Bella Italia emails are in - my local went within 3 minutes though

Ive only just got my email..so all already booked

Savvybuyer

So as may as well post my store specific RTC shelf items - I was going to miss it out but I was prompted:cool::

Newcastle under Lyme (town centre)
M Academic Diary 2016-17 25p
Perfect Pastry 6 Mini Flan Cases (125g) 29p
These on different RTC shelf (other part of store) to the diary:
Maggi So Sticky Teriyaki Chicken (54g) 25p
Maggi So Juicy Balti Chicken (30g) 25p Long dates I think

Congleton
M Sundae Glasses (green or red) 25p
M Double Oven Glove 49p
Air Wick Electric Plug In Refill - Life Scents Lush Hideaway £1.75
M Birds Tea Towel (3 pack) 75p
M Herbs Tea Towel (3 pack) 75p
M Moroc [I assume it is Morocco] Tea Towel (3 pack) 75p
M Mono Tea Towel (3 pack) 75p
M Pineap[ple] Tea Towel (3 pack) 75p
Why not just say "several different M own 3 pack tea towels"? But I had to go and list them specifically and comprehensively:rotfl::doh:.

Shrewsbury
Kellogg's Coco Pops Porridge (40g) 25p
Bob Martin Spring Puppy Chew Stop 75p
Cirio Passata Rustica (680g) 35p
M Bubble Tub 9p:)
Tate & Lyle Royal Icing Sugar (500g) 19p Outside packaging open but no doubt product fine inside (inner bag untouched).
I won't bother with the cereal boxes that were there as they will probably be gone now. They were selling out fast. I took some myself and left a Disney frozen box that was a little more expensive than the two I took. Prices were that good - although not as good as the 9p from Gloucester Metz months ago.

Nantwich
M Jalfrezi Curry Paste (80g) 19p short date (some end September)
M Madras Curry Paste (80g) 19p short date as above
Kleenex 6 Pockets Tissues 9p:eek:
Colgate Total Pro Gum Heath Toothbrush - Soft 89p One unit in stock - it was out on the shelf obvious and threatening to be bought so I put it near the back of the shelf in the hope it will still be there for you if you want/need it.:)
M Bubble Tub 15p
Just for Men Original Formula Haircolour - H-25 Natural Light Brown 99p
Just for Men Autostop Hair Colour - A-55 Real Black 99p
Taylors of Harrogate Kenya Expresso Capsules (10) 75p
Obviously untrue that M doesn't stock it again:

DS2 went today...... he was served after by a girl he went to school with.

When she was 15 she had argued with her parents, and left. Her mum
knocked on our neighbours door at 1 am trying to find our house, so see if DS2 knew were she was... well he was camping with about 30 other kids... and this girl. DS2 answered his phone, and had no knowledge that she did not have permission to be out, he persuaded the girl to walk out of the wood to collect a food parcel from me (rather normal), we then managed to persuade her to go home, and took her home... she never knew that DS2 was in with the plot (he then gave her mother advice on parenting whilst I tried to shut him up!)

Well today, she gave him a massive discount one pair of glasses, and one pair of sun glasses with a load of extras for £60.... bargain!

I need to go as well as I cannot see properly, but think I will go to a different opticians!



I am looking forward to you being on the programme.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Lovely story ssm:)

Good evening, I know it's a long shot that aa will see this as its a few days old, but was wondering if you avoid the baby foods with onion and other toxic for dogs food, I don't have a dog that needs a special diet anymore but am very causious what my boy eats.:)

hey izzy I used to feed my dogs onions regular like in casseroles raw in salad etc but as soon as I heard they could harm them I stopped adding them but they still have them in ready made foods but they are like 12 stone but saying that I wouldn't give small dogs the amount mine consume (which is minimal) used to feed one of them grapes by the handful cos she loved them and felt so bad when I found out that I have to eat them in another room xxx

Hillburn, free eye tests in tescos.

Thank you all for your help, I haven't had time to check things out for myself due to a now 17 month old dear little grandson I do pop in from time to time using my phone but I like my laptop...I cant ever get on there until after bedtime. If I do get on during the day we have wheels on the bus on for hours!!!!!!:rotfl: and I cant look for anything myself...but I wouldn't change it:)

Ok very sad about bake off but on the plus side there is now a vacancy for a pair of ladies who are very quick with their innuendos.....

My vote goes to TM and PD:j:j:j

Has N been on to tell you about our shopping marathon yesterday?

We entered home bargains and it was the end of the day, I was tiring so used N's walking stick while she used trolley. Half way round WHILE was chatting to a shop assistant I absent minded walked off with her trolley. There was N abandoned in aisle with no walking aid. At some point she looked over to me and I said 'Let's see you shop now' !!!
Don't think she realised straight away what I had done, she looked again and burst out laughing:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: And made it to the trolley ok.

It is quite a joke between us that I get bored shopping after a while and while N has had a broken foot it has slowed her down to a more manageable level for me.

I love playing pranks on her and not a trip goes by where I do not get up to something.
We were in savers earlier in the day and typically had not got a basket, I never do and instead end up holding my various bottles and lotions to my chest. Was doing just that when N picked up yet another deodorant and handed it to me.
'There's no more room in my cleveage'! I cried.
Gentleman looked over and N remarked I was attracting attention.
Gentleman explained he was good.
Well I'm not! I replied:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

We do have a laugh:D

Lazy day today as too hot to do anything else. No shopping but have parcelled up clothing I bought online for holiday and want to return.

Right off to catch up

That made me chuckle - :rotfl:
I do love your stories:)

Hi AA, I must admit in years past mine had the leftover mince, and actually anything that the kids left made it the dogs bowl:o, since it's become more widely known, thanks to the tinternet, we are very careful what max gets, I did have a girl who loved grapes too, we would share a bunch , was reading earlier today and there is even advocado on the no no list , feeding the kids was easier.:)

These dove sets in s/drug are they with other mini stuff? been in 2 today on y travels and couldnt find any

They are usually just next to or below the minis. I found two more earlier and got another mini to make it £3.

I was planning to have a low/no spending day until saw them. There's a nice little place to park for free outside of the congestion charge zone in London for 2 hours - my mum was bored and I wanted to Pokemon hunt, so we took a packed lunch and went to Tower Hill, used our Costa points to get a free drink and the went to Ms. Thanks Aau, now have about 20 packs of sprinkles/mini marshmallows

Yep, I am joining the mass exodus, off to Madeira next week We've been meaning to go there for a while and will finally manage it

Have a lovely time.
I stopped there on one of my cruises, seemed a really nice place.

I might just have overdone it on the alcohol I've bought to smuggle on in my rum runners. Hope I don't get caught or I will have a lot of explaining to do!! :eek::rotfl:

If I don't get caught, the party will definitely be in my cabin. :beer:
