    Oh no thats crazy how can the not find your booking, are they looking in to it? Could you not call the other school and see if they still need somewhere?

    DH and I were looking at maybe putting up students in our new house as it's a lot bigger and we have the space, would you recommend it? But we dont speak any languages only a small amount of German!

    I can defo recommend hosting students if you are after some extra cash. It's easy work and easy money. The only downside is the loss of privacy. I don't speak any other languages (only the very little French I remember from school) we manage fine though. It's amazing what can be translated through gestures lol. If that fails then there is always a translator app :rotfl:
    Summer is always the busiest time for hosting so if you register with a school your sure to have lots of interest x

    I still can't log in. I notice an absence of any links to their site in the emails, do we think that is ok?

    Notice the OP has been moved to discount codes and someone has mentioned no padlock on payment page. I did see one but not the usual one I see. Have had a payment confirmation from WorldPay. Not heard of them before. :o

    I've heard of them TS, pretty sure I've used them before as well x

    RL has been a bit overwhelming so I am out of practice with shopping. The BNI chicken korma and rice is showing on MSL as £1.90 in SADA and 3 for £5 in Morries. Is it comparing like that please? Especially if you get the deal with the sides as well?

    SADA chapatti is showing on MSL as 2 for £1.50 at Mr T. Does anyone know if that is comparing at that please?

    I can also see SADA oranges extra large (5) comparing to Morries at 99p. Does this work in SADA or Mr T please?

    Anything else worth getting apart from Carver ham, which is on my list already?

    Thanks in advance.

    I think we've seen them comparing from both A and T. Although, particularly A on this I feel, it can be a bit temperamental from week to week. For example, this week(end) - totally off on a different thing now - A's Shortbread biscuits pack is returning N/A vs Morries:(. (Well, actually ':(' is a little severe as I didn't buy them myself on any comp yet.)

    I've bought these oranges in M itself though(:wall::question:) - I'm doing a lot of banging my head:rotfl:, just using that to suggest maybe what precedes that symbol is the 'wrong' thing to do. I bought them in M, because of how erratic the APG comp. can be on these items, and as I was mixing them with other items in M's mbuy - either some of them may have been unavailable as equivalents in A so that I couldn't have got the overall 'offer' in A, or else the mix and match mbuy is where the manual inputting into the system hasn't ventured:(. It just seemed to avoid all the bother and is a fairly decent offer in M anyway (ignoring the point that the Conf. Pears packs have been down to 50p each at their lowest sometime before - that's been quite rare though, about two or three times a year).

    Just to be exact:p:D, it's now the BPBV pack of Oranges that I find to be in the '3 for £2' M offer and the 5 pack Extra Large were last week.

    Glad that you enjoyed it. My DGD loves 'Go ape'. Did you try it? You should have arranged to have a picnic with with Tinyshoes, Dodo, marrbett and Truffle Hunter.

    Good evening

    Not been around today. Kids, holidays, work, life........

    I haven't been able to catch up properly either. Just wanted to wish 3010 massive good luck for your interview. It's time you had a break and I have everything crossed for you :)

    Do one of us need to be home all the time? We don't mind the loss of privacy:rotfl:, we've mentioned it in passing to people we know and get "ooo good luck hang on to your belongings!" Which is a little off putting.
