Having to catch up with all the work you have not been able to do.
Not learning new stuff as the training is carp, and not what you need.
Having to chat to people you dont like/know.
No free cakes, just a couple of crap sarnies.
(Guessing you can tell I dont like development days.)

Oh come on....I know you love that old ice breaker when you have to name one unusual fact about yourself:rotfl:

I've got some more wombles from today but not sure whether they are helpful to post? Should I just do the highest one or the one vs Morrisons?

All of them are potentially helpful but when were the shops done? We may be on the Wednesday collection now for M, so if they were from earlier in the day and checked earlier, they might no longer give current information. That never stops people posting them though even in the last 24 hours after a new price collection when they may soon become out-of-date:rotfl: but they are always good to see.

It's not necessarily highest that shows the most useful items - although a high one is likely to have several items with good comparisons, you can sometimes find the odd better item on a receipt that gives less or even gives nowt at all - as something a lot cheaper elsewhere may have been placed on a shop where lots of other items were much more expensive at the same competitor. It's all a matter of opinion as to what items are 'better' though and depends on what prices you think are good at a competitor. There may be something with a large price difference between A and elsewhere that might therefore look good as it's giving a lot of APG. However, it could just be that A is massively overpriced at the moment compared to the competitor and even the competitor price may not represent a very good deal as cheaper options than that, even if they give little APG or aren't available on the APG, could be available and be better.

I usually pick out the ones where there's a biggish difference in price but anything could be helpful robyn:)

Hi, first post to this thread, been lurking the last two days!

If your still looking, Wilko have half price pix n mix on at the moment, you could fill their smallest cup with just mini eggs for 50p!

I see a share on Facebook of someone doing this and I thought it was a good idea!

Hello welcome to the mad house, we often use to get together in the mornings for coffee and cake, but PD has gone awol but marmie is often around with the biscuits, but as you've probably noticed the wine starts flowing in the evening and TM sometimes puts on a lovely buffet...DM you will see lurking round borough market cheese stalls contemplating which cheese to bring to the party, zippy pops by with the morning papers from waitrose whilst Izzeyb is up 1/2 the night scouring msm, CF supplied the salad from the vast salad mines but sadly hes now retired . we all have our fair share of hospital beds and aches and pains, laughter and woe...but keep to the rules, no codes allowed on this thread as miss bubbs knows:p then you will be as mad as the rest of us :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: and then you can join in snaps daily quiz

I heard this lady being interviewed when I was on my way to work this morning. She's now 105 and still driving. She said the only accident she has ever had is when she reversed her car into her lawnmower

Apparently there are over 265 people over the age of 100 still driving
