    Sounds as if you are going to tell me I should have bought a three year card! :(

    yep lol but not to worry can always buy another when it expires xxx:T
    We are many we are one xxx

    So that every single post that I contribute to this thread is on topic I would just like to say I am an elite 11+ member and I hear the unjust silence of my opinions whilst I am shopping in supermarkets mainly. Just sayin.

    i doubt you would be wanting to join me at the footy and pub either.:rotfl:

    I definitely would.......:rotfl:

    Nearly forgetting to mention that I picked up Oz's Royal Canin 400g bag of dry cat food today. Just ordered another one via Mr TM's email:)

    I'm trying him on the "Senior" type now. It might encourage him to be a bit more sensible:rotfl:

    I may not be able to as the course I am on is only very part-time and ends in December! It was free too and initially I was only going to sign up for the NUS card, but then I saw a course I was interested in, so am very pleased. I'm mainly interested in the international card and that was only for a year which is why I went down that road.

    I've been on a Village one which was very cheap & included Fri night stay, meal & prosecco, full use of facilities which were very nice. Just add any treatments but check groupon etc for deals on the treatments xx

    Feel good Fridays - and you book via the village website.
    I've just had a look at the list and found Swindon on the list so Ive sent the link along :T

    I am going to play fridge tetris with mine as they do have a long use by date. Also contemplating combining two into one if I have to freeze...

    Did very well in T tonight. Drove a bit further to the nicest near me, the nearest is horrible and each time I tell myself not to be silly, myself is proved right! There were loads of whoopsies, all 5p or so and a 60p orchid in a pot too.

    Little dish compared to M:

    2x LITTLE DISH 1YR+ FISH PIE 200G £4.60 £5.00 £4.50 £3.75

    2x LITTLE DISH 1YR+ COTTAGE PIE 200G £4.60 £5.00 £4.50 £3.75

    2x LITTLE DISH 1YR+ PASTA BOLOGNESE 200G £4.60 £5.00 £4.50 £3.75

    2x LITTLE DISH 1YR+ CHICKEN PIE PIE 200G £4.60 £5.00 £4.50 £5.00

    2x LITTLE DISH 1YR+ CHICKEN & VEG RISOTTO 200G £4.60 £5.00 £4.50 £5.00

    2x LITTLE DISH 1YR+ SHEPHERDS PIE 200G £4.60 n/a £4.50 £3.77

    Tesco comparable total £23.00 £27.60 £27.60
    Competitor shop total £25.00 £27.00 £25.02
    The difference -£2.00 £0.60 £2.58

    Fillers went into the food bank, I've uploaded the receipt to Shopmummy and hope to have 12 x 2.30 back (ie £27.60). I used 12 x £1 coupons and therefore paid £15.60 less £2.58 BG = £13.02 for my little dishes. If Shopmummy does as I am expecting, I make that £14.58 profit. And whoopsies on top!

    Am slightly, but only slightly, beginning to regret not going back and getting more, although I don't think any of the others they stocked compared with M.

    Hey.....well done Picasso:T:T

    We've lit the fire tonight and it's so cosy,...I might have been tempted to go out if I wasn't so warm and comfortable.

    Well done you:T
