    Morning!

    10p for me too :j

    I did a good bit of money saving for someone else this morning. There's a bloke gets on the same bus as me most mornings and buys an all day ticket. The bus company have just put the fares up and if you pay cash on the bus, you have to pay more :mad: He gets off the bus at the same stop as me and goes into Sainsburys so I stopped him and told him where he can buy a weekly ticket for £8 a week LESS than he's paying now :eek: He was very grateful :D

    And then I found sanitary disposal bags in S for 20p :rotfl:

  • Good morning.

    Last night dh got a big youghurt out of the fridge, as I was going to bed i says save the lid, he replies, okay.
    This morning.....No sign of the lid, this was our conversation.....
    Where's the lid?
    What lid?
    The lid off your yoghurt!
    In the bin!
    I told you to save it
    What for?
    TM
    Whats TM?
    Truly madly
    Why does she want my lid?
    Teatowels!
    You're mad!

    I then read marmites posts
    And 12 (or 20 I can't remember)little robins flew into my basket and I took them home safely
    DH,
    What does that mean?
    Loo rolls
    oh good its not just you....you're all mad, and he went to work

    Good morning all

    Di I tend not to read the post to DH for this reason. I remember when it was all talk of snakes (cobra beer) and it had me stumped for a while :rotfl:

    Today I need to be productive Meeting friend next week and have promised her stuff for the church fayre The problem is deciding what fits the spec. Have no problem with the numbers promised. Blind bags will cost £2.50 so no great expectations of a WOW gift My cost will be about a £1.00

    I am thinking about a selection from a nice Christmas(red and white) tea towel, a mug. teabags or coffee, and biscuits or Christmas slices OR a shower mitt, shower gel and body cream

    Cant make my mind up about a condiment hamper for the nursery as a raffle prize Lots of 20p condiments with no idea what else to do with them TBH I am always pleased with a "win" regardless so may be overthinking this. I also have Minion sets that were a silly price in SD during the summer

    Sarah, Snap and JTS you are in my thoughts

    Bubbs I got my MRI "feet first" and it was for my hip Hope it all goes well

    Enjoy your day and save or spend lots of money Your choice :)
  • Good morning all, cloudy but mild here.

    Nectar seem to do things slightly strangely with the double up. On mine it has redeemed what would normally be required for that spend, and then they have refunded half of that. Had me going this morning, what I could see was "you have earned X points", got excited thinking it must have been something I had forgotten about :(

    No idea of the first, but if you have Windows 7 or 10 then you can use the "snip" tool to print just the voucher.

    Put " snip " into click on the search box, click on "snipping tool", click "new" and draw around the voucher, then you have the option to save or print etc.

    I'm up to 70p worth of winnings on the Q game now :rotfl::rotfl:

    Loo rolls still scanning at 36p in my local Superstore

    Only got one, just to see if still cheap or if store had corrected price

    Seen a few more reports now on FB of stores doing a price correction

    Can't believe how long this has run
