    Yes, I'm after one with blue ink on it for Monday and black ink, on the same pages, for the Wednesday results - not that I needed to say that. I'm forever misplacing things - keys, cashcards, anything - and slightly accident prone at times too, bumping into doors and the like. Not to worry - the paper list will either turn up... or it won't. (I think I've now posted about main things that were new on it that stood out. If I find it, or remember more, I'll let you all know.)

    :) strikes a few chords. I reckon most of what's on your lists is already in your head anyway?

    ....if you ever find a solution to the misplacing things problem, I'll be interested :D

    Just seen this on the APG site.......We will always issue a voucher for the largest amount, when we are not 10% cheaper than more than one competitor.
    So does that mean they wont produce a voucher for the largest amount when they are cheaper than more than one competitor? Confusing for my head!

    EERK!! I have not done my APG for choc yet!!!

    Did I remind you?:D
    Here's my lack-of-[edit Cadbury's] chocolate shop from Thurs. evening:

    Why £8.35?:j

    9 items on your bill qualify for comparisonASDALogoWhite.gif Tesco

    +£7.45CheaperSignBlue.gif
    0.19 x ASDA Bananas by Weight £0.13£0.12
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Tomato Soup (400g)£0.24£0.24
    1 x ASDA British Iceberg Lettuce Loose£1.00£0.50
    1 x Rowntree's Fruit Pastilles Ice Lollies (4x65ml)£2.00£1.24
    1 x Innocent Smoothie Pomegranates, Blueberries & Acai...£2.78£1.44
    1 x Innocent Pure Fruit Smoothie Kiwis, Apples & Limes...£2.78£1.44
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Chocolate Mousse (4x60g)£0.18£0.18
    1 x ASDA Smartprice Mixed Vegetables (1Kg)£0.75£0.75
    1 x Comfort Concentrate Fabric Conditioner Blue Skies ...£6.50£3.00
    Comparison total£16.36£8.91

    Nestle Smarties cones used as trigger with Pastille Lollies. Innocents on 2 for £5 instore (and showing on receipt). SP Chocolate Mousse (okay it was some chocolate, forgot about that) - an additional purchase put on when I couldn't buy the right Cadbury's - and going round the store looking for an item to put one to ensure I had 8. Risky, as this was one I didn't check beforehand. Comfort 85 wash - now is the time to be buying it (or possibly after T increase the price back to £6.13 and then DTD???) - the more prominent areas of this site - and even the wkly email - had this at £3 "the lowest price they've seen for it" recently. Well, no! £2.70 effectively on that one!

    [...] they also find boring and uninteresting any attempt to explain fully from which, had they had the ounce of attention, would have been able to understand.

    Again, Savvy, this comes down to audience. I know you feel the need to go in even more depth than I do (and I like to go in deep - just for DM) but most simply do not want to learn or even to be told.

    I'm often ejected from conversations because I bring reality into them. Just the other day DD2 and OH were talking about Superman flying around the world. I dared to criticise the physics given that mass increases towards infinity as speed does and the reply I got "Why do you always spoil everything. We liked it the way it was".

    I guess it's the same reason many billions of people believe in god(s) and millions have a completely unreasoned fear of spiders. :rotfl:

    Just laugh at it and move on, SB. There are many reasons, all of which I'd debate with you elsewhere, but I think it's too much for this thread (he says after EPIC post 400 of the night lol!)

    I'll take it to DT one night and we'll post over there. Would that suit you?

    Who are we talking about? :)

    Night night all.

    No one of any significance. In fact, No, one, et al.

    Good night. Sleep tight.
