    HG post your birdie pic. And no one should even think about not posting. We are bigger than that!

    Here is my latest stray.....Bruce the dove. I found him in the front garden at the weekend. He's perfectly healthy but I think he had a lucky escape from a cat. His wing is badly damaged and he can't fly :( he's only a youngster. He's happily milling around with the chickens and ducks and has wasted no time finding the food and water. He moved into the spare coop and can stay until his feathers grow back. Hopefully he'll be able to take off very soon.

    Off out to pick up Football Manager 16 on pc for ds, £12.99 from Smyth's toyshop, not been in this one before.
    Hope it isn't cheaper with ipint, looked too complicated to bother with.
    curl girl with a space - even though there is no space in my cupboard!!!

    Please can I ask are there any kind and wonderful people around who might have a Dolmio jar around with the barcode on?

    Just rummaging through my bar and I looked at 2 Morribobs receipts from the weekend, one has spare points to be added - might even get a Morribobs fiver before Christmas, who would have thought!

    It has a Dolmio jar on :T

    The other receipt looks like a cashback list from previous weeks - Butchers pet food, warburton loaf, Heinz beans etc
    It does though have a lettuce and I've got a saved lettuce photo - its a long receipt so its going to be a pain to do the snap ...

    so I am just stuck on the Dolmio pretty please

    ???

    We have them regularly walking about in the field behind us and some years one will strut through our garden - you would never think we had 3 cats the wildlife that gets away with wondering through :D

    Fox's Bourbon Creams (200g)Any 2 for 70p I think these are pretty expensive - just 200g each?:huh:
    [Strike]Fox's Custard Creams [/Strike][Strike](200g)Any 2 for 70p As above.[/Strike] I think I am now moving to Crawford's Custard Creams (300g) in M as same pricing. Now moved to A own brand vs M as own brand are 400g.

    I think Fox's Bourbon Creams and Fox's Custard Creams have gone in M as well now. (Although I don't really think that, if you know what I mean: I always think they've never truly gone nowadays.)

    In other words, watch out for both of them in your M in case they have gone onto worthwhile 10p RTC or something like that.

    Meanwhile, on the list, I'm going to fudge it - I'm going to say that Fox's Bourbon Creams at 2 for 70p were never worthwhile in the first place and cheaper (by amount) Bourbon Creams are available than those - so on that basis I am deleting them entirely. And I'm going to remove Fox's Custard Creams as Crawford's Custard Creams (that have themselves vanished for me) became better but have themselves been replaced by A own brand vs M own brand at 400g. So, seemingly getting better there meaning the Crawford's Custard Creams are themselves not good value, and the Fox's even worse and will therefore be deleted entirely for that reason. Unless they turn up on RTC in some Ms:rotfl:.

    So, I'm enabled to remove the Fox's versions from the list. And have a watch out for all of them (the Fox's and the Crawford's) in your M just in case - you never know:rotfl:. (And - don't bother with the Fruit Shortcake as that's hopeless at 144g:rotfl::rotfl:!)

    Afternoon, what can I say but just so upsetting to read the catch up. Don't know who's been banned, who's got ae's etc but the jg poster needs serious input from the mental health service.
    On a brighter note I collected 2 free Bulmers from my local Toby (asked for them to leave them capped so I could take them home, I'm not one to drink & drive) and just had an email to say I've won a main meal:j

    very sweet - we have numerous times scooped up injured birds into a cool bag and taken them to RSPCA Stapley Grange to be mended (but more likely to be put out of their misery)
