    Afternoon all!

    Just popping in to say I had a job offer this morning! :j It has really made my Christmas, it means so much to know that I have a job to go to in January, so now I'll really be able to properly relax and enjoy the holiday. They've pencilled me in to start mid-January so I'll have a couple more weeks off than I expected, so I'm going to make sure I treat myself and do some baking and crafting and fun things for once :D:D:D

    Congratulations :T:T

    Ooh cheap loo roll, just what I need! :D All this being home all day has depleted supplies. I need to get back to going on works time :rotfl:

    Was it near the Christmas decorations etc, or was it in the actual food hall please?

    Mine was in the food hall. Not quite cheap enough to really stock up but I got 3.

    I have just realised, with the Lidl cheese and the Edam combined, I have over 5kg of cheese in the fridge :eek:

    Congratulations, you must be over the moon :j:T

    Thanks, I am! Best present I could have asked for, as it's fewer hours than my last job, in my own town so no massive commute, and in the type of role I wanted, rather than my backup plan :j

    Thanks! I'll be happy with 16p a roll, especially for 3-ply as it's often only 2-ply that's on offer.

    I darent count my total, I've just bought the Christmas Day cheeses too, although some of the caramelised red onion one didn't quite make it to the fridge :rotfl:

    our local M&S is a Simply Food so it's just one big food hall. No idea where it might be in a larger Marks, sorry.

    absolutely, 16p a roll for good quality 3 ply is a really good bargain IMO :)

    I certainly stocked up :rotfl:

    I probably would have, but then I had to consider that I will have OH moaning for as long as it is in use :rotfl::rotfl: It feels good quality and the packs are certainly heavy :eek: If it goes down to 10p a pack then I will tolerate the moaning :D

    Can I ask has everyone's purchases for the Apple sauce, stuffing and gravy granules tracked on quidco CS from last week? I've just checked and mine or hubby's aren't showing under the clicksnap activity. Not sure If I should raise a claim yet.


    Just catching up on the thread and was going to ask the same question as my purchase has not tracked either.
