An Enjoyable Look Into tweets and Poppy's Expeditions Thread (An 11+ ELITE Thread)

I asked why msm was not displaying prices when you hover the mouse over the product any more. + I said I did not like it this way. so if anyone else don't like this I suggest you post on their fb site otherwise its going to stay like this.
reply I got

Thanks for your feedback. If you click on the product, you'll not only see the price compared, but also saving suggestions, price history and more. We're trialling life without this feature at the moment but getting lots of requests, so we'll see what we can do!

I think I'm guilty of that too:o I bought ginger for the first time in my life last week after watching ping with her spring onion and ginger...

Lets just say I know why I don't experiment with new flavours and recipes...:rotfl: it's wasn't what you'd call a success

You don't even get a tiny 1p piece as filler item?! :eek:

Good evening:).

CBY Extra Strong Garlic Baguettes (2 per pack - 420g)£1.88 £1.00 (vs T)

I'm the Asperger who's spent all day waiting in for a tradesman only to find he had sent me a voicemail at 9.30 this morning. (I told you it was daily updates:D). At this late stage in the day I couldn't work out how to access that:o but sorted out for him to return tomorrow. It's alright - I was going to be here anyway and others from the house were already elsewhere so couldn't arrange a day out with them.

I do have access to a mobile therefore but have no special interest in using it much and don't have any interest in learning how to. No idea if it could access apps like Msl as it's a little old but eventually if I get any interest in it I might find out if it can. It's the downside, my downside anyway - I know there are others like me but who constantly carry around a mobile phone with them, are always playing with games on that and indeed more interested in that than in people:). Sometimes - hey, it's just nice to lie inside, indoors near a sunny window all day and not really be thinking of mobile phones or anything:):).

So, in the past hour, after waiting/sleeping in all day, nice life eh?:D - I've been out to A. Of course I bought everything I needed vs T and vs M over the weekend:(! I've tried the Jazz apples and decided that the L McC sausages were okay vs £1 without a trigger after all (90p net I hope).

The SAs again (happened to be different store and different one) are totally useless. I handed over my 1p ginger - she must have done a price check of it but not scanned it. So it's brought my fortunately nine items down to 8, as I put in an additional different SP tin of soup. I'm not bothering about the ginger - as far as I'm concerned, I presented it to the SA and the total bill was the total bill as announced, agreed and paid. Does not help though - as it would have been 1p but appear at 2p and compare vs 2p so could have rounded up to the nearest penny and been the same effect anyway.
Tell me one of my items doesn't appear:(:(!

I got the Jazz apples despite not checking their B/C before going out. I picked up some that looked like they were £2. They were - and pleased to say, on checking the B/C only now:(, it is the right one! They're not actually 1kg though are they - more like somewhat over 800g - so 61p or thereabouts for a pack like that is a rip-off really given that packs of fruit in Aldi/Lidl sometimes go down to about 69p and have been known to be up to 1kg. Alright, I'm only kidding, a bit, there and glad - if it works - to get some expensive apples down to a better price (for me:D).

Well, my new cheaper Morries, according to msm, the Spring Greens (they were 49p) are now back up to 75p:(. So, same old same old. For "new" read "old" and for "cheaper" read "expensive". It is what I said yesterday, in my longer of my posts.

Right, no time to hang around - I'm off out now, as being called by family, and no time to fit Morries and that in. Not to worry - I've decided Wednesday afternoon will be a big price collection!!:):)

Have you tried the autistic friendly screenings available at some cinemas? I know you might think that it doesn't make much difference, as I did.
If you get the opportunity, try it. a it's amazing how much difference 'cutting the crap out' makes
.......for DS2 it really was an opportunity to enjoy what he was there for. If the opportunity arises again, I will definitely be taking him.
And as ever I like to support ventures making the effort to adjust things to an autistic level

But just to say no, not yet. I have thought of going to one if/when they run them in my area as will be a bit different and I like to try out new things you see!:D:j With me though, I know others have problems but I was diagnosed in adulthood and I suspect part of the reason (no, I know part of the reason) was because I don't have problems like this that would make it more obvious - throughout my younger years, I went to 'normal' cinema screenings with no problem. I like action adventure stuff and shoot-em-ups and lots of noise:D:D - some of us can be attracted to noisy things - so never had any problem. I'd like to go to an autism-friendly screening though, just to see what it's like. And, no, I've no problem with screaming kids!!:D

I'm not sure about this:think: - but maybe I don't have a clue about it. It seems to me the things that are being said not to be Asperger's could well be Asperger's. If that's so perhaps I'm not on the spectrum after all. Yet I was diagnosed, carefully, and do have issues with eye contact (even though in the clinical session context I made good eye contact). I'd need to see the person who wasn't diagnosed in order to make any further comment - did he have good eye contact or not - but even if he did doesn't mean it wasn't totally different in a non-clinical setting. There are clearly different brains, even if no uniform pathology and could well be that those being said to be misdiagnosed aren't misdiagnosed at all but are correctly diagnosed whilst the non-diagnosis might not be correct. Maybe the brain would clearly show some differences that could question whether in fact a non-diagnosis was correct.

Just a few hours left to vote for Harley Hearing Dog. His owner has said she will give any prize money to Hearing Dogs for the Deaf charity. Harley is in the lead at the moment. But you never know, 2nd or 3rd place might get a rush of vote.

Thank you to everyone that has voted xx

NO, not seen it before in my store... They don't even sell loose grapes, only pre packed...

Found a couple of Hot Cross Buttons today. They're very odd but strangely quite nice - not worth more than a penny though! :rotfl:

Evening luvlies, hope everyone has had a bit of sun today, so nice to get my feet out .

I've seen it posted already that bacon is good to go, was for me for a shop done at 1.15pm

Just back from town and went to a larger sada to get my Pimms - can't drink it myself but will be nice to have with BBQs.

For those of you with a 99p store nearby, I got some smashing drinks. I remember aau1 getting the 4 x Pear J20 in Mr T a while back. I couldn't get any myself then but just picked some up in the 99p store . I also bought 4 x 275ml Feel Good drinks, the Feel Bubbly Orange & Passion Fruit which is sparkling and the Feel Fruity Cranberry & Pomegranate which is still. The fruity one is on offer at Ocado and down from £3.66 :eek:



Hope I haven't shot myself in the foot and the shelves are bare if I go back to get some more later in the week :rotfl:
