    Mr !!!!!! is def on my list for tomorrow - fingers crossed my store stocks this.
    I think this sort of thing has a long shelf life but its something I am very low on anyway, soft drinks. Just have to persuade my OH that is better for him than pepsi ...
    And when I run out of space again to stock pile it would be a good one for the food bank trolley :)

    If your store does delivery or C&C, log on and arrange a false D or C&C and do a stock search. once finished just clear order or let it time out.C&C better as sometimes deliveries come from unexpected stores LOL

    In the olden days I used to have 3 mini concertina folders of MOCs which went everywhere with me, one for just Mr !!!!!! MOCs and 2 got general ones and it used to take hours each day printing off pdfs, cutting out and organising everything (one of each MOCs, all in date, all different) but in those days we only had to go to Mr !!!!!! - none of this going to sainsbobs for tonic water and then Morribobs for free cider and then 20 mins at home struggling to get apps to accept and upload receipt photos ...

    I just have a plastic pencil case now for general MOCs, one for !!!!!! MOCs and one for sainsbobs till spits and that's about it ....

    so now when a new MOC comes along its a time for great rejoicing :)
    My !!!!!! only got the mags this weekend and I wished I'd collected a few more than I did, soon run out of Ocean MOCS ...

    I have never understood why you would want to go public on this - but then, Martin did with an aspect of this on MSE and it hasn't done him any harm :money:..

    She has an impressively organised stash too :cool:.

    I would say getting up at 4.30am to search for deals is a tad extreme ... though having been instore in the middle of the night I am in no position to judge :).

    There is someone on one of the morning programmes that also has gone public - for example, offering advice like contacting companies to compliment them on their products (Jordan advised this too?) to get vouchers. I may be missing something., but I would suspect that will have short lived success if everyone suddenly starts doing it.

    It is low cal and tastes good to me. shouldn't worry about use before dates too much ( as if that has stopped the Elite ).

    On that tone, if you aren't worried about BB dates, there is approved foods, currently £6.32 for new customers on TCB. Also deals of the day. Just have to watch the weight limits.

    sounds very good

    I've not played with approved foods yet, really need to pay more attention to it the amount of cat food we get through ...
