    Good for you not buckling to her though, its your first day should be able to do what you want;):D

    If she was all lonely and sat looking at 4 walls could understand.
    She will be going downstairs to common room for her lunch at 12-30.

    If I had been off last Wednesday I couldn't have gone she went Blackpool on a day trip with her friends.
    Didn't ask me before they booked if I was off.
    So it works both ways :D

    I think there's a comparable at M to A's frozen Thin & Crispy Pepperoni Pizza (330g). However, msm is showing Carlos Generously Topped (their words not mine, I have no opinion on the matter since I haven't seen the physical product) Deep Pan Pepperoni Pizza (400g) - so more weight, presumably more fattening as consuming more:rotfl: - at 89p.

    However, the M product (to A's) is 313g so it misses out as T's comparable is 314g and therefore price versus T should not be adjusted as 'badly' as that against T. If even a single gram, or one penny higher price at M than T or somewhere else, makes M not the best comp. then it does not get to the M list. You may think differently, particularly since it may be better to compare against M even if at a penny higher price on a shop and thus get up to 8 items than buying 8 additional separate items and comparing against elsewhere (which would overall cost more than just getting the shop against M). Actually here, because of rounding, the M comp might work out the same as that vs T - however, I have not gone into that.

    I was thinking about cjj's job application...



    You are now a posh caravaner.... we have one at the land, but I am not living in it... it has more damp than a swimming pool!



    We bought our house in 1993, it is a very small cottage... you definitely got a bargain at £500 x

    Wish it was £500!!:eek::rotfl::rotfl: times a few
