    Good morning Elite :hello:

    'twas raining when I got up at 7am but the sun gas put his hat on hip hip hooray :rotfl:

    Have been to Mr A just before 8.30am and got cheese, will report back when results are in unless someone else beats me to it :D

    All caught up so now need to sort out meds, will need to put in repeat next week. I hate taking some of these tablets but I've tried without them and my joints scream even louder than with them :eek:

    See you later x
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    You needed to buy the cheese in multiple of 2s. It thinks there is a 2 for £3 offer that's why one pack shows as £2. Think I'm right in saying you needed to target your shop against Morries too if buying the mild cheddar as you can see that one is £3 in Ts.

    Yup, you need to buy in 2s for it to pick up A's phantom 2 for £6 :cool: multi

    You can shop against T or M but the mild is £3 in T so you don't get as good a return on that variety

    What a beautiful photo.
    Before you assume, learn the facts,
    Before you judge, understand why,
    Before you hurt someone, feel,
    Before you speak, think.
