    I'm not happy, even though here's my (slightly) better voucher opp. vs Morries:

    12 items (8 different) on your bill qualify for comparisonASDALogoWhite.gif Morrisons
    CheaperSignBlue.gif+£0.44

    Shop included these items:
    1 x Philadelphia Light with Chives (200g)£1.84£1.00:)
    1 x Nescafe Cafe Menu Cappuccino (10)£1.47£1.49:(
    1 x Cif Camomile Wood Floor Cleaner (1L)£2.35N/A
    Comparison total (compared products only)£12.27£12.71

    Not happy on the Cappuccino as, although not 10% cheaper and it contributes something, it is just a few pence. Very unhappy that they used the Cif Cleaner as an expensive filler vs Morries (the "winning" comp.), rather than getting it vs T and giving me the whole £1.45. Instead, they cancelled it all out by mixing up their shop and putting these two items with one another:mad::mad::mad::(:

    9 items on your bill qualify for comparisonASDALogoWhite.gif Tesco

    CheaperSignBlue.gif+£1.20
    1 x Nescafe Cafe Menu Cappuccino (10)£1.47£2.99:mad::(
    1 x Cif Camomile Wood Floor Cleaner (1L)£2.35£1.00

    Ended up with voucher for under a pound:(. Didn't even give 10% cheaper than the Philadelphia but just an equivalent to a straight price match with everything else as if it were treated as useless fillers that may as well have been non-compare!:(:(:(

    Nenen the white set of drawers from Argos are put together with those locking nut type screws not just brass ones like the natural wood, so guessing with the extra weight will be stronger.

    We are not putting that one together yet as looking at it, I would only want it in a bathroom, the white finish is a bit plastic looking to me. But would wipe down nicely in a bathroom.

    I think the natural ones are much more pleasant to look at and you could use them anywhere, bedrooms, halls etc. Mr TS has made the 3 drawer sturdier by temporarily putting it together so that the screws marked the wood and then pre drilling the holes slightly, this has made a huge difference to the overall structure of the frame. No gaps where the wood meets. :T

    In both cases the drawers are very flimsy and will not hold much weight as their is only a cardboard type bases to them no wood under the frame to hold the middle of the drawers weight. I would think they may sag after time hopefully fine for me as I said will be keeping scarves, gloves and hats in them. ;)

    Thank you so much for your comprehensive review Tinyshoes :A:A- I really appreciate this. :beer::beer:

    Next one has an untender-heart:(, so I'm not entering it tonight. I suspect I'm stuffed on it anyway because of some £2 Coco Pops:(:(. And some Pepsi 2L regular. That may or may not work vs Morries, but will lose against elsewhere. Then I, no doubt, will have lost vs M due to the Diced Beef £6.65 - I bet that'll compare to zillions of pounds vs M and thus take everything away!:(:(:( Oh, and some 50p biccies:(. And 2 for £1.60 bread:(, the more I look the worse it appears to be getting!

    Waiting till later in the week, but no holding of breath:rotfl:.

    They don't like a daily motion, nor do they like a double quote banana or an O bee two. All in all, it seems the censorship is a bit !!!!!!.

    It's illogical, just the same as the vast majority of people on this world:p:rotfl:. Then again, the whole concept that certain words are to be deemed taboo in certain, unspecified circumstances (and all of that applied completely inconsistently and based on no fathomable pattern) is entirely illogical too, but that is merely consistent with the English language* which is, itself, illogical.

    :(:D
