    lovely meeting of the nw covern today and we didnt cause to much chaos in waities.:rotfl:

    Oh wow! You make your own! :T

    I love limoncello and am coming to an end of my stash from Gibraltar :(

    But I do have a surplus of these:

    Which I used to make my "medicine " - but have enough medicine to last my life now :o

    So do you think I could limoncello from this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks :A

    I may be leaving this thread soon...
















    Then again, I may not:rotfl:.

    You don't know whether I am leaving it or not. So, what was the point?!? (In other words, what was the point of even saying something like that in the first place?)

    Confusing.

    Don't leave. It is good on here, I like it because I don't heave to be constantly on here, no pressures, and everyone posts whatever they want.

    I've just bought another item with an APG voucher in A and, surprise surprise, I didn't have to change my item to fit the voucher value and wasn't able to buy a further item with the voucher due to an even lower price, as the item I had planned for is unchanged in price in A:(.

    I'll try to stop banging on about this but I did have to laugh at the price on the McCoy's Ridge Cut Crisps that I saw on an aisle end in my A just now.

    Now £1 - there's your even lower price on them:rotfl::rotfl:. £1.50 before, for the muggles - now £1!:D Making no saving on the 3 for £3 mbuy that many of them would have gone for before. Bet they still buy in threes on £1 straight each or, now, have such short memories they don't even remember:rotfl:. They never paid attention in the first place. Obviously well dear:eek::eek: now the glitch involving them ended on 3rd October.

    Ah, the aisle end - obviously trying to make people buy them off a prominent place, but we know better.

    Now simply at a normal, regular, rotated, bog-standard offer price that other stores put on and nothing better than that. There seems almost always to be £1 elsewhere, or equivalent, or they go from £1 to full price and back again (occasionally cheaper) elsewhere so are almost sure to be back on same £1 again soon - I think we have the tactics of all the supermarkets now laid bare.

    For the avoidance of doubt, this is the one we need:)

    I got a few today:T:T

    I walked past the stand once thinking it was empty and then realised that the inner support had fallen over. I found a few lurking at the bottom:D

    The trousers I bought are a regular wide legged cropped but being a shortie they fit me like normal trousers. :D

    It's easy to get carried away at those prices. I have got a pair of jeans for DD1 one size bigger than she usually wears for post pregnancy, jeans can be very hit and miss on the fit can't they but I decided at £3.49 instead of £35 it is worth the risk. :cool:

    Also a swimming costume and bikini for DD2, which I am chancing the sizing if not they can go to the charity shop, will keep Mr TS in work somehow. :rotfl:

    Reminds me apparently there are some really difficult to spot fake £20 notes in circulation. The charity shop got stung with one the other day even though they have the ultra violet pens. :(

    Pleased you got some good bargains TS

    Will the 20% off on our sparks card apply to the 90% off making them -10%:rotfl::rotfl:
