Round my way they call a splinter a "skelf"

She is still about.
I'm not panicking about her condition so much now as she is eating well here.

She is wobbly on her back end but manages the wall.
I'm leaving the RSPCA to sort her out as I can't get her to vets myself at the moment.
It turns my stomach to see her hair loss

Maybe the owner has taken it to vet?
Maybe she does feed her?
Maybe she is totally blind & can't see her naked cat?

I wish :mad:

Glad she is eating well at yours.

Hope the RSPCA does help ...

I am watching 'The Dog Rescuers' I recorded last night and :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: wont tell you what I could do to the owners and I am not a nasty person but

Hi, I was in M&S Monmouth at Easter, I'm not 100% sure, but I think there were SS tills. It's a really small store, but IIRC there were a couple of manned tills and a couple of SS? Have a vague recollection of someone pushing in front of us in the SS queue, so we went to manned till instead .There is also a nice Waitrose pretty much nextdoor (well, nextdoor from the back of the store, a few doors down on the high street), so don't forget your Waitrose card for free hot drinks

Wonderful! I remembered the Waitrose, but was trying to think where M&S was. We will have our W cards ready to get our first free coffees! When we were last in Monmouth, er 15 years ago, I remember lots of charity shops, and we found even more books we wanted there than in Hay. Are there still lots of charity shops? Thanks for all the inside knowledge!

Same company.

You can claim ST & CS, ST and CoS but you can't claim Cs & CoS (don't ever buy anything at all for CoS on the same receipt as something for CS and vice versa)

CS is preferable for this deal as CoS only pays out 95%

I haven't tried doing any of these yet and would really appreciate an idiot's guide if anyone could explain how these work and what you have to do. :beer:
Given my dh's negative attitude to the time I spend trying to shop the Elite way already, I'd also be grateful for answers to a few other questions on this topic:
Does everyone find ST, VS & CoS are really worth doing?
How much do you save via them in an average month v how long does it take to do?
Does it make glitch shopping and getting apgs more complicated to do?

I know lots of posters have said previously that dh should can be won over by cheap beer but unfortunately he rarely drinks more than the odd glass or two of wine (I already have lots of it) or a few sniffers of whiskey a couple of times a year. He has enjoyed a glass or two of Pimms recently but can take it leave booze really. He's not even that bothered by food... typical academic! The way to my dh's heart is through books and I already use bookbutler!

I on the other hand can be tempted by cheap booze, chocolates, beefburgers, bacon, butter, squash, cereal...............
