    I've got myself a right job on my hands:(

    I've decided to join the 21st century and put all my contacts into my work phone from a very well worn and used work address book. It seems like I've been on ages and I'm only up to the letter C.

    If I get burgled tonight and they nick my work phone there'll be hell on:o:rotfl:

    From a womble , Tesco/ Morries
    1x
    BASSETTS JELLY BABIES 460G
    £4.00
    n/a £3.00 £1.96

    :(Not happy with that one as they are 75p RTC in M.
    Consensus from two other stores seemed to be that they were £1.50, however one store did have 75p price showing - maybe it was store-specific at that price but in any event T is more expensive than buying them in M at £1.50 would be. I put them onto my M list at 75p as you'd be buying them in M and either you'd have £1.50 SELs and they'd scan at 75p or they'd be £1.50 and nothing lost off what is on the SEL. Either way, you would not end up paying more like you would on this shopping in T! It may be that they were 75p/£1.50 in M on Wednesday and, having failed to clear them at 75p, they've now more than doubled them in price. However, in that case, buying in M just before New Year would be cheaper than Tvs M now is.

    However if M are 75p RTC, which T don't match, at least it is 'better' that T is comparing against £1.96 rather than returning M N/A due to the price being RTC. In that case, if M is 75p RTC, T are still ripping you off though compared to what buying them in M at the RTC price there would be.

    Quick question. My father in law is terminally with Cancer and my mother in law is in a care home very ill with dementia. They have both signed a DNR and for the 2nd time the hospital lost my FIL'S when he was in last week. Apparently you are not allowed to make a copy so we are not sure if he needs to make another. Anyone any idea? My husband and bil have power of attorney that will become active in about 3 weeks but until then we are not sure what to do.

    Why three weeks? Both F-i-l and m-il needs to have someone with enduring power of attorney now. assume the later now longer has her faculties but does the former?
    I think if its not done when they are fully aware them it has to go through the court and it is much more long winded???
    Even so 3 weeks seems a very long time.
    With my dad the solicitor just came along to the care home and had a chat with him on his own, this was just after he had decided to stay in and the solicitor was just making sure he was fully aware and not under any duress so it was straight forwArd and then everyone signed the paperwork and I had POa.
    The cheque book could be signed by either myself or my dad but I always took cheques in for him to sign and it was only the last 2 months that I was doing his care home cheques.

    Evening all.
    For the people that got Tassimos for xmas (or already have them) they are on again for £3 in Sainsburgs.

    http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/tassimo-pods-3-00-sainsburys-2366221

    It's not all the flavours sadly I went in to use my conditional spend but ended up not getting any as the costa lattes DD2 likes are £5 :eek: and the Cadbury Hot Chocs are £4. :(

    They must have swapped round the ones on offer from last time...
