    Afternoon all :D
    Eek, unexpected operation news, not sure how I feel. :o

    Was told it would be 3-6 months before they operated on me again to form the channel that closed, as they needed to let my body heal. Specialist bladder nurses told me they didn't think I would be done until after Christmas.

    Just had a call from secretary. They want me in on 21st October. :eek:

    I guess it will be good to get it over and done with, but really had thought it would be after Christmas, so not mentally prepared at all.
    So much for going back to work in a month, but sooner its done the better, you will be able to dance on the tables at Christmas :rotfl::T

    Well, after a 3 day wait, my mystery box finally arrived.

    condesa de flores cava £5
    Freixenet 2012 vintage especial £7.50
    T Finest Prosecco £9 :j
    Leprince Royer champagne £12

    And as I have predicted/hoped
    2 x Lanson :D £40

    Finally, a box I am happy with :D

    Total value £73.50, so less than my other boxes, but the quality is so much better.

    I think it might be fizz o'clock :D

    I've just noticed this when I've now looked at my receipt from Mr T (I normally look at them immediately after shopping, to see if mistakes, but this time I was in a rush) and I've spent less than I thought!:j

    ASDA Smartprice Cornish Pasty (150g)


    Today's best prices
    Store_2.15px.png
    38p 25.3p / 100g

    Store_1.15px.png
    30p



    This is actually "Minced Beef & Onion Pasty". Price in T has, indeed, gone down:D from 38p to 30p! Woo-hoo!:j I'm not shopping at A these days due to the travelling distance meaning the 10%, for me, isn't worthwhile. Although I was actually in A a couple of days ago when on the way back from somewhere and could have bought one then at 38p (would not have had eight items) - quite glad, now, that I did not. It may be that the Minced Beef & Onion Pasty would compare 38p vs 30p T on the APG - not sure if it does so on the 'new' APG?

    So - there is actually another 'good' item. Have you buying Minced Beef & Onion Pasties and spending on them now:( (that you were never going to buy at all before I mentioned them:rotfl:).

    Ha!:D:T:T So they have them in A! Not on msm/a.com for me, but this does make a difference - now I am moving them from "buy in M" (on 2 for £1 there, and even picking up mbuy on Steak & Kidney and Cheese & Onion:D) onto Avs M. Thanks very much indeed for these ones!

    (I think the 2 for £1 in M may be due to end this Sunday - might go onto straight 50p each afterwards:rotfl:.)

    I have the Cheese & Onion Pie as 175g in M. Nice to see a higher weight one comparing to M price and refunding 10%:rotfl:.
