Tried for the 'buy 2 get 2 free' offer in Tesco - unfortunately the Mars comes back N/A Same weight but slightly different description - avoid this one if you're trying it. The other 3 should be fine if bought in a set of 4 that all show.

1x Smarties Milk Chocolate Easter Egg (122g) £1.00 £1.50
1x Mars Milk Chocolate Easter Egg (141g) £1.00 N/A
1x Cadbury Creme Egg Medium Easter Egg (138g) £1.00 £1.50
1x KitKat Chunky Easter Egg (140g) £1.00 £1.50

I was hoping someone would post up when it was the last day of a multibuy offer on easter eggs so we could do a oat-so-simple....

I stayed with the same provider too, but got £20 off when I gave them a quick call to see if that was the best they could do.:j

This is the job I've been procrastinating about since Friday, looking for energy providers - I seem to have lost about 4 days ...
But now the main computer has been spring cleaned and hopefully it wont sulk, crash, freeze or randomly shut down then I can make a start while Errant son is sorting the bike and the MOT out tommorow ...
I stayed with Scottish Power last time as I couldn't get more cheaper except with unknown companies and I Like their website ...

Easter weekend is 30 March - 2 April this year.

Seems early.

The kids all break up on Maundy Thursday for 2 weeks rather than a week each side as normal.

Not helpful but when I was younger if a couple had been together for 5 years or so and then got married or had kids the conclusion drawn was that this was an attempt to change things that weren't working and that it would be followed by a breakup - the break up generally considered to be a positive thing, better happy apart than miserable together.

Well done £20 not to be sniffed at. :money: I got £50 off doing that the other year. So I should try again really see how I feel. Trouble is it's never really a quick call is it even when they have all your details they have to go over them all again.

I do all that sort of thing in our house the ringing and arranging, god help Mr TS if he ever has to he won't have a clue. :eek:

That would be nice michaels but not looking hopeful. Asda have priced the majority of their 3 for £10 eggs at only £4 each (they used to go for ridiculously inflated prices). We would need the offer to come off at Asda and a simultaneous good comparable offer elsewhere.

I feel your sadness, the wedding must have occupied them for so long and now they are stuck with the day to day, hope they can come through this.
Also heartening to see she still looks to her mum for advice.

Yes if anyone should make it through its them, they have gone thriugh so much - they met in the final uni year, juggling uni, part time jobs and the social life. They took time before moving in together but they then coped when s-i-l that first summer was posted south for 6 months so Eldest child was on her own all week and he had 6 hour drives north on a Friday and back on a Sunday afternoon. THey managed while s-i-ls mum was at deaths door and it was most of a year before she was fully well. Then gran died - they were both very close to her. And then Eldest child was seconded to London for 6 months - travelling back and 2 at the weekends before they finally both changed jobs and moved south . Last year they got married and bought their first place together so now things should be calming down, things on an even keel enjoying home life, work and their social life but sadly it does not seem to be happening.
You just feel so helpless, you never want to see your child in pain, even emotional pain ...
