Just checked and still have the £20 off showing on mine so here's hoping.

My grandchildren have just discovered Nutella. A teeny taste first, then the 6 year old promptly set about making some toast on which to spread it. The 4 year old, however, clutched the jar very tightly and demanded a spoon!

I can't believe I only discovered this last year:( ive been missing out all these years. I must admit to attacking the jar with a spoon when I'm in one of those "I really need chocolate" moments :0

Very small glitch

Is the mbuy ending today I wonder? Would be much better had the other places been on 2 for £1.50. I think that is very small as you say. Would probably be much better getting some RTC Hallowe'en bags if any can be found (there are still some other ones in M). These small tubes are really expensive. No wonder they're popular:rotfl:. Would be much better (unless you are paying through the nose in wombles) to get Dominion Fruit Pastilles - I can spot no difference I'm sure - in Aldi at 49p. Big 230g bags.

:rotfl:I've just noticed I've called them "small" but they've called them "giant"! Well, not for me: "giant", as in a pouch, would be 300g rather than 150g. These, as far as I'm concerned, are small amount of product (who knows if the tube itself is included within that weight?).

I'm sure there's some other 'anomaly' in M (by which I mean no good as it's not going to produce a glitch) that I've forgotten about, but I'm sure I'll come across it again later when I get back here.

For instance my Amazon book order is another ongoing saga

I ordered 3 books on Friday to use up my Amazon £10 code (for buying a £40 gift card in early September) and my order was delivered to Warrington very early on Saturday morning but that's the point where it got stuck due to "adverse conditions".

The original delivery date was Monday. By Tuesday afternoon still no updates on the website so I went onto Amazon and I arranged for a call back.

The girl said they would cancel the original order and re order as everything was still in stock and to expect an email from her to confirm this.

The email did not arrive straight away but about 8 oclock she rung again to say one book was actually out of stock so she was issuing a refund for it.

The other 2 were instock and delivery was due today.
I was not holding out much hope for this. It did though show as being at the distribution centre early this morning, Warrington again and its showing as being on the van and out for delivery. Needless to say it will arrive tomorrow when I am out.

Its always the same whatever I order it ends up being a long convoluted process

We're off to see Spectre tonight - must be the last people around to do so. I've been trying for ages to think of a way to get cheap tickets, then when I was rootling around in old emails for something else, found my Club Lloyds vouchers so FREEEEEEE :j:money::j

A shocking occurrence in T today. Another 'woman in front' story. The woman in front...the customer in front of me at T bought a 1.5Kg bag of McCains frozen chips. Probably at T's expensive offer price of £2. If only she had picked the Chunky Cut instead of the Straight Cut and had chosen 1Kg instead of 1.5Kg, she may well have then paid much less. Chunky Cut 1Kg 96p in M. So, buying two of those - T shelf price of £2.60 each! - might have got 500g more product and paid 8p less than what she paid. At £2.60 x2 vs M at a total of £1.92 would have contributed over £3 to a discount! After she'd paid, I saw her receipt come out - she had still managed to pick up branded items that were 42p more expensive in total than somewhere else:rotfl:. So, even then, T's shelf price on her brands was too expensive. She doubtless slashed it down by some other purchase in her basket. And I suspect it just means the £2:eek: McCains - I thought "how expensive is this going to be?" before I saw it scanned - and it turned out £2:eek:. - was the same £2 elsewhere but her expensive branded loo rolls were probably just 42p cheaper elsewhere. Still way expensive - and, of course, she's, shockingly, paid £2 for the McCains chips:wall: instead of my price of cheaper for more! Or even less for a much cheaper price by weight. I acknowledge the Chunky Cut may be bigger chips and see people consuming more (if they aren't careful) - however the 500g extra would surely have made up for that and would, on M's price, have been 8p less than what she paid in total. Or she could have just got 1Kg of chips, if she just really needed that, rather than getting a bigger pack (of perhaps 500g more than she needed) because of some 'offer' price on it on the store that she was in, that is still much worse than a price (by weight) on the same brand elsewhere.

Part 2 of saga

We enter allotments and the teacher says look children these are cabbages for dinner ....
Mmmm maybe they are Brussels sprouts I say ..

..potatoes are on ground rotting because it's too cold for them to grow ....mmmmm

Then children look we have pea pods here mmmm think they are broad beans ......
And more Brussels sprouts ...mmmm no they are cabbages ....
Look children black berries mmmm raspberries but close ....
Look Guy Fawks in the allotments ....no they are scare crows
But the scare crow does have a Halloween mask on
Puzzled and bewildered by the sweet corn and does Grandma know what they are sticking out of ground ...mmmmm yes they are leeks by this time I am just wondering what would have happened if us oldies weren't there to keep an eye on them
Memo do not eat the vegetable soup the teacher is planning on them all making next week
But all said and done a very enjoyable afternoon
And I didn't half impress my dgd that her teacher had to ask her Grandma the answers ....yes a really nice afternoon ....so am off to eat my tea

Well done..I havent actually paid to see a film now for almost 4 years...I usually go with SSF or something similar but I want to see the Alan Bennet film with Dame Maggie in at the weekend so I have rooted out our LLOYDS vouchers too.
