    DS2 has a bear....called Bluebear :o his sewed on smile unravelled years ago. Every few months he brings Bluebear to me to redraw his smile with a permanent marker. He's a properly loved bear with stitched on arms and legs and he gets a new t shirt for Christmas every year :D

    I bought a bear from the lifeboat station this year just to avail of it t-shirt for Bluebears Christmas present :o

    I love this :T:T

    Right - the M list (http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=64181207&postcount=1994) now has a new format, to help you use it (with caution!) over the price changeovers from last week to this.

    The items in italics are soon to be off. So you may see these go up in price for M on the APG v. soon. Advice if you want to compare vs the lower prices would be to go very quick - and hope the comparison is still vs the old price. I'd say early on Tuesday - later in the day (Tuesday) it will very likely compare vs the new price.

    The items in bold at the bottom of the list are new items - therefore I'd say wait on these until the APG is updated, possibly Tuesday evening and delay checking receipt or from Thursday onwards (I'm assuming no-one is shopping on New Year's Day). These new items will take their proper place in the list in due course. At the moment, nearly all of them just have the A prices on there, but be assured I think they are going to be good prices to compare against!

    The ones in 'normal' type are remaining at same price in M, so on both the 'old' and the 'new' list. Old one might sort of end towards 5pm(??) on 31 December and new one start. It depends on how soon they update! Normally, the 'buy in M' items (items that have no equivs. in A or T) are in italics - obviously I can't use that now, so I've put them into normal text, but should be obvious which items they are (they are M own brands and the names are given as such). I also found Uppercrust Steak or Cheese & Onion Slices (2 per pack, frozen), each at £1 in M. A used to have these, at £1, some time ago. But, sadly, they now appear no longer to be sold there and not on msm. So, they are 'buy in M' at straight £1. They are 326g packs - even remembered that! (Shame they turn out not to be of use in A!)

    If I don't see you again soon, happy new year! I hope to get back though - on New Year's Eve late afternoon, hopefully not late evening - to sort the M list properly - but now put it in the format it's now in in case I don't.

    Note the Mullers and the Normous Noodles are going off. Normous Noodles now back up to 98p:eek: in M.

    They look fine to me, I guess it depends what font you use.

    Right I have to go and supervise the kitchen. Mr TS has been out with his old school mates tonight. Few pints too many, I don't want another kettle disaster and can smell something cooking. :eek:

    Will say Goodnight, just in case I don't make it back.

    And better leave a Good Morning for David. Where is he tonight? Has all the knicker talk frightened him off. Or maybe work tomorrow I guess. ;)

    Night TS. Hope you get some baby news tomorrow. Or maybe it's a stubborn baby who wants to wait for next year? :D
