    Afternoon all

    First white jeans day of the year :j

    Finding the white jeans was easy and I knew where all of summer tops were stored as they only went into storage at the end of January after the hols.

    The problem was the summer sandals. My feet have been encased in boots since about October and don't take kindly to a change if footwear. I put the usual very old clarks sandals on which have probably got a bit loose and baggy over time. All I did was walk across the carpark to b &q and then Sada and then back to the car, then another 5 min walk into town and back and by that time my feet hurt.
    I also had my walking sandals so I changed into them and these are adjustable so I made sure these were nice and snug. We stopped at Mr T for petrol and then went up to Waities.
    By then though I knew we would have to curtail the trip, no Sunday walkies today
    Blisters on both of my little toes :(

    Has anyone managed to upload a £4 Easter egg receipt for Topcashback via the app?

    You take your photos and these it uploads into an email. It has the correct username on my email but the app on my phone aligns to my iphone/ipad email so Ive put the account email address as a BCC but I don't suppose its going to get accepted now.

    (is it just me that has one email for the main computer and a separate different email one for the ipad/iphone ?)

    Yes, I just uploaded to tcb now - it took the photo and uploaded the photo in the app, no email opening etc (I am on iOS).

    I use the same email addresses on desktop and phone.

    The superdrug trip was to get the 2 freebies for COS but even though it was the bigger of our 2 Superdrugs it stocked neither of them :( Hopefully they will get refreshed as I am near another Superdrug later in the week

    I also tried to get the free Piccolo baby food for Shopimum but our Sada only stocks stage 2 size, not the stage one.

    Mainly I was getting a few bits for the food bank collections so a bit of an epic fail then and not worth getting little toe blisters for :)

    Has anyone tried the 300g bags of Chocolate Broken Pieces from HB that on the Sel say they are Cadburys? If they are, I am not convinced it is Dairy Milk like the buttons :(.

    They do not seem to stock them in my local HB I have tried on a couple of occasions so cant help but would have loved to try them for the GC they love chocolate

    thanks to the kind person from yesterday for the suggestion re getting the Amstrel and Dark Fruits from Morribobs via the 2 for £16 offer - £10 cashback is very acceptable :j

    It also means that when it goes to the accepted stage that I can draw down on my COS :j

    Whilst I was in Morribobs which was only about 2 this afternoon I spotted the yellow label lady :T - yellow labels ate a very rate sight around here and I am never in the right place at the right time.
    I was very polite and asked if it was OK to take the items I needed from her trolley but she seemed a bit annoyed about it.
    She then scuttled off up the next aisle - our little store has a tiny fridge in another corner where yellow label items go, mostly the shutters are down on it, never seen it opened. The assistant was really weird, very agitated, asking us all to keep back while she unloaded her trolley - deep persecution complex as there was only 3 of us hovering and it was all very polite and amicable
    One lady just wanted the cheap sausages for barbecue ing and I had 3 small pies for 29p and a pasty for 29p for the freezer. I also got 2 scotch eggs 9p to go with tonights salad and some cooked chicken tikka 29p.
    Also got 3 of the Cathedrel City bags with 14 portion sizes of cheese for 29p each - these will be useful for lunch boxes this week :D
