Lidl visited this afternoon.
The app came up with £2 off a set of three interlocking storage cases making them £7.99.
Used them to better organise the contents of four, out of seven, 2.5 litre really useful boxes full of cycling bits and pieces. Larger items had to stay in the other three really useful boxes while the rest of the bits and pieces are better arranged.

ee, we tried a WiFi printer (Brother iirc) blooming aggro all the time. No substitute for a cable.IMHO...

The Epson inkjet prior to the HP laser worked fine on WiFi. It's been the last 6 months that the HP had played up. Not just being awkward to connect but then throwing up various error states. When it did work yesterday it ran out of paper but gave an incorrect message of having a paper jam. Implies something internally had gone faulty.

It's been a mild and occasionally sunny day here chez Casa Reynard, and we seem to have escaped the forecast rain.

Slept well, though it took me ages to drop off, and I overslept massively as a consequence. As a result, the chores were zipped through rather quickly so that luncheon would be more or less on time.

Had a lovely luncheon of a tiger roll filled with ham and the last of the ossau-iraty cheese (well, from this particular selection anyways), a tangerine, a pear and a lovely

I have had a quiet afternoon so far - am currently sat by the fire in the company of Madam Boo, and the parental is in her armchair doing sudoku puzzled. Shortly, I shall make a nice pot of soup. Other than that, supper will be a "use up the random bits" affair.

Morning spent playing housework catch up, then off into town called into Lidi to find much of the bread was reduced. Due to short date however who ever did it got a bit carried away. Found some well in date had been included so bagged two loaves for less than cost of one.

Sometimes they'll shift overstock on sticker, not just stuff that's short dated. Or it could be something that's end-of-line. Either way, a good buy is not to be sniffed at.

That's very true , I'm not sure how Lidi works out stocking levels , they seam to be happy with high level of wastage pre store. I'd not be impressed with the level at my local one. If I was the manger after all it all comes off the stores bottom line.

Can't say for Lidl, but certainly my local Tesco tends to have overstock if there's an offer on, if a line is new and they don't know how much to order, or when they're moving stuff around to put in festive / seasonal lines.

I pick up in-date ham and bacon regularly as a result, and for some reason lately, eggs, on sticker.

I'd wager stocking levels is some weird combo of software, store manager and diktats from head office.

A case of explosive diarrhoea?

A horrible wet start to the day. I had a door knob/lock problem to sort out for my parents this morning.

It dried up in the afternoon and I got about 25 miles ride. Nice and bright, but very cold. I expect frost tonight.

Now out for my usual Sunday music gig.

Time to feed the cat, and then it will be time to feed me.

There was the time Sainsbury's thought they had solved the issue. Everytime an item was bought another was ordered. Snag was if something was out of stock so it remained out of stock.
