    Savvy tends not to pay attention to the finer detail :rotfl:

    Sometimes I do [pay attention to fine detail], and indeed I often get drawn to finer detail (or "the" finer detail - see what I was drawn to there?:cool::rotfl:) that most 'normal' folks would pass by - I've 'traditionally' often been pedantic and involved myself in semantic hair-splitting but, over the years, also been moulded by society to take the spikes out of my backside (if that's okay) sometimes and to stop being 'hung up' on things and, maybe from the outside, seemingly straight-laced (though I'm actually a really nice guy at heart and full of fun and humour).

    I won't claim the need to be specially considered or given greater allowances, since I'm fairly normal and get by as well as most folks seem to although perhaps I say that because, from my POV, I don't see what I'm missing, that other folks have and, because things have always been the way they have been to me, I can't see what extra effort I am perhaps having to make that other people generally don't, because I can't see how much effort or not other people are having to make to function in life.

    With me, prioritisation is sometimes a problem (or if not an actual "problem", an issue occasionally) and supposedly (I don't know why I am doubting it as it is almost certainly the case) I have some deficit in executive functioning and weak central coherence in the brain (zzz...:D:rotfl:) that often means - like these glitches at short notice on Wednesdays - I may be able to foresee there might be a glitch but not what the actual glitch will be and which shopping I need to get prepared - I'm often into "panic stations" at short notice, trying to cope with the change, and thrown by trying to sort out a shop quickly and get to A for a glitch before I get back here - pressured by time but, I guess, in a way I thrive on it. But often it does throw me and I'm trying to deal with it - I think other people on here might be able to adapt more easily to such a quick change of plan to do a glitch at short notice.

    I have other abilities and it's sometimes easier for me to assimilate information, though sometimes it's slow careful consideration rather than being able to meet quick - there's a glitch on - quick now! Being "forced" to meet the latter does put pressure on that I have to cope with.

    As part of that - or at least it's a similar thing - sometimes I am here trying to get things done, sorted and simply don't have time to look into the detail. Believe or it not, I sometimes have to make assumptions and short-cuts to get information rather than be able to pay much attention to the finer detail. So, it's not a question of me 'slacking' and being inattentive - for the detail, to some extent, is always present for me - you don't see things how I do! - but sometimes I am 'getting on with things' and there is no time to think about details such as 'is this signature change going to give rise to any issues?'

    I am often focused - focused on a task. And I can continue for hours which most people would not find easy to do. However, in the focus of the task, of compiling a list, my focus was on that and therefore it took me away from considering signature rules. Too focused on the money-saving aspect:laugh:. That's an explanation as to how it works from my POV. It helps, I think, to explain my seeming lack of attention to some things sometimes, as well as society over many years making me less pedantic and my being made to comply with that, rather than...really, what I should do is be more pedantic! HTH.

    I was initially surprised at how widespread it all is and the fact that amongst loads of other countries it is still legal to rape dogs in 16 states of the good old USA xxx

    :eek:That is awful

    I found this site by accident, was looking on hukd and it sent me over here for something and the name caught my eye and the wonderful call of trouty was so kind and sent me some x box games that he got cheap from morrisons i think. Never looked back since, would be lost without this site.

    Would love an easter egg glitch, especially the ferroro rocher ones, they look divine.

    Unlike the hotdeals poster, I would not have been surprised at this going through at 25p at all! There were some in my A, in their own compartment, with big 50p signage on but a SEL of 25p reduced to clear that was plain to see.

    I think that I (and therefore anyone else) could use these to make up the rest of a bill to whatever voucher spend is needed for example (if that be needed), although they do not appear on the APG or count as one of the 8 items. The ones I saw in my A are the single can Sandwich Tuna. It appears that these are not on msm and, if that's so, their excellent 25p price (until/unless they go even lower:laugh:) would not appear and compare to way more expensive price, inevitably, at a competitor. They may therefore be good no-shows! (Even though you would have to have enough other items.) I'd just add that this has not been tested!

    Otherwise, they can be put onto a targetted shop against whichever competitors return as N/A on them.:)

    i found MSE in 2006 thanks to my OH who heard Martin on radio 2 one day. And i came here in 2011 in the Tesco DTD festival. Oh how I miss those days. Going to Tesco day after day recycling PP.
    I can honestly say MSE and this thread have saved me financially. Love the chat etc and all the friendliness.

    Bought some Easter eggs in one stop shop today. They are on offer at £1 until 15th March.

    Ok so they are slightly Smaller as 136g but I prefer that as less chocolate for my DS's. They had mini eggs, flakes, thorntons with a football and thorntons with a butterfly.

    I think this is a good price if you don't want to risk an ApG or pp shop.

    NOTE you have to be able to not eat them for a few weeks whilst waitng for Easter :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Also had 240 pg tips for £3

    That's the key isn't it?:laugh: Try with my household:D:rotfl::rotfl:!
  • I found this site by accident around the time of the ambrosia glitch and Artha made me feel very welcome, I met up with him by chance in Sada a few times, and a number of personal messages what a lovely chap - very kind and genuine x I found out that Claire 1972 lives near me and we now meet up for glitchy chats and raid each other's stash from time to time. my food bill before finding this site could be up to £400 a month, I doubt I even spend that in 6 months these days - love this site and can't thank those that contribute enough xxx


    A house divided against itself cannot stand - I love this proverb, and thanks to my lovely family for making me realise that we can get through most things together ;)
