    Well, hello, very very good morning!!:D:):j I think I can see a lot of Morries shopping going on in A and T today:D, firstly let me get the extremely small fish out of the way:

    A womble from yesterday afternoon - all of 40p:( - and guess who's triggered the voucher again!! Correct... Mr M!

    Here's the comp - just a forewarning for shoppers in A (with Doritos in twos, Mullers x5 etc.) that the 4pt Semi-Skimmed milk is returning N/A vs M - it seems they have, again, failed to scan all regional variations, so it's possible it may work in Scotland or Wales but don't bank on it - till then, it's in 3s Avs T. So there we are - Savvy, somewhere in England, in my 30s, heading (whether slowly or quickly) towards the wrong end of 40. Or maybe it's contrary to popular wisdom again - perhaps the 'retirement' days are the right side of our lives:rotfl:.

    Why £0.40?

    All done!!:):)

    I'm having my work cut out here - trying to go through M list, do shopping, more M list, catch up with here, it's all going...so, forgive me if I go off and don't keep up with the conversation, but instead if I keep posting and giving info. in reply to earlier posts. Oh well:rotfl:(I'm waffling!:D:rotfl:).

    Look - I'm the man for the match!!:):) Lots of potential good Tvs Ms as well, just to add to some favoured 2L soft drinks that eclipse them all!;):D Aau1 - you're here to work out max. number of 2L drinks we can get to stay within £10 limit and how much that leaves us left, so I can return, catch up with your answer and put a few fillers, little bit cheaper in Ms, to make up the rest of the tenner!!:beer::rotfl::D:)

    Hell yeah!! Coke (and possibly others) glitch - but we don't know about the bracketed ones, whether they'll work, yet! I've updated my last post as well now, so take a look!;):)

    Explains why it's also taking me 35 posts! (Or rather, taking you - till I appear! I'm here, getting v.v. good info. for you all sorted in the background - nay, foreground once it appears!:):))
