    off to bed :)

    Im reading johnny cash's biography......no other reason than I found it in the charity shop for 25p last week. It's surprisingly very good so far. So I might read another few chapters.

    Only thing is....OH is doing his usual pig impression....he's 2 floors up and I can hear him from here :( Im not a shoe person but I have got a pair of stilettos somewhere. I was thinking a jab from a stiletto in the calf might work better than an elbow in the ribs?

    ........long time since I wore my stilettos in bed :D:rotfl::rotfl:

    Heidsieck Blue Top Dry Monopole Champagne Non-Vintage (750ml)

    S £29.99

    A £15.00

    This is why BM is capped @ £10.

    On the radio today, a caller mentioned not being able to buy a medium size swede. The store only had large or larger.

    Lady caller said " I opened one of the pre packed mixed bags and selected the one that was the size I wanted ".

    :rotfl::T:rotfl:

    Did she do anything wrong by opening the pre pack ?

    Have eaten a sarnie while going around the store and paid for it at checkout :D
    Back to square one, no apg, no comment.

    Not all weekend (certainly not if you class Friday night as part of the weekend). The multibuy wasn't showing on MSM on Friday night from probably about 9pm and didn't reappear until around 3am on Saturday. I think it's that period of absence that we are now having, in delay.

    If only we could crack this we would be onto a winner (as indeed would As/MSM, as no doubt they are perplexed why it keeps happening and if we look too hard we may find their solution - bring back the Ambrosia glitch please!). However, the 9pm to 3am missing multis cannot completely explain this, as someone presented a womble APG result showing the cheese which I think pre-dates that, some of the glitches are not current multis but seem to be old prices that have come back into the system ... and it worked all Saturday and Sunday which is longer than 6 hours :p.

    There seems to be a time lag between price data being updated on T/S/M, this being reflected on MSM, and that then feeding through to the APG. They claim to do an overnight update, but our recent experiences of missing multis shows that this can happen at any time of day or night, and the outcome of this isn't always consistent (sometimes it causes a glitch, sometimes it resolves a glitch, and sometimes it works as they intend - and in some instances we want - with prices matching all round!).

    As it is computer based there has to be logic in there somewhere (even when it glitches) ... but I haven't a clue what the logic may be :(.

    I've never had the dreaded ' you have reached your limit' message. I regularly uninstall and re- install to avoid it. I have it on my phone as well....which I forget about :o

    Does it actually enforce a 10 limit? I understood from previous comments that the web based/email entry version did if you put your email in but not aware that the iPhone/phone app version does?

    Thank you for highlighting this, I may need to start deleting and re-installing (though that will then delete my 6 month APG collection ...).

    just found this on a womble from yesterday if it is any help to you.
    THE RECEIPT DOES SHOW A MULTIBUY OF CHEESE 2 FOR £5


    2 x Cathedral City Extra Mature Cheddar (350g)
    £8.56
    £9.00 A V T



    2 x Cathedral City Extra Mature Cheddar (350g)
    £8.56
    £9.50 A V S





    2 x Cathedral City Extra Mature Cheddar (350g)£8.56
    £9.00 A V M





    2 x Cathedral City Extra Mature Cheddar (350g)
    £8.56
    N/A A V W

    I knew I had read it somewhere - reported Saturday afternoon from a womble, shop was on 5th (what time was the shop and APG please?), which may suggest that it has been glitchy for longer (on As side) but only since Saturday with the reduction in Ss has it been of use.

    Thanks to Savvy for directing us to this - I now have enough cheese to last ... until the BBE in June at least, probably beyond :).

    Many thanks

    Evening Cheesy Elite :T :T No shopping for me today but will get some cheese if it is still working tomorrow

    My sister and I decided this afternoon on these songs for Mam's service:

    For entrance:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geOdtA7N6Kk

    Time after Time, recorded by Sinatra in 1946, the year Mam and Dad got married

    During service:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvavH6HEVIU

    When Mam & Dad just had my brother, before my sister and me were born, this song became their song - listen to the song and you will see why, remembering that Mam was called Molly ;)

    As we leave:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ia21rIMmeAA

    The song she used to sing with my sister and the girls, complete with spirited 'Yee Ha' in appropriate places


    I finalised rewriting the Celebrants eulogy too, to make it much more personal, and my sister has sent it off to her. My brother thanked me for doing such a good job on it, my sister too, so I was well pleased with that :D




    3 Dogs,

    You've had more than your share of tough times lately :(

    I'm sure better times are close, well fingers crossed.



    Your positive attitude really inspires me, thank you.
