    Well you've seen in before then :rotfl::rotfl:

    .....whether you remember seeing it is another matter :p

    Hmmm that's true.

    Now I don't mind my crockery mismatched but I can't have odd flutes:eek:

    I feel a bit unsettled now:o

    Might have to go back to that hotel:cool:

    I read your post earlier celebrate and smiled to myself. I am the fussiest person in the world for diaries. It has to be week to view, have a flexible cover......can't bear hard backed diaries, loads of room for notes in the back, really good quality paper....the list goes on. I have bought a Letts diary for years and checked out Staples and Viking for my quidco bonus before I bought it....neither stock the exact one I need. It was either WHS or buy direct from Letts plus postage.

    I'm loving it already and can't wait to start filling it in. How sad am I?:rotfl:

    I'm a picky mare when it comes to diaries too. My sister always gets me the week to view soft cover Moleskine one. Trouble is, it's wrapped up so I can't get started on it yet, even though I'm itching to.
    For the last couple of years I've vowed I'll only have it as a back up and will be all modern and use the one in my iPad, but I haven't succeeded yet. You can't teach an old dog new tricks :D

    thank you to all you lovely people and yours lists, I did a successful choc shop :j

    I combined a chco trio with things I needed, lost a few pence on a few fillers - vegetables esp :( - but otherwise very pleased.

    The thorntons were on the kids sweeties section and the only filler I could find was swiss :T - exactly what I wanted.

    My store still looks like a plague of locusts have swarmed through

    sada v waitroses

    .55 x ASDA Carrots by Weight per kg £0.41 £0.44
    0.49 x ASDA Onions by Weight per kg £0.36 £0.39
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Mixed Weight Eggs (15) £1.25 N/A
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Sparkling Water (2L) £0.17 N/A
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Still Water (2L) £0.17 N/A
    1 x ASDA Chosen by You Tiger Chest Bread (800g) £1.00 N/A
    1 x Birds Eye Field Fresh Petit Pois (545g) £1.99 £2.00
    1 x Atora Light Shredded Vegetable Suet (200g) £1.09 £1.10
    1 x Great Scot Broth Mix (500g) £0.75 N/A
    2 x Thorntons Premium Collection (200g) £14.00 £7.00
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Tea Bags (80) £0.34 N/A

    You've lost money on your fillers:rotfl::rotfl:! However, that is the price that has to be paid to get much cheaper chocs vs Waities.

    The Atoris may need to be bought in 2s vs Morries - now I tell you:( [Strike]- although that may have gone a couple of weeks or more ago - they were[/Strike] they are on 2 for[Strike]...[/Strike] £2 (thank goodness for msm:rotfl:) offer [Strike](can't even remember the price now)[/Strike] but never as good as M's straight 50p price of a long time back, so being ignored. If people now need them, best checking whether M is still on 2 for... offer. EDIT: M's is Original not Light. So, maybe the best you can do, on the light. Ignore me, I'm just waffling:rotfl:.

    Meanwhile, btw do those SP Teabags compare vs M at 27p this time?

    The new slimming world meals are supposed to be a decent sized portion, they are going to be available in Iceland stores from 18th February priced at £3, Also, on the back of the box is the recipe for the meal so you can then make it yourself if you like it.
    I have heard they are doing.........
    Chicken pizzaiola
    Chicken tikka masala
    Hot smoked salmon farfalle
    Meat balls in spicy sauce
    Roasted vegetable pasta
    Singapore noodles
    Sweet potato curry

    Meatballs

    Thanks would only eat 4 of those and that's if pizzaiola doesn't have pasta in it, i might go and have a look at them. No harm in trying them if a good sized portion ;) Iceland in town centre so could get there :D

    Oh I love my iPad diary :D my whole life is run from it. I also have an app for virtual post it notes, I love that too. If I'm busy I can talk my message onto a virtual post it and pin it to my screen. It doesn't always 'translate' my accent properly though. I've had a few giggly ones :rotfl:

    You want to try talk texting into your phone with a deep bristolian accent! It's so much quicker to type. :rotfl::rotfl:

    None of those fillers lost money Savvy - in fact they added 11p to the APG :)
