    I really dislike en-suites except as a guest in other people's homes and in hotels, obviously.

    At home, I can think of nothing so unromantic as having to listen to one's OH in an en-suite. If I were to build a new house, I'd supply all guest rooms with en-suite facilities and have a luxury bathroom situated some distance from the master bedroom!
    Not just me then.

    Most people have a barbecue and an inside toilet.

    I grew up eating inside and pooing outside. Progress I suppose.

    But does anyone remember which was the best way to buy the Coke

    I saw a post yesterday or day before where I think it was being bought in sainsbury for a brand match and coupons were taking the full price off

    Did I dream this or can anyone else remember this

    Tia
    haven't seen the coupons but if it's a price input MOC (last 4 digits of the b/c are -000*), it's most profitable to buy on a price comparison shop where it's the most expensive - looks like S now,
    so BM it is - you need 10 different items, S own are non-comparable, don't buy anything that's more expensive in A

    OK... so here's a question....and it's not intended to inflame but more to find out.....and perhaps get a bit of conversation and good banter on the thread.....

    if you have 50 bottles of coke...do you drink them quicker than if you had a lesser amount,just because they are there?

    I know when we have excesses of things that's usually the case...when it s rice we seem to have an extra pack just because we can....same with the odd bottle of wine and certainly in the days of penny chocs we always had a box open.

    So aside from those who glitch to sell on....what do you do with your stashes and how long does it take to use them up...do you have more of something simply because.....

    open to all.....

    I had to do a muggle shop for easter eggs earlier but can't check until just after 4 if anything glitched, I got twirl, mars and something else, don't know if they were glitching - did try to have a quick check on here this morning, but too far out of the loop and got caught up reading about nerf's little one's poos :rotfl:

    :wave: afternoon all, hope all is well, I have been lurking in another part of the forum :eek: trying to find new ways of sorting out the debts. I have come to the realisation that there isn't much in life I want, but I would really like to own my own house one day. It's difficult to imagine when I rent and have loads of debts, but if I don't do it soon I will be too old to take on a mortgage and I have seen so many people on here do amazingly well with their finances, so I'm going to try my best (though the muggle shopping isn't going to help!). Sorry for the waffle

    :wave:

    When I met Mr monkey he had a fair few debts that were getting him down, he couldn't see the end of the tunnel. 2 years later he was debt free and we began saving for our new home.
    The advice I would give would be
    . Don't look at the debt as a whole
    . Make a list of what you owe where
    . Look at the worst one for interest first
    . Either chip away at that increasing your payment when and where you can or switch to a lower rate...(ie I put my next account xmas sale spend on a 0% interest cc and pay that off instead of monthly payments+ interest to next themselves)
    . When that's done work on the next worst offender
    . It will take time but you will get there and cross them all off one by one:)

    The moc looked to me like it would take off £1.90 and in S/W it does. Someone said it takes off £2.05 in T though so they must have re-programmed it

    I've used all of mine in S bar one which i used to buy coke zero and another promo bottle of coke in W. It cost £2 in total but my 10% card took it down to £1.62 and the moc took off £1.90 :money:
