    Lovely haul at mr t. Overcharged not once but on 3 items. Went to csa who was very chatty and quickly refunded my overcharge but no sign of dtd. So I waited. She pushed my receipt a little nearer to me so I asked about the dtd. No she said it was a mistake by the staff for not sticking the yellow label properly over the barcode! I said perhaps she would like to ask the manager. At that point she said I should know better (meaning herself) and that she had worked on the desk for 30 years and walked back to the till to work out my dtd. I thought of TM's statement - did she know who I was?
    I too order loo rolls for wilkos for tcb and it has tracked. They did not have the 4 regina in stock so I had to pay an extra pound for the 16 pack but still a good deal. I was watching the bingo but thought I would probably mess it up and left it for the more 'experienced' elite.

    Can't wait for next weekend to play the nectar game. I have 2 x 250 points this week to use on petrol so got 1 x £5 yesterday and another lot tomorrow. Last time my tank had 7 miles left to empty to take advantage of the nice points.

    Are the sausages that the shelves keep being emptied for? My neighbor does slimming world and was so excited about them I'm sure they had a friend go to macro or costco to buy them in bulk :rotfl: but good syn value

    Anyone doing slimming world who is looking for sausages should try Porky Whites Lights.

    Half a syn per sausage and they are dee-lish (just tried some for the first time tonight)

    They are £2 per pack of 6 in A and well worth every penny (and that's coming from me!!)
