    Special hugs Savvy x

    I don't need them. It's the families of all those people we think of.

    Although, with that, :o:oI'm getting (back) to the M list task.

    Yes, on my list already, I hope (EDIT: oh, one that wasn't there - not necessarily missed as such, did have the range from my M stores and then in doubt as to whether some were the same thing so left them off - doesn't mean any of the ones on my list will work though:rotfl:). But my eyes are turning to this: 1 x ASDA Milk Chocolate Cookies (5) £0.50 N/A. Saw some Smarties Cookies in M at 99p with some "More" points. Doubt it's any good:laugh:.

    I spotted them earlier, 200 point wasn't it ?
    A terrible deal!, but if yellow stickered at 9p might be worth a test.

    Thank you :)

    Before I forget this is my muller shop from Monday. The 10 for £4 offer in a5da is still not showing on MSM

    1 x ASDA British Semi Skimmed Milk 4 Pints (2.27L) £0.89 £1.00

    1 x Warburtons Toastie Thick Sliced White Bread (800g) £1.00 £1.00

    Comparison total £10.40 £8.35

    You can't be as "bad" as me though, as you still don't go and remove the milk from that shop:rotfl:. (How could you omit to do that?:eek::eek::rotfl:)

    I'm now buying mine separately(:laugh:). As usual, we know more than they do:( - paid for my last milk outright with an APG and didn't need any cash. SA said try that receipt, you might get another voucher!:D (Doubt it, I thought - I've only bought the one item:rotfl::rotfl:.) It does set the level though - that we think, or just because we do, we assume, that they will realise when APGs are big, but in fact they have no clue as to how they are calculated! Perhaps it's just me (or me and Evangeline) - I/we can't imagine other people having different perspectives to us:(. Except that I so reinforce it on myself that other people might have a different view that I'm even more acutely aware that that is so:j:(:undecided:rotfl:.:)

    Regarding the milk removal (or lack of:D), it's because there would still have been 8 different items without it of course...!

    [1] I doubt it's any good even after a comparison that I was going to look to see if there was.

    [2] Indeed:D. (...But then, of course, not on a Match and More shop ... unless you're of the reckless type and know your chosen competitor is N/A on them. But I suppose you're not reckless if you know that - anyway, I'm defeating my own point, so moving on...)

    Sorry to but in....after my stressful morning with ds2s assesment for autism a.com have been a right royal pain in the rear. I had an order due for delivery between 8 and 10am, my hour slot was 9-10. My appointment was for 10.30, 10 mins drive so I thought it would be ok. 10.20 and still no order so had to go, delivery man phones and says sorry was running late, will deliver around 2pm. I waited and no show again so I phoned and he says sorry again, will deliver 5.30....he didn't flamin well turn up :mad: When I looked online it says order delivered so I phoned cs and they said they would check what was going on....heard nothing back!! Delivery man phoned me again at 9.45pm and says he will bring shopping as soon as, I stressed that I need the breakfast stuff and he said no worries, see you soon...he still is not here :eek::mad::(

    I am so annoyed, if he had said that he couldn't deliver today it would have been better but to keep telling me he was on his way then not bothering :mad::mad::mad:

    Rant over, thanks for listening :o

    If your apg claim would have exceeded the £100, the only part that differs is the message after claiming apg, about denominations 'expect the vouchers as 5p + £1 + £5' will also mention that 'only £13 will be credited as there is a £100 cap' sorry - paraphrasing, but hope you get the gist.

    I am fortunate in not having lost my parents but I know my grandad was holding on. He'd had multiple strokes so ended up in hospice and couldn'T talk. My mum visited every couple of days and watched the decline. One day she said to him it was ok to stop fighting. She went home (15 min drive) and my dad met her at the door to say they'd just phoned to say he'd gone. She felt awful, but more so as I think she wished she'd said it before and then been with him. :( I think the pain doesn't really go away but gets easier to cope with. I think it's a lovely idea to have something of theirs to remember them by, even if it's unusual. :)

    Talking of the daft things you want to keep. My sister asked if she could have dad's dog as she didn't want to see him in kennels.
    All sounds normal you say?
    Dads dog was a concrete collie that use to round up the concrete sheep:rotfl:
    Was a lovely moment of madness.

    We opened the back lounge curtains today as sister likes to adjust them and OMG
    The new neighbour has builders in and taken down dad's relatively new fencing:eek: We popped round and she said 'I knocked last week and there was no answer so couldn't ask'. She is replacing with higher quality and concrete posts and gravel boards. Ok no biggie in grand scheme of things but we want our fence panels back which we are more than entitled to, they would be most useful in patching up summer house and fence on other side.
    No small matter as at least 12 panels gone. She is also panelling between the 2 houses (which was not in great condition but not bad and knocking down side wall to make it higher.

    What got us was they did not pop a note through the door and must have known since they moved in what they intended. We also know Dad would have said no as fence was in great condition and his fence to do how he wanted. Should these people move out the next residents would expect us to upkeep the fence.
    Dad would also have said no to affirm his dominance as the long standing resident.

    Sure solicitor can find a solution we are happy for her to go ahead providing she returns our fence to us. If not then money will need to be paid for loss of fencing material s.

    Sorry long rant but needed that. Apart from that day went well but tougher day tomorrow. FC will send photos tomorrow as late now.

    Spent a lovely evening with ds2.
