    Thanks for this:T, it's drawn my attention to some potentially good items at T, some of which I wasn't aware of:o:o:rotfl:. It's clearly not worthwhile now but do they have £2.00 price for M on the Fruity Pies and is that showing as an mbuy price? Just want to see if they have 2 for £2 or straight £1 as I came across an issue with that earlier in the week but, fortunately, they did not make it to the M list:rotfl:! TIA.

    And I didn't even bothering writing down the £1 price in M on those either:rotfl: - I just walked straight past them there!:T I thought "they go down to 69p" so £1 price is very expensive:eek::eek:! As you've just shown now with this excellent find:T:T.

    It works out cheaper than T's everyday obviously currently lack of value version as 25p from Heron Foods is cheaper!

    The real shocker though is how Sains. Basics:eek: Tomato Ketchup is cheaper by weight than T's they claim value, I claim not:D:p version! I just thought it could never be possible for Sains to be cheaper, but here they are. Heron Foods on Daddies still works out cheaper though:cool:.

    But - ha! - M Savers Tomato Ketchup is cheaper than Heron Foods sorry. Although they want you to buy 1Kg there so pay more in total but getting more.

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Today I was walking down the street, as I was passing an oldish women I smiled and said "hello" (Sometimes I think you can make a persons day with just a smile or a nod or even a verbal recognition) Little did I know that it would me left with a spring in my step for the rest of the day. She smiled back and said "you look lovely." In a instant I've dismissed it because thats the way my mind works :( Didn't even get to say "thanks" as we were walking in opposite directions. I've not stopped thinking about that moment today and for once i'm going to accept the compliment from a complete stranger. :)

    You must have looked lovely Westie. Why would a stranger say that if you didn't? You need to believe in yourself a lot more :)

    I thought you were still on holiday? :)
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Alonzi's is an American type diner / ice cream parlour on the sea front, gorgeous ice creams.... our favourite.

    Enjoy your last night.

    I was just coming on to say is anyone still waiting to get their tumble dryers repaired, I am still waiting, I was told at christmas I would get a phonecall, and still waiting.

    I have just sent an email to them but its been returned saying address not known.

    Has anyone got an email address, as the one I am replying to is not working:(

    My machine is brand new aswell, so not impressed.:(
    Hi nearly missed your post! The lovely Mrs zag says that she filled in the online form and they got back to her. Ours was a hotpoint.

    They took a while to get back to us. Don't think we found an email address but will check again.

    But you may be here for a few years!!
    Found these out on a walk, I think the first is elderflower berries not sure about the second ... Sloe or damsons and I think I found a chestnut tree but very small at the moment

    The 1st is elderberries, the second looks like sloe but I cannot see properly... if they are sloe's remember they are best with a frost on them (I cheat and pick them, slash them and freeze them.... aka picking them early!!)
