Few, all caught up now. What a good catch-up. I dont really do bought pizzas now, but I do like Gu puddings

Edit: but those Pizza express ones are about the best you can buy IMO

Go on you know you want to.

£5.50 5 pizza, 10 puds and 5 different sweets. :money:

Please tell me what you think of it once you have tried it, I was amazed!

But please people dont kill wasps if they are way from your house, they do a lot of good in the garden, and only get harmful in autumn when they get drunk on the rotten fruit.

There's a reason why the carrot was bought of course. And everything else on my shop. It is, hopefully, the necessary 8th:eek: item. I notice that the beggars have put the SP Spaghetti Loops tin down to 14p and I originally put that onto my shopping list (as hoped it would not make much odds vs M). If 10% cheaper than M is 14.4p however it should now be vs W:rotfl:. But I wasn't bothered by 0.4p which would probably round down anyway. However, my store had no trace of the Spaghetti Loops:(, doubtless because that 14p price has seen people buying them out, instead of the 16p 'normal' Spaghetti - faced with the two prices which would you buy? I suspect, like M, product has sold out of the store and then SEL removed. I had normal Spaghetti on my shop anyway - not too much odds. The A also didn't have SP Potatoes tin:( so I replaced that with a 10p Haribo Starmix. I was originally going to be paying about 20p but, with that Haribo, which I checked before to make sure it is on a.com, I had the 8 items and with that I just dare not buy any more:wall:(:rotfl:). So, yes, another anxious wait of nearly 3 hours now for the rest of you (whilst I'm perfectly fine!).

The Haribo Starmix is pretty expensive though:eek::eek:. (Indeed I didn't originally intend it to be on my shop - I had the other items, that my store didn't have, instead.) 10p is v.v. expensive for a small bag of about 8 or 9 sweets as I managed to buy a bag of Haribo Tangy Monsters 350g from M at 19p. I think that that was probably a glitch price and they did not really intend to reduce it like that. I picked up 'a few bags' - in fact mainly Haribo Wine Gums (350g) as there were also store-specific reduced stickers of 19p on those. BB date of August 2017 (I think some M staff are getting confused about which year it is:rotfl: - I managed the same with some Fox's Glacier Mints - 25p - one year expiry date on a load of stock in another M last week - I mentioned nowt as that was store-specific and they would all be gone). I think the Tangy Monsters/Wine Gums just now was a mistake that they didn't intend to have as I bought "a few bags", went back, did the rest of the price collection in that store, came back about an hour later, a member of staff was at the RTC shelf putting various stuff (none of it any good:rotfl:) onto the shelf and generally sorting it out - and I noticed all the Haribo bags (that were still left after I'd bought some) had now gone - so unless other customers literally bought them out within the hour, I think the member of staff has taken them off the shelf - but not before I managed to buy as many as I needed (and thought I might get another one for good luck but never mind) beforehand!

So don't go expecting Haribo 350g bags at 19p in M:rotfl:. You never know though - they might bring out various bags of sweets at various RTC prices in stores at different times.

Therefore I've got about a year's supply of wine gums - although we might have to start eating them a month later than planned (leave them off for a month and start then) as I didn't manage to get my final bag.

Random comment, just in case this is of interest to anyone - when I did go to T's this evening, my bill came to £1
I put a pound coin into the slot, but it didn't recognise that I had paid - the till still asked for payment. Anyway, as I had only bought one item and had definitely put in the £1 coin, I told the SS supervisor, who shook the coin section, checked that it hadn't come out at the bottom, and then just went to the SS supervisor's 'desk', got a pound coin and gave it to me to pay with!
It made me think that it didn't seem like this was the first time this had happened, and how many people would have just carried on paying until the till told them to stop :eek:
If it wasn't for the fact that I knew for sure that I had paid, as the bill was exactly £1 and I had definitely put a £1 coin into the slot, I would have doubted it myself.

I had something similar happen a few years back, think it was 20p not recognised and they put one in for me no questions asked. I might be wrong but I sort of remember them saying when they open up the machine they find odd coins sometimes that have failed to go right place and so do not register. But I might be making it up. :rotfl: Well not the bit where they put one in for me.

It shows as 'not stocked' in all my nearest stores :eek::eek::eek:
Also not available for home delivery or click and collect.
Hopefully they will have it instore, really hope it's just an item they don't keep online stock control for. Fingers crossed :A:A

Always a wise idea to keep a man who is good with your water works on side

It definitely is.

I actually went to school with his brother who is adamant he carried my school bag home for me one day because he fancied me. And I can't even remember him doing it.

Got a fridge freezer for free off a local selling page last week, cracking timing

Last wasp question - if I buy it at 7am tomorrow, and it says it is best to use it late evening or early morning - do you think it will still be early enough to do it tomorrow morning at about 7.30??
