    She is adorable. Wish I could get another dog but I know Poppy wont accept one.

    Poppy is asleep by my side. Did you see the pics of her I posted last week ?

    I'm not looking forward to finding out how she will react to a new pup. I think it will be ok as she is very good with other dogs and well socialised.

    But its a different ball game when a dog enters another dogs home so it should be interesting :)

    I like here raincoat. what does she think of it ?

    Poppy doesn't like other dogs and barks at them I have to do detours if I spot a dog when out.

    She is completely different with people and children will roll over for tickle belly .

    She loves her raincoat its the rain she hates lol

    Hi itch for a glitch sorry you got pulled in but it sounds like you handled it well.

    Am sure they won't distribute your photo. If theyre not banning you they can hardly expect other stores to. By the sounds of it your apg's have been below £10. Are you going to carry on?
    Lol
    I'm imagining the managers talk to one another, they might even be friends. I struggle to think some oik targetting huge supermarkets, turning over millions a week would be high on a managers to do list, especially considering the adverse publicity. As far as he knows I'm the only one tagetting his store, there might be others, I know there are others from here in the area (I'm not too far from Swad !)
    I've always kept under a tenner, mainly to save the override on £9.99.
    Carry on ? Of course.
    The managers parting comment was "you must have soft hands with all that handwash", I just said "Oh, I dont use it".
    Something to exersize his mind over a coffee.

    Do have a look, particularly at the new (in bold) items on the Non-Grocery items on the M list (near the end as "buy in M") and also at the "buy in M" beauty & health section, as there are some good items on there and I know no-one looks at my M list:rotfl:!

    Just thought I'll highlight it. I spot a pattern:(. 50m Floss regularly on 50p in M. A did have some 50m Floss ages ago, which didn't compare but seemed like they never wished to better M's price on that as A later stopped stocking its 50m floss and is now just 10m for way more expensive than 50p!

    Now we have Savers Disposable Razors (10) at 24p (is not available in every M store so don't make special trip;)). SP version of Disposable Razors were 24p ages ago but didn't compare, then shot up in price - I think to over 60p for months!:eek: - then disappeared from A altogether by now. I assume this is a case where, in A, even in non-ex-Netto stores you're now confined to having to buy standard range razors at much more expensive cost! Saving you money each day:rotfl:! Clearly no need to match, or beat, M's 24p price anymore as no SP version online it seems now. I'd go back to buying Savers Razors at 24p in M, if you don't want to pay much more when shopping in A. That's if you have it in your M:(, may only be in bigger stores, such as one that, fortunately, I visited today. That said, I find things in smaller (non-Local) stores that aren't available in bigger ones!

    Evening all, just back from one loooong day, been putting on face plates in a block of flats they are refurbing. Not quite as easy as it sounds I have to say :eek:
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare
