    Evening all hope everyone is well.

    Can we freeze muller fruit corners please ? Tia xx
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    Im wishing nanny was around:D

    Called in at Laura Ashley today to look at the cushions and the ones I liked were £35 with 30% off........£24.50

    I wouldn't be rushed and came home to check the online price....down to £22.05.

    I've also found a code for 10% off which works on sale goods. I'm happy to get them under £20 but wondered if anyone's aware of higher discount from anywhere. Click and collect us free.

    Now I just have to decide which colour to but red or blue.

    Here's the blue

    I have some a bit like that with red i got from t's for about £6:rotfl::rotfl:
    Can someone check my calculations please.

    ShopMyMum offering 6 HiPP for price of 3

    !!!!!! have them on at £1 each and 5 for 4, so pay £5 for 6
    You possibly get £3 back from ShopMyMum, net cost £2

    Now Sada are 85p each and 5 for £3.00, so £3.85 for 6. So BG for £1.15

    So possible cost for 6 could be 85p ( 6 for price of 1 )

    Good for conditional spends or buying for foodbanks, as they appreciate baba food.

    Buy 6 different and only 4 other items needed for BG

    No good asking me , i can never work it out:rotfl::rotfl:

    Apparently, he was a stray that walked in one day and decided to stay!

    Shoes were my size, air cusioned, bloody perfect. I think they got their pricing wrong. Easily worth £75+ :D

    He walked before being pushed. Despite them wanting to come back, he said no. He's now looking at a job as a live in manager at a pub in south Wales. Massive pay rise, so all is good.

    The fruity bit would be fine but unsure about the yoghurt. It might separate when defrosted.

    They last for ages beyond use by date though:)
