    it all seems to happen together, we lost my mums best friend (who was like a second mum to me, worshipped her as a child) just after new year while mum was in hospital, then mum passed in March never came home form hospital after going in on Xmas day and then we lost FIL in June. Can definitely say its not a year any of us want to repeat.

    Still not come to terms with any of it, so just push it away and will try to do the best for DD.

    Hugs to all of us xxx.

    Absolutely hugs to all of us. xx
    Smile :) and hopefully the world will smile back

    Morning all, can i ask what amount of apg this generates please.

    Im on virgin too for all, phone,tv and broardband. We have in the last few months had problems with all three. Last night found out that we got no house phone again!! Have just asked my sister to phone them for me, last time i had no phone it lasted about 2 months:eek: but it was quiet with no cold callers lol. Two weeks ago we had no internet and now some tv channels dont work!!

    We carn't go to sky because they carn't provide me with a phone without changing the number, which we carn't do because of dh is self employed.


    Hello Fernie,

    Doh... should have remembered to wait till January to buy these, although it did get the £5 off as total spend came to £40. Too disorganised to buy in January and wait 11 months. The Adidas ice dive Trio did take off the multibuy in-store when I bought it yesterday. If bought with the Vaseline mini makeup set, the APG it gives (A versus T only) is £6 to 10% cheaper than £3.66, i.e. about £2.71. Think it makes the two items around £2.65 each. I suppose it's decent-ish enough if the sets were £1.50 before Xmas last year but, this year, have increased generally and aren't going to go back down anywhere. That said, they'll be dirt cheap after Xmas. I'm giving them away this Xmas - must try harder to do better next time. My results from my M comparison today are due around quarter to four - doubtless I've messed up there.

    Afternoon guys :D. Sitting up in bed using iPad after my friend Kit brought me bacon sarnies and a cuppa in bed at noon, as she'd promised. First time I have had breakfast in bed for a long long time :j She is doing college prep for inspection this week, so just staying in bed for now

    Empathising with talk of sadness this Christmas as it will be my first without Mr 3Dogs :(

    The whole point was that the tins I had bought, were 4 x 185g, and yet, on the T's PP comparison, it was listed as 4 x 160g, which they compared to £4 at A's.

    I took mine back for a refund. Bought today from A's.

    In the t that I have got some in, the sel said on one said 4 x 160g but the tins were mixed sizes ie some 160g and 185g. Other sels said 4 x 185g, again with mixed sizes.

    The make up bag still showing with A & T prices for me when logged into MSM, just as it was yesterday. I've had this before, where items that only show with an A price when logged in suddenly reveal prices elsewhere when you log out. On this occasion, the item disappears entirely when I'm logged out.
