    Anyway.....here’s my story....I went to A to get a couple of bottles of JD....£20.... but the shelves were bare:o

    Fortunately it was whoopsie time:T:T

    I’d just picked up some 10p bread when I noticed that they were putting out the crates of veg......there was loads. Unfortunately the grabber was in attendance:o

    I was a bit disappointed when I checked, as it was mainly salad stuff left although I did manage avocados and mushrooms:)

    Then I spotted it.....a crate behind the pillar full of goodies......black grapes, raspberries and golden kiwis.....but the best thing.....it was just out of the grabbers eyeline.

    Yippee my luck was in:T:T:T

    I got lots of stuff and headed off to the till....not before I glanced back and saw Mrs grabber pick up her basket which I had mistaken for a cart of whoopsies:rotfl:

    I will confess TM...I did something similar a few weeks ago...picked through a trolley of reduced bits and bobs that was parked in the aisle next to reductions ...only to realise later that it might have been a prolific grabber's in my T store!

    I had seen her earlier just scooping up stuff and putting oit in her trolly with little care,but at the time I retrieved a few bits I didn't make the connection at all.

    Good morning Elite

    Off out the door going to see grandchildren :j. No time for catch-up but hugs as usual xx. See you all later :D
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    DM’s your man:)

    Did we all get our kilogram of shortbread today in Iceland for £2?

    I didn’t :o

    Sold out:o

    Do we know what tomorrow’s deal is?

    I've been really disappointed with the iceland deals...they have not had any additional stock in so unless you are there at 8 when they open there is little chance of getting it.
    I had wanted another roasting tray the other day but they removed them in favour of the cheap potatoes and replenished the day after

    mince pies today and for some strange reason there were about 500 boxes stacked just inside the entrance yesterday...so I guess they want to finish the 12 days of offers with something thats actually available.

    How did you do that? they've offered me nowt!

    Have you 'commented' rather than 'complained' to them?

    Just message them about your disappointment that 'Prime' has not delivered on time, he only reason that my DS joined was for the reliability and is constantly being let down etc. It is my DS's membership but it covers family as well. He is well chuffed at the amount of extensions that I get.

    Try again when your order is delayed.

    Hmm, my microwave is making big pops and crackles and sparks inside when I use it, may have to look into getting a new one soon.

    Sure that's not the popcorn?
