    Can I just check with Lurpak please, is the Cooking spread £1.25 too instore?

    And have there been any reports of stores where this has not been RTC please?

    just thinking about ordering for later.

    I know if high online and low instore, it picks up the instore price. But if they don't physically scan the item as oos it still picks up the instore price - so it doesn't appear to rely on scanning instore just that the store has that price on their system?

    Yup my one had new lurpak in and it was £3.25

    Afore I go. Toothpaste searcher was it Mhoc ? Superdrug has own brand whitening or enamel care 100ml for 60p.
    Poundxstretcher has colgate for 50p 100ml.

    Pound stretcher not to bad prices if anyone has one locally x

    Every time I go she finds sarcastic comments :(

    I would never dream about telling her what she can and cant wear perhaps I should start see how she likes it :D :rotfl::rotfl:

    Your mother sounds like my mother's twin sister tweets! Does your mother also think she is perfect and that everyone else (especially her dd) is in the wrong? Mine does! Think Hyacinth Bucket crossed with Cruella deVille and that's my mother!

    She thinks that everyone (especially her daughters) should all do everything in exactly the same way as she does and anyone who does anything differently, or who prioritises things differently, is fair game for her sarcastic comments. From how to dust to how to dress, mother always knows best and woe betide any dd of hers who thinks differently!

    Even as an adult (and married mum to three lovely children of my own) I tried desperately to please her and felt so hurt when she kept making sarky comments all the time. She was always good at finding my achilles heel too, saying things about my size... something along the lines of, "I see you haven't managed to lose any weight then." I usually bit my tongue because if I said anything she would respond with, "Can't you take a joke?" and pretend she didn't mean to be hurtful.

    However, one day I smiled sweetly and said, "Yes, I'm fat and happy with a husband who loves me. Being thin doesn't necessarily make people happy you know" (said looking pointedly at her, who is size 10 misery-guts)!

    She's still sarky when we meet but hasn't mentioned my size again since! :j:j:j I've finally learned that it's a complete waste of time trying to please her because whatever I did would not be good enough for her. As she's aged (now almost 80) she has become an increasingly bitter and twisted old lady and I've actually started to pity her.

    Nowadays, if she criticises my clothes I just laugh and tell her how comfortable they are and/or how sexy my husband finds my baggy old jumper. :D That soon shuts her up! If she criticises my cleaning, I agree and say, "I'm too busy having fun to clean Mum. Maybe I'll get better at it when I have time to be bored." :rotfl::rotfl:

    Once she realised that I would give as good as I got (very politely and with a big smile plastered on my face) she cut down on the sarky comments although, I have to admit, she still tries it on regularly!

    Yes, just a tad older than my DS. Life is certainly unfair at times.:(

    MKS - so sorry to hear about your son's friend. Do they know what it was that caused this terrible tragedy in such a young man?
