    Evening folks :wave:

    We're going out for my brother's birthday tomorrow after Star Wars and he says he doesn't want to go to Beefeater again :eek: Is he really my brother?!? :rotfl:

    He wants to go to a restaurant that is part of the Mitchell and Butlers chain and I'm struggling to find discounts I can take advantage of :cry:

    Is anyone in the AA that uses the 20% off? I was wondering, how strict is the need to show your membership card?

    TIA
    Sorry, can't help with that one. Maybe you should make him pay!!

    Yeah I could try that :rotfl:

    I think I'll buy him a single share in Mitchells and Butler for his Christmas because you get a voucher booklet with 12x20% off voucher sent to you every year (unfortunately it's sent every December so he'll not see much benefit for a while :rotfl:)

  • Good evening everyone

    VT, you are very talented, it looks fluffy to me :A

    Nip into Lidl on my dinner break today to use up the 40% off mocs from the christmas mag, they run out on the 18th Dec
    I bought 6 of each item, so 6 seperate shops on conveyer and told the cashier, all 6 shops are mine and I have mocs for each transaction, she said thats ok because you can re-use the mocs :D she only took one set off me and scanned it for all 6 shops then she went to give them back to me, they had dropped down the back of the till, she was very apologetic, I said no problem I still have 5 lots left :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: this was at the Accy Lidl not sure if other Lidls are doing the same
    I did notice on the way out that they did not have any of christmas magazine on the stand

    Always a nice ripe brie :D, I love smoked applewood too. A really crumbly vintage cheddar. Usually something mild with fruit in, either apricots or cranberries, don't mind if it's a wensleydale. We usually have a nice bit of Stilton for Mr TS, I;m sure he was talking about getting some of that one you just mentioned with our xmas veg box delivery.

    I usually end up with loads more cheeses though with flavours, or more unusual ones from whoopsies though. :rotfl:

    I dont like cheese.

    I looked for the umberellas in SD today but no luck:o
    99p is enough to pay as I leave them behind everywhere:o

    90p my dear, 90p :p. I have a habit of doing this too :o
    I went into a largish superdrug yesterday and was faced with about 10 of them! Satisfied myself with buying 3, the SA did comment they were a good price :rotfl::rotfl:

    The funny thing is I still have a few of the really cheap umbrellas we go from Amazon a while back :rotfl::rotfl:

    Excellent :T
