Everybody Look! Intriguing Tiny Elves!

Evening

Have read with interest about the schools over the last few pages. I have to confess, being brought up north of the wall that the system wasn't so complicated in my time I still have no handle on the significance or importance of grammar/comprehensive/academies. I went to secondary school in the early 80s and your parents chose a school and you went there. I don't think there were entry exams, or any sort of gradings.
There again there was no reception class for primary age kids in Scotland either so it still threw me as a mother enrolling kids for school south of the wall.

interesting reading

There are comparisons back on the Dr Oetker pizzas vs £1.50 at Sains:

2x Dr Oetker Pepperoni & Salame Ristorante Pizza (320GR) £5.00 £3.00

Don't get too excited though:D - that is two paid for at full £2.50 each - no mbuy for them on the receipt. However, they are surely going back to mbuy at some stage and need to be caught at the right time. I hope this is not a "[Strike]£2.50[/Strike] £1.49" situation next time in A.

They keep buying £1 Walkers crisps:(. If you bought five packs of those to get the equivalent of a box of 30, it would be a total cost of £5:eek:. It's way beyond Elite pricing.

1x Walkers Roast Chicken Crisps (6X25G) £1.00 £1.50

Some mbuys from A which did lose out. And this is just standard 9 pack at usual expensive £1 offer price:laugh::
1x Twix Fingers (207G) £1.68 £1.00

However, this really helped make Sains cheaper:D - if only by a few pence:(: but result was another over £5 back!:T:money::j:beer:

2.14x ASDA Butcher's Selection Lamb Leg Bone In Joint (Typically 2.2 kg) (PER KG) £13.86 £10.70:T

Well, there we are: that's a surprise! The best receipt of the bunch was the one with the mbuys that I thought would probably make it lose overall but it turns out to have that lamb about £3 cheaper. The comparable bills are over £50, and it results in giving 10% of that amount: which is a bit over £5!

Still waiting for my first double figures womble:rotfl:. Best I've ever had so far was a £9.78 probably a couple of years ago.

Always buy Dr O in the dearer shops when the vouchers are still circulating (not many voucher packs left though)

Love these watercolour animal cushions. Could do with a few more, where did you see them please.

A complete:A paid me a surprise visit bearing cream cakes, flowers and a mini tree:T N certainly knows knows how to put a smile on a girls face:)

My eyesight has taken a funny turn so am not really lurking at the moment as finding reading hard. Dr still puts it down to exhaustion and stress so am resting up as much as possible until the big day. Please excuse any badly typed messages as can't really see what I am doing.

Just catching up after a fun filled evening with our neighbours. My face hurts from laughing so much.
Another grammar school girl here. The same school as Geri Halliwell attended, although not at the same time. Anyone else go to the same school as someone famous?

I went to the same convent school as Denise Van Outen but not at the same time :rotfl: She was in my sisters class. But Denise left in year 3 I think, to go to some drama school.

i missed this this morning I'm not catching up more than a few pages back just now.
My VT original is currently living on the floor awaiting my shelves being put back up after the pre Christmas paint. I spent so much time deciding on a home for it without realising it's perfectly at home where it is where I can see it and it really doesn't need to be anywhere else. I'll take a photo of it when it's back against the clean wall but it's where I spend the most time and I'm looking forward to it being back in its old temporary permanent home.
