Afternoon luvlies

Last day of hols today, off home tomorrow. DS and his gf cooked us a lovely meal last night, so great catching up with them. Just packed up and had lunch, only have salad and fruit at lunchtimes, still some people are getting their monies worth (AI) :rotfl:

Dropped a dress size for DD1's wedding last month so there's no way I want to put it all back on again, back to the gym next week

LS, so glad you've found happiness in the shape of a new man, lovely to hear x

so prices seem to have updated since my post.

The popcorn is £1.98 in A and £1.49 in T but it's just £1 on W.com (not shown on MSM)

As APG uses w.com it should pick up the £1 price

The only thing is shoppymum give a max refund of £1.80 so you'd pay £1.98, get £1.08 APG and £1.80 cb making profit of 90p

Not bad if you get cheap as chips fillers (you could always get free 10p sweets for Halloween)

edit: hmmm...I just signed into w.com and the pop works isn't showing so there must be some regional variation

edit2: still would give a small return v T so I might chuck one into my next muller shp and see how it compares to W while I'm at it

aau1... Can you tell me what the full w.com address is so I can googlie it..thanks

I MIGHT BE BEING OVER CAUTIOUS AND I Don't WANT TO SCAREMONGER BUT..........

I downloaded the GreenJing app earlier today after someone on here mentioned it a couple of days ago and thought that it looked good so registered. I thought I would receive a confirmation email or something but didn't. Anyway when looking at the payment methods it offered PayPal or bank, for some reason I didn't fill in my PayPal details and just left it. Lying in bed about an hour ago it crossed my mind that not only had they asked for my Paypal email but also my password :eek::eek::eek::eek:. They don't need your password to pay you money so this just might be a scam. :eek::eek: So this is a warning to any who may have put in their details. PLEASE CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD URGENTLY.

Sorry if this is an over reaction but seems a bit dodgy to me. It was on my mind so had to get up again to post this.

Response from Green Jinn

'Hi, the PayPal verification is an official PayPal framework, it's outside of our app. It's the one that is the most secure for the user. We are not collecting any PayPal data! However, we can see it's alarming to many users, so we are going to check if it's possible to change it!'

Had to go back to uni today to get the correct books from the library Anyone recommend any good books on ethics? And by good I mean not too complex

Tomorrow we're off to Manchester to visit two exhibitions: Idris Khan at the Whitworth and some fashion thing. Any ideas on what else to do, i'm not one of those that can spend hrs contemplating art so hoping to break free from the group :D

TIA

Does anyone know if the birdseye inspiration compares with other shops. Or is it best to buy it alone (if I find it that is)

Glad you have had a good holiday.

I know what you mean about some people on AI holidays, you would think they are never going to eat again :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

It's £4 on t.com and s.com and it's £3.47 on m.com so I wouldn't chance it against any of them

Just updated my frocky total as not sure when I last did.

I know I didn't add my £11.18 Sainsbobs shop from Friday yes I was really good and that was the only shop I did other than petrol which I'm not including.

And from yesterday small shop from Ts £5.59 as I forgot to get sausages out of freezer in the morning and got few other bits while there. . And from town £1.50 parking and £2 in SD for my sins. Trouble is I can't remember if I added the £4 I spent last week for my loo rolls and the duplicate of yesterday's bb creams + the free gift. :eek:

No cake in town yesterday just my free hot choc thanks O2.

For TS:

When temptation comes a knocking
Just remember that you're frocking.
Bring to mind this little verse -
and keep your money in your purse!

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Sorry HG you were a little late with your ditty,
Temptation knocked,
so I defrocked,
And took £2 out of my kitty. :eek:
