Morning, I would say good but it's anything but that!
Just off phone with GP, knew once he said who it was and how early it is that it's something serious .
My CRP level is 200, should be in single figures :eek: so some major infection/inflamation there. He's made me an appointment at 10.50 and I must admit I'm scared poopless, trying to play it down for DSes sake but at the same time try to get him to realise it may be hospital for me. He's already told me not to think he'll be waiting in the hospital with me for hours, that he'll be calling my mum to pick him up after an hour :rotfl:

Fingers crossed for you xx

He said as long as there was no restriction on minimum spend - and said you're getting a very good deal there !:eek: Couldn't get out quick enough ! HTH someone who doesn't have a girl or the 3 wheeler in stock locally.

Lol it is indeed my ears. I was just trying to describe the sensation I had when I finally got to the itch, the relief was wonderful

Really had to laugh at this, I used to work with some severley disabled children, and indeed, this is what they did, poked their ears and got the same desired outcome :-) We even had a member of staff (male of course) who tried it and it worked for him too :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Any one with free 4x Cushelle bog paper vouchers use in Sains. as they have supersize twice as many sheets £4.36. they might be other stores

LaaCaz

Probably a daft question......

I know sada use mysuper to compare for their apgs but mr t's use the supermarkets websites and data collection from morries for their pps.

What does sains use? Is it mysuper/website data/collection data or a mixture?

Can i ask what you do with the other PDF ones for the bundles? do you just take the 3 of them to boots or do you need to buy something first? any help please as they don't seem that clear.

In 'normal' circumstances (non-glitch), the best option would be to buy one in A (you don't need to buy two and spend more, unless you need two). However, if it's a m'buy glitch day, it's even better and you would then buy two.

This may help to simplify (unusual from me anyway:rotfl::rotfl:but here goes)...

If you buy one; (glitch or no glitch since A multibuy is irrelevant to your shop)
A £3.50 T £2.49. This adds £1.01 (the difference) plus about 25p (the 10%) to the APG voucher. Result: +£1.26

If you buy two;
Normal times - that is non-glitch:
A £4.00 T £4.98. 10% cheaper than T's price for two would be approx. £4.48.
Result: -48p
Glitch day:
A £7.00 T £4.98. We've already calculated what is 10% cheaper than T, so it's a straight £7.00-£4.48. Result: +£2.52

As it's a net loss of 48p should you buy two in A and it be non-glitch day, you'd probably be best waiting for womble results and/or confirmation of the likely status of the day before you buy 2 in A. (Or, if you are thinking of buying 1 now, on a non-glitch day, perhaps best to wait and get two when the system starts to glitch again.)


*****Simplication over.
Now the explanation, for those who wish to read it/are interested...regarding the effective price on a glitch day:
The £2.52 is just the effect on the APG amount. You actually pay £4 for 2 blocks of cheese in-store, so 2 blocks, on glitch day, on the pricing set-ups you have given, would be £4.00 you paid less £2.52 APG refund = £1.48. 74p each.
Unless my maths have gone out again. Of course, you don't actually get £2.52 cash but that £2.52 must be spent again (unless competitors accept it), in A, on more purchasing. But since we'd shop at A anyway, as it's good as cash within the Sada store environment! (Exc. any trouting etc.)

Thanks for taking the time to explain Savvy - and I do read all your long posts too.
