    Good morning :) I just had to come back and reply :o I just want to say that I'm really touched by the number of people who wished me well. You peeps really are different from the people I interact with in RL because most of them don't like me :o I think this is mostly because they misunderstand me. Often I come across to people as selfish and uncaring because they misundstand something I've said :(



    I didnt want you to think that I was ignoring you, but wanted to let you know that I do know how you feel.


    My circumstances are different in that I am quitting my job in a couple of weeks :eek: :eek:


    I didnt have anything else lined up for when I leave. To be honest, I still dont have anything concrete but there are things afoot so that I will have stuff going on when I finish


    If you arent happy, you need to do something about it. But you need to do it the right way. Put something else in place first. Please dont do anything rash xx

    2 more policeman seriously hurt in Paris shooting :(

    I know some people may feel different due to troutings, affect on some high streets etc, but I would not wish damage/bad fortune to T as a business. Not only because we benefit greatly from their deals (and ... errors ;) but also because generally they help competition on prices (or at least give us good prices ... to get 10% cheaper in A ;)) and are also a major employer. I know Aldi and Lidl have their fans and do have some good prices, but overall with the way I shop using a range of their competitors I think I generally get cheaper :).

    Oh, and to add, they are a major business on the FTSE 100 stock market so any problems that drive down the share price will impact on many of the general public who have ISAs, pensions etc.

  • Morning all

    It's wet, windy and wild out there this morning and still rather dark.

    Waiting in this morning waiting for delivery of a new table and chairs. Hoping it'll be here early doors so I'm not sat around all day. In the meantime I must go and clear out the crap from the porch so that there's room for them to get in :rotfl:

    Must remember to get to Aldi as well for my free chips before it ends.

    You standing still or will you step into the great unknown,
    Is yours to decide, this is your life.

    Morning all. It's a miserable one here today and I have to go out shortly. Looks like I'm in for a soaking :(
    Good luck to the trigger seekers. I'm sitting this one out as I don't want/need the products involved and am doing my very best not to buy stuff for the sake of it.
  • I was in the jelly aisle in my local A yesterday and thought I would see if I could force a glitch as there seemed to be dozens of jellies, puddings, custards and rices all in a '5 for £2' offer. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to check properly and whilst the product I bought was indeed a trigger in its own offer, there appears to be more than 1 '5 for £2' offer and the products I bought spanned different ones..

    Anyhoo, I bought these three jellies A v W (handy for Sanex and Tob shops)..

    What I think will actually force the glitch is if you buy four of the three flavours above plus the flavour below, which I think is a trigger (it is on A.com and I can't find any trace of it on msm).

    I am at work at the moment and will try it later, however if anyone fancies beating me to it..:whistle:

    I'm hoping the result will be 4 x 69p v 34p +10% = £1.54 apg on a £2 spend..
