Right I'd better go and do something productive

We have eldest child home briefly today :j - she came this morning and has now gone to Manchester to meet friends but is here tonight - her birthday presents are still on the table.

Her engagement ring is very dainty and came from Hatton Gardens :eek: - she insisted I try it on but as I said it got stuck, dumpy fat fingers and we had to ease it off under the tap - I was in floods of tears about it being stuck.

( I think my hormones must be all to kilter again as I've been sobbing all week for very little reason)

Then even better eldest son and Gf arrived as they were close by :j

Not seen any of them sInce just after Christmas. Eldest son is doing a course down south, another week to go and then he is doing a week in Nuneaton for a week

I have morphed into my own mother now - I finally understand now why she also got very over excited when we used to visit especially when we had all of our gang with us :rotfl:
I message or text or phone all of my brood numerous times a week but mostly very briefly, nothing makes my heart sing more than actually having them home especially when the house is full :j

The situation

There are 5 houses in five different colors.
In each house lives a person with a different nationality.
These five owners drink a certain type of beverage, smoke a certain brand of cigar and keep a certain pet.
No owners have the same pet, smoke the same brand of cigar or drink the same beverage.
The question is: Who owns the fish?

Hints

the Brit lives in the red house
the Swede keeps dogs as pets
the Dane drinks tea
the green house is on the left of the white house
the green house's owner drinks coffee
the person who smokes Pall Mall rears birds
the owner of the yellow house smokes Dunhill
the man living in the center house drinks milk
the Norwegian lives in the first house
the man who smokes blends lives next to the one who keeps cats
the man who keeps horses lives next to the man who smokes Dunhill
the owner who smokes BlueMaster drinks beer
the German smokes Prince
the Norwegian lives next to the blue house
the man who smokes blend has a neighbor who drinks water

No cheating:rotfl::rotfl:

That's the difference back for me off the Surf:T. Just got a £4.50-odd womble. And, it's the comp. vs Morries that has done it:D.

From an £80 shop. Normally, with the more expensive shops, either they buy stuff that is well cheaper in A and end up with 'saving' £15 or something daft (note the quotations;)) or, less often I think, they have stuff that is roughly same price, perhaps buy an item that's too cheap and an item that's more expensive but they offset each other and you get 10% of their comparable bill - usually about half the shopping so it's about £4 from £80 shops. Perhaps £3 odd - they usually buy more r'backs:(. So, the bigger shops are either a complete fail or they give something decent.

This one - it's from four days ago (only found today of course), so will be on the Monday data I think, is helped by this:

M comp. (Monday data)
1x Persil Non-Bio Washing Capsules 35 Wash (35S) £10.00 £6.00:T

That's some v.expensive capsules at £6!:rotfl: Paying £10 for 36 is... over 28.5p per wash!:eek::eek: Not sure we have the same 10p per wash guide price there, but even £6 Morries price (according to the APG - I would not have a clue about such expensive priced items in M:rotfl:) is over 17p per wash!

They bought so 'badly' on the rest of their shop though that, even with that, the comp. still ended up cheaper at A:(. Just not by 10%. So, it's not even a 10% off M's prices, but that minus the over £2.50:(:( that A was cheaper.

They paid £1.50 for a small pack of veg:rotfl:.

1x Birds Eye 4 Steamfresh Family Favourite Vegetable Mix (540G) £1.50 £1.00

Again, despite those two, A still cheaper overall:mad:. How much better the PG would have been if only not 10% cheaper items had been bought:eek: - I won't even work it out!:rotfl: - and making a 'saving' here by getting the A mbuy - but still paying over my 84p price guide. And even that, really, should be 75p as £1.50 prices have been seen on 4 packs elsewhere and, even then, they shouldn't be BE but should be £1.20 packs of own brand elsewhere, so the guide really should be 60p:p rather than the expensive £1 price that they can only get in A (without checking the APG) at present by buying at least two and paying, IMO, at least 80p over the odds in total just on that one item - you can really save by coming off the brands - or by getting brands only when glitched - the amount of own brand cereal in my cupboard is just how long we've gone without a cereals glitch:( - anyway, back to the point, I don't like when they get these at £1 (much prefer £1.68 vs £1.00 or, even £1.68 vs 84p if they hit that rare time when they are 84p at a rival supermarket):

2x Birds Eye 2 Crispy Chicken (170G) £2.00 £2.00

Fortunately, M is straight £1 at present. It's probably okay about half the time. Oh well, at least, for them, they saved 68p by not getting at £1.68 price - save 68p on your Chicken Grills and overpay by £4:eek: on your washing capsules!:rotfl::rotfl:

It's definitely how the supermarkets like us to shop - and their various offers are set up in that way, to get us overpaying on some stuff (or getting more than we needed), after we only popped in intending to get their special offer.

