    What's that?

    It's just a bit weird putting down how I am feeling at times, sometimes it's better to "pretend" to enable me to emotionally cope when a bit dodgy.

    I know a lot of people on here have gone/are going through a lot dealing with family illnesses and deaths and I'm sure they will all recognise and expect what I am going/gone through.

    It's hard to accept when you have been the one "coping"

    God, the tears have started again just typing this.

    Going for a fag, but will be back. xx

    AE = Alter Ego someone who already posts or have been banned and have invented a new username. Hope that's correct.

    If you ever feel the need to talk anytime of day or need help someone is here anytime of day you only need to post.

    Have a hug and try not to cry xx

    Just back from A then (nearly half an hour ago now after this is written and posted:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:) - I finally managed to get there (only just about!) - and entrusted the SA with the scanning of my shopping:eek:. Picked an SA least likely to raise any questions at all. Then waited, and waited:(:(, while she scanned the previous customer's huge shop very very slowly:mad:. Bill came to well over £60:eek: - whereupon the customer faffed and faffed before finding their debit card.

    So my shopping went through in the final minute of trading time (yet again). Once again, in a way I bought too well and ended up with a bill a few pence below:eek: my £11+ voucher. No time at all to rush and get another item, but she put it through:T - managed to get rid of it - ..... and then the till wanted an over-ride!:mad::mad: Due to the negative amount.

    So I'll have to pretend for now that one of those Jaffas cost me a few pence more. Or that I got all those at 1p each but not the 10% on a couple of items in the rest of the shop. Or paid full Morries price for the one Muller that split whilst I was driving home:eek::(:(:mad:. (Still able to eat it though.)

    It was part-paid with a womble or two though - so perhaps I'll just treat it as a womble return being a little less than it was. I've lost more physical cash out of my back pocket though at previous times of my life:rotfl::rotfl:. Seems hardly worth printing off the 'or refund at CS if you are spending less than the voucher' part of the faqs/t&cs.

    The SP Cheese Slices were marked at 54p on the SEL:T (or so I thought) - but I looked and they'd scanned through at that price. It therefore feels like the 59p price is the price from tomorrow, so keep an eye early doors! (And later in the day but perhaps with less chance.) Sadly, as far as I know, these don't compare to anywhere else. So although I paid 54p I doesn't look like a 59p on APG then comparing anywhere else cheaper scenario. I've bought it though (and we will use it) so I'll let you know what it says when the receipt comes for checking - a little after 7pm of course;):(:(.

    Following an earlier failure, I bought (what I believe to be) enough items this time - actually I've never even entered my likely 'failed' receipt yet - just hoping one of the items appears on msm and then I can put it in, without previous locking having occurred, and it pick up 8 items.

    I've gone today as I noticed that one of the items, showing somewhat cheaper at the rival on msm, was only showing signed in:eek::eek: (one fewer item...??:eek::eek::rotfl:) and that I could not find it at all on the rival's website. It's hardly material at the moment what that is, as I can report tomorrow if it is still on msm and of course even sooner back here if it glitches vs a 1p residue price!:rotfl:Long shot!:o:mad::D If I bought enough...:)

    I seem to have it as one of those anomaly type items again:rotfl::rotfl::cool:., so we never know!

    Wish me good luck!!:rotfl::rotfl::):)

    (Another of the items might disappear totally if it comes back as being a 'home' item:eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl:- now he tells us! So that might make it on the edge of 8...


    8 + or - :eek::eek::eek:

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    No, I'm pretty sure (I hope!:D) that there are at least enough items over the 8, to allow at least three of them (as above perhaps) to not appear. I could, and should, have just put another one on - even that 17p Love Hearts thing I was refusing as it looked very thin - totally unwisely - and especially as it would have cost nothing within the APG voucher.

    But anyway. I don't really care:p - I do well on my other shopping anyway.)
