    Hi Dawnylou, I would split that shop into two - without the cheese and yogs it should give an APG of £7.78.

    Yogs buy 10 from list (8 different if poss), cost £4, APG £2.66.
    Add your cheese to the yog shop, APG depending on if it glitches today.
    Make sure more than 8 different items in each shop.

    Comparable yogs -

    Greek Style Corner with honeyedapricot
    Greek Style Corner with rhubarb
    Greek Style Corner Yogurt withBlack Cherry
    Fruit Corner Red Cherry
    Fruit Corner Blueberry Yogurt
    Fruit Corner Strawberry
    Fruit Corner Blackberry & Raspberry
    Fruit Corner Peach & Apricot
    Crunch Corner Vanilla Yogurt & Chocolate Balls
    Crunch Corner Toffee Hoops
    Crunch Corner Banana ChocolateFlakes
    Crunch Corner Chocolate Digestive
    Corner Limited Edition Cookies& Cream

    Morning everyone.Cheese keeps coming up correct in the basket.Think the have done it.Hope I'm wrong.Thanks to the OP,got some yesterday

    Good morning.
    As and MSM have appeared 2 for £5 for Cathedral City for much of the weekend - it is only when the APG has come through that we know if it glitched in our favour.

    We won't know if they have fixed it overnight until the early shop results come in - and they can still correct it at any time during the day so there is always a risk (but one worth taking!)

    Good morning everyone, heres hoping to a cheese glitchy day still, never managed to get out yesterday.
    Yep our boys go back to school today it's the first time in 2 weeks they have been out of their rooms before 11am.

    They look really grumpy :D

    Was quite surprised with my 2 this morning, up at 7 and in the shower and down for breakfast without any shouting, tomorrow will be a different story.

    Morning gang
    thanks so much for cheese, finest and rice......
    10 rice last night £5 back.
    6 cheese £15 back
    3 finest made up to £42 total paid £19.
    Makes such a difference to our budget.

    DD2 has just gone on driving test, nerves in tatters as last night she "misplaced" her paper licence, so house is upside down and was finally discovered at 1am, lets hope she is all finished with nerves now and gets thru it, positive thoughts gang as its something I can ill afford and she has been learning a year.

    Good luck for your daughter, hope she passes.

    3dogs, glad your getting everything sorted, take care.

    Off to do some housework, now everything back to normal, washing already on the line, another in machine, got car to wash later, its filthy, after driving through all the snow in Wales, the salt is all over it, and some sort of huge bird has done a great big thing all over the bonnet.

    Just because of the size of the APG dawnylou, there's nothing wrong with your shop as it stands (nice shop :)), but I'm more comfortable with APG's under £10. If the cheese DOES glitch your APG will be well over my 'safe limit' of £15.
