    Did anyone watch xfactor last night ?
    The first lady that sang..the one that kept rubbing her bum
    I laughed so much I thought I was gonna pee myself:rotfl:
    Yes she was brilliant, I'm glad they put her through :rotfl:
    I've been ordering 10 Udis a week for months now. Always good to get confirmation they're still working. I give them to my gluten-free cousin.
    I've started to order them twice weekly recently. I don't know how I'll afford my shopping if this glitch comes to an end :D

    I have started to look for windows and doors for the new house....yes I know it is a very long and slow process.

    I have decided on sash windows.

    But I am stuck on the doors. There will be two bi-folding doors, a back door, a door to the garage, but the front door opening is huge. I am thinking either something really modern, or really really purple!

    Funny how some things go full circle
    when we married in 1978 hubby gave me £30 a week housekeeping
    food milkman etc..
    now 37 years later theres 5 of us living here and i still only spend around £30 a week shopping:rotfl:

    Food in the 1970s was very expensive, it could be up to half of your disposable income.
    Food now in relative terms is the cheapest it has ever been.
    Even so £30 for 5 is remarkable :)

    Right hubby is awake so off to do some dinner.
    I've just been looking at photos of grandson Molly has uploaded.
    Can you believe this little boy is just 12months and 2 weeks old?
    He's 33" tall already and wears size 7 shoes. His daddy is a giant, OK he thinks he's 6ft 8in & mum is 5ft 11". I feel like a midget next to them & I'm a respectable 5'6".

    You might have to carry a photocopy of his birth cert around with you - the places that give free entry to under 2 s or under 3 s will be asking for proof :)

    Can I ask do you have more than one account as I am now at my limit and can not do another shop until at least the 4th of Sept :mad:


    If you have more than one account do you need a separate payment card too:(

    Only two I tested are two I posted the other day. (hipp strawberry & raspberry yogurt, hipp strawberry topped cereal)

    Buying 11+1 should always work as long as they are in an offer elsewhere.

    Someone posted they were trying hipp penne with tomato, I don't remember seeing a comparison posted though and can't remember who was buying them (sorry, I'm dreadful with names :o)

    I've not worked out the return but the penne with tomato is 10 for £5 so although the asda side will be lower, the offer is better in Tesco.

    ...Ok I've worked out the return now on buying 12 below against Tesco

    Canti review from Mr TS. :eek:

    He was impressed with the cork, it smelt good, it tasted good until he swallowed it. :(

    Apparently we will be having lots of spag bols. :rotfl:

    Sorry DM for wasting your money and anyone else who bought it too. :o

    You did right TM. :cool:

    DD2 brought me big bar of Hersheys back from USA, the one with Almonds in, I can't see what all the fuss is about tastes like, I hope I don't offend, like I have thrown it up. :o

    It works in-store and CC/HD, but it can be difficult finding 11 of the same flavour in-store.

    These 3 flavours should work, 11 of one flavour and 1 of another - as the apg is using tesco's website and they are all in the offer on tesco.com I don't see why they wouldn't.

    Although mango and banana hasn't been confirmed it's not been reported as not working either
