    Anyone able to get the quidco game to work on their phone? I can see the tile for it but it takes me to the list of companies that are part of the promotion rather than the game.

    I couldn't yesterday and it was really bugging me so I tried again later in the day - in the end I had to go through the app and click on support to go to the desktop site. Two PDE's yesterday eventually and 10p/PDE this morning. It's faff but less faff than booting up my laptop to do it that way :rotfl:

    I stopped briefly at Aldi today and they got me buying something when I did not intend to do so. They had some 5L Cherry Screenwash at 39p. Bet all you savvy lot - you're far better than me - will tell me I've overpaid:(. I did stop at M though (no paper or pen in hand:o - embarrassing that I have paper and a pen in hand that is) and saw some other 5L Screenwash (therefore exactly the same thing to me regardless of the flavour or lack of) at £4. Bet someone will tell me, from seeing another M, that my price label was inaccurate and behind it it's cheapet than Aldi.

    I don't know what the thing is with flavours of Screenwash. It's not as if you taste them or anything. And it's hardly as if you go round sniffing your windscreen either:eek:. I noticed later it is labelled "Summer Screenwash" so that will be why. Obviously they can't sell summer screenwash in winter because people won't buy it even though it's probably exactly the same product inside as any "winter" screenwash. If I do have to (or I am supposed to) use it only in summer or there is some reason why it is any different, then I am clueless about that.

    I found my M had the Scallops Half Shell telling me they are 50p. Assuming that's correct, they would always have been a buy away from A item anyway as there is no equivalent online at A which could be formerly compared. As far as I can tell from the SEL in my M, the Savers Jaffa Cakes there are still 30p. Aldi's version is showing me 31p in Aldi (I can't find that in M:rotfl:). It seems that A hasn't put its SP Jaffa Cakes on rollback in order to price match a competitor. I just wanted to satisfy myself that it wasn't a case of no benefit to buying in A; however the muggles in my A have now cottoned onto its version and have taken all the stock off the shelf by the time I visited today:(. They will have to be given a couple of weeks (I can give no longer I am afraid!) to eat themself silly and buy far more than necessary of the product before they stop buying the thing and allow me to take another pack. Unfortinately I have someone here that gets through loads of them:(:rotfl:. I think the more you buy, them the more they consume so maybe I should starve them off them or buy only one pack and no more:money:. The trouble is it's not really saving money to buy just one pack as that 27p has to go somewhere else and there's virtually nothing 10% cheaper else on which it could go:(. Actually it could go on whoopsies couldn't it?

    With SP Jaffa Cakes at 27p, M will have to bring its price down. Besides nowhere near those old 24 pack McVitie's that once or twice during a particular period got a price of 1p.

    Good morning, re screen wash I believe the winter one has an anti freeze so lower freezing point , I use the winter one in the freezing months for this reason, we had to defrost the car yesterday:eek:,

    Morning peeps.

    It's supposed to be pleasure:rotfl:

    Her Instagram footage is unreal. A huge arena with soooooo many people. I told her to make sure she knew where the fire exits were before she sat down. Do all mothers think like this?

    Or is it just me?:o:)
