    :D Just got something of my chest :eek: by writing a nasty letter to drunken ex hubby :rotfl::rotfl:

    He used to work for RM on nights till he got sacked.

    Paid into their pension scheme and when he got sacked RM letters got delivered here.

    DS kept taking them down to him and told him to change his address did he :(

    I have rang RM on numerous occasions telling them he doesn't live here and saying I can give his address but :mad: cant do that government data protection etc :(

    So letters keep arriving here :(

    Got one today and it was different size and thicker to others that have been sent so I opened it ;)

    Ex 60 in November so it was what I was expecting its forms for him to fill in to claim his pension. Should be fun for him he will have to change address and they will want to know why he not told them before seeing he's not lived here for 17 years the drunken :mad:

    Also they want documents for proof of who he is :rotfl::rotfl:and other documents.

    I have put envelope and letter in another with a letter telling him he better sort it and if I get another letter to this address I will seek out a solicitors advice because if he claims pension and I still get letters addressed here its fraud :mad:

    Going having my hair cut 12-15 :T so letter will be in post on my travels :)

    I'd be returning to sender, unknown at this address for 17 years. It's not your responsibility. Let him deal with it x

    How exciting!

    My sister has never wanted children and DP's sister can't have them so our girls don't have any cousins and I thought I would never be an auntie.

    So it's a complete surprise for all of us!

    My sister never wanted kids either.
    I think her opinion changed when she was in her 30s and now she's making up for lost time :rotfl:
    I love buying little girls cute dresses :j

    This is exactly what I'd be doing too.
    We had someone who used to live here many years ago (rented out the spare bedroom) move out and not change his address, we ended up getting letters from the court (I'm assuming he owed money) so went into the court reception in person and took it back. We never head anything again :)
    In my opinion if someone can't be bothered to change their address themselves, then it's their problem if they lose out or get in trouble.

    There were 4 ice bucket challenges at yesterday's BBQ, including a10 year old girl who did it entirely off her own back :T

    It's quite funny to watch all these videos popping up on my newsfeed.

    Such a shame that someone died in Scotland because of it though :(

    I've now finished the updating of the M lists (I may do a bit of tinkering with them later so things may change and catch you out, just because I'm like that you see:D). You can see what's on there yourself really so I don't need to highlight much - the Carling (20) packs appear to be off and I've added a Cornetto ice cream pack but, as I say on the list itself, I don't think it will compare.

    Not too much change in M - the Ibuprofen going up in price again:mad: - but :(if my theory is correct, this means that it doesn't look like it's going to be a glitchy price collection this time.

    The Maris Piper Potatoes offer is still ON - so that may stop working when the system is updated as no guarantee that they will continue to pick it up. It should still work though and I'm sure we'll find out (not this time but next time) once I get low on potatoes again and once I go and risk this again:rotfl:. That'll be a while yet, although I shall be running out to shop on Wednesday night if this offer disappears in M tomorrow (I'm not expecting it to), hoping to catch today's price collection and for it to turn out to have been all right.

    Just a few more things to say. [DELETED]

    [Firstly], I've now found the equivalent item in M to these:

    Not that this is any good:( but, fwiw, these do compare vs Morries (everywhere else N/A) for a very minor positive contribution towards the APG:

    1 x ASDA Ready to Eat Roast Chicken Thighs (540g)£3.00£3.24

    That was from a receipt where everything not 10% cheaper than Sainsbobs!:j:j:T:D:beer: [...]
    It appears it may be best to buy in 2s, as these (at 500g, which is within the weight range) are 2 for £5.00 in M. That is on a mix and match, but doesn't seem anything worth mixing and matching with as everything else appears to be much lower weight:laugh:. (I'm only saying "appears to be" as not ruling out the possibility that my M store today might not have the full M range of items.) Besides mixing and matching seen as even more risky on the APG. I don't know about these though - as 2 for £5 (or 10% off weight adjusted price on mbuy) doesn't seem that great a price to me. I'm toying with putting it on the M list - it's a close call. Folks, what do you think? I'll throw this one open to the Elite and I'll go by whatever seems to be the consensus on these as to whether or not to put them onto the list. Vs 2 for £5 price in M. Any good? I seek your views - TIA!

    Finally, I'm happy with the range of items in my M store this morning (seems they've brought in a few more items that they were previously missing, hurrah!) so I won't be going to a second store today:j:D. I can't confirm the price on the Crabbie's Ginger Wine though (more expensive than own brand version in any event:p:D:rotfl:) as I missed looking at it! So, it may or may not work - if anyone sees it in M today, you can tell me if it's still £4.49 (I'm taking a guess it is?!). I'll be doing another price check tomorrow anyway, in the different day-out store!!:D:j:j:D:rotfl::cool: (Just found out earlier my route to that store is a more direct route than I thought and the journey-time estimate is also a bit less than what I thought:T - so, all set, and I shall probably be finished by lunchtime:T:T.) :eek:It's likely that getting across the city during rush-hour takes longer than travelling a bit across the country!
