    I have £2 off at T's and and A, and £5 off at S's. Both JC Chard Pinot Noir
    I also have £1.50 back on JC Merlot at S's

    Its odd that we are all getting a different selection of wines on COS.

    I am wondering now what is on OHs samsung COS.

    I am thinking that I got the merlot for all of our COS so all of the accounts should have the same follow up offer but it seems not ...

    Well done to your DS on the theory test pass Sarah....how are you feeling about him taking lessons...?
    I remember pacing round for the whole 2 hours that DS was out on his first one convinced that it wouldn't go well only for him to come back and say he'd had a blast with the instructor!

    it's one of those turning points in kids lives where suddenly you realise that they are finally spreading their wings....and all you can do is watch

    Morning :)

    Need some positive vibes for DD1 and her BF. They have finally found suitable flat they can afford to put decent offer on. It was marketed as offers over so they were told they had offered well with their first offer. But with it being one of those best and final offers today who knows what the other 2 parties will do so they have upped another £5000 :eek:

    I have absolutely everything crossed for them. :A

    that is a very big price increase. They will be on tenterhooks all day now, unable to settle to anything else

    I am dreading my gang getting to the house buying stage

    Good luck to them TS, hope they get it. Sending positive thoughts to your DD1 & BF :) It's so hard starting out on the property ladder these days isn't it. My DD1 is saving to buy a property. She has saved enough for a deposit but there is a huge gap between the mortgage she can get plus her 10% deposit and the prices of suitable properties :eek: Think she will be living at home for a while yet.

    The prices are ridiculous as they live in the London commuter belt. They even have a decent 20% deposit which I know would probably buy half a property in some areas. :eek:

    It's so hard for them really feel for your DD, we have DD3 at home and I can't see that changing ever at the moment. :rotfl:

    Morning.

    These multibuys are ending today. So IF still going through on multibuy (check offer comes off) and IF the unit price doesn’t drop after update (don’t rely on the SEL), may glitch.

    Offers ending don’t appear like they used to :( Not sure what time updates are but for anyone trying, I wouldn’t try too early (say 7.30).

    Coca cola £1.66 each or 2 for £2.00
    https://groceries.asda.com/search/coca%20cola

    Unfortunately a Morries comparison/offer :eek: 2 for £2.50.

    APG £1.07, so 46½p each if comparison picked up.

    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/asda/bundle/661175_1629477.html

    Flavours that should compare to Morries, in case link disappears after update.

    Coca Cola, Diet Coke, Coca Cola Cherry, Coca Cola Cherry Zero, Coca Cola Caffeine Free and Diet Coke Cherry.


    Old El Paso Meal Kits – the ones on this link marked 2 for £5.00
    https://groceries.asda.com/search/Old%20El%20Paso

    Some on offer in Tesco and Sainsbobs at £2 each, some Morries at 2 for £4.00

    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/asda/bundle/661186_2036290.html

    Here’s what was in the offer in case the link disappears.
    Old El Paso Burrito Dinner Kit £3.18
    Old El Paso Crispy Chicken Fajita Kit £2.99
    Original Smoky BBQ Kit £2.99
    Roasted Tomato and Pepper Fajita Kit £2.99
    Fiery Fajita Kit – Jalapeno & Tomato £2.99
    Old El Paso Extra Mild Fajitas £2.99
    Old El Paso Chilli & Garlic Rice Kit £3.18

    £2.99 ones, £1.19 APG, so £1.31 each if comparison picked up.
    £3.18 ones, £1.38 APG, so £1.12 each if comparison picked up.




    Baxters Beetroot, Halva Bars, Indo Mie Noodles, KTC Lemon Juice & KTC Vermicelli all ending but Asda already cheapest or no comparisons.

    Yes it is but you are looking at between £280000 and £340000 for 2 bed flats. :(

    I don't like this best and final offer business like sealed bids.
