Just scanned some old Impulse stock and all three of them came back as unrecognisable products. If they are still using the same barcodes now in A stores then they all might be good to go as triggers..

Although I'd probably stick to the Very Very Pink in the early stages just to be on the safe side.

The leftmost barcode is still the same. See my post last night:

No reason to think the other two would have changed.

Morning paw sniffers,

My "healthier lifestyle challenge" continues. I did an hours swimming last night but have a stiff neck this morning as I don't like the water to go over my face:rotfl:
Homemade soup for lunch and salmon for tea provided by our lovely fishmonger who will be knocking on our door in 10 minutes. Visits fortnightly on a Thursday morning come hail or shine:)

No other spending for me today....I'm turning into streetlights:):cool:

Also worth checking the twin liquid soap sets I mentioned ? & ? (but the name of which currently escapes me

). My store didn't have any when I checked last night as they have cleared that stock, but larger stores have had all year round.

Remembered (or rather it was still open in MSM) Baylis & Harding

Nakd bars doing the rounds again.

Good morning every one

Good morning

I just had to come back and reply

I just want to say that I'm really touched by the number of people who wished me well. You peeps really are different from the people I interact with in RL because most of them don't like me

I think this is mostly because they misunderstand me. Often I come across to people as selfish and uncaring because they misundstand something I've said

I do hope you don't stay away as a result of our response to your idea yesterday, though expressed in different ways we were trying to keep you from making the wrong decision :A. What none of us said, unless I missed it, was if you needed to go off work sick as a result of how you feel then that may also be necessary and it would be worth talking to a Dr if that is the case. *snip*

It wasn't because of anything that was said. Although I did feel

because a lot of what was pointed out should have been blatantly obvious to me but in my state of distress it wasn't

I do need to go off sick, but the problem is that work almost always causes me to need to go off sick. I need a job I enjoy where there is no one who causes too many problems for me. Because of my ASD I cannot deal with being constantly interrupted and questioned in my work because this causes me to go into stress mode. At my previous job it wasn't such a problem because the level of social interaction was much lower and because it was part time I could come home and spend several hours alone in peace and quiet. Unfortunately now I hardly get to spend any alone time and my boss is much worse than anyone I had to deal with at my old job (apart from the new manager who was the final straw that drove me away). The alone time helps me to deal with my life and because I'm not getting enough of it now it's a big problem to which I cannot see a solution other than find another job

The company I work for is owned by a husband and wife team. Husband feels wife doesn't spend enough time at home which I think is the reason I was taken on to help her. However I don't think she wants this help. She still comes in early and stays late and not only does she do her own work, she does my work also which is not urgent. Therefore when I come in half the time there is nothing for me to do. If I look at my phone because there is nothing to do she doesn't like it and always finds me something stupid to do that doesn't actually need doing e.g. deleting emails. I can't help feeling that she's trying to make things so bad for me that I'll leave because she wants to do it all herself. If that's her plan it's working. My days are long and boring and I want to go. She also blames me for everything that goes wrong and wants everything done her way even after I show her a better way. She just will not accept that a lot of the problems are down to the shoddy setup of the PC network, which I've offered that OH can fix and her husband agreed to this but she doesn't want it.

So basically that's the short version of why I hate my job. There is much more in my diary about her which is pages and pages long

Impulse Models Own Very Very Pink Gift Set comes up on msm if you search Models Own and shows in the 3 for £10 but as unavailable with a red out of stock banner across it ,so does that mean its ok to use? i will try about 10 if no one has tried before then

I'm not sure about that, but I hazard a guess that it could work. When something goes OOS on A thats part of an offer it often becomes a trigger for a while until it comes back in stock.

glenburg1 wrote: »

but does anyone know if its normal to show as unavailable ? thats the bit thats throwing me . i dont think ive seen that before , only the little * next to out of stock items hmm maybe ive not been looking hard enough

It's still showing as available on the MSM app.

I thought Bolded "Unavailable in ASDA" on the MSM app is what you need to be a trigger.

One of the L 'Oreal Hair Expertise range is a trigger. Either the Moisturiser Shampoo or the Colour Care & Smoothing Shampoo.

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...!

I hadn't realised that the milk had gone down in price as it used to be £1. I still would have left it however as it's only taking 1p off the APG. The time and effort needed to pay for it separately is worth much more than that

If target shop is charging £1 and A5da is charging 89p then A5da want to give it to you for 90p to be 10% cheaper. That's the reason you only lose 1p. You are not (as many on here seem to think) losing 11p
