    Told you the store specific RTCs weren't of much interest:rotfl:. (I will go btw, I know I'm now keeping myself here but do need to go.) I have some M White Cake Cases at 29p in M Corby. And I think that's all I was bothered to take details of. The Ambrosia cartons that were 70p but are nowadays 2 for £1.50:( and were at cheaper individual price (than 70p) on the RTC shelf in Coalville have now gone, I can say that much, so that detail will be deleted whenever I get to the list.

    In fact, I have all the details of all pricing across M and knowledge of the whole lot just right in my head, so I know it all completely off the top of my head - it's a matter of communicating that information and getting it down onto here. So, I'll go to M tomorrow and just remember the entire configuration of their offers that I need to look out for to see if anything's changed:cool:. I just remember it all!:rotfl: Very good talent really, a speciality!:D:T:rotfl: I can tell you the Bin liners - two types - Pedal Bin 40 and Swing Bin 20 (but that detail was from my page:(:rotfl:) have gone up slightly from 92p to 97p, but that's just those couple of random items.

    Leave you with that. I'm not much use at present I know, sorry. Thanks for bearing with me!

    I will go now - honest!:rotfl: See you soon:):wave:.

    Evening- just doing a quick catch up after an eventful weekend away in London...No baby hasn't arrived yet baby grandson due on 24th Oct...
    Anyway DIL was given a moses basket but the canopy is in pink its very pretty but she is having a little boy :)
    I have never dyed anything before, any tips of what to buy and where? I had a quick look but the dyes were round about £7-£8 ...I didn't really want to pay that much- any advice appreciated x

    I find that claims show a lot quicker if loaded via the website rather than the app.

    Nah. They are good in that you can submit your receipt up to 6 days after you shopped, even if the offer closed between purchase and upload

    God, I am not. I have not updated it with purchases over the weekend.

    DS3 just popped home with bags of shopping as he 'realised we were running low':eek::eek::eek: He spent £8 on 2 loafs of bread (white bread yuck), milk, a large lurkpak and cans of Murphys for OH... eight flipping pounds! I am tempted to tell him it is his contribution to the household (yes he still is not paying board!)
