SD - Thank you for tights OP

99p Ginger bread men bath fizzers
20p tights
49p hats
50p Aussie

My SD had 3 basket loads in the window of 49p items - there were a few eyebrow combs/shadow applicators sets - very useful if anyone does teenage stockings, pamper packs or home made personalised stockings.
Other than that it was the usual non event in my store - they have special SEL clearance hangers in mine - one RTC was still most of £5 :mad:

I'd be glad of advice too please. I thought we didn't need a trigger as long as we got 11 of one sort and 1 of another? And is this v S please?

thank you.

You dont need trigger yogurt for 11 + 1, only for mixture.

But you can buy one if you like it. Just don't buy 11

Sure I saw a post the other day of 11 + 1 comparison against Waities, Claire1972 put a yogurt shop with her biscuits against Waities

Thanks. Now I'm even more confused as to the expiry date. I guess back to 30/4 rather than 31/7 shown under 'how to reedem'. Heads up BH!!

Afternoon Elite :wave:

I had a good drive down to Portsmouth, left at 5am and got here 8.30, including one fuel stop and one food and loo stop. Chatted to my friend Kit for 20 m8ns and then went to lie on bed for couple of hours. On my way down I realised that I'd forgotten to put my meds box in case but no way was I going back for them. I carry spare paracetamol and codeine in my handbag so woukd be ok for them, and could pinch a few hayfever tablets off Kit, but no way could I do without my 'nutty pills as I get I'll within a few hours of missing taking them. Either sickly I'll or rock bottom depression. So I rang 111 for advise and was told local pharmacy could help. Luckily I carry my latest copy of repeat prescription in my coupon wallet, just in case so pharmacist was able to go online to see my GP BHS medication records and do me an out of hours prescription and provide 2nd with my necessary medication. Worth noting, and we'll worth carrying your repeat prescription form with you at all time as you never know

Good morning.
Hampy congratulations.
They cancelled my op yesterday I'm not surprised really as its been all over the news how many they have had to cancel.

I had an appointment for minor procedure under general anaesthetic, with overnight stay as alone in house, booked for 23rd January and was expecting a call. It came on Thursday but instead of postponing it, they said specialist wouldn't be in that day and could I come in on Wednesday 10th January 😮 so going in this coming week 😕

I am wondering now if its what I was buying in MandS - they have a very good £6 meal deal on offer until the 9th (main, side and dessert but no wine) - most items freeze so I got 2 yesterday in my small simply and 3 today in the bigger mands.

I only had a couple of AP £5 but quite a few AP £3 mands - yesterdays worked fine but todays were a nightmare.

So I don't know if the over 30% discount rule applies or not ...

For the balance I've been using a mands credit note which expires in March, quite a big one so I've been slowly whittling it down.

A couple of the desserts will feed more than 2 people - full size apple and blackberry lattice pie - easily 4 slices so you could freeze the surplus ones.
Also the peach roulade slices thinly and goes well with some vanillas ice cream.

I've been getting the potato croquets and rosemary potatoes - croquets go well with sausages or even with breakfasts.
There is also a salad bowl if you have a fridge full of random flotsam and jetsam to use up.

For the mains there is a full size chicken and veg pie which would serve 3 and a pack of 4 breaded chicken fillets
