    Crucially, it wasn't cheapest item free.

    All the items were being charged 2/3rds the value of the cheapest item

    And hair care, shampoos, styling, dyes etc were 342 at Ts so if you bought a SP hair gel and 2 more expensive things it matched to some ridiculous price of about 10p each.

    I remember everyone trying to work out what was going on from some weird womble results. I can remember having a guess myself and I know aau was trying to work it out. It was something to do with the cheapeast item being picked up and divided by 3 I think. It was amazing. :D

    So for every item that was in a 342 deal, if combined with one of the cheapest in a 342 deal, would cost 2x whatever the cheap thing cost (like 'get cheapest free' but backwards)? :D:D

    I was going to have a go at paying for council tax this month with 3v, does anyone know if the bonus is for every £50 you buy or every time you buy £50? It doesn't say on the website t&cs

    Please and thank you :)

    Be careful as many council payment systems have been blocked since December. Best to do a test before you get carried away stocking up.

    Some nonsense like that.

    All I know is that every cupboard in my house was filled with cereal and I have not long run out of the shampoo I got from that. And a large stash of toothpaste too.

    Did dog food glitch too? I have pets (answer to h & s or dd1 and dd2) but they won't eat dog food!

    Yes IAMS dog and cat was 32p, lots of cleaning products as well.
    The big coke glitch was around that time as well. Buy a can of ambrosia and an 8 pack cost 47p. My favourite glitch........ever!! :D

    I can't be the only person who has never purchased another ambrosia product since? Those pots and tins were taking over the house :eek: :rotfl:

    Hi there. 12 items. Take away their £3:eek: card (not grocery). 11. Remove their notebook. 10. Take away their gift bag and their bag for life. Now 8. Finally, remove their reduced bread as doesn't count.

    So, final result:

    7 items:(:(:(:(:(:mad:.

    Elsie this brings back memories for me, keep an eye on your mum, just in case it's not the meds. Don't know if you remember but mine had an awful UTI that made her talk a load of nonsense and it made her mobility 10 times worse than is already was. It was a quite a while before she really took a downhill turn and she recovered from it well.

    One thing that helped my mum was having a commode to be wheeled to little room, she was horrified about having one but when she could no longer put one foot in front of the other it was a Godsend. I just explained she didn't have to use it but there came a day when she did.

    It is so sad to see them losing their independence, I have so much empathy for you, trying to juggle everything while caring for your mum. Keep strong hun. Hugs to you. xx

    Just flicking back to catch up best I can, Thanks TS :A
    Yes it's been a tough couple of days, is weird because I had her at the hospital tuesday and she was really fairly good, even walked back to the car with my help, about 100 yards which I suppose is almost a marathon to her. :o Just not sure if the getting in and out of car, being put in positions for xrays, and showing off to the doc what she could do, along with being pulled about further, combined to set this all off. Hoping a few days of rest will settle it down, we making sure she drinks plenty.
