Tuesday - gained 6 llbs:(

Most of that will be water weight it's almost impossible to put on that amount weight in that time frame. If you have a sluggish metabolism or you've damaged your metabolism by constantly under eating it will make weight gain easier

I have porridge everyday :D currently what I buy in T's have a saving of 30p per bag, so I buy a couple every time I go in :cool:

I tried to find these the other day with no success

How many did you get? I suppose in theory you could return them and exchange for the multipacks

on mysupermarket they are supposed to be £1 for packs of 6 in !!!!!! so these would be good for a
sada v !!!!!!
comparison shop

Now I think about it - you could buy your allotted 12 packs in Asda - I think there are about 6 different versions so you will need some fillers or other cashback items.
£18 in sada v £12 in !!!!!! (not including the fillers)
if my maths is correct £7.20 APG and £6 from COS

so £4.80 for 72 bags (21g each) - good for school lunch boxes and cheaper than crisps or other banned snacks

Be careful - the CoS offer is claim from T or M only.

Good morning all....

Drawing out the fire with a newspaper,I can remember my Gran doing it...and when we have a fire we still use the same method if it wont "spark up"

Our fireplaces are slightly smaller than the one in the picture...but that could be me!

I'm surprised that no one else has said they do it nowadays or am I the only one who has real fires,surely there must be a few other elite who haven't converted to log burners!!!

No you aren't the only elite with a real fire- I have one as well but..if it doesn't spark very well I sprinkle sugar on it and then draw it up with the paper...its a wonder we haven't set the house on fire!!
I don't have a real fire very often now as I also have central heating..but the real fire was a godsend when 5 years ago when we had loads of snow 2 weeks before xmas and the motor on the boiler packed up!!!

Mhoc, there's free 400g bags of Royal Canin catfood on 10ways, and your area is well supplied with stockists - it is only available from certain participating stores.

Beware- I bought the single packs for cos fruit bowl

Thank you for contacting us,
Unfortunately your claim was not rewarded as an ineligible product was purchased. On your receipt you have the single packs of Fruit bowl, however our offer is for the Multi pack range of Fruit Bowl, which are shown in the list of eligible products, under the offers Terms and conditions..
Sorry to disappoint you,

Thank you - not found in stock yet but now saves me looking. It may be worth replying that under the picture it does state "Buy any product from the Fruit Bowl range" and suggest they should update to avoid others being disappointed.

Now the question is whether all singles are now off limits or whether you just hit on one not on the list (as others have claimed success). What did you buy please?
