    Also in sainsbobs on the reduced section we found a complete box of these

    http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/ocado-compare-prices/Breakfast_on_the_Go/The_Primal_Pantry_Paleo_Energy_Bar_Almond_And_Cashew_45g.html?TrackingCode=131.cMq-FRDEPkSnT57B1bQgUw

    FOR 20P EACH :j

    I was having a dither but fortunately OH just said put the entire box in - there was 25 of them which is £37.25 worth :T
    - we paid £5 :D

    They are a dense texture like the fruit bars but not too sweet and very satisfying. OH tends to be too idle to make himself a proper breakfast eg to put cornflakes in a bowl in the morning. He just has a muesli bar - at least these are a bit more healthy than the Granolas he usually eats, and cheaper

    also on COS if you have not got your Emmi Caffee Mr big and skinny for £1 cashback according to mysupermarket its now £1.50 so 50p after cashback - a good enough price. Also you can buy 2 per COS account which is even better.

    It would make a good filler item if you are trying to find enough items to do a comparison shop and/or trying to get to £30 to use a conditional spend voucher :D

    We really like these, got addicted when we had the free MOCs, must be years ago now ...

    also the bahlsen orange are on offer for £1 - very addictive biscuits - 50p cashback but don't buy them in a comparison shop

    Sorry your in pain, hope it gets better soon.



    Last year I reversed off my drive into a parked car, just didnt see it at all, until I hear the "crunch", it was a neighbours car. I reported it to them straightaway and the insurance company. I damaged mine quite a bit but not a lot of damage on theirs. My car got repaired theirs, didnt, as wasnt enough damage to warrant a repair.

    The insurance company used an approved repair centre, and it doesnt invalidate your warranty on your car at all. My car was less than 2 years old aswell. Hth.
    After my other car was written off, obviously i had to get a new one, wasnt brand new but new to me, i was parked outside a customers house and someone did that to me , had to have a new door:eek: but his car was badly damaged as if he hadnt of knocked on the door i wouldnt have know as was passenger door

    well I waited and eventually Whiskas casserole went down to £3.50 in sainsbobs - 50p more than mr T :mad: but I think this is the best sainsbobs price so after the MOC it was £2.50 - better than nothing I suppose.
    Sainsbobs also sent me conditional spends for £20 shops so at least that was another £1.50 off - soon got to £20 with cat food £3.50, £4 zeo, 25 reduced primal bars for £5, tiramisu for £1 I had a 60 point till spit for, 4 bags of reduced frozen blueberries for £4 plus the usual odds and sods :D

    Sainsburys loves me this morning or at least they love my cats.

    They sent me a sachet of new Whiskas casserole - this will take some dividing into 3 equal portions.

    Also 3 MOCs :j two are for £1 off Whiskas casserole which is a gob smacking £4.50 per box at the mo so I might wait and see if it goes on offer next month.
    The other is for 75p off Whiskas creamy soup which we have had a few times and its very well received. Its £3 this week or certain flavours are so I think I'll get this one.

    On Greenjinn they sometimes have cat food which is how we got to try out the cat soup so its another reason to hold on incase the casserole goes on the list - got until mid May

    Hiya TM (and everyone else of course:D)
    I'm in my usual holiday spot :D 84 degrees today, gentle breeze, blue skies with the odd white fluffy cloud, waves lapping on the beach below the balcony, fresh picked bananas in the fruit bowl, idyllic and I love it. Pics available if anyone is interested?
    Regarding your geraniums TM, I'd get rid of them in the bin. Not worth risking contamination that may possibly affect the other plants.
    Hope all are well. Just going to have a read and catch up.
    N x

    Thank you N:T

    I had already decided to bin them. It wasn't worth risking. My existing geraniums looked a bit "old". They've been resurrected year after year and it was time for new ones. So a fresh start:)

    Your holiday sounds fab. Have a great time:)

    :)

    And we are home.

    Fabulous day, had Plus Bus on our train tickets so we visited T K Maxx & GAP outlet, Primark & Krispy Kreme :D before visiting time.

    My sister is doing really well.
    Asleep when we got there, I did have a text at 3.15am to ask me to bring Arnica :)
    It seems she has slept all day :o Anyway, nurses woke her up to move her into a ward with nice window view & a breeze.
    Amazing 'wound' full of staples & a drain.
    I do have a photo but not for the squeamish ;)

    Off out again now for Charity Bingo for Air Cadets :)

    If all else fails - read the instructions...
