Well MrLala has managed to collect the required sample from Alfie this morning:oHe ambushed him having a wee by shoving a tray under under him at 7am, and Alfie promptly stood in it:eek::rotfl::rotfl:And then Alfie looked at him as if to say "Dad what the flipping heck are you doing!!"

I use the tray or plastic box method on my pups too but so often they put a paw in it and tip it out :mad:

Speaking of vets, here is our Jake practising for his audition to be the new His Masters Voice dog ... somehow I don't think he has the right idea but I haven't the heart to tell him lmao

He's got the job. So cute. Hope buster collar isn't on too long

Just a quickie;)Alfie doesnt have Cushings:Tbut downside is the vet is really concerned because he has got such a swollen tummy:(So tonight he's had loads of tests done and the vet is going to get results back for quickly so we'll know more tomorrow evening,So fingers crossed again.

So glad it is not Cushings Nikki, that's what got our Bonnie and we had to have her put down last January hope they can sort Alfie out and he is soon on road to recovery. Will be thinking of you all tomorrow

Good evening. I've noticed you obviously like my longer posts (:D:rotfl: ) (!), as my Cadbury Cones and Mushy Peas one got 21 thanks but my briefer replying, later on, about the Pork Steaks got only 15. :rotfl:

Morning.
I have a couple of APGs running out, i'm thinking I could recycle them with the welch's?? Am I right thinking this

I think you very likely are. Both the Purple Grape Light and the Grape/Apple/Pear are showing on MSM for Sada (although they’re the versions that are on £1 in A – somehow I’d have preferred it if it were the one at £1.98). It depends if the ones in M are 1 litre, which I think they are (and M’s website confirms this). Not yet a total expert on Welch as I’ve not had these on offer at M before – after the Aasani’s in T for 29p(?), 69p now seems too much to me – but, with Welch’s MOCs and then an APG to 10% off (from the non-MOC prices), this could well be excellent. If you’ve more than one Welch’s MOC – and are able to use more than one in the same shopping – remember 1x Purple Grape Light plus 1x Grape/Apple/Pear is 2 sep. items, so only 6 to go.

To be fair the moc does say Tbob Abob or Sbob, but 10/10 for trying:rotfl:

And 10/10 for probably succeeding as well. I totally get the approach that Cheesyball is aiming at. We’re saying use the MOC(s) in Sada on a shop where you’re doing a price comp. vs M. So you get the money-off the Welchs as we’ll be buying them in A, where they are perfectly valid, and then (as MOC payment counts like cash) the refund from the A price (ignoring the MOC amounts) to about 62p (ten per cent cheaper than M’s 69p price).

I’ve tried this sort of thing – and it worked – before. It was the last time I bought any Campbells Cup soup packets (I’ve still got 2 of them, valid until July this year, that’s from how long ago my supply of them has lasted). There was – some time ago – a voucher for 20p off, which allowed you to print and use multiple times. It was only valid however for a discount of 20p off the full priced item (you couldn’t – or weren’t supposed to at any rate - use it in conjunction with your supermarket’s half price offers and as someone who doesn’t cause embarrassment by asking for mis-redemption, I complied with it). They were on 50p rollback in A at the time. So what I did – this was shortly after Sains. had introduced its BM across the UK – I bought 10 packets (maximum number allowed under BM) at full price in Sains, used 10x 20p coupons, plus other A cheaper shopping, total bill, before coupons, slightly over £20, all the coupons off, and a BM back to the A prices. Except it meant effectively 30p per pack of cup soups. Which is why 75p per pack doesn’t tempt me all now, with no MOCs and no cheaper prices elsewhere to match or preferably beat (besides it being way too much for me in itself!).

Following on from this nicely (that’ll be a change!!:rotfl: ), instead of the Campbell’s Cups, I preferred my free 3 cans of Baxters from A, with shelf mispricing. Tonight, on my way back on a route I was already going to follow, I passed and stopped at two A’s – sadly both of them had all the Baxters at 98p straight. So no further opportunity for me today. However, I did find a womble. You’ll all need to wish me luck – probably a lot of it – on this – I’m going to enter it in now, but the receipt consists of nearly all fairly low-priced items on it (although not low-price compared to the 10% off that I effectively pay when other items of the same use are the same price but at a rival). It’s got a couple of m’buys – but they’re just a 3 for £1 on kids’ sweets and 2 for £1 on Easter novelties (it’s clear people have started buying these) – the novelties tend to be the same price everywhere, so my sole luck seems to rest on a few pence on these items – and it will be a very few pence, if anything at all. Never know though – it might turn out luckier. We’ll see…

Much laughter here tonight - loved both Miranda and Mrs Brown. You were on great form Patty :rotfl:

Homer sends big hugs and licks to Alfie and hopes he will be ok:)

Tonight's womble - absolutely nothing at all, and nothing really worth reporting here about it. A lot losing out, but just some Fox's Fudge Crunch Creams to tell you about, at 50p (losing out, particularly against Sains. and Morries). The crunch creams compare vs 55p at T and some Fox's Malted Milk are N/A for T so don't lose you out there - or you can buy both, at £1 each, on a Sains. vs Sada (but we can do far better than that, with bigger packs and waiting until a rival of A is at 50p on those instead).

Talking of Christmas puds, I've been keeping an eye on the M&S ones but they have only reduced them by a few pence and there were dozens. I went up yesterday & none left, when I asked if the had any more I was told, 'no they flew off the shelves at 10p'! :eek:Drat missed them.
Their oragami crackers have been reduced to £1 for a couple of weeks now but I was waiting for them to go lower, yesterday they all had £1.50 stickers over the £1, after a nice little chat to the manager he let me have 3 boxes at 50p:) The wrapping paper still 75p and above.:(
Welcome to new posters and thank you qoc for new thread.
