    So much has happened today

    I'll start with the best bit

    Dad is coming home on the 23rd February :j:j:j

    So I need to organise myself to leave here & stay there

    So firstly have to buy train tickets - so have doubled up my CC vouchers on Redspotted hanky for free train fare :T

    Requests are coming in thick & fast from Mum.

    Have to source single sheets, disposable bed pads, slippers that stay on (so far today....)

    here I need Fourp to learn survival skills like going to shops & purchasing essentials like cat food & milk.

    :):):)

    even though it's on 38p 'price crunch' offer since M started that campaign and supposed to be at that until May, but, if you want to lose a bit on your APG, then you know what you can do;).

    How would you lose ?

    They've now got a price of 50p for the Broccoli at M:(

    Glad I got in with the Broccoli yesterday on my shop:rotfl:. That really really was done at the precise right time, now even more so that it already was before!

    Bought last 6 pint milk in the store.
    Got glitched Haribo (that couldn't have been done a day earlier).
    Got Persil on the last shop before the offer ends in M whilst the Haribo was still glitching (I assume they are off anyway).
    Got just 8 items (thanks to two different Haribos) and got a SP Fishfingers that only compares at 60p against M!
    Got the Broccoli that's now returning M 50p.

    I needed to go that day:rotfl:.

    I doubt I could still have got the Haribos today so I was still absolutely shopping on the right date there:D!

    And you've done right too - shopping and checking before the price collection updated!:T

    But it's now - actually it's :o:o from me as I notice the receipt is 29/01/16:rotfl::rotfl:. Thanks for posting - I wouldn't have checked that without:eek::eek:. So, a false alarm - sorry folks - cancel it - the Broccoli is most likely okay:T:cool:.

    But not if you're wanting to lose anything:rotfl:.

    Well there's a miracle.........COS have just processed my Optiwell receipt that I'd totally forgotten about. I found it languishing in the bottom of my handbag in a crumpled state this morning.

    As I was in a rush and had only one pair of hands - and it was a long one, I decided to dampen the worktop and stretch it out to stay flat.


    However it got too wet so I held it over the hot plate to dry off and half of it immediately turned black:rotfl:

    Getting to work on time paled into insignificance against losing £1.81 on COS:rotfl:

    Anyway it's gone through.....but don't try it at home folks:rotfl:
