    It's such a weird feeling skim reading over a couple of days.....it feels like you are all speaking a foreign language:rotfl:

    No wonder folk don't "get" us:rotfl:

    Well done on the super drug glitches...nice to see bubbs and TS spending scamps money:rotfl:

    Off to research pickles.......hope they compare somewhere:rotfl:

    What a fabulous Christmas we are all going to have:T:T

    They don't compare so nice and easy :) buy up to 3 of each type in Asda for £1 each then claim from COS and/or CS 89p each - see cashback apps for types :D

    Pickles can only be got from A and are £1. Elsewhere they are more, so is a get alone shop.
    Had to stop myself laughing at the SA when she said in amazement, Only £1 each. That's a bargain. Well how could I explain they will only be 11p each when I've finished :rotfl:
