    Wasn't a bad filler when compared I think to £1, but won't be buying them again, even if they are organic. I don't have an M & S so can't splash out on 4 tiny bananas lol

    Price of bananas very topical this evening
    :( Mr 3Dogs 3-7-12 :( 3Dogs'Mam 31-3-13 :(

    My eyes have been well and truly opened!

    I always thought extravagance was buying more than 1 :eek:

    I still remember a time years ago when I went into A with the wife and DD1. Mrs aau1 put a small bunch of bananas into the basket and DD1 fiipped out saying "no, mummy. Just one banana" I've never been so proud :rotfl:

    Morning! I love the Magic Roundabout!

    Greetings from Sunny London. I have been off work all week with Laryngitis and a bit worried the we would have to cancel this weekend, but thankfully feel a bit brighter this morning.

    Got an Airbnb. Super cool flat near Kings Cross for much less than Travelodge. Would feel like a proper hipster, if I didn't feel more like a croaky old granny!:(

    Despite feeling v. Poorly yesterday, managed to shuffle to A to stock up on snacks for DS2 who is pet sitting....... Success with sharpies, sweeties and Colemans sauces. Thank you to those of you who post your shops. Very helpful. :A

    Happy Bank Hol Weekend!

    Runs in...

    These were 70p in my Superdrug yesterday, in both the light and medium shades. :money: I think from my receipt they went through buy one get one half price too. :D

    Also Original source lemon and chilli shower gel was finally 23p bottle in my local, still scanned 56p last week when I bought the blue ginger and liquorice ones. Stores must have varied as was mentioned on hukd same day I got price checked along with the blue ginger one as both being 23p in another store.

    Also keep your eye out for the 50p head and shoulders mine had another one appear the Instant Relief version. :cool:
