    Has anyone risked buying President butter this week?

    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/Shopping/FindProducts.aspx?query=PRESIDENT+BUTTER&store=Tesco

    I was thinking of adding it to the !!!!!! v sada list but on mysupermarket its just showing the unsalted version so now I am wondering if there is even a salted version any more?

    We are at the critical stage with butter - I think if there is any doubt I will wait and use up some small value APGs
    When it compared well before a v t a didnt sell salted hth

    Not sure where Bear is today but think I heard him scurrying around in the attic a little while ago. I did mention to him last night in passing that I had a polar bear or two up there so think he has gone to round up the troops.

    Anyway in his absence here's a pastel I did in class today.

    Oh LEJC.....my heart aches for you. I know ALL of it is so so hard but birthdays and Christmases magnify our emotions. Thinking of you and sending you a massive hug. x

    Just noticed it needs a bit of tarting up in lower left hand corner as white is not very fluffy!

    Had you not said, I don't think anyone would have noticed. That would make a beautiful Christmas card. You are a very clever lady:)

    Had a walk out in my lunch half hour to a couple of nearby pharmacies. There is LOADS to choose from if you have a good one. Most pharmacists are now switched on to marketing their shop as best they can.....squeezing the last penny out of it.

    I was spoilt for choice juju:)

    I'm going back tomorrow with Mr TM's card to get chocolate and jelly babies:T
    250g jelly babies for £1 and the large Cadburys bars are £1 too.

    So it's worth a look peeps:)

    Plus they were lovely too. At the first one I asked if they did American Express and the man said " That'll do nicely madam":rotfl::rotfl:
    In the second shop the SA told me all about the Small Shops promotion and told me I would get a Fiver back:) She also said that the supplier they deal with, guarantees to be cheaper than Teskies on a couple of different lines each week.:T

    Plus you get free carrier bags....strong ones too:rotfl:

    Thanks to op who mentioned about waities, today i got......... 2 pigs in blankets the honey and rosemary 2 cocktail sausages, 1 Sausage meat, waites mag, paper and tea paid £6.55:T:T

    Was me Bubbs! Glad to be able to offer something back which was of use.
    I was in Waities by 8am as I was convinced that they would run out of supplies at those prices :rotfl:

    Half price party food tomorrow, but the prices are extortionate and I can't find any on my picks, so I think I will give them a miss.
