    Morning all

    A quick question.

    Officially I can renew my passport from tomorrow as my passport then has 9 months expiry on it - but there are only just over 5 weeks before we are away again

    Please can I ask has anyone just renewed their passports very recently and if so how long is it taking?

    The other alternative is to wait until the end of August when there is at least an 8 week gap which in theory is a sensible choice but I am watching out for a few last minute offers in September so I will have to stop living in hope.

    also the autumn hols final payment is due on August 1st but they wont issue the e tickets because the system wont accept my passport numbers - by the time of the autumn hols my passport will have less then 6 months expiry on it, decisions, decisions ...

    That's mad. You can book flight 365 days in advance, so 3 months before you could renew your passport. I don't see how an airline can refuse to release e-tickets before they have your passport number!
    O noooo......we are going to have a woman as Prime Minister.....:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I seem to remember we have tried that in the past.

    I saw a post a while back about Uncle Ben's ready cooked rice. I saw them on offer in T, some were 2 for £3 and others were 74p each. Hope someone can make a glitch out of it.

    In other news, I am at the terminus in candy crush. :)

    Afternoon bubbs

    3x Jordans Country Crisp Chunky Nut (500G) £6.00 £4.02

    bubbs.I bought another 3 of these today.I meant to reply to you yesterday.

    You can buy 4 now for £8 where as before asda reduced the price 3 would have cost £8.08.

    So for the same outlay you get an extra box.The apg would be smaller but they would still work out after apg at £1.21 each because tesco price is still £1.34.

    Thanks, i was refeshing apgs , i get for my sister , this week she has had gravy granules, mayo, those cluster things, i dont even like them:rotfl: , baked beans, i like to get her stuff too:D

    I've been buying the air wick air fresheners to get the cinema tickets but they are not something I will actually use.

    Just seen that finish dishwasher salt is £1.60
    Finish rinse aid half price £1.75

    Detol hand wash £1.40


    I know these are much more expensive than the prices the elite usually pay but if I buy these products then at least I will actually use them.

    I bought some of the detol wipes today with 80 in a pack. £2 a pack is good enough for me when gives me a huge cimema saving and I have run out since last glitch. £6 for 2 tickets. Think it is over £11 down this way per tickets so excellent value plus wipes I needed. Oh and the detol surface spray at £1.50 for 750ml bottle.

    It is all subjective as some parts of country cineworld is cheaper than others but I prefer to buying heaps of chocolate for sweet sundays and having to hunt for the packs with the promotion.

    I was upset in A s today as nothing up with offer on rice so I didn't buy as didn't have time to queue for refund if offer had not gone on at till. Still this does glitch every so often.

    Collected parcels from post office and a lovely well boxed bag of Granola for me with a £1 off coupon:j
    Collected orders for myself and N from mr shoes and some walkers from the poundshop which still had the spell and go codes on.
    Will enter all codes then dgd can consume at her leisure.
    New pillow and mattress protector from A paid for mostly with wombles.
