    Good morning , another glorious one ahead of us again.
    Could I ask for a show of hands for 23rd please and do we want to go for something to eat as I realise it's not as money saving as booth's. We do have a booths but it's out of town the same as the aviary and not easy for emerald and Nellie to get to.

    I don't envy you organising us all, worst than herding cats :rotfl:

    even if its eating a cream cake in the park without having to share it with someone :)


    That takes me back a bit...it used to be my Friday treat when I first started work....I was lucky enough to be only a short walk from a lovely park so come rain or shine I would take a cake and either sit out or in the bandstand regular as clockwork every Friday lunchtime.

    Today though I probably do need to stay around and about...but if it gets sunny this afternoon I may venture out and about whilst DS is at school for his exam.

    Nope no Gregg's sorry mhoc. They are very good there and I think if you asked for egg and chips they would oblige. I'm happy to go to the park I'll do whatever everyone wants.

    I bet you are:eek::rotfl::rotfl::eek::eek:

    Morning :)

    Well the fish has finally updated and is very unlikely to glitch today.

    Hopefully there might be another opportunity for anyone who missed it ( sunshinemummy :) ) if there are any favourable comparisons when the offer ends.

    Typical - I should have got some yesterday:(. However, I would never have had my couple of wombles that have got me back up to over £5 and, to be fair, would not have got back in time to enter them. Nothing interesting from them at all, well not as interesting as Dove Men + Care, Zip Firelighters and everything else:rotfl:. As you say, might be an opportunity at the end of the offer (or else I'm sure there will be something else to buy with the fiver then). Thanks for your invaluable updates during this period.:)

    I don't know whether this could still work even now, as sometimes glitches have been known even though mbuys are showing for some people. If this had been the old system of msm, it might have worked as mbuys still not showing there:(. However, I'm looking at a.com and I can see the mbuys there too, so it does look like it's off to me.

    Just checked my cashback apps from last night. My COS free porridge has gone through but the ones on OHs are still pending - worried because in the midst if uploading there was a long phone call and then I got confused as to what receipt I had to up load to which app on what phone - fingers crossed though ...

    Strangely Oh has Hooopers for £1 cashback on his app - not sure if it disappeared and came back but very annoying as we were in the bigger Morribobs yesterday where it's still supposed to be £1.44 and maybe they had cloudy lemonade

    Shopotize declined my receipt :eek: - a Sainsburys one with 3 items on a 6 item receipt - how very dare they - so I've done that one yet again, had to scan barcodes again as well as the receipt

    And the tickets are a gob smacking price £26 on the gate or £21 in advance so my only hope is to win some - I really really love going to Tatton but paying £52 for 2 of us, don't even think OH is that keen - the MSE side if me says I could buy loads of plants for £52 from B&M 3 for £5 selection or Morrisons cottage garden plants etc ...

    Fingers crossed I can win some :D

    Shop from yesterday to use COS and Slopitize

    7 items on your receipt qualify for comparison Asda Sainsbury's
    0.17x ASDA Grower's Selection Loose Banana (order by number of bananas or select kg) (PER KG) £0.11 N/A
    1x Schwartz Garlic Granules (47G) £1.70 N/A
    1x Giant Strawberry Stripes (1PK) £0.10 £0.10
    1x Haribo Starmix (1PK) £0.10 £0.10
    1x Herta Frankfurters Hot Dogs (350G) £2.00 £1.75
    1x Mattessons Savagers Intense Chorizo Snack (3X25G) £1.69 £1.00
    0.19x ASDA Grower's Selection Loose Banana (order by number of bananas or select kg) (PER KG) £0.13 N/A
    1x Uncle Bens Egg Fried Microwave Rice (250G) £1.78 £1.00
    1x ASDA British Whole Milk (4PT) £0.95 £1.00
    1x I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Light Spread (500G) £1.00 £1.15
    Comparison total (compared products only)

    They've still not got I Can't Believe... for M have they? To be fair, I don't even know if it's £1 RTC in M (I assume it was) as I had just one store, showing full price £1.45 or something like that!, on Monday and didn't bother to check - it was probably still in my other two stores I didn't visit on that day. I saw it nowhere yesterday, but think M will still have it (if not in my 'full price' SEL M:().

    I'm also now having problems (though it may just be the stores I've visited) with the 200g Hellmann's Mayonnaises - they've been RTC as well (Savvy now reveals!:doh:) and I couldn't find them anywhere yesterday - maybe just one more store would have turned them up?:think: - so I think they might drop off the system as well now, if they were on it in the first place - and typical again as no other competitor is now also £1, so might have to wait until somewhere is.;):cool: However, to be fair, it's expensive price for the weight. Might be better to stumble across the 200g in several months' time in M and find it's gone to a very low price indeed:rotfl:.

    Morning

    Just looking on waities and they have the fairy non bio 24 wash at £7 each or 2 for £8 so works out £5.20 for the two,exspensive to some but if you need it it's not a bad price
