    In fact, two purchases of 3 for £1.00 but sadly the Jelly Tots, which are non-compare here, don't take all the saving:rotfl:.

    Careful, careful, slowly, slowly...I could have another glitch.

    Kopparberg Cider - Raspberry version 500ml showing £2.25 on msm but no mbuy (watch it come back on in 2 minutes:(). 3 for £5.00 and then maybe full price comps (vs T?) in that offer?

    Noted that the Kopparbergs that are on 3 for £5 on a.com say 3 for question mark question mark 5.

    Didn't get anything off the Kopparberg womble as it had not enough items - they stuck the same one, whichever it was:(.

    Is it Morries price collection again tomorrow?:rotfl: Laughing as seeing how long I can keep up all this Monday and Wednesday thing. (Someone'll tell me that the agents for T collect on Tuesdays and Thursdays then I'll never be here ever again:rotfl::rotfl:.)

    Keep a watch on the Kopparbergs. Bump my post at daylight about the Vimto 2L cordial (original NAS:rotfl:) to see if it works in the morning. Be good among yourselves whilst I'm away. And I'll see you after Morrisons tomorrow - possibly afternoon, maybe evening.

    Good night.

    Hi Savvy,

    I don't know if this helps but I bought the vimto 2 days ago and it compared to £3.50 then.

    +£5.21

    1 x ASDA Chosen by You Minced Steak & Onion Pie (150g) £0.50 N/A
    1 x Kellogg's Variety Pack (8x24g) £0.98 £2.09
    2 x Princes Tuna & Mayonnaise Paste (75g) £1.00 £1.00
    1 x I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spread (1Kg) £1.50 £2.75

    1 x Oreo Cookies - Original (10 per pack - 220g) £0.88 £1.89

    Comparison total (compared products only) £11.06 £16.27

    :( It isn't comparing to £3.50 as at Tuesday afternoon. It's comparing to £1!:rotfl:

    Oh. You're reminding me now of another one... having remembered the Cow & Gate toddler milks vs M, as a result of looking through baby items on Avs S - I've now added those to the M list - now :idea:Harrington's Optimum Rabbit Food 2kg, vs M:). There we are:T. (I'm v. useful as a pub quiz team member sometimes too - just nothing too obvious, has to be more obscure:rotfl::rotfl:.)
    This is my recollection now from Monday btw, could well cheekily alter [Strike]tomorrow[/Strike] [Edit: :eek: I got it wrong] today - I'll go and add it to the M list (it's just under 25,000 characters again now - just had that message:rotfl:). See you later!:):)

    Each item showing redeemable once on both Cs and CoS for me

    Yes, £1 for each item, 3 different items (hot dog, smokey bbq rib, chicken sandwich with mayo), apologies if this wasn't clear. So 6 items total on 2 receipts (or 12 on 4 receipts if you have someone else in your house with accounts). That said, other items in the range are £1.99 each or 2 for £3 in M at the moment according to MSL (I cannot see these three) so they are not currently free like last month.

    Thanks for that, have heard a few different reports about it working, then stop working after a few months.

    I am so annoyed at docs really, he suffers with migraines alot and misses school every 3 - 4 months for a few days because they come so bad, and yet the docs cant do anything or give him anything for that either due to his age, and now possibility of having IBS, has all the symptoms and again, cant do anything due to his age, the poor thing has got to suffer until he turns 16, we have seen a few different docs, because I thought the first one was fobbing us off.

    That sounds really grim - poor boy. :( I assume your son has tried avoiding common trigger foods for both IBS and migraine. If not, that would be worth a try. Details here: http://www.gwh.nhs.uk/media/140791/ibs_self_help_diet_sheet.pdf


    If you haven't already done so then try googling 'IBS and migraine link' - you will see there is evidence to suggest there is a link betwen these two conditions. This website is interesting,
    http://www.everydayhealth.com/ibs/the-relationship-between-ibs-and-migraines.aspx
    "A 2005 study, for example, published in the Polish Journal of Neurology and Neurosurgery found that 23 to 53 percent of people with IBS experience frequent headaches, and that 10 to 20 percent of the population suffers from both migraine headaches and IBS.

    Another, published in BMC Gastroenterology the following year, reported that people with IBS were 40 to 80 percent more likely to also have migraines, fibromyalgia, and/or depression than people without IBS.

    More recently, a 2012 study published in Current Pain and Headache Reports found a further connection between migraine headaches, IBS, and celiac disease, the intolerance to gluten."

    There also appears to be a connection between IBS, migraine and Seratonin, "One specific player is the brain chemical serotonin. “Serotonin is a major neurotransmitter of the gastrointestinal tract that plays a relevant part in IBS as well as migraine,” Chait said."

    It might be worth investigating whether or not taking a herbal extract of St John's Wort might help as this has an effect on Serotonin levels and has been shown to reduce anxiety. It is readily available over the counter in Boots etc but quality and strength varies enormously. A good supplier of hjgh quality, organic StJohn's Wort is: http://www.avogel.co.uk/herbal-remedies/st-johns-wort-hyperiforce/

    WARNING: your son should not take ST John's Wort if he is on any other medication without checking with his GP first.

    Best of luck - it is horrible to see our children suffering.

    Good morning. Sitting outside with my coffee and it is lovely.

    Asda chosen by you lemon meringue ice cream has no multi on MSM. Does anyone know if it is in the 2 for £3. If it is and you also buy the vanilla, could work out at approx £1.85 for them both against T. Never tried it but sounds nice.
    It could also act as a trigger for others in the 2 for £3.
