    finally I found the locarr post I was looking for

    He pointed out that the porridge oats were a cross-promo trigger for Robinsons, cleaning products and cereals. Folks were convinced that a carton of muller rice had something to do with it and he and I both spent 3 hours trying to convince you all otherwise :rotfl:

    ETA: I didn't know we could say "holy crap" :rotfl:

    Hi all,
    Sorry to post and run, still refitting the bathroom in my non-work time so not much time on here the last couple of days.
    I have read back as much as I can and see that there has been a lot of glitch changes:cool:
    I have to get some more wall tiles later after my kip so will call in at the nearby A. Can someone update the current 'offers'?
    Looks like the Olay & Gallo have finished, Sanex and knobbly are new but how about JF Keratin, Dove and Radox?
    Sorry, must catch some zzzzzzzzzz's but will look in a bit later before I set off.
    Thanks in advance,

    ChelseaFred:)

    (had to smile at the Ambrosia/Porridge Oats etc, that's when I started too. Still have some of the 15p hair gel and cheapo conditioner as a memento):D
