I managed to get the ATM spits today too.....thanks for the heads up Elaine but I have plenty now. I didn't dare stand and get any more as I thought I was starting to look suspicious.

From memory, don't carry a load arounfd in your wallet. The last time I did the postcodes wore off and were unusable. I think the ink tends to rub off

I need to make space in the stash room:T

Are these national please?

We ventured out and I got a curtain pole from B&Q

I added new liners to the curtains , ironed them and now they are up looking very lovely.

Another job ticked off the list.

Mr TM keeps asking if I'm going out:o He said he's fed up with doing jobs:rotfl:

I haven't even started my pies yet:rotfl:

There seems to be a fair spread of A's giving them out at cashpoints:)

You don't have to keep taking your card out just keep pressing "use another service"

Tesco Dishwasher Salt Granules (3kg) - £1 @ Tesco

3x ASDA Dishwasher Salt Granules (3kg) £4.50 £3.00

I've delayed replying for a couple of days to give me chance to get my A shopping done and ensure it compares against T, rather than post on here and have T put it unavailable or remove it from their website in order to thwart my shopping.

They still manage to do so however:mad::mad::( as they have changed to a non-comparable version of frozen cottage pie so they no longer compare:mad::

1x ASDA Cottage Pie (400g) £1.00 N/A

Now only compares against M:
1x ASDA Cottage Pie (400g) £1.00 £1.00

However, my shop was against T so I don't get that comp.:(

Looks like T have also changed their Shepherd's Pie so that will be N/A now - a shame as M went up to £1.57 on theirs and haven't come back down. T are, however, in my experience the most annoying of the supermarkets - putting items OOS, temporaily removing items from their website and putting prices back up - anything that stops me getting 10% cheaper in A! Despite which, I am probably about to say another thing is best bought at T in my next post once I get round to it.

No glitch on the dishwasher salt - just a straight 10% comp. and no need to buy three of course.

This does need removing and that will happen. It was the best available when it was put onto the list, but it is no longer.

My first attempt at picture posting with tinypic so fingers crossed.




My Frexei table lamp (please ignore shade as I will change it).

I drilled through the very middle of the bottom with a glass bit and the bottle has a lovely dimple in the edge that the flex fits through. It took ages and I've now decided that I wouldn't do that again but would go out the back instead. You can just see the flex in the bottle at certain angles and I'm debating taking it apart again and putting a silver tube (like that you use to cover radiator pipes) down the middle with flex running through. I might also remove label and put something else there. The world is my oyster (I'm getting carried away now hehe).

I've plenty more bottles to do, well I will have, so any ideas welcome.

Anyone needing new tyres?

I saw this debated recently on another thread but who has right of way.......without checking the Highway Code......

A vehicle going uphill or downhill. Ie if there's only room for one car to get through, who should give way?
