    The wombles are useless, although you know what happens when I say that.

    Not even this (vs Morries) stopped A being more than 10% cheaper:

    1 x Old El Paso Original Nacho Dinner Kit (520g)£3.00£2.00

    One pack of strawberries again:mad::mad::

    1 x ASDA Strawberries (400g)£1.50£2.00

    Though I don't mind these Apricots that much:

    1 x ASDA Apricots (320g)£0.67N/A

    With M's 300g Apricots possibly being 99p (I didn't pay too much attention to that). That would be £1.05 (or £1.06) if compared to with weight adjustment, assuming that to be M's price. I think :idea:M's are 'Ready to Eat' whereas A's are not, or maybe the other way around?:think: I certainly hope there is some very subtle difference that makes them non-comparable if M is a lot more expensive:rotfl:.

    Having a new fridge freezer delivered tomorrow :j

    My fridge broke last week and I been struggling :( gone off milk curdles your coffee so I been using powdered milk ;)

    Was glad freezer not broke seeing it was nearly full.

    Plucked up courage earlier and asked mum if I could order new fridge freezer and pay her back in small instalments :o She said yes :T so I ordered a new one from ao online and its being delivered tomorrow :D

    Get given 4 hour timeslot tomorrow. Freezer got drawers so soon as I see van I will pull drawers out and store in cold spot in house til new one been plugged in 4 hours. ao taking old one minus drawers lol :D

    Found receipt and fridge freezer was over 8 years old.

    I know mum will keep going on til I nearly paid for it but I can switch off like I do with other stuff she says to me :D

    It is worth switching off, just think of the interest you are saving.
    My mum helps me out on big purchase, we just agree a weekly amount and I set up a standing order. She was quite shocked (pleasently suprised) when I had saved enough for my new sofa the other week. Was simply due to my ankle problems I had not really been out of the house much all summer. Well weather has been so good it has been a great money saver.
    Asking your mum was the right thing to do as can't have Poppys dog food going off in this heat:)

    Sure your mum loves you and appreciates everything you do for her she just doesn't know how to show it.

    M comp. being posted as nearest in price. Strawberries again:mad: Also someone shopping under the misguided impression that the half-size packs of Blackberries work out better than having twice as much compare to a somewhat cheaper price than £1.50 (vs T). Even if I was chucking the other 150g away... although I would not: I certainly would use twice as much!:D (May as well...:D:D:))

    13 items (12 different) on your bill qualify for comparisonASDALogoWhite.gif Morrisons

    1 x Wall's Bite Size Chocolate & Mint Feast (8x60ml)£1.50N/A
    Comparison total (compared products only)£18.46£21.58

    Useless isn't it to have only half a frozen ice cream pack mbuy compare? These folks, they have not a clue as to how to do it:(.:rotfl:
    I either - wouldn't be getting on mbuy in the first place if price elsewhere was quite more favourable than even the mbuy price, or would be getting the mbuy but only if there was something about that on msm:rotfl: or if a "favourable" mix and match was available. I certainly would not be comparing to expensive £1.50 pricing elsewhere:rotfl:.

    *In other words, more expensive pricing being "more favourable"!;)

    1 x ASDA Chosen by You Hot Chilli Sauce for Subs (285g...£1.00N/A

    Not liking strawberries on previous comps. and not liking the sweet clementines now being outside of weight in M so they do not compare. I think M 800g:rotfl: at 99p. (Not that you'd buy now, whilst you have enough from the last Sun voucher of course:rotfl::D.)

    The mbuys are back on the Radoxes - wish I hadn't looked!:eek::eek::rotfl::o. Don't think they will work for anyone shopping now.

    Fwiw, it worked on these 'flavours': Clean & Nourish, Clean & Moisturise, Clean & Protect Anti-Bac., Uplifting Grapefruit & Basil (the only four I could immediately find in my store). I don't think it will work now though. At last!:D:D A successful couple of glitch shops - just got there in nick of time, prior to midnight (the start of this morning).:)

    Goodbye and good morning folks!:j

    These might compare favourably vs Morries (msm.co.uk says M N/A):

    ASDA Chosen by You White & Wheat Tortillas (8)99p

    (I'm not expecting M to be as high priced as A;).)
    But, then again...

    "Don achieves a level of selflessness I would imagine being the envy of many Buddhist monks, were they given to envy.
    Don is without envy, competitiveness or malice and that is what makes him so appealing. But he is also extremely eccentric."

    Hmmm. I think all of that sounds very close to home:D:D:rotfl:. (Except the name - my name's not Don, I'm not coming in!:rotfl:)

    (NB: I know it was Dan really.)

    (Hmm..the quote there suggesting that eccentricity isn't appealing. I thought maybe it is, from what I read [reed]? (And I don't go for deliberately being eccentric in order to be appealing. I don't see myself as having to be of "appeal" to anyone - why should such a matter ever influence me? Besides I have no choice - I am eccentric.) :idea:Perhaps they mean extreme eccentricity isn't appealing. Or maybe - and very very likely - I am reading all that way too technically and precisely!:rotfl::rotfl:)

    Oh - apparently you can only click that link once, as it then recognises you and wants you to pay to view it again as 'premium' content:(. I was only checking to see if there was a space - a blank line - between the two paragraphs I had quoted or whether the spacing was exactly as I have it quoted above(:rotfl:).

    Good for you Sue. I won't even pretend Ive felt it but as you know I do know that people can suffer so badly they feel they'd be better off not being here :( and Ive seen from the other side what a truly awful place that is to be in.
    I often wish that it was easier for people in that position to see that the strength it takes to fight that urge is amazing strength! It could probably get you through anything if you used it in the right way.

    I think of you often and have never forgotten your kind words to me when things were bad and you took time off from your own problems to pay a little attention to mine :o :heart2:

    Thank You, what a lovely post.

    Good luck with the shoe shopping, can't imagine having to buy so many at once and what they will cost :eek:
    I hated having to get school shoes, was always a battle of wills. Me wanting fashionable with heels and Mum wanting sensible and not too expensive for my very wide feet.

    When teaching always had a supply of plasters at the beginning of term for the rubbed feet and blisters from new shoes ;)

    Seabrook Crisps are now giving away 7,000 50p vouchers, think this is replacing the free ones we got on Monday as used the same Facebook link to check.
