as I said
Already told you
A phrase used to refer back to something you've already stated, often when repeating a point or when the listener seems to have missed it: As I said, the deadline is Friday.
It can sound slightly impatient or emphatic, reminding others that this information isn't new.
Sometimes softened to as I was saying or like I said.
