Would trainer socks do? I found packs of 3 in the sale section in S yesterday for £1.25:)

I'd actually meant for the Quidco bonus, but that sounds like a good buy regardless, thank you.

.....I'm assuming here that Sainsburys isn't on Quidco! Of course I might well be wrong.

"Over on the Pampers Squad, we run regular campaigns where parents get to try our newest Pampers Premium Protection nappies and nappy pants for free (that's right we said FREE...).

We've just launched our latest project and we want you to join in! If you make the team, we'll ask you to road test Pampers products and then go forth to bust nappy myths with your parent pals, post pics on Insta, and share your thoughts and opinions with us – so we can make your favourite products even better!

Fancy joining in?"

Absolutely not:mad:

My utility supplier emailed me too today saying that my tariff is going up. I did a comparison and they're still the cheapest though so I'll just have to lump it.

No robins for me.

We had a bit of a palaver this evening. After work my husband and I went out for dinner, planning on cycling home afterwards. After a lovely meal and a glass of wine we walked back out to our bikes, and the key snapped in the bike lock. Uh Oh. So there we were, 12 miles from home at 8.30pm with two useless bikes. We stood there for a few minutes wondering what on earth we could do, as it'd be a very long walk and the last bus for home left at 7pm. Thankfully we have some lovely friends who live in the same town as us and after a quick phone call he jumped in his car with a pair of bolt cutters, cut the lock, and drove us and our bikes back home again. So we were saved! I'll be taking him a nice bottle of wine round at the weekend :-).

Marks & Spencer is opening its newest simply food store on Thursday, November 15, at 10 am sharp writes Christopher Carey…
To celebrate the opening, exclusive golden tickets will be given to the first 200 customers through the doors of the East Dulwich shop.
The golden tickets include offers for £5 and £25 ‘spend today’ vouchers, as well as one £200 gift card and two £100 gift cards.

Aaaahhh. Is it on a virgin train line? The 1000 pts offer ends tomorrow. I need to start re-building my balance for next year!

Glad it ended ok - sorry you got to miss your cycle home though

I am seeing Enstroga cheaper than OTFM and this based on the current OFTM price (I think, not sure if the mse comparison builds in the price increase announced today or not) let alone the new higher one (this is for leccy only).

So I drove to Surrey and back today. :eek:

3 Ts on the way there but no time to stop as had to make an appointment.

Hit rush hour traffic on way back so dithered as to whether I should stop at first one, decided I was already stuck in traffic so stopping was not going to make a huge difference.

Well it was a superstore I had not ventured to yet....

My hopes were high when in the household aisle I passed boxes of robin tissues, I thought hey Christmas has come to the south of france at last.

And yes Ho :xmassmile Ho :xmassmile Ho :xmassmile



I bought one pack to start with to make sure scanning 36p, and you have never seen me run so fast back to the car to deposit it and back instore, hoping no one else would have beaten me to the rest of the nest.

Finally found some today - but scanned at £2.50 (same as sel)
