In Waitroses I was trying to find something to buy to use my £2 off a £10 till spit that I got last week. I was hoping that they did something useful in the meat section with a three for £10 multibuy offer but I settled on 2 packs of pork shoulder pieces instead which were £3.23 and £3.25 so at least I have 8 nice pieces - might be OK as well cut into chunks for pork casserole.

I also got 2 more the BottleGreen presse as is was still on offer for £1.50 and 2 of the Bonne mamman desserts on offer for £1.16. Also OH found 2 choc choux buns half price for 75p as we were en route to an ad hoc picnic.
As well as the usual 2 magazines, Sunday Telegraph and coffee.

The card benefits took the usual £6.10 off plus another £2 off for the conditional spend. I also had two 50p MOCs for the BG and another £1 MOCs for the desserts (from the Good Food show)

I used a £5 John Lewis e gift card (this was a groupon offer, spend something and get an e voucher so I found something for £1)

That brought the final total down to £2.39 :T

Then the till spit machine gave me another £2 wys £10 and the very nice till man said I could use it for my 2nd shop as it worked on the original totals before discounts.
I got
2 bottles of Bottlegreen presse
Bonne Maman Creme
Sunday Times
2 magazines
coffee

and used a £1 MOC and two 50p MOCs as above and the £2 conditional spend
Final total 16p :T
My best ever shop in W and the very nice till man went through the till spits he was collecting by the till (to give to anyone who needed them) and gave me a 60p off bagged salad and a £1 off chicken for future usage.

so
Sunday Times
Sunday telegraph
w magazines
2 lattes
4 bottles of Bottle Green presse (the ones with the free mini bottle neck collars)
2 twin packs packs of Bonne mamman desserts
2 choux buns
8 pieces of pork shoulder
grand total after discounts, MOCs and gift card- £2.55
(or £3.55 if you ad din the £1 I spent on Groupon)

Oh he must have been a very very nice man

My A3 camera has gone really blurry .

Should still be covered by warranty as I bought last November for AP - I wonder if they will repair or replace? Screen is slightly cracked so hopefully won't reject.

Morning Everyone

Lots of changes happening in my life at the moment. Not all bad but unsettling. Feel a bit unanchored at the moment. Sure it will setlte down.

I hope it settles down too Lizzie x

Good morning everyone. Just popping in for what feels like my monthly post :rotfl:

Got some catching up to do after a hectic few weeks, but just wanted to know whether anyone has managed to print multiple Dr Oetker coupons? I've printed two using two email addresses, but as soon as I tried changing gmail to googlemail, I got an email but when I went to print it said I'd already printed the coupon before. With plenty of Christmas baking on the horizon, some cheap/free supplies would be handy, so if there's a way around it, it would be good to know, please and thanks

Positive thoughts to those under the weather or having a tough time, hopefully a bit of autumn sun will help lift the spirits a bit today :T

I only got a couple too Arthien.

Sorry to hear that folk are having problems with the SSM vouchers. There are some great deals with them. I've had massive problems printing them in the past but all is well now. I haven't any answers but wonder if it might be worth opening another account. I have opened one for Oswald without any problems

He is - I am wondering what I can get him for Christmas

For the SS cinema vouchers, you have to enter the codes by 31/10 and use the voucher by 18/11, but do you have to go to the cinema by 18/11 or can you book ahead beyond that and "pay" with the voucher in advance?

Many Thanks

With you on that JTS health v flavour.

Also think rillettes may need a few days to 'mature'.

You are SO right about "maturing" pippo :A

I've just had the most delicious rillettes tonight - in future, I won't touch until at least 2 weeks after making

I'm boiling over and got the windows open - haven't had the heating on for a couple of days, and the thermostat is showing it's 24 degrees in the hallway
