That solves my mystery of the selection boxes, mhoc. There was a very big sign by CS announcing only 10 selection boxes per customer, I wondered what that was about.“All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well.”0

I suppose the Mars ones for £1 are a good buy - but the others on that list looked a bit expensive.
But the only time I've bought selection boxes is when they were on cashback just the once so I am clueless“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.

£30.45 shop
£6 cond spend moc, £1 soup moc, £1.50 cc coupon, so 21.95 at the till.
Then 90p back from CS - DTD as rtc twin pack of tissues went through at wrong price.
Then £3.51 has gone payable from CoS - they've given 2.51 for a 2.39 pack of Ooola
And £3 will be refunded when I return the Marigold locally tomorrow (it seems you need the TMF flashed on the wrapper to claim successfully)
So net spend will be £14.54.
Within that I've also saved a bit more as the big store stocks EV soya milk whereas locally they've replaced it entirely with the own brand version at 26p more per carton. So I got 21 EV cartons in this shop, saving 5.46 over coming weeks.
Nice shop
I have oola envy - sadly our store does not stock them, nice chap checked the stock thingy, much wailing and gnashing of teeth ...
Nigella did a chocolate mouse on the TV the other night, loved the mini glass tea cups she put it in.
But what put me off was the uncooked eggs and the olive oil in them - uggh“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.

Can I be rude and ask how much you charge for your cake slices? probably not as much as John Lewis
And what happens to your left overs at the end of each day - the things that wont keep until the next day?
Errant son sometimes brings home cooked chicken that would be going in the bin from his hotel and this is cut up for our gang, our foxes and the walk by cat.
Our own cats now get very over excited when Errant son comes through the door last thing at night as they assume he has chicken in his rucksac“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove.

Dont worry. Think there will be quiet a few children on their own. They can all look after each other
My 2 will be the rowdy ones at the back :rotfl:“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you, --will invite you to add something to the pleasure of others, --or to diminish something of their pains.”0 -
not sure if this is the same one : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra6cNVvTsiI
Thank you for the link. I had spent 30 mins at customer service last night while 3 people tried to find out if it qualified for the double up. The consensus was, after 3 phone calls to various people was that it is included:j Of course this morning, having changed points for double up I find it's not included:(
So I need to make a decision.:)0 -
