    I love the strong women of the Elite, whether it is FC reflection on human nature whilst still protecting people who can be vulnerable, Emerald politely highlighting the benefit of the Elite, Rhosy with her fight with the hawk, VT raising her children to value and respect the individual, I could go on the list would be endless x

    But I have to say LEJC I am disappointed, being home after date night at 7.36 pm…. :D
    Weird day. Found 4 carrier bags full of prescription drugs dumped at the end of our lane. Took them back to the chemist. Things like tramadol, warafrin and co codamal.

    If you sold them… you would be a drug dealer… but debt free!!

    :):):):):)

    Just got back from my first APG shop... I found a womble, I have to admit first time picking one up was rather weird, felt like I was stealing haha.

    Anyway it was done at 1pm so I managed to run the APG on it...


    27 items (14 different) on your bill qualify for comparison ASDA Tesco

    2 x Nestle Nesquik Banana (300g) £3.96 £1.98
    3 x Nestle Munchies Pouch (126g) £3.00 £4.77

    Comparison total (compared products only) £40.42 £42.15


    Very pleased, OH wasn't as impressed as I was... I tried to explain it's like picking £2.51 up off the floor. Happy days :beer:

    Even when they give a couple of quid though, as A is cheapest:( but not 10% cheaper, I still feel shortchanged. Wish they had not bought items such as those I have put in bold.

    Oh forget it - I'd highlighted all I'd highlighted except for the Little Angels hyperbole thing and the Starmix, but then decided to highlight both of those as well:rotfl:. Without those it would of course have been even better. (EDIT: Of course, I've gone now and worked it out - would have been more than twice that amount back. £5.15 - or £5.16 if APG rounds up as it has been doing.) A significant overpayment on the Dr Pepper - for that amount - as well, as they are £1.85 bogo'f' in T. So would have been more APG if they had bought two. They never shop correctly.

    Omg I've just been on the lidl website and their Christmas stuff looks fab

    What is worth getting and what is carp - who has got lidl Christmas stuff in previous years - looking at chocs, biscuits, snacks etc

    Its a 20 mile trip for us to our nearest so I have to get everything I want in one shop :D

    Can recommend the small boxes of Baklava if you have a very sweet tooth, but whatever you do don't open them now otherwise they'll be gone within 30 mins. They're sooo yummy and soooo moreish ;) I've already eaten 3 boxes I had for Xmas.

    Im not to the stage in which I can dissect the receipt like that... But I can't wait until I can :T

    To be honest I was surprised to get anything at all. Makes me wonder the sort of money you could make across the year from picking receipts up like this.

    I did check the cashback sites for the womble but nothing of value :(
