Glad I saw this was going to test later. Can I ask which Fb group it was on please.

It's someone who posts in a FB group Claire but not on MSE. Also he messaged me rather than put in on group and said that it was ok to share his shop.

Today I bought myself a calendar called 'Ladies Who Lunch,' in the faint hope that this might have some effect on my subconscious as I use it through the coming year.

Because it's about time. And at 63, this 'Woman who Works' thing is all wearing a bit thin, quite frankly, and Seren is getting a bit tired of struggling. It all feels worse in the winter, I think.

Anyway, I now have 2 jobs, the hours from Job 1 got reduced again, so I took on Job 2. This is a good thing, as it's computer work that can be done from home.

So what I want now is for the prospects for Job 2 to increase, so I can politely tell Job 1 where to go.

And then I'll figure out the Ladies Who Lunch bit.

Soup.......

Just checked a receipt from yesterday. I bought 5 for £3 assorted Batchelors cup a soup, apg shows 1.07 v 90 S. So returned an unexpected £1.30 on a £3 spend.

Evening peeps.

So 34p a box! :money:

Not sure what gift cards look like at M&S but couldn't you take say a £10 gift card (if they do these) to the check out and pay for it using a £5 and a £3 droid and £2 cash?

Even better if you could then ask to top up the card and pay for the top up using droid vouchers....



The CS is at Mr T not SADA so I don't think it is an APG thang but a brand match thang hence the need for separate baskets - please correct me if I am getting it wrong?

Ah, I had misunderstood, so my apologies.
However, unfortunately separate baskets on this won't work to compare against W for the Kettle Bites as TBG does not compare against W. Therefore it would have had to have been only a shop against M - that actually might slip in today as I think TBG collects prices on Thursdays:D. However, they may update quickly, on the same day, so it is probably over now - may have been working between the time of my original reply and your reply to that, but now probably not:(. Might still be the large Kettle bags, but Kettle Bites have gone to full price in M unfortunately. If you try to target Tvs M on the Kettle Bites now, it could be getting CS off T's £1.50:( or, even worse, getting it off M's higher full price if the shop overall, of which they are part, comes out 'best' vs M:mad:.

EDIT: It may now have to be separate shops, one for Kettle 250g vs £1.50 M and one - open to Northern Ireland - for Kettle Bites in 3s vs A 3 for £3:rotfl:. Don't the Kettle Bites, if you have an A and a T equally available to you, work best on the APG without the CS with the Tom Ketchup trigger vs W? You mention £1 and 50p CS so TBG vs 3 for £3 A = £1 each and 50p each CS makes them 50p each. However, the high individual price of the Kettle Bites but the full price comp. on A vs W works out at less than 50p per the three items bought (2 Maple BBQ Kettle Bites - M mix and match may no longer work if APG updated to current M prices - and the Tom Ketchup). In A, it's pay 3 for £3 (for 2 Kettle Bites Maple packs and 1 Tom Ketchup trigger) and get £1.98 back = £1.02 for the three items or 34p each. Works out better than T even without the CS.

It is really happening - That Sister had her PEG put in today

Beginning to believe she will do this :A

Snap, good luck to your sister, wishing her all the luck in the world that her treatment will be a success.

Staff in Velindre are wonderful, nothing is too much trouble for them.

When i was there in October, ITV were there filming for a programme due to be broadcast early next year. Hope they didn't get me on camera :eek::rotfl:
