    Keep an eye open for the SEL on beans still showing 5 for £3.
    Bought ten bbq beans no multi at till, £3:50 refund plus £2 GC after gentle nudge, results later.

    I often wonder how often an elite member has been converted to regularly buying a product that might be dearer ( or even downgraded) than their usual option because they tried it free with a coupon or a glitch. Anyone going to admit :D

    Colour and dirt collectors from Dr Beckmann....

    sent for a free pack a few years back and now one goes in every wash...far cheaper than separating colours and whites into 2 lots of washing.
    I think they might be slightly dearer than the dylon colour catchers but IMO they work better.

    Hiya, was just looking at the A mag and there's a £1 off little dish in there (1 per transaction)

    Probably old news I expect, but I didn't know so thought worth a mention :)

    Did you get any of the free vouchers, I printed mine last night......... up to £2.75.... do people really pay that much, in my time you just cooked without salt and mushed it up a bit!

    Talk of the devil...and the estate agent sends an email

    just "touching base" to see how the sale is going!
    (don't you just hate stupid buzz words and phrases)...go on let's all make a list.....

    now does he really want me to list everything that is niggling at the moment with a view to him actually sorting it out...seen as he's not really that way inclined.
    .....or shall I just ignore him ...till at least Monday!

    Learnt a new word today :D

    Kummerspeck.


    "kummerspeck" - a German word which loosely translates to "excess weight gained from emotional overeating", but which is much better under its literal meaning: grief bacon.
