Ds2. Was dead chuffed today on the recycling lorries over Xmas they got a lot of gifts and money which he did not expect from people they empty for, but when there was cans he let the other lads share them as he does not drink, so they got him a case of coke . they are such a great bunch of lads . they managed to win the wedding in a castle for one of their friends, and are always happy to help out if needed. He feels really lucky to have got the job even though it is zero hour. X

That's lovely rhos. x

Not a new store, opened in 1990. I have often googled that sort of thing with no luck so well done!

I thought we would visit a large one when we went to London and Essex at christmas but the only shop we went to was a tesco metro walking from fenchurch station to the under ground .. We did get some bargains though, we got twin refillable pack bird and but feeders for 80 p . my little pony blindbags 30p wind screen scraper 10 p and a few other bits . luckily did not have to far to walk :rotfl:

May be of interest from B&Q.

Bosch 18V 2.0Ah Li-Ion Drill & Driver Twin Pack 2 Batteries £67 (with code stack) @ B&Q diy.com http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/bosch-18v-2-0ah-li-ion-drill-driver-twin-pack-2-batteries-67-with-code-stack-b-q-2595783

The thread has code stacking x3 on orders over £75 which may be of more interest than the drills.

... though Just wondering, why would you heed two drills? :huh:

Good evening from a womble dated today.

1x Harringtons Complete Dry Dog Food with Lamb & Rice (15KG) £23.50 £20.00

Pretty expensive dog food:rotfl:. Why not have the Webbox Beef (if your dog likes beef) 15Kg at £8 in M?

I realise that it's a womble:T! (Unless :(they bought other stuff that compares to much more expensive at M and lost any APG amount? Hopefully not.)

1x ASDA Grower's Selection Broccoli (360G) £0.40 N/A A v T,S and W
1x ASDA Grower's Selection Broccoli (360G) £0.40 £1.00A v M

:(Looks like T's Brocolli description has changed to show a higher weight (I don't know whether they really are that weight or whether it's been changed to make it more close to the real weights which vary). And that the APG system hasn't yet identified the 'new weight' T product:T - it's within weight range, indeed closer to the A weight now. However, it's 'good' for us as T is much more expensive. ("Much more" being used in my technical sense of a price at a competitor in respect of which A is more than 10% cheaper.) The M comp. is, sadly, correct - in fact it has rounded down to 50p each: M is now 47p on its non-whoopsied broccoli and the lower weight puts the price up. No comp. against anywhere favourable.
