    I wouldn't think it will be long before giftsets will start to dwindle and disappear from shelves as we move closer to Xmas....So if you want it....I would go get it sooner rather than later....Hopefully in the new year there will still be 3 4 2s running on other things...:D

    Good advice - as we move towards Christmas the comparisons on giftsets will start dropping off the APG as well as stocks run out, so buy while you can.

    When do the reduced T offers finish, do we know?

    Many thanks

    looks like i am taking my alcatel a3 phone back nfc worked first day not worked since and no-one seems to know anything. Have tried in about 5 shops with no luck

    Have you tried taking the back off and pushing it back on again? I suspect I had not quite aligned mine when I put the SIM in - the little instruction sheet shows you pushing the back of the phone (to the left of the finger print scanner if I recall) to activate the NFC, as there is a sensor on the back cover that then links into to a circuit on the phone as well.

    It may not solve it, but it worked for me after I had issues.

    I'm currently totally absorbed in watching the green dot of the Amazon delivery driver going all around the village and still not calling here!

    Is this a very recent womble? Because I am looking at that Dairy Milk Oreo, which I believe I saw at £1 in M yesterday (not good enough to note it down:rotfl:) but I don't remember it from before - that's not to say it wasn't £1 on Monday as, with me thinking the price is not good enough, I wouldn't notice it anyway, unless it just happens to catch my memory, but the fact I don't remember it before then suggests it may have gone to £1 yesterday in M. (I think I was right on the Poligrip product, that seemed to go to £2.34 on msm for the first time after I noticed it - I wasn't sure if it could have been on that price already before then but with me failing to notice it - it seems from msm I noticed it immediately and the same thing might be the case on the Oreo Mint. This looks like Monday.) Are we on Monday or yesterday on the APG?

    Mind you, Sesame Breadsticks - why 80p and not 89p (or 85p or whatever higher price I saw)? Did they go to 89p on Wednesday or are they 80p and I have an incorrect price? Or am I thinking of some other type of breadsticks? Whatever the situation there, I wouldn't have the information noted anywhere (unless they had been on 50p offer or something like that which we 'never' see - and were noted by me as being an item that was now off and I am to delete, they weren't so I have nothing noted down - I would have to note literally every item in every store if that was not the case and that would physically be impossible to do) but I am just recalling my hazy memory about them or maybe some other kind of breadsticks in M. Is this Monday and they have gone up on Wednesday, with a big label put in front of some of the stock in my M which is why I have even noticed them at all, in order to say "no, it's too high" - wondering now if M has put the price up and then done this to try to draw the item more to people's attention:rotfl:? It could just be whatever I saw was always this price - but I don't remember any 80p.
