I never got time to go look for any perhaps David. would do a deal with me, if I make an appointment with docs tomorrow maybe he would have a few bin bags to throw my way.

what a fab gift:j...that's lovely!

Yup, it's absolutely brilliant

We had a set back with the decorating which made her want to do this. When I stripped the hall/stairs I didn't think to open any of the upstairs windows.

The next day when i went back to the house the 2 bedrooms that i had lined were all seriously blistered

So I actually had to strip 2 of the rooms TWICE :mad::mad:

We actually got a lovely housewarming gift from the wife's gran this week

Enough money to pay a decorator so that we can move in even sooner. They are doing the stairs, living and dining room for us

:j:j:j:j

So I am finally done stripping (well I am done doing any stripping that I can share with you lot :rotfl:)

Phewwww :rotfl:

For new list for w/c 4/2/13, see http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=59136967&postcount=6564 (currently of just the carryovers - new offers to be added, including Pringles 190g M 99p each - appears to be one week offer only - Cheese & Onion, Original, Prawn Cocktail, Salt & Vinegar, Sour Chives & Onion and Texas BBQ; A SP Tomato Soup M 24p; A SP Veg Soup M 24p; A SP Chicken Soup M 24p; A SP Chocolate Chip Cake Bars (5) M 50p; A SP Shaving Foam M (and T & S) 26p)


For bin bags (refuse sacks), the Smartt Extra Large 10 are still any 2 for £1.50 in M.
[Edit: now informed this works out more expensive than a recent expired offer price at A.]

"Vs M only" usually means the prices at other competitors are more expensive than M (and usu. more expensive than A as well) 'Until' dates are the stated expiry dates of the offers in M (remember offers can be withdrawn before these dates though).

If prices adjusted for size, it should be neutral. Doesn't matter too much if it returns, as it should, N/A. T is more expensive, S and W are N/A, maybe vs M will give 5p off or so.)
Colgate Plax Multi-Protection Soft Mint Mouthwash 500ml £2.00 £1.64 (also vs T or S) - possible glitch on Colgate since I notice the one available in A for £2.00 is actually a twin-pack - A do have multi-protection soft mint single but it's 250ml and £1.79. Is the £2.00 twin being compared on APG to the £1.64 versions in M, T and S, which appear to be singles? Therefore, two within a pack for £2.00 but refund as if you only got one in a pack.

(grrrrr @ public sector!!)

exactly! i have to compromise, no choice. I soooo need to get back to work. Sod this housewife malarkey, Ive had enough. I can't do it!

Yup, it's absolutely brilliant

We had a set back with the decorating which made her want to do this. When I stripped the hall/stairs I didn't think to open any of the upstairs windows.

The next day when i went back to the house the 2 bedrooms that i had lined were all seriously blistered

So I actually had to strip 2 of the rooms TWICE :mad::mad:

Dont you hate it when that happens!
