    Anyone else watching Redrock at lunch times?

    Absolutely brilliant. Some continuity errors but still gripping

    Coach Trip.... all very young people :eek:

    Good morning! I'm watching it on catchup -- trying to plough through a mountain of ironing. Am down to the long-sleeved tee shirts so that tells you how bad RL has been recently!

    Slightly shocked yesterday. Was doing a muggle shop including some booze for work and had time to scan stuff with MSM. Without very much effort, S was cheaper than A! What has happened when I wasn't looking? Has A got more expensive or S cheaper? The only things I didn't put on this shop was jelly -- the old fashioned stuff you make up yourself.

    9 items (7 different) on your receipt qualify for comparison Asda Sainsbury's
    1x Asda Chosen by You Pineapple Slices in Fruit Juice (432G)£0.80 £0.75
    1x ASDA Chosen By You Pear Halves in Fruit Juice (411G)£0.75 £0.75
    2x ASDA Golden Pineapple Chunks in Pineapple Juice (227G)£1.20 £1.00
    1x Asda Chosen By You Custard Powder (300G)£0.85 N/A
    1x Asda Chosen By You Prunes in Fruit Juice (411G)£0.75 £0.75
    1x ASDA Light Olive Spread (500G)£0.98 N/A
    2x Anchor Extra Mature Cheddar (350G)£3.00 N/A
    1x ASDA Extra Virgin Olive Oil Litre (1L)£3.50 £3.50
    1x Mars Fun Size 13 Pack (250G)£2.79 £1.50
    2x ASDA Extra Special Chablis Domaine de la Levee (75CL)£22.00 £20.00
    Comparison total (compared products only) £31.79 £28.25

    Note that the cheese is a good price.

    I also bought the Grill Mates stuff and should get £1.05 back from COS but it didn't show up on the APG. Was n/a in S though so I'm not bothered. Just as well I always get extra items and not just the 8.

    APG for £6.37, so very happy given that I just over spent £37 (had a wombled APG for some pennies) and will get £22 back from work.

    Maybe I'll get my mojo back!

    Going to Man Picc station today so unless I get badly caught up in traffic, will see if the W meal deal is in store and report back. It's only a small W though, so may not have it.

    The Schwartz herbs and spices offer looks to be ending today and could glitch if there are any good comparisons.

    Good morning all...

    Lovely overnight photos....congratulations to everyone.

    Sarah...I love the owl but I am in the camp that thinks wild should be wild unless there is a reason to humanise that would be for the animals benefit....and if you have the knowledge and capability of giving the owl a safe secure and happy life going forward then I salute you....
    He looks a very timid chap at the moment(i'm guessing its a male but it might not be!!!)...and I hope that as time goes on and he thrives you will be able to post us some more pictures of progress.

    I remember a couple of years ago when the Co-op were selling these off at 34p pack. I got lots for someone else. :D
