OH just called Head gasket gone on my car been procrastinating about selling it for months. Should have just done it.
And some 'persons' broke into the forest and smashed their sump out of the car, spent 2 hours putting dams and oil spill pads out to stop it going in the water grrr

COS are paying £1 for the up & go breakfast drinks, these are 69p in Tesco.

I thought the same yesterday when i fist saw the cos offer, but editted my post when i saw the diffetent sizes.

It doesnt hurt to post again though. So hopefully nobody will be caught out buying the wrong size

I thought I recognised the oppo Ice cream from somewhere...it's a Dragons Den fail....I remember the dragons saying it was difficult to get away from the artificial sugar after taste.

Not tried our 2 tubs yet,only managed to get the caramel ones not the mint....but plenty of tubs left in smaller H&B shops so if you are still looking for it that might be the best place to head to.

FYI, the cb is gone from shoppyum unless your receipt is dated earlier than 8am today

Typical, I got some from H&B at lunch time. *sob sob*

They did not want the investment. Bbc asked them 3 times to go on the show. 3rd time they done it for the publicity. They tell you about it on their web page. They also said the lift and the Windows arnt real

I dont use shoppy...I guess we were happy enough with the free ice cream...only got 2 tubs in total....lets be honest the words guilt free and Ice cream dont really go together so I'm not expecting much from it...and even if it was nice it certainly isn't worth 5.99 a tub

It's gone in a blink, can't believe it. Enjoy your last evening, Tweets, hope you and Poppy are doing something indulgent. Once you're back tomorrow it will be halfterm before you know it.

I went back to work midsummer week and in a fortnight that will make it 3 whole months... :eek:

4 yrs and 6 weeks to SPA for me - it'll fly by (I hope!)

Although to be fair theres always 2 sides to a story......and what better publicity do they need than giving their stuff away....but whatever the outcome I suspect that very few getting their free tubs now will transfer to regular buyers....unless you eat it because of dietary need/requirements I suppose

Most of the coupon links have been touted round the freebie sites so they are hardly targeting potentially the market that they would like to retain going forward...lets be honest I bet there are freezers full of the stuff in student houses but once its gone are student moneysavers really going to fork out £5.99
a tub or move on to the next thing to fill the space...??
Or indeed how many elite or passers by this site like it enough to buy going forward....I think Rose mentioned it was nice...but she didnt say its on her shopping list once the vouchers have expired.....are you putting it on your W picks Zippy?

I remember last year or the year before there being a big coupon push with love tub puddings....we were eating them for weeks...but once the vouchers ran out so did the enthusiasm for them.
I think they withdrew from shops a couple of weeks ago

I'm a ben and jerrys girl and even then only when its on offer ...better still glitching....£2.50 is my max price and only then it has to be a flavour I LOVE!
