    Tiger, I also discovered (thru google) that is you mix Vaseline with Flour, it makes quite a good, sticky make up putty, ideal for making fake wounds etc. it takes facepaint quite well, but is very sticky, so good to hold it to the skin, but hard to get off your fingers! Fake blood can be make with Glycerine (£1.30 for big bottle at the pharmacy in Boots) and red + Blue food colour. Time to be gory!!

    A simple little trip to get tick or treaters I do every year is this. I cut open a Black Big bag and put this over the top of the front door, attached above the door. This jsut makes it look a little creepy. However, I use this to hide the surprise! Underneath this I rig up a simple string through a loop with a creepy item on the end. I have used a spider and a Bat in the past. As the kids are delving into the bowl for sweets, I can then lower the scary thing down either into the bowl or onto their heads. It scares the crap out of them, but it also normally gets the parents standing behind them too. This year, as we will have a Headless Man hanging from the tree, I shall make a scary head to lower down, whilst asking if they have seen the Head from the headless man.

    :rotfl:I notice the Morries Match and More "more info." page and the T&Cs say that you must spend more than £15. Based on strict reading, this suggests the minimum spend needed to qualify is £15.01.

    Who is this vs please?

    EDIT: Actually, yes, that is a very good one - looks like it's T at £4.99 and then the More Points is £4 off. 75cl wine for 99p each:rotfl:!

    Could be vs A or S as each of those is £5.

    Now, that's my price (99p) as wine costs supermarkets about £1 to make. So, just about break-even for them:rotfl::rotfl:. Sadly the extra 50p - what?:huh: are they turning into Sainsbobs?:rotfl::rotfl::eek: - makes the bottles £1.24 each not 99p each. Well done for not exceeding the caps. Think we need to get that 50p to go even further and match to something at below-cost price elsewhere:rotfl:.

    EDIT 2: Sorry, it looks like I've misunderstood:( - it appears the 4000 More points is the total for two bottles and therefore 2000 each. Therefore, just £2 off and not £4. Making them £2.99:eek: or maybe £3.24 with the 50p charge apportioned. Doesn't look very good at all:rotfl: - I want them at £1, preferably below!:rotfl::rotfl: Back in the real world though, £2.99 is a pretty good price - even though the supermarket is probably still making a profit on them:(:rotfl:.
