    Ahh!!
    No, sorry, you might not fully be aware - do not rely on msm for M prices as APG uses instore collection for M.

    That said, there are 'one or two' items in M that my own price collecting misses, mainly because of my feeling of 'msm is there as a back-up anyway'. These are usually items that are on unwanted r'back in A and thus not good anyway. I want full prices and mbuy to glitch. So some may be found on msm and may compare on the APG, additional to my list. I'd rely on my list (I would say that wouldn't I? - but people here will doubtless tell you it is more reliable than msm.co.uk) - the whole point of why I'd gone back, eventually, after a few months, to getting prices from instore is because msm.co.uk is so unreliable (due to the different source that the APG uses for M prices) on the APG's M prices and due to so many items not showing on M's own website and thus not appearing on msm - there is perhaps around a quarter of the price information for M totally missing from msm.

    That 'quarter' is just too high a proportion for me. I'm keeping with the instore collection. Just to let you know, I lost around £1.40 on an APG womble last night:(:(, due to the Original Sources on mix and match (they bought two different ones) failing to pick up M mbuy on APG. M 2 for £3 (as showing on msm) - but APG compared to 2x £2.20:(. Not too happy as M was the 'winning' comp. and voucher reduced quite significantly. So the Original Source mbuy for M may not work on the APG.

    Not that anyone here would ever compare to 2 for £3.00:eek:! (Previous price: £1.10 each or, elsewhere, £2.20 2 for '1'. Reminds me - Kellogg's Crunchy Nut 750g - a savvy buy:( vs T on msm. I would not at all go for this new rip-off buy - now 3 for £6.00:eek::eek:, in other words £2 each and comparing vs paying 43p more for each pack (£1.29 more in total:eek::eek:_pale_) and having you now (I hope not) buying three, as opposed to previous price £1.57 half price. Just needed one pack for that before. "Savvy Buy: you won't find a better offer!" Avoid.)
    thanks so much for explaining, I kind of get it lol but I think it will be a few moths yet before I truly understand it all :)

    It took us 3 years to get planning permission.... I officially do not like planners! The government inspector when she did a site visit, was excellent and told the head of the planning dept. who also attended that she had no idea why they refused permission and it was an excellent design.... but no way to get the additional £25,000 back that they costs us! I love having a rant about the planners!

    One of the houses directly opposite this development build himself a new drive way but had to block it off as the planners said his cars could not get enough of a view to exit safely onto the road and threatened him with court action.
    So now they want to build 2 exits off this estate with upwards of an additional 80 or so vehicles going on and off this very same road :eek:

    Yes - lots of goals again. It was one return Holland goal in response to an Australian goal earlier on. I went for a short toilet break during the first half - and when I came back, two goals had been scored!:rotfl: Then I had to go to the kitchen - heard something from the TV from the living room whilst I'd gone out, thought there'd been another goal scored! Just waiting for me not to be in the room when they score the goals:rotfl:(:(:rotfl:.)

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I try to never leave my sofa when I am watching Manchester United matches because I always seem to miss a goal if I do :D

    We know what to do tomorrow when England match is on ;)

    They are ****.

    They turned us down as the house would block the view!

    The trees and greenhouses on the site blocked the view!!!

    And whose b***dy view!

    Would this person be willing to complain about the planned estate on the same grounds?

    We tried to stop Lidl opening up at the bottom of the road we have to use to get to the road our road is off. It is dreadful there, people think the lights at the junction are purely for the Lidl traffic, the amount of times we have had near misses, even the local councillor has had problems :eek::eek: Had an argument with someone today, I was on my pushbike trying to go up our the lane, I was indicating left at the junction as was the car behind me, I turned and tried to go up the road at which time the driver behind me tried to turn left into me, he stopped the car and yelled at me for cycling in the middle of the road, told him I was trying to get up the road, he said but you were indicating left, I said and I am going left, he reckoned the only left turn was into Lidl :eek::eek: Forced him into waiting while I crossed the Lidl road to go up the lane. Getting utterly fed up of people just not thinking that people use the lane, several hundred residents use it on a regular basis :mad:
