    But would it actually work under the new system, that's the big question - would Mr T see the Morrisons offer

    Unless someone is brave enough, has sufficient MOCs, and loves these ghastly pizzas enough to try it out - 4 pizza and 10 random own brands, fruit and veg - making sure you spend enough not to go into a negative balance situation ....
    not sure if you mean to get 14 just in case but still only 10 different items needed (1 comparable branded)

    Morning everyone

    For anyone still enjoying the NCG soup - it will be back up to full price at T's tomorrow but it's down to £1 at Morries, so free again until 25 Oct. Says on the back that you can freeze it for 1 mth.

    Is anyone else having trouble sourcing the Chicken & Black Pepper? Seems to be OOS everywhere.

    yes slightly OTT - allowing for some items just to never appear on lists but even so 12 items is enough of a buffer zone :)

    check your emails this morning from Groupon - they have sent me three lots of codes for 10%, 20% and 30% off local deals - ends Wednesday.

    I am not sure what the difference is or if you are supposed to try all three codes until you find one that takes?

    but there might be some ideas for half term activities eg

    Zip Wire Ride for One or Two with National Dive Centre (Up to 53% Off)

    £9.50 for one, £18 for 2 :)

    Good morning all!
    The walking dead had a nice start of the season yesterday. I quite enjoyed new mix of the past and present happening.
    Had a row again with my daughter this morning. She's 12 yo teenager. I miss that nice, little girl she used to be! She said she would never (ever!) do her homework again, she would eat chocolate instead of packed lunch at school, and she hates (!) living here. She left with a big bang with the front door.
    Any suggestions where I can get some sort of psychiatrist or tips for communicating with teens?..

    Sorry but this is the world of a mother of a teenage girl. No matter what you do you will be wrong. My daughter is 29 and its only in the last year since she got her own home and got married that she has grown up. Its a long road im afraid!

    In A I often will get 11 or more items to be sure - can be quite easy on a more varied shop where for instance there are 4 flavours of pop in a glitch.

    You just never know when something will not appear

    I never get sweets as fillers - usually it is a single onion, carrot, parsnip, banana, mushroom, SP chopped tomatoes, SP pasata etc. Much healthier, little risk of big price differences and usable for quick meals. But I will try the self weigh trick too.

    same here, eldest married last year and only now she has a baby herself does she see things in perspective.......a long haul I'm afraid but so worth it.

    haven't shopped @T much, wondering what items don't appear (don't mean - not comparing as expected)

    one of the pros - now own label whoopsies can be included in a TBG shop
