I do indeed. Thank you for the tip.

A new one recently opened in our town, which I have yet to visit.

I went into ours yesterday - some really lovely Christmas stuff.

If you are on a tight budget just take cash with you - I always end up spending far more than I thought

I would nerfy but it would be too heavy as the postage is:eek::eek:when he was home last time I gave him lots of stuff but he could not take it back with him as he always flies Ryan air and is restricted on weight and being like Nannylala will not pay for excess baggage;)

I love baking but don't get much chance. What I would give my eye teeth for is the really expensive baking pans that turn out every time.

Piping bags and nozzles.. once you start doing that, you can't stop But i do agree that decent baking tins (for victoria sandwich/loaf tin for tea breads etc) are brilliant. Not very sexy but practical

Morning all :whistle:

I bought some cheap sandwich tins from Homebase for about £1.50 each and they've been absolutely perfect. I had a lot of problems turning out cakes using a giant cupcake mould but I started using Dr Oetker's cake release spray and never had a problem since. Honestly could not recommend it enough and it lasts for bloody ages

Massive hugs to Gocat, Dip, Locarr and Strewth :grouphug: x

Just tried this at my Morries. The coke worked both price match and more points but the Comfort wasn't price matched although I did get allocated the more points so got a refund on that. Thanks rebeccalb x

Ta for this, nothing lost then, at least someone tried it and then got a refund - did you try 4 blue sky ones?

I think its going to be very much trial and error

52 items on A and 56 on MSM ... doesn't particularly help us as the wrong way round but it suggests that there may be others in A that may not be currently flagged in the offer?

HTH

I went for an extended browse at A's last night to see if I could see anything. Nothing obvious' but there was some Nivea wipes showing 3for£5 on SEL. I checked msm and a.com and both were showing it as 3for£6, so I thought I'd test to see what happened at the till.

Till didn't pick up the multibuy, so the SA got someone to do a price check for me, who came back saying that even though they were both showing 3for£5 I couldn't mix and match so it would have to be 3 of the same products to count.

Idiot that I am, I got the SA to take them all off the bill (rather than keeping the shower gel, and getting a 3rd to get the multibuy), which meant that the carefully constructed OS shop I had put together no longer showed up on APG because I didn't have enough different items!

One of these days, I'll actually get an APG shop right. :rotfl:

Hi thanks. Blue skies isn't on my app with the extra points, but it does show as a comparison online so dunno why it didn't compare. Can't remeber who said they'd bought the comfort but if someone could tell us which comfort compares it would be great.

Sorry I'm a mis-informer.
Comfort blue skies did not give more points and was not price matched either. 2x4 bottles of coke and 2x comfort cost £16.50 and I received 3000 match points and 2000 more points. After refund I bought 4x4 bottles of coke for £20 and received 6000 match points and 4000 more points. sorry for confusion
