Not using it - I can assure you I have better things to do than work through methodically thanking posts, and I don't do it!

Regarding not understanding posts, I'm not sure if I understand that "scavvy" one but I'm none too bothered with what it means or doesn't!:cool:

Regarding 'moving around', I suspect you think I'm off here, off there, but I'm very lucky in this area to have so much choice around. I don't make many 'special journeys' but fit it in whith where I happened to be. I have a Morries near work, another one near my house when I am off work, a nearby A, another near a relative when visiting etc. You're right with the stock up and I do that sometimes too!

Indeed, don't travel out of the way if that's more costly than the few pence saved on something cheaper. However with an A nearby, I'd have thought you could do the "10%" thing - and only need one store, one trip, to compare, in the same one store, against diff. competitors on split shops etc. Rather removes the need to travel round when you can do S and T shopping in A!

I think I'm going to specialise. And I think the key is various people, different people on here doing different things and all, put together, helping. So, without intending anything against those of you in Northern Ireland - and I've already been mainly on this topic - I'm going to deal more with the Morries things than other things. I don't want it thought that I'm only dealing with one thing and going on and on about it, I'll still do the Tvs A, Tvs S, Avs T and S etc. if I get it to, even though I'm concentrating more on the M area. I think it's essential or useful if different people deal more with different things - and I think it's already how this forum happens, quite naturally, to work.

It's not - I hope - me going on and on about Morries - to the bugbear of N.I. people - but simply that 'that's more my area'. I feel, myself, like a bit of a broken record popping up with Morries info. (although that may be very useful to people having M to compare to, or shop in) and constantly saying, again and again, this excludes Northern Ireland - I'd like to dispense with it more often, although I never know that there may be new readers, who may be in N.I., who would not necessarily be aware.

David. - as for yourself, and others who have an A a few minutes away from them, I'd have thought you could use the shopping style of vs T glitch items (herbs, potatoes etc.) for example or do Avs M and buy from the M list when in A. For those (outside Northern Ireland - there I go again:rotfl:), for those who do not have an M nearby (wanting to repeat the NI bit again, just consider that exclusion implied in what I say next) - for those of you without an M nearby, but who have an A, you can of course use the Morries items shopping in A. You do not need a store near you to compare to it (unless you're in Northern Ireland and it's M or W). So, if you're in GB, your nearest M may be hundreds of miles away - but you can still use the nearby A if you have one! (And you can rely on my price-taking from M stores nearby me, that you do not have available:T:T:rotfl::D):j

But bear in mind the N/A situation too:(.

I wouldn't say "rely".

More "use the prices in my M as a guide to start you off (since it is possible that the price checkers sent in by MSM go to a different store that has another price on display and because it is dependant on MSM updating their prices on the advertised days at a non specific time)"

A beautiful basket and so nice when they keep on flowering way and beyond when they should,do you cut them back to get another flourish of flowers?I cut my bleeding heart back and the aqueliga and they are blooming again .This is something my DH always did:A

Ooh, might have to trim mine back tomorrow then I have both in my garden and flowers just dying.
Very excited that my Evening Primrose started flowering yesterday. I grew them from seed last year, but they never got off the ground. Just left them in over the winter and they have flourished this year :j

Can I just ask the 5:2 ers.

Do you go so long that you just don't feel hungry anymore or are you ravishing by the time it comes to eat?

I try to delay any breakfast as long as poss - once I eat something my stomach sees to wake up and need constant attention! I have a mug of tea and then a late breakfast around 10.30 - 11 am. That keeps me going and, with plenty of water, a big bowl of low cal jelly and a few grapes I am fine until 7.pm. My that time I am certainly looking forward to a meal but am not famished. I've only done 2 fast days though - having another one tomorow.

I would like to think I am RAVISHING though:rotfl:

Evening all

Well I went to the gym this evening :eek:
Was slightly concerned my card was going to burst into flames when she took it! The last time it was used in the gym was 2009 :rotfl:
But done a wee work out, so hoping to feel the benefits. Although I do fear for my legs and trying to get out of bed in the morning :rotfl:

Managed to get myself some of the SP Kitchen rolls and a few RTC laundry bits today in A's. Didn't get enough to build something to rival the pictures on here though!
