Thanks for the welcome back , I don't want to dwell on my absent very sad time 2 close friends where poorly and we sadly lost them within a week of each other, one made me question wether I have made the right choices with ds1 been a hard time with lots of sole searching. Ds3 has also been pretty poorly morphine is now his pain killer of choice spent many nights at Bangor with him, think he has his eye on one of the nurses really .xx

Bet thats what it is:rotfl::rotfl: hope the morphine is doing its job xx

Compared at 50p on APG on the 02/11

They were 50p earlier last week, but they went to 60p in M by last Wednesday, which we are currently on, and are now comparing against 60p. I hope that this will change to 50p, but that will not happen today or probably tomorrow morning but the APG has been behind even more of late, as they have gone back to 50p in M today. Keep up:rotfl:!

I have spoken to my local foodbank and they do weigh what tesco deliver and they do get a cheque from !!!!!! per delivery
PS They love toiletry donations too, so maybe some 23p poo would be loved

7.250kg x 33.6p = !!!!!! donation to Foodbank £2.43 in CASH

So in a Gift shop, get the gift sets v T and 8 foodbank fillers £2.39 cost and PAG 30p

Probably a day worth of food with snacks costing us £2.09 on top of a shop for GiftSets
And Foodbank get cash value £2.43 for fuel etc. Better than bananananana, onions etc.

Also looks like a "Normal" shop on receipt.

Will try a shop tomorrow and post the PAG results.

Ta for this - the reminders are always useful, in a way you have to put yourself in the mindset of a family on universal credit, the money is not coming in so your food supplies dwindle to nothing and then you run out of basic toiletries as well, families must get very desperate ...

I like your list of foodbank fillers - possibly basic spaghetti and basic tomato pasta sauce as well/instead of

Thanks. Just be aware that tinned potatoes should be technically better against M at 34p and tinned custard at 17p:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. However, I am sure that is the least of your worries. Tinned potatoes are an excellent item to give to a foodbank:T.

It was dark, at the new land we had stopped to get the tractor battery. and the neighbour had lost their cat , as we where leaving I saw the cat running under some logs. So I rushed and grabbed it :eek: then realised this cat was huge with big teeth,:eek: and before I let go the teeth where attached to my arm .:o:o

What's worse the cat was shut in the garage so not really lost at all.:rotfl:

(((x))) for sal and rhosynbach.

Thanks to RF for getting us sorted out and for the explanation why the thread couldn’t be resurrected. Would never have occurred to me but makes perfect sense.

LEJC, such a difficult situation but it sounds like you are handling it in a very ladylike and dignified manner. I’d expect nothing less from you

And well done to mhoc’s errant son.

Did I mention I broke my glasses :rotfl:
