    Tweets, get well soon x

    Rose, exciting times ahead! x

    Been to S for petrol (bonus points now due for 2 visits) and HB for teabags - they have Typhoo sacks of 440 for £3.99 if my memory serves, but they were all loose by the feel of the sack, so I got 300 one-cup Typhoo for £2.49 as these are packed in foil in 50s inside the box.

    I am in a trough of despair. I can get internet on the iPad but usually I am working on the main computer in the afternoon.

    I can type faster with a keyboard on the main computer.

    Also on the iPad auto correct takes over so it takes longer to type anything -you need to always go back and correct the gooblygook that auto correct things you want to really wanted to say.

    I did a check and we still have 0.56 Mbps but because it's rained all day nothing is opening on the main computer :mad:

    We looked in a metro in Liverpool but no pies :(

    I was told they are reducing stuff during the day and leaving it on the shelves until about 5 o' clock when it is put in the usual whoopsie section.

    It is quite possibly scattered about bit its a small store so not a lot of places to hide it.
    Maybe it all goes to the bigger store now.
    Not that the whoopsies were ever much good anyway except on a Sunday afternoon

    19.4p off £1 so not too bad, almost 20%

    Admittedly I wouldn't have bothered if I didn't buy these every month or so to go with cheese & crackers.

    Afternoon! I can't remember who asked, but yes you can find/use Higgidy vouchers in expresses/metros. I found some chicken, ham and leek pies in a Ts/petrol station for £3.70 :)

    Been for my first pies today.

    I got all 5 beef and Stilton ones in my local. And like zippy I too was blessed with double coupons.

    I didn't think they would be in the petrol station but I pass a few on my journeys tomorrow and Friday so hopefully I will be able to liberate some more.

    Guess what's for dinner tonight :rotfl:
