Evening peeps.
Had a good day today. Been to a few charity shops to have a look around. bought a few bits, but the best one was a pair of light brown casual shoes from Clarks, brand new at only £4.99. :eek::D
Whilst looking around in Wilko's, found this in there!
He's George, lives in the store and is soooo cuddly. 0 -

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

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

Any news on your step son and his dismissal?:o
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+
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.0 -

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:)
