I made an attempt to buy some things from Sains. earlier. I have £15.01 in Nectar points (forget about the penny), so that every shop from now on is either exactly £2.50 or £5 so that I avoid paying them a single penny. Such an expensive store though:mad:. (Last time, I had some Fruit-tella sweets on Sains offer price only for them to be well overpaid for:(.) I would have ended up overpaying anyway, with a 50p Green Giant Sweetcorn pack:eek: (well expensive - SP tins would be nearly twice as much for 15p lower cost) and Basics Chicken Steaks at £1.20. Today Mr S seemed to be meanies with only 5 apples in their 80p Basics packs. So, after thinking about it for a minute or so, I decided not to get anything at all (maybe lower number of apples during the weekend shopping periods?). No need to buy anything right away. I really would have ended up with very little for my points.

I'm now waiting for the apples to sell out and be replaced by packs later that contain more apples. I noticed the store now had red "regular price" labels on quite a few items - ah, the old red colour that people more generally associate with an offer:D - all of which were, for me, at well expensive cost for what amount they were. Tomatoes tin for 30p that is on cheaper offer elsewhere on an equivalent line in another supermarket that I imagine Sains wouldn't accept was equivalent:rotfl:. A very small small carton of long life milk. As if regular prices are any good. As they seem to me to be the prices that they can make a profit on, and therefore sustain, precisely because they are regular prices, they are therefore the very type of price to avoid! I don't want regular prices, that will therefore be expensive enough for them to make money on (otherwise they would not be able to keep them at those prices) - I want irregular prices instead, as they are more often far better! (Why pay merely "regular", and therefore bog-standard, normal prices? Yuck! Horrible, distasteful, run-of-the-mill boring regular prices. I want something out of the ordinary, more exciting and unusual.) Please can I have some irregular prices Sainsbury's? Thank you very much!

I guess I like responding to things in an unexpected way (a way that they don't expect). I suspect most people (although not the minority subsection of the UK population that uses this thread) will assume that "regular" means good. From that POV, therefore, regular prices are good for the store as most people will respond positively and it's the way most people respond that is the important thing to consider.

I abandoned the shop and will do one (probably for exact £2.50) at some later point whenever they have better value items to buy (if such an occurrence should ever arise:mad::rotfl:). So, it's now onto the teeth-pulling exercise, of trying to squeeze as much as possible out of them, with them seemingly kicking and screaming, but me having to overpay each time on at least something (grrr....!!), but now with S rather than with T.

And, I've no problem from my POV - I don't mind abandoning shops if need be as I am within walking distance from S:D.

For once the NE Coven had lovely weather today, but god I am aching, from working in the garden, first good day in there this year,

Rhos I feel very responsible for your absence.
I jumped on the band wagon to organise crockery for your daughter's wedding. But I know that the crockery was the smallest of small bit of the wedding and organising the catering etc was a huge factor in the whole thing.
I just want to say that if you have found that you needed to cancel the wedding after all nobody ywil think any different of you. I saw an opportunity to help but if circumstances see different then so be it.
We miss you and we don't want you to vanish from our thread.
I hope your health is OK and if I am right come and join us it really doesn't matter xx

Not going to quote you dil, but I am sure that you had the best intentions, and Rhos will know that, and everything you say is right, just want to know she is okay.

Don't be daft. No one is responsible for Rhosys absence. Someone said she was ill with rheumatic fever? If that's the case then she will be recovering and it can knock you out from the little I know. She will come back when she's ready. And she's been around long enough to know if any wedding plans have changed, no one here would take issue. So stop worrying.

Your idea was a great one and you wanted to give something back after everyone made your fundraising efforts such a success. Everyone enjoyed hunting the China (except me ) so you have nothing to worry about or apologise for.

Rhosy will return when she's well enough

I'm sure if she's reading she knows.

Sometimes folk just disappear for a while. Can be illness, tragedy, real life busy ness or a million other reasons.

Anyway I hope everyone had a little bit of sunshine today. We had more than our fair share here I've had a wonderful day. I have a house full as its half term and we have extras (all screened for germs before entering) So we had breakfast on the beach this morning and stayed there until lunchtime. Came home and pottered in the garden all afternoon. HUGE BBQ for dinner and a fire this evening. The only time I've been in the house today is to use the loo. I've properly caught the sun as well. The younger people left earlier to go clubbing. Doesn't really get much better
