We are looking at either 2 doors on the front as French doors or 1 with a side window panel each side. Then gig handles. We are having black winnows and doors so nee silver handles.

Black. They will look fab. :T:T:T:T

We went for white sash windows... but i maybe scratching my head about the doors for a few more months:rotfl::rotfl:

I still have all Ms I've seen, that have Ambrosia Devon Dream (260ml), showing 50p for it. I also have two of those that also show the 50p on the comparable Evaporated Milk now (hooray - even got stores now seemingly correct on both:T:rotfl:). However, I'm finding it roughly 50:50 split on Ms showing 60p on the Evaporated Milk and Ms showing the 50p offer label. It's enough showing full price to give me concern (and therefore I'm mentioning it now). The Evaporated Milk tin may be hit and miss on the APG therefore, if their experience is anywhere near mine. (Yet I had mbuy tomatoes tins on similar situation, when they were on several weeks ago, and they did work - so no problem, although I reckon the APG may have had a close call and gone to the mbuy on a tied result across its stores.) I've got about half with 60p and half with 50p (from the 14 different across Monday and Saturday) - maybe best to buy in Aldi after all:rotfl:.

Ambrosia Devon Dream should work and compare to 50p M if lots of Ms have that - and almost certainly will do so if every M in the country that has the product has that price! It may well be that 50p is really the correct price:rotfl:.

They are some incorrect SELs on a lot of things about elsewhere though, with one store or another incorrect. I was carrying the Walker's toffee over at 70p from store to store (it's a "buy in M" so not to worry) on Monday until I finally came across, at about the fifth store, the offer label of 63p until October and then I decided it was still that. There's also some dodgy prices on the Snap with Embrace razor, and incorrect SELs on some of the ones that are really off. I had £10:eek: in two stores on the Snap with Embrace before finding a £5 offer label store. The stores with those on the clipstrips I don't trust - they don't seem to change those labels very well and I come across clearly (to me) out of date prices showing: it's possible (but unlikely) APG could get £3 on the Wilkinson Sword Intuitions as there are still some old SELs on that - I believe it is £6.41 (and I have most Ms at that). Even the Spa Breeze and Women Bikini razors, that are the ones on £5, which is the offer price for those, I do come across full price SELs and Ms seemingly incorrect on those. There is a lot of a difference between full price and offer price on those!

Elsewhere, I think some incorrect prices will have got into the APG for M from Monday as their stores tipped the wrong way - although we'd hope, despite all the incorrect SELs, that on the whole more Ms might be right than wrong in their sample and most prices would work*. It's also been a Monday of usual chaos and upheaval again, although there weren't in fact that many changes - as far as I know:rotfl: - in M on Monday - a few offers ended. Hopefully things will settle down by today. I think they should probably close all their stores for an entire day just to give the staff in each the ability to change all their various (different ones for each store) incorrect SELs to correct:rotfl:! (They just clearly can't keep up and SELs remain unchanged sometimes for months - or they just miss some out and never realise. They can't just see from looking at SELs that they are incorrect like I sometimes can:rotfl:. I think they'll all trying their best and doing a great job but it's just never-ending and they just can't manage it all!)

*You saw me with the Cow & Gates at full price earlier though. It will be different items with the APG no doubt, something totally else that I have no problems at all with in the stores I've used. I still have an about 50:50 split on the Cow & Gates - from other stores now! - on Monday so they could go the wrong way if the APG happens to have four that wrongly show full price. The Cooked Beetroot, I hold no hope out for, certainly on my stores. I now have 83p about seventeen times and 47p just once.
