Hello.:) M list being done 'as and when', as becomes clear below, but some of it updated. The urgent one I need to mention I think is if you want the King Edward Potatoes (2.5Kg) you very very likely need to beat the price collection as they've gone up in price in M. They do compare vs £1.24 at the moment. This is not best price (about £1.11), my usual price for 2.5Kg bags is £1.00 or sub., and I think will work out much dearer very imminently indeed.

I've noticed a few price increases today in A:mad: - maybe watch for old SELs but no such luck for me. S/P Long Grain Rice 1Kg now 60p:eek: in A, but still 40p vs T/M (is picking up 40p price for M currently, who knows what will happen tomorrow?). S/P Mild Grated Cheddar (500g) £2.34 in A but still £2.21 in M. Again, comparing vs M at the moment but who knows what the APG will go on the new price collection (it should stay the same). Northern Ireland, that is a price increase for you as it's only comparable vs M (which you don't have:(). Price increase for everyone:(:( - I knew it was 'too good to be true' for A - Gala Apples pack (600g) was 84p now 98p. Non-comparable.

A few price increases for M, particularly frozen food. Bird's Eye's "Perfect for BBQ" Beef Burgers - were £1.29, now £2.59:eek: - how can something go from £1.29 one day to £2.59 the next?!?:huh: New Covent Gardens back up, and Linda McCartney off too, as well as the Giovannis. All back up in price. Some good 'flash' offers for M (I'm afraid too good as they are starting today and due to end on 2/11) but I think I'll mention them later as not for the APG just yet! (They are already on the M list, amongst the items now in bold.)

Well I wasn't originally going to do this and I don't know why I did - I started off at the fresh fish shelf (near the entrance of this M) and noted all the "More" points offers. Then I proceeded to get "all" of them from the rest of the entire store:eek::rotfl:. By the time I reached the Bakery area, I was about to wane - but I kept going. Way too many in that area for my liking(:rotfl:). I kept on, and, several aisles later, I reached the fresh cheeses and starting to wane again - just quite a few there, but I kept it going. I got to the tinned meat and veg. - wished there weren't that many there again. Later, I was in the cereals aisle - oh no, not yet more!!:rotfl: By that point, I was wishing there weren't any "More" points offers in the aisles at all. Round by the long-life fruit juices - oh no, not more!:rotfl::rotfl:

Finally, I emerged (while doing the normal price checks as well!) - and nearly 3 hours later. This is just the pause stage, to check what I have and then go back to get the rest. There was quite a lot, and it turned out I'd missed a couple of the aisles completely! I mean, how could I miss the seasonal aisle, with all the bright set-up and tempting chocolates? Fortunately, they weren't any bonus points items in that area - fortunately from my POV on the checking at that point but probably not from our POV more generally elsewhere!! Further check for the normal price collection of a few items in another store later on, and :(came across a handful more items that had extra points that I had not seen in the first store.

Total time taken (not including travelling time) 4 hours 20 minutes (no break as this was after lunch) - so I'd allow about four and a half hours to get details of all of M's points offers if you are going as fast/slow as me - although I was doing the normal price collection alongside - mhoc I'll send you the invoice for my time:rotfl::rotfl:.

So, I have about nine sides of paper of More points offers. Will probably take the same amount of time again to write them all down on here:rotfl::rotfl:. I bet someone will now tell me the entire list is available straight away on the M app. Anyway, I've taken "all" of them, totally regardless of whether they are good or bad offers. If there are any further ones in the petrol station shops, I won't have those as my checks did not cover that area. I got caught up in the rush hour traffic on the way back as well, which was not supposed to happen!

I joke about invoicing for my time btw, once I started I couldn't stop:rotfl:, but I won't be repeating this. Or maybe, once the 'entire' list is available, it's then, in theory, easier to delete ones off when they are removed and add new ones on?:think::rotfl::eek::rotfl: (I suspect not!) And I shan't be doing this exercise again (I think I said that last time, about the M list itself:rotfl:). So, as you can understand, it'll take ages for me to go through all the pages and simply write down each one that I have and there are a few bits of price collection items here and there too (lost, in the midst of somewhere in that:rotfl:). I'll remember a few more items to add to the M list (that is, the normal one) doubtless 'soon' (tonight, tomorrow) and I'll work on the points list separately away from here and eventually it may appear. Think I'll deliberately leave one item off my "complete" points list just to see if you can find which one it is:rotfl::rotfl:.

Ok, time for more Halloween bits. Firstly:

https://www.hersheys.com/celebrate/halloween/recipedetail.aspx?id=8912

withces broomsticks, I think could be made from some cupcakes and matchmakers.

White Marshmallows with a couple of dots of choc sauce/melted choc can be put onto the top of a straw in a Hot Chocolate.

Halloween Fonts for signs etc.

http://www.ellaclaireinspired.com/my-favorite-free-halloween-fonts-i-know/

Craft Tool set half price at maplin - Ideal for Pumpkin Carving:

http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/rolson-36-part-hobby-and-craft-set-n15ax

£6.50 - and if you are lucky they have one in stock near you.

To make a nice little decoration, you can easily make a miniature carved pumpkin from an orange. Cut the top off an orange, and then cut a cylinder of flesh out of the inside, leaving some orange flesh. Carve you face into the orange carefully, making sure you go through the skin and the pith, but not through the flesh you left behind.

Then stick it in a warm place - airing cupboard, radiator etc, to dry out, just like you would with an orange slice for an xmas decoration.

As it dries out, the skin goes much textured and pumpkin like, so looks even better. Then you just need to pop a light inside it, a small torch or LED is great and you have an orange sized glowing pumpkin, ideal for a shelf or a table. And, because a dried orange keeps, you can put it away for next year.

I will add more stuff when I find it, hope it is useful

I am quite a hero aren't I?:):)

Right, I shall do the "points list"(:eek::rotfl:) 'at my leisure' tomorrow - supposed to be horrid weather here so might be something to keep me going indoors - off and on when I please - but might be something by the end of tomorrow night. Hoping this does not get carried over into Wednesday - if so, it will be mostly done I suspect and able to post what is "done" at that point, but might eventually be "complete" by the weekend (with quite a few offers then due to expire on 2/11:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:).

The usual M list - I've done 'what I've done' and will just go and have a look now through some of the stuff to see if a few more new items to add.

Keeping me busy:D. See you later!:)
