Well I have just printed my last wombles. What a relief. Now I just need to get them spent this weekend. I have a whole Saturday to myself so Asda self scan here I come.

M&S Sale now up to 70%.
If anyone finds out when it's going to be 90% please shout loud.
I am ashamed to say i have gone up another dress size and need some clothes that fit until I can manage to loose some weight. Don't whant to spend a lot, because i need to loose loads, just seems like too big a challenge at the moment. Got a letter to see Dr and Nurse about blood test results (don't know why, yet) so can feel a major telling off coming!

A big challenge Sue but it will start with small steps. Would you attend WW or SW if you could get it prescribed by your GP. Sometimes it's hard to go it alone:o

Might have to frame this one.


The last and a lovely one too:T

Thank you A:)

Why are we clapping? Should be in mourning:rotfl:. The death of the APG:eek::D. Nice one to have though (quiet on the Celebrations as M really have it at £5.00 - glitchy until the end for you:rotfl:).

As for my shoppers tonight, it mostly doesn't matter whether there is an APG or not, as there is no helping some people. If I had money for each time they don't buy enough items, I would be rich by now. The next to last one I've managed to get from one of my stores - they have bought lots of the same baby milk on 2 for £18 that I would hope were at least on the same offer elsewhere, together with... exactly 6 other different items:(. The other receipt - 14 items, duplicates:( - side plate, side plate, dinner plate, cutlery... hopeless, just three grocery items:rotfl:.

I am better elsewhere though - not quite on the last one but got a helpful £2.40 - against Sains., unfortunately some expensive Kellogg's Crunchy Nut 750g boxes - £3.49 vs more expensive at Sains. taking a few pence off me - should have bought Asda's own:p. And a forty odd pence elsewhere - I need 15p now for some more socks:rotfl:.

Mind you I have spent 15p cash tonight! No-one has left me with any change, and they've gone out and probably don't have any either. I had a £10 note but needed a quid in case I had to separate some trolleys. So I decided to pop into the nearby Sains. just to buy a banana. I picked the smallest banana I could find. Got to the SS - 15p:eek: - Sains. a bit more expensive. Clean forgot my Nectar card as I wasn't spending £1, but should have taken it in case the wombled points recently would have triggered some coupon for me. Never mind, will have to buy another banana at some later point. Anyway, the less often I have points added or use the card, the more they might want to give me to keep me there. I think that was around several years ago sadly:(. Any points offers won't be worthwhile anyway, as they will see me spending more money on groceries than the points I would get, even doubled or tripled. And they won't be off fuel, which I would buy anyway (whenever S not much more expensive than elsewhere) as my shoppers didn't buy fuel. I put my £10 note in. Machine gives £2, £2, some small coins and a £5 note in change:(. I mean - how many ways are there to change £10 without giving a pound coin? So I had to go to a till and ask if they would change a two pound coin anyway, which they did but just another delay on my way to A, in case I found some misprice and needed to do a comparison shop. I didn't find any misprice, so I have saved my bigger voucher that I had aside in case that happened but just spent another one on A cheaper items.

Oh, btw, if you have driven back from A, make sure you check everywhere in your vehicle in case some receipts have fallen down the back and in any event check all your pockets thoroughly. You can bet that, despite me doing such searches and being unable to find anything, some receipt will appear tomorrow:(. Or maybe is it only me that needs to do this sort of thing?

I have two further receipts to check, that am I aware of:rotfl:. Maybe a third, as there is only one after 9pm. Doesn't have enough items anyway, so just a system check maybe, if it's still online by then - several duplicates of canned fruit:p. The last ones could be shopping done up to 10pm as the system may go by GMT, although I wouldn't have left a comparison shop of our own to this late.

Loads more extra time on our hands.:T I could spend an hour on a Saturday morning planning comparison shops:o and that's without everything else. I feel more productive already:rotfl:

You have all month (assuming you didn't claim the vouchers before today). With my last 40-odd p, so far - may be useful if there are any Hallowe'en items on reduction in my A on the day itself:rotfl:.

Small banana unfortunately:(. Must be very thin, and too weighty - at Sains. 78p per Kg price:eek:! Would probably have been 13p or 14p rounded down elsewhere. Hopeless SS machine though:rotfl: - funny now, but didn't like the delay at the time.
