    Hi Pippi
    now you are on the mainland you could try this site:

    mysupermarket.co.uk

    this compares your shop with these supermakados:
    Tesc0
    Sinsbugs
    morRISons
    A$da
    Waitro$£££
    Ocad0
    Aldi

    and you can do split lists for different shops (if you have them next to or very near eachother).
    HTH
    FA

    just in case you need to know:
    HWTHMBO - He Who Thinks He Must Be Obeyed (gained a promotion, we got Civil Partnered Thank you Steinfeld and Keidan)

    Hey Fannyadams thank you that's a big help :) much appreciate it!
    Funny to have the choice. We've most of the biggies within 10-15 miles.

    :) (except the octo shopthing) :) Hope you're well?

    Beanie and Mooomin I didn't get half me list done yesterday - so that stands for today too. Mostly my lists are a work-in-progress.

    Little-sweetie love discombulated :) and the gals seem to be settling.

    6 eggs yesterday (although one was spoilt (thin shell))

    They nearly didn't get the sofa in here they needed to remove the legs and breathe in tightly!

    Right its a cracking day, I've a thing or two to do and a trip to the neep shop to orchestrate.

    Can't leave too soon as the 'bridge' traffic will be mince - so a bit of charging about here first.

    Yesterday's list stands :)

    Banks/coffee/etc you all know the drill

    Lost 1lb this week. Last night turned into a twiglet munching happy new sofa fest with some wine (hardly low calorie or much movement last night) todays a bit more full on so we'll see.

    Stuff to go to the dump too.

    Best get a wriggle on eh!

    My sister accidentally ordered a whole kilo of fresh ginger recently, instead of just a tiny bit :D Probably last years :D

    And I know someone else who received 40 bananas all in one go :eek:

    and someone who received one solitary mushroom in its own plastic bag :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Online shopping can be quite perilous!

    (Also, be prepared for it to come in about 40 gazillion plastic bags, I used to unpack online shopping for someone I worked for and they seemed incapable of putting more than three things in one carrier bag!)

    Waves!

    Baked alive here (sorry if you've no sun) but despite the cricked neck (boxes huge) and the skint fingers (pesky alan key) the garden table is up and ALL of the wedding loot is now spent.

    Must find water.......and some lunch.

    :D

    Waves hello.

    Oh dear where did yesterday disappear too?

    Well morning these here lands.

    I found water and lunch and a broom and then two boys, then some shopping and man it was bedtime after that lot.

    Cheery - all ok with the shopping thus far - they had substituted a couple bits but nowt major and we scored posh dishwasher tablets as the valoooo ones were out of stock. 4 bags which I gave back to the man. I don't use them I says. OK he says we'll have them back.

    RT - married belly that's brilliant! This was mainly a 'stock up' so the 20 tins of tomatoes, I'm glad he lugged in........:D seems useful for certain things can't say I'll be doing it much but a replenishment once in a while might be sensible. (only if they've an offer on I think cos I don't normally spend that much at once over a month.

    Littlesweetie - cornish pasties are my fave!
