    I am just checking in :D

    Been as far as Sainsbobs and got the Shopotize items and the TCB crisps and checked all of my nectar cards for new till spits.

    I got 2 bonus points till spits for different versions of sweet chilli sauce that Oh likes but looking at mys it says it is cheaper in Aldi - can't say I've seen it though.
    It also says its 50p for Morrisons own brand - Savvy is that correct?
    I am so used to mys telling me Lies

    Also got one for mandarin cheesecake which I had previously on mycoupons and peas which we got a while back on a day when we could not get to aldi - so sainsbobs is picking up in previous purchases from only a month back

    Also a strange one - it said spend £60 between certain dates and automatically get 240 points via a till spit - accumulative spend so you could spend £20 on 3 shops or £60 in just one and your till spit would appear whenever you reach the target

    Loaded my Shopotize receipts and Ohs had over £5 in it so that was a nice bonus.

    Cheese is something I need to think about as well.

    I've been getting aldi extra strong cheddar for £1.55 for 350g which went up to £1.59 in November.

    And then I found in Morrisons Lake District cheese 350g for £1.55 :j
    So I got a small stash but I am now on the last pack

    Wish I'd got more now as mys says its now £2.50 :( Or 2 for £4
    So it looks like its back to aldi

  • Managed to get travel insurance for my cruise in May. Took a while as can't do it online as mitrofanoff never shows, plus I've had so much stuff infection wise I'd just rather speak to a human. Anyway, considering everything I've had wrong with me, DS dislocated knee problems and DD with her anxiety, I'm pretty pleased with £58 for a weeks cruise. :)

    Am really happy, with everything thats gone on I'd kind of got to the point where I didn't think it was going to happen. Something to look forward to now. :T

    Thats a very good price. I paid exactly the same for august cruise as my yearly insurance didn't cover cruises. Just done a new yearly insurance and including cruises it was £84. Steep as was only paying £40 before but figured just one cruise makes it worth while.
    I must put in for some leave when TM is around. Booked holiday then builders say they want to complete on house before I go away. Not a chance as 12 days time and not seen sight of a contract, done walk around or had queries answered. if I get contract before I leave they can do walk around and exchange and complete the day after I get home.
    Not me who is running 5 months late:eek:

    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    May the odds be ever in your favour;)

    Ta for this - home bargains is one of those places I have no self control in and I always end up buying things I never went in for :)
