I regularly cut some bushes back that are 400m away from my house. I like to do a little for the community. they grow over a small footbridge to a wooded area where I take my dogs for a walk. it only takes me 5 mins but if council paid someone to do it I expect it would be quite expensive.

edit I say regular but its only once a year lol

Yes. If I owned hedge cutting equipment then yes I would cut the hedge as it gets out of control & whips the shopping out of your hands.
It is both sides of the path which was originally 10 feet wide.
Now the hedges almost meet in the middle & mug you
Bear in mind this is a public footpath that is used constantly.

Local Councillor did photo shoot opportunity & posed with hedge trimmer & leaf blower

Couple of days with my friends in Derby. Very relaxed but not very MSE.

We saw Dawn of the Planet of the Apes in their new 3D IMAX screen. It was awesome

I managed to bring boxes of cat food and a cat bowl from the recent Whiskas glitch, blooming heavy in my suitcase! And we both enjoyed a chilled bottle of Ts finest prosecco :cool:

Do you mean you took Whiskas and the cat bowl to Derby - do they not have any shops with cat food in Derby?

Right I am off to work on the main computer now to check today's receipts - stand by with your pens and shopping lists incase I find anything interesting on my wombles

Savvybuyer

Another very expensive shop, overpaid for on everything and no recompense. V. expensive deodorant - paying £2 for only 150g and having to buy 3 (others, such as Right Guard, have gone down to £1.44 or below and do not require multiple purchase - of course they are the prices I'd compare to when they were full individual price in A and a glitch). The wrong eggs. The Maris Piper potatoes are very expensive too. The 613g chicken breast - I always have them buying that recently and it loses out - works out at about £7:eek:/kg on the A price (my guide is £5/kg or below). The Spinach - a small pack of 160g rather than a 300g for £1. I'd expect 300g for £1. The apple just 600g:(, a weight reduction compared to previous 750g and more, and at my full price of £1.

The seasoning is way too dear - looking at other packs for 50p but these are low gs. The Chicken Fillets - well, £6.89/kg:eek:. The Onken yogurt overpaid by at least 40p, if not more. Only the loose bananas:rotfl: seem remotely 'good' value, and even they were paid for at full 68p/kg rather than any 10% being got on this shop, and are far more expensive than if they had been bought as part of an exact £5 shop from Morries somewhat earlier, with Sun voucher. I don't think 68p/kg is the lowest price - of course you can get whoopsied bananas much cheaper and also seem to have been 67p/kg before (must be quite some time ago), according to the example comparison still showing on the APG site.

For me, that amount would be done on 14 separate shops and then 'only' having to get 7 other items on each shop. Putting 2.06kg:eek: on a single shop wastes the opportunity to use them as fillers on each subsequent vs T or M shop and thus having to get an extra item on each of those now if you put an unnecessary amount on one original shop. Nowadays I see no point in buying duplicates of items if they then leave you with too much and unable to use one of the same item on another APG shop, thus now having to buy more there and pay more to get up to the 8 items. (It may be a different matter if it is an urgent glitch or trying to 'max out' the voucher back for some reason.)

Yes I took them. They have a cat and they could do with the free stuff as they sometimes struggle for money
