    Fellow Taureans....You must be like me......reliable, practical, ambitious and sensual, the people born under the Zodiac Sign Taurus have an eye for beauty. They tend to be good with finances, and hence, make efficient financial managers. However, like everyone else, a Taurus also has both positive and negative traits.

    Yes I would say that’s me sensual :p hubby says he doesn t know anyone who can stretch £1 like me :D and I do indeed look after the finances, pay the bills , and sort everything out :D What are the negatives about being a taurean then and I ll see if I agree lol

    Crisps with trigger £1.50 v £1.00 = 60p APG twice, so £3 spent less PAG £1.20 = £1.80 for 3 packs or 60p each, combine this with shloop and 3 4 2 and 2 crisps seen, shloop if all different would be 4, and 2 different GS's in 3 4 2 = no fillers
