Hiya T42 I have had the bug and was poorly last week but on the mend now and hope it doesn't come back

Poppy is her normal daft self but still my babygirl :A

I noticed you had been doing the quiz so was around

Hope you make a full recovery - make sure you take care of yourself! You're an angel :A (actually, even more than that!!) for taking such good care of your mam. I've been having a bit of a catch up just now and you're incredible for putting up with her attitude sometimes. I realise you don't hear it enough (or at all) but I tink you are wonderful for doing what is a thankless job...and yeah, I know you're doing it out of the goodness of your heart and not for thanks, but sometimes its nice to hear that your efforts aren't unnoticed, or indeed unappreciated. Bless you.

And yay for Poppy! Hope she's been fine in this freeeeeeeeeezing weather. At least we're not having thunderstorms eh!

As for the quiz, I totally suck! Even if its really, really easy, I still manage to get em wrong or take forever to finish it. I need to go back to school and do some learning before giving it a proper go. Plus it doesn't help having fat fingers.....or at least, thats my excuse!

Get better soon x

Thanks for this Bubbs, none in my local, but I've just checked MSM and it seems to be comparing favourably for an APG



Not sure I've seen it in my little ex Netto but will have a look tomorrow

Don't think so. This is 500g in Sains, so looks to be outside of the weight range from A's 600g and will be an N/A. It seems to be a 'buy in Sains':(, although could be on a BM shop as it won't compare vs A!:D Not much reason why though, seeing that you don't need a minimum spend but 10 different items, unless you have a cond. spend but the price reduced to £2.40 doesn't help as much:(:( (never satisfied am I?:rotfl:).

Msm shows up to the half the size or double the size whereas the A is 10% weight range. However... :think: there's no mention of a weight range anymore in the APG T&Cs, and I can't see any in the FAQs, so does the 10% weight limit even apply any more?

Major change in M today - there's no point me spending significant time writing out the list of changes on this post only to put the same information onto the M list later, so I won't! Therefore, it's a case of "see M list", which will likely be updated sometime in the night. Instead, I'll mention a few things that are *not* going onto the M list - to think that I would have seen these prices as good not too long in the past... but, now, they don't seem that good:rotfl: - I'm fed up of little sachets and packets of stuff at 50p - I've decided that's way too expensive. Some Ainsley Harriot Cous Cous are at straight 50p in M, but not even bothering with that these days. Nor I am bothering with those Santa Maria seasonings or even the Gaucamole squeezies for Tvs M that I would have compared to £1 prices some years ago even though they are now 99p.

Dolmio Pasta Vitas and Uncle Ben Rice Times at £1, again not bothering with these days. Lots of Dolmio Sauces 500g and 480g at 90p in M (they mainly say £1.80 and 2 for £3 on msm - that is wrong) but wouldn't bother with those anymore, instead suggest the 750g Dolmios in M at £2.60 vs £1.48 A (actually that's worse:eek: as nearly 99p per 500g, and worse still per 480g - though it would be worse to buy the 500g/480g ones on an M vs A shop as that would doubtless reduce your Match points) - all seem no good anyway except at glitch time.

The Tilda Rices have gone down in price as I predicted, but only to £1:(. Although at least we were right - or rather I was right - I - to want the poor offer they were on last week to end. However:

The 7Up cans packs and the Tango cans packs have indeed gone to £1.59 today:D:D. A very precise price, predicted to the exact penny by myself - gosh these supermarkets are very predictable:rotfl:. It doesn't help though, as it now removes any match points vs T and has us having to buy £1.60 more to get the £15 spend but now for nothing back:(:(. So, avoid - unless perhaps using as a filler vs A, although it gives nothing back and it doesn't get much to the £15. Seems best to wait until T's offer expires (said to be in a couple of days' time) and then buy Tvs M. However, these are really expensive 6x330ml cans and you don't even get 2 litres. £1 would have been my guide price for 2L (not 1.75L, note Coca Cola:() and even then would expect glitches vs that. The cans seem to be a very expensive way of owning pop.

But, maybe, one out of my two predictions were correct. Or perhaps one and a half out of two - the Tildas did go down but not to 79p. There are some own brand M ones at 79p, but no good anyway and there's been an own brand one in A vs T at 49p before, so they're all way expensive anyway:rotfl: - however it seems my M predictions are better than the deals predictor. I think the deals predictor counted as correct predictions deals that had gone on, even if not to the amount of discount that the deals predictor wanted - so, if that's the case, I did correctly predict that deals would go onto these items! Fwiw, as I'm now probably suggesting neither of them are any good:rotfl::rotfl:.

Good evening btw!:)

M list will get updated 'at some stage' and you can check back tomorrow daytime to see what's happened!:)

BB...what a fab position to be in. You WILL make the right decision I know. Sleep on it and see how you feel tomorrow:A

Logie.....I feel a little disappointed in your colleagues too. As you weren't around when the holiday rota came out, surely someone could have let you know...they must know you have little ones .........how greedy not to leave you even one single week:mad:

Snap-ant, fourp, sorry to here your news. We also felt that care at the Heath could have been better. Hope the operation is successful.

Apologies but so far out of the Elite loop I could be on another continent
Apologies for my absence but it is a stressful time

A quick update

Fourps Mum had a bleed on the brain on Christmas day. She was transferred to the Heath hospital in Cardiff where we expected treatment,
Unfortunately nothing was done except she had to lie horizontal & not move until today when the Registrar returned to work
On Sunday she got worse & was giving up the will to live :(:(
Today she was meant to have the blue dye thing in her brain to see the extent of the bleed.
I am only receiving texts from Fourp who has stayed with her, instead she was operated on at 10.30am & did not come out of theatre until 4.30pm.
She is now on a high dependency ward & things are grim

Why oh why did they leave her for so long?

My Parents have gone home & I'm working until Weds - so on a limb here.
She will never have the same quality of life & our own lives will have to change to look after her.
Fourp has no intention of coming home for several months as his position is by his Mother's side ♥

Anyway enough of me & my troubles, just needed to write it down, please skip & ignore me

Snap ant my prayers are with you and Fourp for his mam

Just a quick bump

Dave, I'm not sure about this, but you could always simply not pick it up unless you are using e-vouchers; in which case I fear you may lose them. If you just got Heroes then you SHOULD be ok as they are on offer in S until 1/1 according to S's website . hth
