    Just a heads up with Xmas coming up. There has been xmas T magazines for quite a few years now and normally starts coming out in the last week of November, so hopefully soon.
    Below is last year.

    XMAS 2015
    50p off Cadbury Fabulous Fingers or Salted Caramel Crunch Fingers
    50p off Soba noodles
    75p off any Bodyform panty (awful word!) liners
    £2 off any Nexium Control product (no...me neither?)
    £1 off ways £4 on any cold and flu product
    100 extra Clubcard points when you buy a gift card worth £20 or more
    £3 off ways £12 on Tesco dairy (excludes counters) one dated November, one dated December
    £1.25 off wys £5 on any Tesco chilled desserts (excluding Meal Deal)
    £1.50 wys £6 on any Tesco Continental meat, pate and olives (excluding counters)
    50p off when you spend £2 on citrus fruit
    50 extra cc points when you buy any 75cl bottle of Echo Falls Fruits.

    PS in 2014 there was also the £3 of £12 spend on Dairy.

    I believes (correct me if I am wrong) that the re-occurring dairy one has been on the go nearly every year and works on pre-offer prices (BOGOF etc). So maybe put off buying cheese etc until we see what they will be offering, AND what BM might show up. ALSO I notice a lot of Mr T offers ending on 15/11, so maybe Xmas deals will be coming through?

    Wow....you've put some work in there bh:T:T

    Remember too the Lidl catalogues with the cheap Panattone ....grab them when you can as they ran out quickly last year.....assuming they do it again:)

    I was wondering whether the little lego toys are worth 1200 points for all 5 of them... I haven't been able to get them free.

    1200 points? The poly bags are about £4 each retail price.

    Hot chocolate anyone?

    Thoughts please? :o Food photography is harder than it looks, i'm going to do a reshoot, only this time work cold so that the marshmallow don't lose form so quickly and that the chocolate doesn't melt. But the handle, does it matter that it's missing in one image? Do you want a bigger depth of field i.e. seeing more of the image sharp ? Would it look out of place in say the tesco mag recipe section? Sorry for so many questions but you do get hot chocolate :D:D

    I don't know about tesco mag but it looks good to me.I could eat and drink that right now.I've not had any dinner yet:D

    Oh for pity sake. T r y I n g, to tell my sister how to do the up&go thing at tesco as she has loads of metros . She keeps saying "I don't get it" :mad: She has a big T at the end of her road as well.
    Hurrah. After 2 weeks my sister finally plucked up the courage to go to her local T's which is just 5 mins walk from her and came back with 25 up and go's . So I said what did you get with the overage. She said what overage. Turns out she's got 25 of the big up and go's and didn't buy anything else. All 25 vouchers scanned at £1.79, so all free. But she still doesn't understand getting the 10 or so other items yet. Not bad getting 25 in one shop though:eek:. Most I've done is 10 :o

    I hope so but she's just rung me they think he may have got the stomach bug :eek: I've messaged all my friends and there's a few jobs re pointing a patio etc to see him on until he finds something. Unfortunately the building trade goes quiet around now but he can turn his hand to most things so he should be ok DH is going to ask at his work tomorrow, fingers crossed he hasn't got the bug and has just got himself worked up.
    You want to protect your kids from everything you can but unfortunately there's no protection from life.
    Everything happens for a reason :o

    We reminisce most about the tough times we had when we were first married and how much fun it was making ends meet. Happy days but certainly not what you want for your children. You just want things to go smoothly don't you? But with your help they'll be fine Di. If you can't make things easier for them with your super glitchy skills, then no one can:A

    And things do happen for a reason. Perhaps this will send him down a different path....a better one.

    There's loads of people want work doing before Christmas and if the weather stays mild he should be fine laying bricks......no one can take his skills away from him:)

    Have you entered your payment details first (click on Current Balance top right then enter PayPal or BACS)? Once you request it will process any you submit up to processing on Thursday. If you have requested already and click on the button again it says Oops you have already a payment request.

    Thank-you very much. I've done it :) xx
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    Went into a small T Express store earlier and noticed they had 2 types of NCG shloop at £1.17, I met a neighbour there and offered them 2 £1 Off coupons. They looked at them and said, oh no thanks :doh:
    I then bought a couple for myself.

    Long live the Muggles, without them there would be less for us :T

    I had a similar thing last week in T. I offered a lady a 50p ATM coupon for cheese spread as she was putting the exact same product in her trolley. She listened and thanked me. I walked on but looked back as I got to the end of the aisle. She put it back on the shelf and picked the dearer brand right next to it.
