    Him and I had a conversation about this recently as its one of the very rare things I've seen lately where pack size has increased!

    Talking of.....cadburys caramel have shrunk :eek: he's been measuring a new one against an old one only the other day. Not only is he disgusted at the shrinkage, he's outraged that they've moved the 'extra' chocolate around the outside of each segment. Oh yes......we have thrilling conversations in here you know :rotfl:

    But at least the new segments can actually be broken apart like this without crumbling to bits

    I "wasted" so many segments as a youngster trying to get it to break apart the same way as in the advert :rotfl:

    Also did a couple of instore Tuna and rice shops. However one compared to S and one to M. Not sure why

    They could re-instate the cap. I wonder if anyone else can comment on this (posted just before you)
    I have just done my APG which was over £50 big miscalculation but I am sure when it flicked it said £20 would be sent to my account - maybe they are capping them - anyone else had this ??

    I can't go back and see it now

    Can anyone help with my plumbing? :o

    :D One of my showers has suddenly had a big drop in pressure overnight. Worked fine yesterday but only getting hot today on full blast and has very little pressure. It's an electric over bath shower. I've had the panel off the bath and there's no leaks from the pipes.

    I have 2 other showers and they're fine so it's not an overall drop in water pressure. I'd rather not call someone out that I have to pay only for them to tell me it's broke and then have to spend even more money on a new one. It's only just out of its guarantee and it wasn't that cheap either :eek:

    I have looked online but that's just made me more confused :o :rotfl:
    Who knew there were so many different sorts of water delivery and shower types :eek:

    I've looked and reckon if I need a new shower unit I could fit it myself but obviously don't want to splash out of it might be something totally different.

    TIA :)

    About the M list.

    I nearly didn't go at all today - been getting later on (blame British Summer Time perhaps) and, as may have been clear from some of my posts, I've been finding slowly more heavy-going to be honest. I started off asking, months ago, how long I could keep it up (two collections a week) and if anyone put April 2015 then you were probably right.

    It's like everything ever in my life I think - I continue it for a few years or months and then move onto something else. It's just been feeling a bit too much, although when I've actually got to M I've been fine. So, I suppose it gets me out and gets me my walks around the supermarkets(:rotfl:) and perhaps the bugbear has been it coinciding with two nice days of weather this week. So I might do something else and get out for a few summer days, which would be a good thing. To cap it all, despite all the items on my list, last time I did a glitch shop vs M I ended up getting just the glitch item (dishwasher tablets:D) and 10p sweets. What a waste with all that there and bought nothing on there as we've already got the items/don't need the items or would would be spending too much:rotfl:.

    I might not bother with Monday but might just go on Wednesday (but then I'd be a bigger catch-up then - today in the main store was relatively quick - but then how much could change in one day? - fortunately as I was already running late). Or I might go as and when I feel like, rather than being tied down by it on unmoveable days each week. I have no obligation at all to do the list anyway. I'll probably end up going on Monday again anyway:rotfl:. I won't give up the Elite shopping as such as could never go back to shopping as normally. But, just so's you know, not to expect the M list to be guaranteed!:rotfl:

    I'm leaving off updating for a little while yet tonight, as just resting so I'll get to it again once I get motivated again. As for the 'changes', I may post later and go through the updating - there are some - I can't find any 50p Kipling cakes today so might have worked on the APG today but might not next time. And I can see what's happened with the biscuits (including the price increase on the Fruit Shortcake, whose "everyday low price" was 34p and which is now on "everyday low price" 40p:wall:), now that my store has sorted them out - but of a disruption that caused yesterday having to catch up with some from another store - but some of the others, a lot higher individual price previously, may now play in our favour (on wombles, I wouldn't suggest worth buying them:rotfl:) if they buy - they nearly always buy A's 3 for £1:( - two that pick up mix and match mbuy for M and one that doesn't compare. 33p/34p each vs 35p (any 2 for 70p) for two might not be bad.
