    Hi All,

    Can I ask a quick question please :O
    I did a c&c at A's today for candles etc & they subbed them. APG is showing with originals so good results :)
    Can I return the unwanted subs? They are same brand but cheaper version
    Thanks you :)

    I wouldn't willow as I'd already benefitted from the APG....but each to his own:o

    Oh I am so pleased :j:j:j Look what I got......for free :D :j:j:j

    They're Japonica Loquat (Japanese Plum) trees, about 5 feet tall. I went to pick my OH up from his woodwork thingy. I was talking to the guy who runs it and I mentioned that they looked a little big for the pots they were in (I was just saying!....OH was rolling his eyes) and he said they were left from when they ran a small nursery there that's closed now and he asked if I wanted them :D

    Ive just looked at the price of them and ones this size would have cost me £80 each to buy :T:T:T

    Oh what fun I had getting them home! :o :rotfl:

    Well, hooray on the grapes:T:T, as at least they don't lose me anything themselves vs Morries. (At long last!!) No good though, rest of comp. didn't work.

    The Big & Fresh Eggs btw are still on Avs T at £1.50:T.

    I thought Morries are 400g on the grapes:think:, which is outside the weight limit so they should never have been comparing in the first place and often losing us out:(. Glad they've put that one right - for now. (Watch it come back next collection:(.) On balance I think better it doesn't compare at all as although M 2 for £3 might have given us 30p the chances of them getting two seem somewhat less and more likely to have bought one and lost us more. The grapes are still a booger on comps vs T, vs S and vs W as comparing to higher prices there:mad:.

    We could really do with M introducing their own version of milk - call it like the 'Nature's Nest eggs' or something and making it go N/A. Pls, Mr M, can you get rid of your standard own brand milk and rename it to something else?;) Or bring the single unit price down:( (:( that they have £1.39 individual price in M).

    If you didn't want them, why didn't you reject them when you picked up?
    It's a bit naughty to get your APG then return them and get a refund as well, after all what did they cost you?

    That's just my opinion though.

    Shop from yesterday - now released from quarantine, hoping that the Robinsons would pick up 74p prices at M. They have, although they have also picked up A mbuy. The Kingsmill products good fillers, on a womble, vs M in the light of them picking up A's mbuy (also both return N/A vs Waities - but more expensive overall on T and S). Shame about the Kellogg's Variety pack.

    i would be really interested to know how much this costs, i wrote a few childrens books that were going to be published but the company went bankrupt and i would love to get copies done for my grandchildren, mine was Kevin the Kiln Dragon, a vegatarian baby dragon from snowdon who run away from his family and ending up living in Porthmadog Pottery and firing the kilns,:D
    When I've done it I'll let you know. Spent two hours on blurb today, it looks good so far. It was saying a 20 x 25cm book (bound and properly printed) was £17. Obviously the more you get, the more discount. I also saw a 20% off code on there
