    Does anyone else feel slightly smug seeing the Christmas stuff in the shops knowing that they have enough Christmas cards, crackers and wrapping paper to last them for the next 3 years:)

    I only have enough for this year. There was
    virtually no reduced stock here in the sales. I am thinking of moving near you. :)


    My whoopsie friend got 12 full chickens and 12 packs of low fat mince for £1.00 each last night. He is good as he always shares with others. Just as well I was not there my budget would have been over.

    I'm just looking on SSC (I've learned!) and someone says there is a little Thomas, metal train engine, scanning at S for £1 instead of £7.

    There is also confirmation (1 September) that we can use printed vouchers at T from their mag. Could be very useful.

    I'd already clocked that there are free lego toys with the Mail this weekend.

    What I went looking for was http://www.liveitalian.co.uk/coupon.php which is 50p off Giovanni Rana stuffed pasta. (Yes, I've still lots of Barilla, but not the stuffed ones.) That is £1.00 in S and £1.85 in A. I'm sure there is a reason I need an A v S shopping list! Here Yopmail is your friend or if you have a gmail account, just pop in some extra full stops. EDIT: It only let me print two on my PC. After that, even though it was a separate email, it stopped. Not like the CG soup! Will need to power up other computers...

    Hi scamps, not sure if peeps go to bed early or just don't have anything to post on here. I can see there are a few still logged on and lurking in the shadows as I was :rotfl:
