Oooh, I love those. Won a box of boxes quite a few years ago, still have one or two knocking around. Not intended for it but use them for when I have a sore throut, they last a while and keep it moist.

Didn't see anything reduced in our SD, but didn't look in the sweet section.

Exactly what I use them for

W sent me £4 off £40 vouchers again - when have ai ever spent that much? Never! Your promo technique needs refinement. Why not send me vouchers off smaller value shops (or larger discounts) to entice me then ease me to higher spends ...?

Last year I was getting £8 off £40. They have certainly cut back. :eek:

Ah yes Boots, was it time of the vitamin glitch? I still have a box of vits floating around. Will be way past their BB

Don't know why I have never got any Ricolas before. Do you recommend them zippy?

Never paid for any but recommend for sore throats

they probably feed the dog before they feed themselves

A couple of years ago after a hospital appointment I sat and had a coffee outside a coffee shop in Durham. Random bloke kept talking to me it was election time and he was spouting rubbish about political parties that didn't make sense. I nodded appropriately and than pretended to be busy with my phone.

He was drinking a coffee (in a takeaway cup) from that coffee shop, but kept trying to give me muffins and shortbread from Greggs that he said his mam had given him, I tried to politely refuse, but he left them on my table. when I left I just left them there.

Shortly afterwards, walking up Silver St, there he was, in a doorway, on a blanket, and yes, there was a dog!!


I didn't realise that I looked that rough!

No Argos cashback via Quidco.
Couldn't even find a Zeek gift voucher I might be able to spend in the near future!

Argos is on kidstart - 1% cashback.

Kidstart takes an age to become 'payable', but you do get cashback from John Lewis, next and boots which don't seem to be on the usual sites, also there is a £5 referral bonus :T:T

You just need to have or know a child (under 18) that you want to save for and you can link payouts to their account or your own.

I have 296** so even more than the OP but Marks don't love me any more - the only offer I have this week is £5 off a £35 food order - that is it, nothing else at all

The jewellery could be good for Christmas goody bags if you do manage to get the offer but otherwise - well there are some very cute odds and ends on Amazon that take about 3 months to arrive from the far east which are probably the same quality

They don't love me either, only food offers here too!

Oops, I must be getting 'gobby' again, but I'm caught up now.

As I have been doing my volunteering today the grumpy one is cooking......

It would be so much easier to do it myself!

The number of questions,moans and grump is unbelievable!

Can he find anything though?
My grumpty git will only cook if I fetch everything out for his - even things clearly at eye level in the fridge or cupboard. Every thing has a set place in the freezer and fridge but even so he wont get them out himself.
If he starts work on the salad before I am ready (which is a 2 person job to get everything cut up and ready) he will only take a few things out of the fridge at a time, In this weather opening and shutting the fridge door a dozen times does not do thermostats much good - I try and tell him ...

I don't think I will ever be forgiven for that one

In all honesty I am still in shock myself

Is that one of those constant hot water things? They sound rather useful.

So are we all, in shock!

No, just a normal version of water heating - my expectations are very low so I am rarely disappointed!

-( I am trying to be covert as its an open thread and Argooose probably know that we discuss them at regular intervals )

Your reputation will go before you forever - every freebie and offer is now judged against Enterprise and the massive TV :rotfl: You need to put them in your signature - Yes I did get a massive TV for free but I am still loveable :rotfl:

Thanks SW42 for the picture.

I saw the garnier moisture bomb in a couple of stores for £2 too but I wasn't sure how good that price was so left them there. I have so many SD face cream bargains.

Not as good a bargain as the loreal for sure, but not many bargains in my local so I got it anyway
