    Is there a reason that items wouldn't compare to Morries today? I tested a possible trigger for the 3 for £10 and indeed it doesn't show on apg but the jf elixir should have compared £9.99 vs £6 and it came back £9.99 vs n/a?

    Trigger was John Frieda Frizz Ease Original Formula Hair Serum (50ml)
    £6.00

    Hello

    Hope everyone is ok?

    Can anyone recommend a company to use to order a taxi from Palma airport to resort Puerto Pollensa?

    Many thanks

    Claire x

    Sorry to quote myself but felt I had to share which I think is a good deal.
    ResortHoppa private taxi from Palma to resort (1 hour away) and return back to airport 2 weeks later £137 which was with 25% off code on website and topcashback 8%.

    Other sites as travel republic £186!! :eek:

    I am pretty pleased with that. X
    We're just happy to have a home, a family and our health. Whatever else is just added and it fits. :)

    The failure of the instore price collectors to scan every item when they are instore in Morries.:p (to them not you.)
    Nightmare these doubtless non-autistic workers that get distracted and hold social conversations during 'work' rather than ensuring every single last item is completely and accurately scanned in an effective and completeness manner.:):rotfl:

    I have to quote this midwinter, that plate is just like the set of mum's I took to the caravan. :D

    She had 8 cups, saucers, tea plates but only 4 dinner plates. I have no idea where it came from originally.

    Tart looks delicious. :T

    Thanks Tinyshoes :)

    Sorry for late reply, just catching up on the thread.

    My set is around 30 years old.

    My Mum "collected" for it, as I was leaving home. She used to shop at Budgens, and with every say, £10 spent, you could buy an item from this range, prices varied depending on the item you wanted to purchase.

    Over the years I've added a few bits that I've found in charity shops, to augment what I had originally.

    Now have soup dishes, cereal bowls, fruit bowls, side plates, dinner plates, and an inbetween size of plate!. Also a large oval serving plate, small milk jug, sugar bowl, as well as cups and saucers :)

    So even though it shows as £6 on msm for Ms it doesn't necessarily mean it will compare?

    Here's one argument:

    http://drlwilson.com/Articles/BONES.HTM

    "[FONT=&quot]Pasteurization is evil.[/FONT][FONT=&quot] The main reason for calcium deficiency is the pasteurization of milk. This damages the calcium so that it is poorly utilized, in our experience. It also damages the milk in many other subtle ways.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]Pasteurization was important 100 years ago, perhaps, when infections in milk were common and conditions of cleanliness at dairies were a problem. However, today certified dairies are very clean and no illness results from the use of raw, certified dairy products which are used the world over. The pernicious practice of pasteurization ought to be outlawed due to all the damage it causes to milk. Instead, raw certified milk is illegal in most American states and in some other entire nations. This is due to pure and simple greed on the part of the large dairies, that do not want to clean up their milk and they do not want competition from the small dairies."[/FONT]

    There is a bottle of unpasteurised milk in the fridge here - it has been here since before I arrived nearly 3 weeks ago, I keep eyeing it suspiciously every time I open the fridge :eek:

    I have no intention of going near it, OH's dad is intent on giving DS some _pale_
    You see it for sale here usually via harridans at the side of the road that resemble the Wise Woman in Blackadder :eek:, OH can't understand why I won't try it or let DS try it <insert swear word followed by> off ;)

    I have informed him that it will happen upon pain of death (i.e. his) :):)
