    I don't "worry" - if they want to pay high prices and sometimes help my wombles, good luck on them!:rotfl:

    I think that's fine enough with your mum - I agree, if she wants it, she can have it. Mums are important. And it can offset by glitches - though I still feel in a way its putting money back where it came from rather than... taking it all out:D - I sometimes have to shop and buy "expensive" everyday items (not every day though:laugh:) and then moan about how much they cost! Sometimes I have to do shops with not enough items like that, and then lose odd 10%s on the odd few items here and there as just more convenient way to spend a smaller womble.

    I thought you meant the Granola for a moment, but I understand you're referring to the "Just Right". On Granola, lots of the brands are very expensive - we keep being told by BBC ONE's Eat Well for Less and, invariably, they have people at least one of the family of whom likes to have the expensive branded granola packs - they usually replace it with a Value version and everyone still thinks it's the brand! It's one of the money-wasters for many people in my view. Amazing how many people can't tell when something is different or when they haven't changed it at all from one they've always had for 20 years and they still think it's been swapped for the value one (when it hasn't been). As to the cereal though, :rotfl:are you sure you can't replace it or sneak a cheaper one into the Kellogg's box next time just to see if she notices it? Obviously don't feed her anything if she has an allergy or anything, but that's a good money tip for people who always refuse to eat cereal unless it is some expensive brand.


    Savvs - have a look at the Lidl cereals next time. Not the cheap rubbish ones but the slightly less cheap but still cheap good quality ones. In particular the Jordan's clone & the expensive mueslis clones.


    About £1.49-£1.69 vs competitors +50-100%.


    More to the point, they are good quality & taste delicious, as you'd expect from German breakfast buyers back @ HQ.

    That's alright - I thought you were on about this for a moment...

    Even 'worse', or 'better'. It depends on your taste.

    :huh:"Exclusive official video"? What's this "office" that's doing the video then?

    Who is the "official" here? As if it were a policeman or something. Official is a person with a government office.

    Hello :wave:

    Thought i'd pop in whilst I've got a few minutes to myself. Been pretty poorly so not been up to much but feel like I'm finally improving :) Hope you've had glitches aplenty and you're all ok x

    I've got a bit fed up with Xmas presents so I'm getting nothing! My choice.


    More truthful to say: I've already had them in the last couple of months. Every time I wanted something, I said it was my Xmas present & my wife did the same.


    We'd rather do pressies properly for the kids but all 3 of them have turned around and said they just want money :)


    Which is easy, I suppose. If boring. So we're adding in a few fun things, but nothing like last year.


    They want money.

    When my kids were at this stage, I used to wrap all sorts of silly things... strange (and everyday) veg and fruit, the most weirdest things I could find...... at least we could laugh at the things!

    :D:D:D
