I think I tend to find M is generally closest in price to Mr A. (That's just a gut feeling.)
And this - highlighted item above - you see, comparing (quite rightly) on APG vs M despite msm having N/A for M.
Btw - a random piece of info. - CBY Cooked Ham 200g also compares (vs £2.00 at M:(:eek:) even though it is not properly linked with the M item on msm.
Shame that person above got one of the Fruit & Barley which isn't in the 74p Robinsons offers at M. Even do we know whether those are working on APG (or TPP)?0 -
Thanks very much vouchercrazy :T unfortunately its Friday to Sunday and a double got my eye on a suite and midweek I think the price is cheap enough but no harm trying to get it cheaper :rotfl:
It is 50% more booking 2 days together on one booking as opposed to 2 single days following on :eek:
Thanks for the info on booking single nights being cheaper, looking at the lakes for myself and oh for a few days, well back to searching0 -

Mortgage started June 2015 = £170,000 January 2022 = £134,000

If you focus on what you have left behind, you won't see what lies ahead - Gusteau0 -
I'm still waiting out the three hours on my shopping. I managed to get a misprice SEL:D - more details soon! Wait till you hear - you'll love it if it goes in my favour on APG as well! Probably an off-chance thing - I wasn't too pleased when I was in my first store when they didn't have the Golden Wonder but, given that the second store had this, I was very happy at that store (I'd never have gone to there if the first had had the GW. It didn't:T:T.)0

Thanks whoever it was who discovered the Pentel essentials sets. I found 3 today. Someone reported it not working. It's because some have a different barcode, but they both look identical. Go for the ones with ending with 1531 only.
That's why mine came up at £8 the wrong barcode! There was about 20 there too😉0 -
Evening all.
The mattresses arrived on time, and installed. They wanted £60 to take the old ones away:eek::eek:, so we told them no, we would dispose of them. DH and DS2 were outside cutting up old ones as they were too big to go in/on any of the cars to take to the dump. Ours was so well made that DS2 had to use an angle grinder to cut through the springs.
Beds are now made up with the posh new linen I picked up cheap from Just Linen.:D Can't wait to go to bed tonight.
I blitzed the bedroom before I did the bed, and found some very old books that I inherited, but had completely forgotten about, tucked in an under bed drawer.
Any ideas where I can find out if they're worth anything? There are several volumes of Lord Byron's works, dated from 1804 to about 1827, nicely bound, some a bit worn, and some fairly tatty.They include Don Juan, The Doge of Venice, A Tragedy, The Siege of Corinth, and books of poems. I've had a search, but not any luck. It occurred to me that as there is such a diversity of knowledge on this thread, besides glitching, one of you clever people may be able to help me.
I found this, which details Byron's life and works. Makes quite interesting reading, and I have some of the titles mentioned.

Happy birthday lilac lillie, hope you've had a lovely day.
Snap, glad Bindi/Spot (prefer Bindi:D)has settled in, lovely pic by the way.
Purpledonkey, lovely buns
Bubbs, I take back my erroneous birthday wishes, and replace them with a 'happy you're home, and hope the river behaves itself' wishes instead.
Savvy, your lists are amazing.
Thanks to whoever posted the Chiquita voucher link. May talk DH into a brekkie date and a 1p hunt afterwards.
Logie, they will manage without you hun. You need to get properly well before you go back.
Probably missed some people out, so thanks to all who post, and hope the poorlies feel better soon.
Hugs,
N x
Hope you have a great nights sleep on your new mattress.
thanks for reminder but had forgotten Just Linens name. Checked site and 15% extra off until monday. Says only works on bedlinen but I ordered a couple of pillows (was after a dual quilt but no doubles) and code worked fine.
