Cover the floor with the dogs towels then when you put him down he sort of drops his shoulder onto the floor then goes round and round in circles drying himself constantly switching shoulders, then on his back for a shimmy :rotfl::rotfl: he seems to go on forever. Funny watching him
:rotfl::rotfl:
Pook used to stand & sulk until it was over & then we wrapped her up & carried her to back door where she would do that shake that goes right to the end of her tail, 3 times & then could be let in - then would nose dive wipe herself on the curtains, sofa.....Our Family Motto ~If all else fails - read the instructions...

The multis were off all night (msm) - in the sense that they were still not there at the time I went out (about 9.15am) - and I noticed they had appeared sometime before 10am. I now think they were on at the time of my shop (9.30am). Which... might have worked, except the check came after midday update and I think it then works back to what was on msm at the time of your shop.
In other words, if you buy at 8.30am, multis come on at 9am, you are okay as checking at 11.30am gets the 6/7am update. You could have shopped after 9am and it still be okay. However, if there had been an update (e.g. at 12.15pm), the update would then take the 9am cut off into the system.
There's two updates - 6/7am and midday/12.30pm. If multis are absent at 6am/7am, it works through till the midday/12.30pm reaches the system. If multis are still off at that second update, it works until 6am/7am the following day. It both depends on when you check and when you did your shop. In other words, shopping prior to 6am/7am would have worked (in the sense of getting A full prices) as multis obviously weren't on at 12/12.30pm yesterday, indeed the offer was not even on then, although the Sainsbobs price would have returned full on such a shop:(. Shopping after the 6am/7am update, at any time as the mbuys were not on msm at the 6am/7am update time itself (it's some point between those times and varies slightly each day), would have worked - even if after the mbuys had appeared on msm - as long as receipt check is before the 12/12.30 update, at which point it depends on whether your shop was before or after the mbuys had appeared on msm.
There are no updates other than morning and lunchtime (approx.). Msm may change in the afternoon (I've seen Morries pricing being changed around 4pm after I've returned and got them from instore) and in the evening (I've seen it changing around 8 and 9pm, which is why I thought shopping after 9pm was risky), but none of this affects the APG (until the next update, around 6/7am the following morning).
As usual the multis were off all night. They can be off all night or all week but as ever they always appear at the precise moment that I go out shopping:mad:. They weren't there when I went out; they were on msm when I returned. Yet again:(.
Sorry Savvy, you've lost me :huh: I need to read your post again when I have more time and try to understandHowever I still believe your shop failed because of the morning update not the midday one. I've seen many people, including myself check receipts from the previous night after the morning update and it works. The only occasion I recall where this was different was with the Walkers crisps last year. It was a 14 bag which msm was seeing as a 12 bag. it was coming up as the wrong item. Someone didn't check their receipt until morning and lost out when others who checked the previous night (I think some were even after midnight) got the glitch
Looks like a bunch of stuff might be going on tomorrow too.
I've not had time to look for any likely glitches but here's my log for anyone who want's to take a look.

Ask them to put 1 through twice or leave all bar 1 in trolley and tell them you have 6 all together.
OMG I am such an idiot - yes I should have gone through SS and scanned 6, bagged them and then done the 2nd lot but also scanned a bottle from the 1st lot
that would have worked and at least I would then have had 11 bottles and £9 in COS cashback.
sainsbobs would have thought they had sold one more than the actually had though
I told you I still had a head full of cotton wool :rotfl:“Create all the happiness you are able to create; remove all the misery you are able to remove. Every day will allow you, --will invite you to add something to the pleasure of others, --or to diminish something of their pains.”0 -
Hi
Just popping in to say I've just bought 3 Barry M nail varnishes from Tosca Direct in the 3 for 2 and then used my £5 Orchard voucher so only paid £2.98 :j0 -
Another question regarding cheese
I tried to add Anchor cheese to my basket which is supposed to be £4 !!!!!!, £2 asda but it insists that my store only sells the light version - oh well it will have to do.
so I added 3 packs for £12 and I still cant get a cheese MOC to work :mad:
