i'm also off to grab my jars will be fine getting them all on the same receipt x

full price for me tonight.

Well I think Chris beat me to it, I could only get 3 red cabbage, 3 onions, and one piccalilli. I was mainly after the girkins, as ran out of those today anyway, but not to be.

Cheers for the different pointers on CS/COS, I decided to use COS to get me up to the £20 :beer:

Ramdev Whole Wheat Flour 10Kg - it says £8 online but I found signage for it at £2 RTC in the T Extra. So I did remember something:rotfl:.

I also saw some specific packet of noodles or sauce on 21p RTC, so that might be in people's Ts as well.

And I noticed Coco Pops 800g have gone down in T to £1.87 again. So hopefully they will remain nice high-priced in A to help me get rid of an APG and get something decent back. Just checked: I notice A is £3.98:eek::eek:_pale_ - I wasn't thinking that high-priced though! Nearly four pounds just for a box of Coco Pops - it's utterly ridiculous! (IMO.) And will require probably somewhat more to pay in the first place than I was hoping.

But I think that's already been posted.

And ordered by you.

Just tried this one and it works out 6 for 2 too.

I say with me and car tyres, I've no idea how to replace one. Well obviously I know how. I can see that, you put the jack under, unscrew parts, take them off, etc. But it's the actual physically doing it. I have done it before, with supervision, but I'm not confident I could do one alone like I was and be sure I'd done everything right for it to be safe. So it's best left to people who can do these things. Maybe I am making excuses and having 'executive dysfunction' again, putting things off, not doing them because they are 'new' and not part of a special interest. I just find changing tyres boring and have no energy to do it. Now, if I was someone with Asperger's whose interest was car tyres, and I'm sure someone out in our country is, then I would be able to do it enthusiastically and excellently. I would know every make, model, number, type of material used and everything else, but maybe fortunately I don't. Instead I know useless M prices:o:rotfl::rotfl:. And even then I don't know them when I can't get to M to find them out.

I don't know if it is excuses again - it probably is - but, perhaps I'm just making excuses, there's fine motor skills problems that may make handling a tyre (or indeed anything, from time to time) more difficult. Always about the way I hold a pencil very strangely and can't peel potatoes with a peeler except one that rips the skin off very harshly. Then I often have a potato in my hand, lose my grip and it goes flying. As I do normally when I bump into things:rotfl:. (I just travel through space and... occasionally can't stop. And occasionally I end up in someone else's personal space from that, not intending to be, and unaware that it was there.) You wouldn't call it a disability but it is very subtle things that, added together, probably are. (Except that I've "suffered" them all my life so don't really know how much easier it would be without them - maybe 'normal' people have problems with having a normal person's physique?:think: - perhaps everyone is impaired in some way and perhaps the majority of people are impaired but not seen as disability as that's the normal being. It's not really an impairment with me (not being able to hold a potato between my hands sometimes - I mean I can, but it's just sometimes I loss my grip whilst doing so) or, if it is, it is not a great one, but perhaps it's just these little things occasionally that may be "harder" but I don't realise it because I've always had it that way. Life is harsh - I can hear violins starting playing:rotfl:. Don't cry folks. It's not that bad. In fact it's not really bad at all. I have it too easy really, in a lot of ways and there are many less fortunate than me.)

I suppose the car tyres is like theory. I can know it all in theory, but actually doing it is another thing - it probably calls for too much common sense that I don't have:rotfl:. Same as having a normal conversation. I can learn the rules of back and forth etc. - but just not able to do it in practice. Coupled with the fact I don't see body language so don't get any cues. You'll all like actors aren't you, in this society?:rotfl: Waiting to be "cued" every time:(. How boring:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. Or not waiting but just being.

No, for bogof and 342 to work you need a number that 3 and 2 both go into, so 6/12/18 etc.

the garniers, regardless of what it says on the basket page, is really only bogof. the superdrug stuff is working though eg 6 for 2/12 for 4 etc

I'm sure I had one of the Garniers in my basket and it worked out 9 for price of 5 but can't recreate it now. I may have lost the plot. Bedtime I think.

Home alone for last time on a Monday as Bowls finishes tonight.

I have been told that Fourp will receive a 'reward/prize' tonight. I've told him to wear stretchy trousers - can't have him collecting a prize with trousers ripped from hem to 4rse :o

Did he listen? :mad::mad:
