These grocery CB things are not floating my boat at all lately. They've gone very poorI make a point now if there's something I see that I can claim....usually only free stuff lately.... I buy separately. They are counting on the rest of the info from our receipts for data which they probably sell on to other companies.
If they don't get it then maybe they'll bring back offers like the £10 off £30 at Ts.....that was so good0 -
Bed for me.
I had such a restless night last night. Up and down all night and I still managed to miss the red moon
I enjoyed the distraction of Q/bespoke tonight. Anything that earns you £30 in half an hour that doesn't involve standing on a street corner is good
Goodnight0 -

I think I touched on the fact on here before that it was best not to tell him what was going on with me. Well, with recent developments that changed. We decided that we would have to at least tell him something to satisfy the obvious questions from him over coming weeks because as my Grandma would have said........he's not as green as he's cabbage looking.....
So the conversation was strictly 'need to know'. Plain facts and no information overload. Afterwards he simply said 'OK' and went on his way. He's obviously been pondering since then (yesterday) and probably googling if I know him.
I was sorting his drink and he said 'are you going to die mum'so I said 'well we are all going to die, aren't we'
Then he said 'but do you think you will die before 2018' :cool: I said 'I bloomin well hope not'
'Oh that's good' he said 'I think my homework will get harder from next year you know, which GCSEs and stuff and I won't be leaving school until then' :eek: :eek: :rotfl::rotfl:
I was just sat there thinking to myself how nice it was to be appreciated :cool: when he came back downstairs and said 'Actually I never thought but do you get homework at college and university? I said 'yes of course you get homework and lots of studying to do too'
He said 'better make that 2022 then' :eek:

Been quid Co ' in but only first one of 5 are showing on my and mums accounts. Was very quick and simple keeping tesco direct open in another window but will see statuses of my accounts tomorrow before continuing. Today's were home electrical so if I use a different section of catalogue each day I will avoid repeats.
Been a long day so off to chill out to some bland telly.

M list - I've now got to the stage of having crossed off, to the best of my ability, the expired items. There are a lot of new items to add. Or maybe there will be - it depends on what ends up making it to the list (the outcome of my checks of competitor prices, where applicable, which I have yet to do).
:eek:The entire drinks section on Tvs M has expired. Items to be added include the Cadbury chilled sponge puddings - bog standard £1 offer. Also the Yazoo Smoothies are back - sadly on 2 for £2 rather than straight £1 offer but note that not all my M stores were showing the mbuy yet.
Also, maybe, for AvsM:think:, the chilled Yazoo milkshakes (also 50p in M) and also the own label 1L flavoured milks - now safely(?) off mbuy pricing and onto straight £1s in M. The Comfort Fabric Conditioners (3L - 85 washes) - all three versions - on standard £3. However, apparently not in A anymore and therefore now Tvs M? Also one of the M own brands was recently cheaper when it went onto £1 (expired some time ago).
I think it may be quicker going through this, like now, from my memory rather than going through my written notes:rotfl:. I've just spent some time trying to find Old Westminster Cream's new price, written and buried somewhere in my notes - I thought it had gone to £3.61 but wanted to double-check before I put that new (increase of:() price onto the list - don't want false information on there;) - eventually, having failed to find it, I checked on msm and, yes indeed, it is £3.61 so my memory was right all along. May as well just rely on my memory:rotfl:. I'm good at this! Anyway, I will have to put the new items, whatever they may turn out to be, onto the list later today(:eek: today! I know! Today...)
It'll get done at some point, possibly morning, probably afternoon onwards today, so that I can go to M again tomorrow:eek: for another update (of, I hope, fairly little). So, for now, M list is 'usable as far as it goes' (assuming anything ever works from it:rotfl:) - and "as far as it goes" meaning new items still to be added.
Goodbye again for now!:A:D:wave:0 -

Just checked emails and appears many items from t direct are out of stock.
will look at it fresh tomorrow and find a company that doesn't have everything out of stock. Who are others using to find url to compare?

I've said to a dear friend tonight if I could bottle him and feed everyone a spoonful of him I would.
He's a walking, talking reality check
He often makes me wonder if our emotions are worth what they put us throughMaybe that way of rolling is the future?
Hope I don't set Savvy off :eek:0 -
