    Anyone else received a letter from virgin saying the price is going up £4 odd per month next year (thats Richard Bransons mob before you comment ;))
    Shocking thats about 7-8%

    Yep seen that letter, My neighbour popped over earlier moaning about it, Told her how I'd switched my internet to o2 in june after having cable for 17yrs and now I'm paying £6.25 a month, for all rounder pacake, great speeds

    People may remember the free bt line connection via post office earlier this yr? So i got the landline, bt that is fitted free via post office phones and have got the basic sky package, massive saving on what I used to pay virgin....8% rise, no thanks. glad i switched:)

    Spiralingdown it's nice to see you back and posting again. It seems ages since I last saw you post.

    At least now you are home you and your dear son can get some time together. Just take things easy and do as the docs tell you and you will be on the road to recovery soon. In the meantime have some (((hugs))) for you and your son :A
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    1 x Kingsmill Oatilicious Thick Sliced Bread (800g) £1.35 N/A

    Just noticed this. I actually brought 1 thick and 1 medium for a £2 multibuy (using 2 30p mocs from the sada mag). The medium isn't on sada.com (learnt that the hard way with the TPP). Not sure is it'll be helpful x
    :D Coupons = the only money we can legally print for ourselves:D

    :j A coupon for a free item that is price glitched in Mr T's to be cheaper than Sada for an apg = HEAVEN :j

    :money: total = £47.48 cc = 413 selling stuff = £23.00 Floor pennies = £5.79

    fuzzgun19 - I can see Lynx Attract for Her at a straight £5 on MSM and no A multibuy. It's showing T £4. Perhaps buy two in A and hope it compares as £10 vs £8. However, the APG usually comes back with A at the actual price you paid regardless of whether it's showing as something else on MSM. (In this case, Lynx Attract for Her is showing on MSM and, if you buy 2, it'll presumably therefore return with A at £8 - assuming the multibuy offer is coming off in-store. Anyone got any wombled receipts that show any different?)

    Of course you could get 1 Lynx Attract for Her, together with an Adidas Ice Dive Trio, but it's hardly worth it as I assume it's refunding (from £5) back to the T price of £4 on the Lynx Attract rather than £6 to £3.66 with the Vaseline.

    Lynx Attract for Her (we may as well mention it's a duo) shows £5 A on MSM. This time (strange world!) I can only see it on MSM when I'm logged *out*!!!

    It disappears when logged in. I can't find Lynx Attract for Her on asda.com, although that may be because it's OOS at my local Asda hence why it's only on MSM when I'm logged out. Whether it'll itself be a trigger, if I can manage to find it, in those areas (like mine) where it's not showing on asda.com, is anyone's guess...

    I also bought the Oral B Vitality Precision Clean Toothbrush on my £40 shop vs T (the voucher for £2.50 from the APG site - and you don't need the final bill to be £42.50). That also didn't show on MSM unless I was logged out. It compared on the APG however at £15 A vs £15 T. Unlike the Lynx Attract for Her, the toothbrush is showing on my asda.com. Strange world indeed...

    (Care - the Vitality Precision Clean Toothbrush is showing as £35 on Tesco Direct, but at £15 on tesco.com's grocery website. As MSM take from the grocery site, it's coming with the price of £15 (you pay that less £2.50 and get a further £1.50 back). I gather the version of the Oral B toothbrush in A is actually Version 1, whereas the one on tesco.com grocery is actually version 2 (it says "V2" on tesco grocery) - perhaps that's another glitch but giving the £1.50 in my favour rather than coming back as N/A.

    That's enough text. I'm going to bed myself now. See you later.

    Well going to have to look into it as its £50+ a month.
    The landline is just a nuisance anyway as we all have mobiles and anyone that rings the landline is trying to sell us something:(.
    When you change what happens to your email address is that taken away, I did read somewhere online as long as you access it every so many days it is ok .
    But that is one of the reasons I would stay dont want to lose email address/try and remember every site etc that it is on

    Hi :wave:
    Long time no see!
    Been in hospital quite a bit this past week between IV antibiotics and scans I've been busy :rotfl:
    I had a few bad days when I last posted, would have been DH's 35th birthday on the 29th so felt very low and alone. No one remembered :( my mum only realised the next day.
    It was Saturday morning that I got a call from my gp saying that she'd been trying to get me the day before because my blood results were sky high and I needed to get to hospital ASAP. Typically my phone had been playing up and I'd got peed off with it so left it at home.
    Anyway, had 3 days of staying in hospital and then 4 days of running back and forward between hospital and GP getting IV meds and scans. They had wanted me to stay in longer than 3 days but I told them I needed to be with DS as he was so scared he wouldn't leave my room at night, so for him I needed to be at home. I told them I'd be there any time they said and be sure to get all my meds.
    When I got home it was great but had to stay with my mum for a few days, tonight's the first night me and DS have had alone so we've had a Chinese and snuggled on the sofa.

    Some kids I work with in school thought my cannula was weird :rotfl: it was the first time many of them had seen one, hadn't meant them to see it but the bandage had come off so I was fixing it when one of the wee ones spotted it and asked what it was.
    We spent 30 mins explaining to them all what it was and how they had to be very careful not to knock it. They were fantastic about it and hopefully if they ever come across it again they'll know what it is and not to worry about it.

    Managed to find the strength to go Xmas shopping in Lisburn with DS and my mum. I gave DS his money for prezzies and was told he'd already reserved everything so all he had to do was walk in and get them all. He'd even everything totalled so knew he'd come in under his budget :T. He was so proud of himself, I know I am :p he's my :A
    Thankfully I didn't have to walk too much but made an effort to go into his fav fish shop to buy him a new fighter fish as his male died while I was in hospital and he'd got upset because he wanted more baby fish :rotfl::eek: He was so pleased that I'd remembered and he picked a nice one.

    Anyway, it has taken me over an hour to type this and now it's time for my final meds of the day (thankfully back on tablets now) then bed as I'll fall asleep soon enough :o

    Oh if anyone in lisburn's after the nail stuff I saw some in Toscos when I was in getting a refund on toys I'd bought. Only 2 bottles I think but that was about 2 or 3 today so might be gone by now.

    Nice to see you posting again, but sorry you've been poorly.
    It must be really worrying for your son when you have to go into hospital. Bet he's really pleased to have you home again, especially with Christmas so near. Take care

    Annoyingly, T compare their reduced goods to full price in other shops, so probably reduced to 14p because of date. But I could be wrong (as has previously been proven!)

    I would agree with you there, I paid 14p for a Hovis tonight with a yellow sticker on. The time of the receipt would be a good indiciation. There looks to be a few RTC items on that receipt, the mash another one. Ts definitely includes their yellow stickered items on PP where as As do not include on APG.
