Thank you I only get 2 benefits help with rent and council tax for being on a low wage. But reading the PDSA page looks like I qualify.

There are quite a few vets around my area but the vet we go as been the family vet for years and also in walking distance.

I wouldn't ask for help if I could afford it , I always know someone will be worse off than me.

If Poppy was proper poorly she would be at the vets and I would offer what I could and pay monthly DD I have done that before with my other 2 dogs . The vet I go is good like that.

I have saved the PDSA page incase I need it in the future.

Hi tweets - in case Poppy does need her foot seeing PDSA may also help after treatment at your own vets - they have a voucher scheme (the owner has to have paid some of the bill already and they will assess after treatment and may then send a donation toward outstanding bill).
May be worth checking if you have an RSPCA clinic nearby. They can treat patients for lower fees/donation (the one near me often has vet students working there as training and is only open certain days). hth

I made pork mince to have with dumplings & it tasted like roast pork - really yummy. The pork curry is no difference to beef curry and in the chilli I can not tell. Would recommend it. Much leaner than beef as well. Very little fat cooked out.

Sorry to quote myself but [1] in the absence of replies I guess there was no info on the cheese. So I bought it and it compared nicely v M. £1.80 after apg for cheese seems ok. [2] Only downside is it appears to finish today according to msl. Hope it helps someone.

Did notice a diminishing pile of Dr O hearts in my store. Might go back for a couple more and a £2 giftcard, charged full price for my whoopsie bread and lost 35p (ish) on my apg. So free bread and a reason to go back to A :T

Hello again!:hello: I know I made far too many posts last night/early hours this morning, but shall I go through, in a methodical and complete way, the posts since I left and reply to them? Yes, I think so:rotfl:.

[1] Sorry for the lack of reply on this - I hadn't seen your OP and hadn't caught up (with anything other than the last page or so at the time I 'appeared' last night) and now still stand no chance of ever doing so. Maybe restrict to the last 24 hours is the idea, no point going back over days and pulling stuff up...anyway, I'm waffling - and I know it!:p:rotfl:

Yes the Cathedral Cheese (350g) - Mature or Lighter Mature (Lighter but Mellow whatever they call it) is £2 in M. I did have a brief thought about it, in the event it missed out on the M list as £5.71/kg is not my price (looking at £5/kg and below) and probably too many of these cheeses available at £2 somewhere - Lake District at £2 in T (appears to be N/A in A), Anchor Cheese at £2 in A (don't I know it - :mad::mad::mad:wombles ruined) - should be T £4.50 vs A - and a couple of Cathedrals at £2 in M - but others at full price:eek: so don't let them catch you out by getting the 'wrong' ones. I seem to concur with msm as to which ones.

These were showing at full price in a couple of my stores and with full price SEL but big offer advertising around the store - I sometimes think that is risky, if they have left full price SELs underneath the offer labels, I had Bin Buddy fail on me three offers ago I believe due to that reason (and been more cautious ever since) but I don't know what SELs are left up, or changed, in the stores the APG people happen to use. Hence though a bit of myself in doubt over the Cathedral cheeses, been on for a few weeks anyway, and not quite making it for me.

[2] Ignore that! This is not a downside at all. The pricing on the APG for M will not be updated until sometime on Tuesday most likely, probably late morning, or maybe even Wednesday (but unlikely). The expiry date of 5/10/14 is therefore completely irrelevant. You can therefore shop for these throughout Monday (I wouldn't delay checking your receipt though, just in case) and they will work - as long as they picked up £2 price for them on the APG (collection last Wednesday). Not Northern Ireland of course.

In fact - and probably best to highlight this - there are quite a lot of offers that I expect to expire today in M. I am expecting tomorrow to be a very big price changeover - far above average - in a way I'm not looking forward to it as my "job" will be cut out (actually that means the opposite of what it might say, as doesn't mean I'm being axed, instead that I will have a hard task:(:(, mitigated by the fact I am prepared for it:D).

Which means that a lot of offers on the M list are now 'last chance'. Therefore, I would say if there is anything you want on the Avs M list (that's probably not one of the 'everyday' prices that has been running on there for months), I would be getting it in A tomorrow now, as it's very likely a lot will be coming off there.

I believe tomorrow will be a big changeover, which means watch for some glitches in A once the Monday collection data gets into the system on Tuesday/Wednesday this week.

Morrisons Extra Mature White Cheddar 2 x 350g for £3.50 @ Morisson
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/morrisons-extra-mature-white-cheddar-2-x-350g-for-3-50-morisson-2016534

As for the cheese, maybe best to get this (rather than risking Cathedral 350g £4 vs £2). I'd have a look tomorrow - thanks for this - and need to work out if anything comparable to this - obviously won't be in the system, if at all, until later in the week. I think there isn't anything comparable in A - will check though.

EDIT: Sorry, misunderstood: I thought this was a twinpack being referred to, but I see it's individual packs of 350g. 2 for £3.50 is normal ongoing offer price for them in M (so much for "hot" deals:rotfl:) - were 2 for £3.00 a year or two ago - then price rises everywhere. These are comparable (different flavours, regions too) from Avs M and have already been known to pick up mix and matches (though of course, can't guarantee on any price collection). See the M list for far bigger S/P cheese vs M (probably quite cheaper than these) and reference onwards to something that was cheaper still - is that still on? All reasons why Cathedral at 10% off £5.71 wasn't considered very good at all.
