    Hmm not sure that is long enough for it actually to affect apg prices. Hopefully the womblers are out in force. Any wombles since 4pm ish would be really interesting. :D

    Remember when I monitored multibuys? Went through it all months ago and remember this is very rough because I wasn't mad enough to watch it 24/7 which is impossible but should give a general idea...

    8% of the time when multibuys disappeared where for longer than 8 hrs, most common was 12-13 hrs usually overnight and usually a significant proportion of multibuy products had gone ( thousands)
    The longest time was 22hr 31mins.

    61.3% less than 1hr with the average time being 26 mins*

    18.7% 1-2hr*

    6.7% 2-3hr*

    4% 3-4hr*

    1.3% 4-5hr*

    *Varies roughly from 100's missing to thousands and the time it takes for them to return close to or the original figure. Sometimes they came back in drips and drabs.

    What I can gather is that it didn't really matter how long they were gone for as it had little or no impact on whether multibuys were recognised or not based on the information available at the time*

    When they disappeared for 22hrs I think that was when the Mcvities, cheese and something else were comparing incorrectly way back in April I think it was.

    So don't hold your breath but would love to be proven wrong. We haven't had a proper glitchy day since Feb only the odd one or two items now and again.
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

    Did anyone have any success with Sheba?

    I've got to freshen up my APGs at the weekend but I've not got anything on my Sada v tosco list. I might have to do bom pot shops

    OH gave up coke months ago so its not worth me getting them.

    So what else ...

    I've had a look at mySuperlist and Cravendale and McCain French fries are price matched, corona has gone off my list as cashback items.

    It's very odd, I've got a full tosco v Sada list with matching mocs and points vouchers but no Sada list:eek:

    There are a couple of high school children who will be getting a spanking from me if my DD is upset like she is today again. I know she is a mare at home but teachers think she is wonderful at school, she is top set for everything and works hard, this obviously upset a couple of idiots who are now tormenting her. School has one chance to resolve this Monday before I go in!:mad:

    Good luck FloFlo, it is so frustrating when someone upsets your child. We had DS2 crying on the phone for hours after he was mugged, if I ever meet them I would not be responsible for my actions!

    Your book cases look so tidy, mine need a total re vamp. I expect this is what you do on no spend days, tidy your bookcases :D

    Evening all :)

    So far I've shied away from giving jewellery to DS's GF, having had things given to me in the past, which are really not me!

    Depends how well you know the girl. Does she already have a bracelet, or would she need to buy one. If she has one, does she already have the charm you're thinking of getting?

    And :wave: to yra :)

    She is only 16, so very much coming of age and it is a coming of age piece of jewellery.

    God it is hard buying presents. :p:p:p:p
