    Damo so sorry to hear your sad news ((( hugs))))

    Evening all
    Quick question,I'm sure I read that someone on here used the 3v Visa cards to pay their council tax. I tried to do it online and it was declined, did I do something wrong?:(

    I pay mine by the automated phone service, have you tried it that way? :)

    Or one of those ones that are meant to be online only but work in store too :rotfl:

    The beef ones look like they could compare to A's ones at £2.20, obviously untested at the moment though, so don't take my word for it :p

    Edit. The sauces all look to be a different weight in A's so probably wouldn't compare?

    good afternoon everyone.

    had to look afetr dd1 2 little ones today, while she went for a checkup, she is doing well:)
    never knew how much fun you can have with a nappy delivery,
    3 large cardboard boxes and lots of soft nappy packages :D
    we made a train from the boxes putting all the teddies in the spare carriage, then cars built a castle using the nappy packs and boxes then the tallest nappy tower, great fun knocking them down.
    and finally a soft play nappy pack area:rotfl: whole floor covered in nappys for the kids to climb over. dd came home to the nicley tidied room a mess us all on the floor amongst squashed nappy packs and boxes and luckily burst out laughing:D:D


    :T:T:T

    This made me smile rhosynbach, and I am so pleased your DD1 is doing well. :A

    Hi again - doubtless I've catching up to do to cover the last two hours:rotfl:.

    I think, to help tidy up the Morries list (Avs M part), I'll just move this verbiage* and post it here, regarding the Tartar Sauce (in case I should ever need it again you see - I'm a hoarder:eek:, just can't bear to chuck it out totally just in case it should come into use at any stage in any way no matter how minor:rotfl:).

    Firstly, I'm now relaunching this morning's Avs M list!:j:j More items now onto there - back to where it should be, now bigger and better!:D I've still to put on the prices for the msm-'N/A items' that went on when the list was originally posted. I'll do that when I come back - it should be very easy to do from memory! Am I missing anything folks?:D:D:D:D (Apart from the Indian/Chinese meals that I 'don't really do':o:o (3 for £5 set-up anyway) and I'm aware the list does have "?.??" for a few A prices at the moment!)

    A few more items still to go onto Tvs M - the Meal Deal dips should also go there vs 2 for £1 in M - though they never have the right version in my stores hence why they don't appear on the actual lists - but just to let you know they should be a goer (Chicken Satay Dip??:question:), never know which - we did see it compare vs M mbuy on T PP months ago. There's also separate work back through the collection to get details of the items believed to be only available in M itself! Such as the Galtee Black Pudding at 99p (slightly better pricing than A CBY vs M's own brand) - anyway...best go for now!!:rotfl:

    Now the Tartar Sauce:;)
    *(bit of a complex one this one, as hoping that, due to rounding, it works out v. slightly better than Bramwell's Tartare Sauce bought in Aldi straight, needing a weight adjustment from A to M and a further adjustment for weight (less 10%) from M to Aldi - but only if it compares on APG does it give potentially better result and only if rounds down, then again, dependant on what else you have bought, you might get an extra penny on the APG due to rounding. The difference, if it compares vs M but rounds up, is all of one penny more expensive than Aldi's price (adjusted for weight). Of course if it returns N/A it sees you paying quite a lot more percentage cost than the Aldi product. But you might not have Aldi near you and etc..., so the 1p more may be worth it - but you've probably lost more than that amount on the electricity you've just used reading all this:rotfl:.)

    See you again soon!!:rotfl::D:wave:
