    Has anyone else's family use the phrase 'bad tempered enough to fight with her own fingernails' - to describe a cantankerous person who would start an argument with anybody, anything and even themselves

    I tried googling it but came up with nothing so I think its a home grown phrase :)

    I've heard " she would fight with a feather" or "her own shadow"

    I spent a suspicious amount of time the other week checking everything in our local and there was nothing decent comparing.

    Ditto, been checking for the past two weeks, but no comparers, but there were some decent JCs at £3 and quite a few others at the same price well worth buying ;)

    The last decent one to compare was the Porcupine.

    Can I be exceedingly cheeky and ask how much peeps make on Soppytize?

    Once you claim an item does it disappear?

    I picked up on aau's advice to mhoc re milk etc

    Anything else?

    According to mine I've redeemed just over £200 since I joined:T

    I bought 12 last week but didn't get any fillers. :o

    Not all the same wine unfortunately but didn't have enough items to compare otherwise might have been of some help. I will go and stand at back of class. :o

    RTC wine all disappeared at my local too and no I did not buy it all. :eek:
