    No, my beefsteak ones are very nice but small. I usually have tons of cherry ones but I have less than half of last years crop :( Im putting it down to the heatwave? I was watering 3 times some days

    My triumph this year is onions, they have been great. Big and lots of them :D

    I'm currently listening to Radio 2. Some lovely songs on. Life is good.

    Its when you suffer great pain that afterwards, you feel the bliss. I hope that makes sense. In other words, if anybody is going through pain, just know that it wont be forever and there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

    I love you all on here. The support and love shown to me, has brought tears to my eyes.

    I'll finish with a Winston Churchill quote: If you are going through hell, keep going.

    I love that quote !

    I suppose that Avs T list (post 399, just posted) is good enough as it stands. Prices in T tend to change fairly soon anyway (from where we are today, a Sunday) - so you can probably use the list in conjunction with having msm.co.uk open (which you should have anyway).

    I've already indicated numbers needed to compare vs T multibuys. If I've said "1x", assume you can buy up to 10 to compare or, in the case of the bananas, you can buy up to 10kg:eek: of the loose bananas in a comparison shop.

    Some things to highlight:

    There may be other flavours of items listed that are also available for Avs T (check on msm).

    Silver Spoon Create Buttons only 50p T.

    Campbells Ready to Serve soups 50p in T. Use 20p Campbells MOC. Also A appears to have shot up from 65p to 89p today on these Ready to Serve soups, so may be £2 GCs in the offing. There may be other Campbells products still lower priced in T.

    C& B Tomato soup 4 pack £2.99 vs £1.49 T (although Campbells may work out much better!).

    Tesco Tiramisu 500g is £1.00 at the moment - so Avs T appears quite good.

    Pukka Pies £1.00 in T, £1.78 in A but also on 2 for £2.50 in A (may be good to watch if m'buy disappears?).

    The Garniers - T at £2.00 - careful as I think T is showing £2.00 out of stock on one of those for me. Part of 3 for £6.00 in A, also the Olay Wipes. May be good to buy total number of 2 items from this offer (same or different items as on the list on post 399) plus the Garnier that went through at £1.50 but didn't take the 3 for £6 multi off instore, therefore resulted in a refund to the £6, and a £2 GC for me.

    Garnier Refreshing Toner 200ml (grape extract, it's a green liquid one) - b/c ends 045232. Shows N/A for T on msm, so maybe good if other two you've bought compare to same price (£2.00) for T, after the multi has been taken off on the APG (but you had a £2 GC addition instore). Or a trigger may be in existence - the expert on the products in this area is FloFlo!

    SP Cheese & Onion Pasty causing me a little bit of a jump-around at present! Was 30p in M then it went up to 35p (to my disappointment) before I could buy it! Now noticed that T is 30p - it's now Avs T!! (Yes!)

    Some of our usuals on there (Pots & Herbs, S& Gs), plus the Galaxy 114g choc.
    CBY Naan on 3 for 2 again in T.

    Woopydooo --- it's letting me do long posts again! (Big grin!)
