    J20 and jammie dogers (lost a bit) for Shopotize and mars (shocking price) for TCB


    7 items on your receipt qualify for comparison


    1x J20 Spritz Apple & Watermelon Juice Drink (750ML) £2.33 £1.50
    1x Mars Bar (51G) £0.60 £0.60
    1x Jammie Dodgers Original (140G) £0.50 £0.59

    I have had her hang up on phone earlier because I am thick and couldn't find her a toilet seat fixing set after looking for 30+ mins. I then found this on ebay how am I to know the bar is adjustable if it doesn't say at others I have been looking at :rotfl::rotfl:

    I have rang mum back but she wont answer her phones so let her sulk .

    Guess who will sort seat out if I got to order above :(
    Hope I don't break her seat.

    :) Well done you - a zip helps across our mouths ;) when dealing with our Mothers :rotfl:

    I totally gave up on expensive loo seats that the hinges always break on.
    We bought the Argos Basic cheapest white loo seat £4.99 & have never replaced it since (4 years ago)
    The hinges are adjustable :T