I was in Poundland the other day - fortunately I resisted much of the stuff but I really could spend thousands of pounds in Poundland! After all, you never get ripped off by Poundland do you? Everything's £1 - it's so cheap!:rotfl: And Aldi yesterday - I popped along, just as one of the As was nearby and I thought I'd get a receipt or two from there - but turned out that store there were none at all:( - but I went to Aldi, to see if there were still any 49p sprouts - it seems Aldi do not sell frozen sprouts anymore:( - but ended up buying a box of cereal and some Licquorice Allsorts at 49p. So, in total, instead of 49p for some sprouts, I came out with two items I never went in for in the first place:mad::(:rotfl:. Oh well, we will eventually use them - and I would have got them at some point in the future anyway. I must stop with Aldi - I've done that before - went in for the Super6 and got a couple of other items as well! (Even though they are 'best' price compared to elsewhere at the time, so not like I am actually overpaying.) Though usually I just get one of the one item from the Super6 that is good price:money:!
(The idea is to go in, get just that, pay for that and then leave:money::money:. How often does that not happen though?)

2x ASDA Butcher's Selection British Chicken Breast Fillet Portions (500G) £6.67 £8.24:(

This has been back in M for over a week and a half, although M's version is 450g at 50p and would work out roughly the same as the N/A:

1x ASDA Grower's Selection Diced Carrots & Swede (500G) £0.50 N/A

I can see how they've 'missed' it - don't make defences for them Savvy!:( - as it had not, certainly not last week, made it into some M stores yet.

However, they mixed up their shop as it should be against Sains:

1x ASDA Grower's Selection Diced Carrots & Swede (500G) £0.50 £0.50

Should really only be bought by us when whoopsied:question:.

Vs M
1x Lenor Fabric Conditioner Spring Awakening 44 Washes (1.1LTR) £1.75 N/A:j

No good us buying it though:rotfl:.

Full price vs full price at M:(.
1x Flora Light Spread (500G) £1.70 £1.70

And there's a £1 price for Sains!

And the obligatory £1 yogurt:(, bought the wrong pack of yogurts again!

1x Muller Light Greek Coconut Vanilla Yogurt (4X120G) £1.00 £2.50

That one is very expensive on the comp. and costs me quite dearly! Sold (to them) for £1 but sold by A, after APG, for £2.25!:eek::(:(

Persil capsules sold to them for £10:D but sold for £5.40 via the APG:D:D but has to be taken, sadly, along with other items, like the yogurts, now sold for much more than what they paid:(. Result - just the difference and not quite 10% on that one item and may as well not have bought anything else in the shop except 6 different useless (N/A) fillers and a further one that lost a few pence. In fact, it would have been better if they'd bought the capsules (at £10) plus 7 N/A items. Or, for them, better if they'd gone to Morrisons for the capsules and the veg. and bought, in A, much of everything else they bought in A! Or they may have bought the capsules and veg., plus only one pack of Birds Eye Crispy Chicken, in M and then not paid the unnecessary £1 more for buying a further pack that they might not have really needed! Although, it's swings and roundabouts on that really as they'd then have probably bought another pack some time later when they ran out, so would have bought it although maybe not just now!

Was really hoping to find a 4 pack of Carling cider in my local A as it's £4.50 vs £3.00 in M and I have a voucher for a free pack from iPint - but they didn't have any, boo!

the 4 packs are RTC to £3 in my A so potential CC/HD V M. Do we know if they're picking up morries price..
I'm compiling a CC for Mon vM so might put some in to test. Trouble is I'm near to APG limit so need to be careful.

Actually I did wrong on my shop the other day when the Blackjacks had gone to full price due to the Shootz being taken out of the offer ten minutes before my shop. I couldn't buy 5x Blackjacks at £1 as not only would that be paying 65p too much - I did think about it though as an option as 65p is not 'that much' - but it would then double-lose (had they been bought on that shop) by taking away from the voucher due to M's then more expensive price for 5. Instead of a £1 vs £1 item, if I'd wanted more on the voucher back, I should have got 2xTic Tac Fresh Mint and a wine gums pack for 3 for £1. That would have been a £1.20 vs 92p comp. back, I hope, and given more than the 10p:( on the £1 vs £1 item that I replaced the sweets with instead. Just don't think do we, at the time, that some other replacement might be better and just went for the obvious £1 straight replacement instead. However, the resultant price for a couple of small packs of Tic Tacs (as opposed to much larger SP Clear Mints bag) and a Wine Gums (much bigger bag in Aldi for 55p) would have been I imagine quite expensive per item on the low amount you get - but, if we're just using vouchers and getting vouchers back, and not really paying much real cash at any time anywhere, purely in terms of amount of voucher back it may have been better. But then I could have got an extra womble and made up more of the difference that I 'lost' by buying the £1 item (that was probably actually better 'value' at 90p than a pack of Wine Gums and small mints containers of not much total amount of product would have been at - well, work it out;) - about 62p all in).
