    Hello to my Elite friends, excuse my lurking at the minute :o

    Bit gutted about my jelly beans and sausages as they were supposed to compare favourably :( Still a good result so thanks to everyone for posting the glitches.....

    2 x ASDA Butcher's Selection Reduced Fat Cumberland Sa... £3.10 N/A

    Sausages are outside of 10% weight range (400g v 454g) so won't compare.

    An update on my lightbulb hunt.......tried home bargains, B&M, wilkos and the pound shops. They all stock mainly the old style bulbs and if they do stock the energy savings ones they are between £3 and £4 ....just can't bring myself to spend that much....I'm getting so mean:rotfl:

    Thanks for all the suggestions and I'll look online later.....that's if I can find my iPad in the dark:rotfl:

    we have a lightbulb problem as well - we have only had 2 out of 3 overheads in the living room for weeks now. OH reckons that the bulbs are only sold by ikea - another 2 weeks before we go in that direction.
