:(Oh don't tell me msm.co.uk is considering this to be a "Top Offer" in T due to there being 10% cashback showing on it:(:(:
Aunt Bessie's Jam Roly Poly (300g)£1.50:eek:
£1.50 less 10% = £1.35 is NOT a top offer, nor is it in my view even an offer at all.
As it is £1 in W, so Avs W (appears only to have gone on yesterday now, but may need to wait until after 12 noon today, or even longer, for it to reflect in the APG).
Also £1 in M on Monday (yesterday) - but need to wait for APG to update to new price collection. :eek:I'm hoping that's right as msm.co.uk saying £1.50 for M. I do have a clear offer label now on the Jam Roly Poly and until sometime in October (possibly just a week) - I think this product has shown £1.50 on msm before when it was still £1 in M and comparing to £1 on the APG - but that was tail-end of M previous offer, rather than (as now) needing to wait (and wait...) for APG to be updated as this will not work straight away (assuming it even does work vs M).
Sorry Northern Ireland!
Otherwise - these useless 10% offers, where the price elsewhere is already cheaper than that, even without the 10% cashback - do tend to crowd out other things that are far more decent offers:(.0 -

VT your poor dad, you must be so worried. I was so lucky my mum was happy to have me around so I always knew exactly what was going on at times like this it must be so difficult having such an independent parent. I really feel for you. :A
The sad thing is it is not because of his independance it is simply that he doesn't want to see anyone at all. Had good visits this weekend when I went on my own to give my sister some time off but when we visited together he was very badly behaved.
I understand he feels terrible and now is having the burning leg pains but it is simple, he doesn't want to fill every last minute making memories for others he just wants to be left alone. Visits are twice a day lunch time and tea time and he dismisses us when we have done what is needed, usually half an hour.
it is our way of making sure he has not collapsed somewhere.
my aunt wanted to visit with her dgd who is off to australia for 3 years. Dad said he was not a circus sideshow and didn't want her to come.
This is how he feels nothing we can do to change this. As I said he is not a problem when I do visits but can play my sister up merry hell. Maybe because he can with her and knows I will not take any !!!!.
He is bitter that he does not have a wife by his side to help him through this but mum left 25 years ago. They are friends now after a 16 year silence. If anything he should take it out on me as I moved nearer to mum.
Saturday he should have been put on the naughty step it was that bad.
The strangest thing is he has always been very good at visiting sick relatives himself.
Sadest thing is it is his choice and we have vowed to accept letting him do it his way. It does hurt us but he is hurting more.

Remembered some more:). In the cooked meat section of 'buy in M' (see Meat, Fish & Poultry).
Not 40p/100g:rotfl:, but still probably 'alright' - 62.5p/100g - and turns out not to be available in A or, it appears, T. Goes without saying (no, it clearly does not:D) that not to buy any of it unless it is an "extra free" pack. £1.00 for straight 100g is hellishly expensive! It needs to have all that extra free in order to make it any good value IMO. I know people buy them and pay those unit prices on them (£1 for just 100g of other cooked meats, e.g. own brands) all the time but, no, I try hard to avoid them!:rotfl::money:0 -

My mum had burning sensations in her legs I am sure she was given some medication to relieve this for nerve pain, wonder if similar for your dad, think it was called gabapentin but I am not 100% whatever it was it worked pretty well, the dose was increased until last couple months she was on highest dose allowed. I am sure there must be something that can relieve this for your dad so he is more comfortable.
It's good you are getting some quality time with him VT, sad that he feels unable to have you and your sister around more I can't imagine how that must feel for you both. But as you say he is doing it his way, and while he can stay in control of that all you can do is respect it but that must be so hard.
It is a shame when relatives do not get the chance to visit but often it is not how people want to be remembered I can understand that. I had to refuse my cousins visiting in my mum's last week, they lived fairly local and had not been for nearly 2 years, it was for them not her if they came and I knew in my heart she would not have wanted them to see her like that. They had all the weeks when she was in the hospice and didn't go. It was a very hard decision to make on her behalf but I was the one who felt like it was a circus show and living there and caring for her I was part of it by then. I didn't want it either.
Stay strong VT, my heart is with you. :A0 -
