    Well I'm glad you mentioned the failure FC. It might not be a recommended price to buy at £2 but I also had it as a possibility on an AvM at the weekend. I didn't buy them in the end, but I still had them on my list to try this weekend.
    Sorry to SavvyB for considering the possibility :)

    Who am I kidding that I can work today? :( 99.9% of the time my glass is firmly half full. I am grateful for what I do have and all that......
    Today I can't stop looking at the top of the glass :( Im having a rare day of selfish thoughts about what I don't have. I don't want a response just a place to say it where it won't hurt anyone I love.

    I want my husband back. Not the re-modelled version that was returned to me. I want all the memories that my children were supposed to have that they won't get. I want the family holidays we were supposed to have, the family days out, the photos where everyone is smiling.
    I want to not worry that my children will get married, graduate, christen their own children......and whatever else they do that's important, and always have a parent missing.
    I want to just stop sometimes and know that it won't all just fall apart if I do. I want a rest from trying to convince someone who doesn't want to be here, that they have a reason to stay.

    You don't have to die to lose your life :(

    Thank you for letting me get that off my chest :o Moments like this are rare and thankfully pass quickly.

    Oh lassie. You've nae idea how much I'd love tae get on a train and come doon tae your bit and gie ya a big cuddle.

    All we want in life really is for our bairns to be loved and be happy.

    Sometimes changes happen that we can't put back. But gradually get used to the change. I hope this is the case with your hubby.

    The bairns well plenty kids with aspergers passing degrees and very successful. There a few software engineers been through hubbies office who definitely have been on spectrum. Some have partners as well.

    My nephew is in last year of degree at Paisley. Has great group of friends. Living away from home. My sister never thought would be possible.

    I know maybe you were just venting. Sometimes we need to vent xxxxx

    Now this is very interesting (to me at least) I had assumed that msm would have transferred offer valid dates too - but then how would they know the off-offer price :think:

    No they don't - I originally thought they might but then saw items comparing on a Monday to the then expired prices. As regards an off-offer price, they could have simply reverted to N/A on everything now off offer before the new prices are updated. We were meant to be getting a maximum of 4 Quality Street/Celebrations etc. tins as well to compare vs M's 2 for £7 mix and match - I assume this has now ended in the APG - but I see some of us got more to compare, so obviously that restriction (esp. on mix and match) wasn't incorporated into the APG. The prices for M are only updated twice a week, so that there isn't any update in between during which prices ending on Sunday could go to N/A before the Monday results update. They therefore last through to at least Tuesday.
  • Good afternoon:wave:

    What did you think of the last episode of Downton Nanny?
    I'm going to miss it on Sunday:( Not long to the Christmas special though, i guess:). Everything seems to be coming to an end, the last of Grantchester last night, the last if the Great fire last week. I hope they are replaced by something equally as interesting.

    Hmmm...
    It's possible these may still work now, but I've left them off as not able to determine M's price.

    I had two stores on Wednesday showing £12 on the Carlsberg but one of them showing £10 (in three separate places no less). I nonetheless took £12 as the price, as it clearly went to that on the Monday immediately before (just two days previously) and assumed (never assume...:D) that the store with £10 was wrong. Yesterday I had one store with no pricing at all - just an empty large plastic wallet in front of them and found no stock in a second store. I could have gone to a third store to see what they were there (this being the one that had £10 on Wednesday) but wouldn't have trusted whatever price I'd have seen there anyway so I felt it wasn't worthwhile. £12, no stock and £10 - what price would I have picked?!?

    Now I'm aware that it was comparing to £10 on Sunday this week (when on Wednesday last week's price results), it could be that the empty wallet signals that the price is no longer the £12 that was showing there before but has now changed to £10. (I imagined it was the other way around and that the store with £10 was incorrect and the ones with £12 clearly showing were correct, but now turns out that they were wrong....) It could be £10 given that the £12 pricing has been removed, albeit no pricing at all in the store I checked! I still wouldn't risk it though - and, given that I flagged up the end of the £10 offer the previous week, and therefore that 'everyone' would, or should, have bought them back then if they were needed, I thought leave it anyway as people have already been able to get them so no great loss now if it is omitted. There could also be a Scotland thing - if you are in Scotland, you'll need to check whether M is £10 there as it could have a different price in Scotland.
