    Just what kind of Epic Glitch would be required to make any of us lot part with £120 in a supermarket

    I don't think I could do it, there would be a mini tug of war going on with me, the SA and my debit card :D

    Well... my day had been eventful and very long! Start at 5, out of house for 5.30. In office for 7, very eventful day tried to get home for 7 to go to Morries....... stuck in traffic so got home just before 8 to pick DS2 and reindeer girl up to go shopping. Bless her she was wet with sweat through when she went through the till for the first time, she then got into the swing of things... totally stocked our, reindeer and one of DS2 friends house (it is really sad as he is only 20 and had lost both parents by the time he was 17, but has a great older brother).

    We had a great time in Morries, giving out the till splits that we got with every shop and a 'few' of the £5 tokens, we got carried away, I think everyone in the shop got something. Arrived home to find two of his friends in the kitchen preparing to cook... they had no idea what they were doing. I took reindeer girl back to her house to feed the animals, as I was taking the F&V into the kitchen she starts screaming... the guinea pig was lying there listless. So now I have reindeer girl and the flipping dying guiniepig in the lounge, a totally wrecked kitchen as they made smoothies and no where to put anything. OH is now making me a cup of tea... bliss

    :kisses3: :cool: never even thought of all those £1.50 off £20 spends they have been going in the bin :o

    What if it was in my jacket pocket, and it isnt now? :p
    It wasnt though, it is misplaced in the house somewhere, unless I have thrown it out by accident...

    Do you have piles DM like me? Could they not just be misplaced among them. ;) Maybe even stuck to something else. :eek:

    I find allsorts in my piles. :o

    I let orchard slip so I have no steak coupons :( I just ran out of time for all that stuff. If you can spend them on pre-packed steaks though, it'd be worth doing it now ;)

    I have had a reminder I have not participated yet. :o

    I don't want to look to see what has happened to my healthy score. :eek:

    There was a woman in front of me at Ms today

    Her shopping came to £122

    I nearly had a heart attack on her behalf :eek:

    She wasn't phased though, she even said 'lovely' in the way that us welshies do :T

    I was aghast for quite some time afterwards :eek:

    One of my friend spends over £160 a week on her food shopping, I give her a couple of £5 off coupons yesterday and she was so grateful. I don't think I could part with that sort of cash anymore, I use to spend £100 ish a week years ago until I found this fantastic site.
    We're just happy to have a home, a family and our health. Whatever else is just added and it fits. :)
