    Exactly what I thought ;)

    That's what I thought too.

    Remember a while back a dodgy note was put on a bus shelter near a park saying "This is a muslim area no dogs allowed" or something daft like that.
    And lots of people fell for it and starting ranting?

    I wouldn't be surprised at all if this wasn't another far right stunt to incite racial hatred?
    What ever it is I feel sorry for the poor cats who have been killed? :(

    Dont you just love your kids sometimes...we have been really busy this morning and both sons have worked their socks off...they've come home,showered and then went out...only to return with cream cakes and have sat me down with a chocolate eclair and a cream scone,with a lovely cup of tea...
    Its true that sometimes a 12 and a 16 year old can really challenge...but then moments like this make me feel very blessed


    They did however say as the second cream cake was handed over "dont tell dad...that would have been his!"

    Good afternoon all.

    Thanks LFAB for the new thread. I've not had chance to catch up on the weekends posts yet but have seen my post re 7 day active quoted this morning. Is JF 3 for 10 still a goer? TIA

    I've just done a JF shop so I will let you know.

    Used my £20+ APG on the toothbrushes SA didn't even comment on it!!! I think it will produce a £16 one!! :rotfl:

    Does everyone like the peach candles? Must admit I got 5 the other week and I am not that keen on them!!! Ok if work out free of course don't think I will be getting anymore of them.

    Hi there. You know I got a little bit excited last night about possible good new offers I might find in Morries today. I was expecting a little bit of change. However, it wasn't that exciting doing the actual 'collection' - instead it's hard brainwork and I feel almost exhausted (in other words I am not exhausted at all:D, being in a stage of merely "almost";)). My head is almost exploding (in other words it is not:D). I guess I could never have it any other way - it's doing exactly what it does best and who know's what goes on inside my brain lol:rotfl::rotfl:.

    So much to do that I've not got time to stop and give details here. Just bear with me, as lots and lots to do on the M lists first. I didn't expect this many new items, though it is :T that there are, although there are also quite a few old items to be crossed out.

    In short though Bird's Eye Sweetcorn and Mixed Vegetables are almost certainly going off (the exception being if the APG collectors pick up an incorrect price for M - and I wouldn't lay your hopes on that as I feel it is extremely unlikely to happen even though I cannot rule it out absolutely). I think Cadbury Twinpots have ended in M, but need to check that again at second store. The Ski yoghurts have ended (though I saw them pick up full price on a womble several weeks ago even though they were 84p?). There is a price increase on the equivalent to A CBY Pink Salmon tins 213g.

    So, if you want any frozen veg. (have room in your freezer), or any of the above items, then I suggest you get down to A today - the Bird's Eyes are still 2 for £3 instore but £2 straight on a.com/msm? - one of each Bird's Eye maybe. They are doubling in price in M.

    As for new items, I have got some really really good ones! :doh:Shall I mention the main one of them now and thus steal the punchline from my next post and make that appear to be less good that what it is? There are Maris Piper Potatoes 2.5kg - they are at individual price of 99p, itself a very good price for non-whoopsied but - it does not stop there - not merely 99p but any 3 for £2.00 price:D:D. As for anything else, bear with me as there is so much to be done!

    Don't get Cadbury Twinpots AND Maris Potatoes though:D:rotfl::rotfl: - remember you're on the old collection only today and the Potatoes are *not* in the APG at this stage assuming they ever get there.

    Remind me, folks, to mention about the "M cheaper campaign" tomorrow, in case I forget. And, at the moment, I'm to be left to sort out the M lists:cool::eek::eek::rotfl:.

    I know there was a lot of talk on here about school shoes the other day, I have always gone to clarks for my DD's, this year my purse is £80 lighter, normally I pay about £34 each but the ones my two picked were £40 each!!!! :D

    Let's hope we get the year out of them, but that's never happened before!!!!!
