Thank you. I'll be aware for the next lot. Still my best way of spending T points...

Good evening

Well our afternoons bowling was somewhat ruined by a bunch of what I can only describe as ignorant cretins :mad::mad: who thought it was funny to take the pee out of the fact that DS2 was using the bowling ball launcher thingy. So angry that people can be like that :mad: they weren't kids either. They were older teenagers.

I know he doesn't look obviously physically disabled, unless you pick up the awkward way he moves. It's actually quite a feat given his poor balance and co-ordination that he manages as much as he does.

Don't get me wrong, it went right over his head as most things like that do. He knew what was going on but just doesn't care in the slightest was others think of him (which is a blessing at times). It was upsetting for the rest of us though. I didn't cause a fuss about it because that would have given them attention they don't deserve. Instead I walked over and quietly told them that I hope when they have children of their own, they are born with no problems and they never have to listen to others making fun of them. None of them said a word and they left a few minutes later. :mad:

Well said FC. I don't think I'd've been so controlled. I'm sure they will remember that.

Bought a coat online from DP. Going to be in trouble as I think it is the same as the one dd bought before Xmas. Really want the orange one I saw in next but no chance of getting to a store with any left as not online so must be in sale. Will try and check dad's local when next up there and will not use DP coat until certain I can't get anything else. Just can't manage to walk round shopping at the moment and really need a warm coat.

Can you post a photo of the Orange Coat from Next VT?
I regularly pass a Next Clearance store so don't mind looking for you & could post it on to you if they did have one? x

I popped into Sainsbobs earlier and they have Xmas pet toys & treats at 50% off, and Terrys All Gold at 89p or maybe 98p? (not that you lot need chocs lol ).

So sorry to hear about Fourp's mother Snap. I really hope she makes a good recovery.
This puts all our silly gripes & worries into perpective. Sending hugs to you xxx

Nite all x

P.s. the scribbler sale was excellent. Really big choice. I got £29 worth of cards for £9 and am now all set for the year.

Also, anyone who likes Lush- their Christmas gift boxes are 50% off. You can always unpackage and rewrap with new homemade tags for birthdays etc. Some of the stuff in the boxes isn't even Christmas themed

Thinking of Zag :A hoping he arrived at the motherland ok and is tucking into some (Scottish indian) pakora and spiced onions right now :beer:

And lo, Zag did make it tot the land of the promised pakora which was duly delivered and eaten by himself and his beloved parents. And neither did his DW and DS do without the benefit of South Asian/West Central Scottish culinary delights.

Thrice was the word nom emitted from each person's cakehole and hunger was experienced by none therafter..;) :A

M list now completed. I've cheated:eek::rotfl: on the last few and used msm as my useless stores not showing the offers yet. Obviously too much for them to change in one day, and they do the usual incompleteness job that is common of many people - one of my stores even had offers on two out of three Bic razors and failed to change the full price showing on one of them! Totally useless - only knew all three were on offer from a previous store:rotfl:. Prices no good for me anyway, so they don't even make it to the list:rotfl::rotfl:.

The ones I've added are the Kipling Bakewell Tart (way expensive at vs 74p and packs of other Kipling products may be 50p in M anyway), WW from Heinz Cottage Pies/Hotpots etc. and Quorn Fillets 312g to Avs M, and W/S with Aloe Vera (5) to TvsM. There's also some Patterson's Clotted Cream Shortbread showing at 50p in M, but I didn't get that from any store - instead, it's an 'online exclusive'.

I've missed off the Linda McCartney Veg. Sausages and Red Onion & Rosemary Sausages, that didn't work on Monday but wouldn't have worked on Monday anyway. No idea if anything might work with full prices doubtless on different items in different M stores - so anything could happen on the APG - may need several days to bed down, and hopefully pick up the new offer prices on Wednesday for shopping at the weekend. I can't confirm from instore whether the Young's Flipper Dippers are still £1, as not looking for expensive prices such as that (were 87p vs T some while before) but, seeing that they were £1 last week, if this is a continuing offer in M it seems to be less of a risk:eek: on the APG, assuming they are still £1 in M. I'll put them onto the list anyway - I assume they are £1 in M - and I'll catch up with them on Wednesday. Nothing like a good risk:rotfl:. You try at your own peril!

Looking at the Snap & Save offers, it's possible a few may go vs M. These are not free though - and obviously don't get them just for the CB, but only if you already need them (and did you really need them before you read this post?). Perhaps Bisto Bangers & Mash could be vs M at £1. I ought to know, but I don't - I don't seem to have that one on the M list and it may be that it really isn't vs M and is N/A and, instead, is vs T. WW Ocean Pie probably won't be vs M - sadly it's not one of the WWs from Heinzs that are, allegedly, 87p in M. Seems to be no good prices on WW Ocean Pie at the moment, unless it's £1 in M (and that's not, by itself, a good price). BE Classic Garden Mix Steambags (4 pack) might be vs M at £1 (need to wait for update!), but beware as this conflicts with what is showing on msm and m.com.

They also seem to be putting 'half price' (or better) offers on some frozen stuff in my M stores, but leaving the items in the freezers at the end of the aisles with the offers showing a price but not a scannable price, but leaving the full price scannable prices on the same items found in the actual aisles:mad: - again, not knowing how that might affect the APG (if they have similar in their stores) but I'm taking it as being very risky. Brain Faggots for instance - full price in the aisle, only showing 87p price on the end.

I doubt that I've missed the items - such as the other WW Heinz products - it's likely that they are showing full price in my stores. For example, when I came to check, in the car park, my first check, I found I'd 'missed' the "BPBV" Tomatoes pack in my first store, but went I returned into the store, I found that - indeed - there were *no* BPBV Tomatoes packs at all in that store (and I did give a proper look:rotfl:). So I hadn't missed what was really not there to be found. I found them only in a further store. I never say that I am infallible, instead merely that it's more likely that, if there is a mistake or omission, it's because of a reason that lies somewhere else and is less likely to lie with me.

Anyway, that's it - and I'll be back on Wednesday with further updates to the list.
