    Sneaking on whilst having a period of feeling relatively well to say hi.

    The lovely bubbs says she has updated you all that things haven't been so great for me. This is the first time since Monday I've actually felt well enough to get my iPad out.

    I think I'm going to be in hospital at least another couple of days whilst the infection clears, potentially longer. :(

    Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that passed on their best wishes. Bubbs said people were thinking of me and it's very kind of you all.

    Got a bit of energy left so going to have a read back.

    Im pleased you are feeling a little brighter now and are hopefully on the road to recovery. Take care xx

    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    Hello! Not that it's any importance with all the glitching around, there have been some further changes in M today (more than I thought that there was going to be). I'm not updating the M list straight away, instead that will be later tonight (probably) due to meals out yet again:((:rotfl:). It's mainly additional items rather than expiring offers. However, in the interim whilst the list isn't updated, I would not go for the Betty Crocker item that is on there at the moment as it turns out it may be a store-specific oddity from Monday. Or else it's gone up from 93p (if my memory is correct) to £2.43!

    It looks like the Kipling Mince Pies have gone from 2 for 80p (and 85p each:D) to... wait for it... £1.74:eek: now (and no mbuy)! I seem to recall that there was an offer expiry date of early December on the offer label I saw for it in one of the stores on Monday. So, thanks M for giving the false assurance (if indeed it is false) that the 2 for 80p offer pricing would be on for much longer than it now appears to have been. However, they'll probably scan at something other than the £1.74 price:rotfl:. I can only go by what the SELs now say and cannot probe behind them.

    I'm having trouble with the price of the ("fresh") Savers Cottage Pie/Spaghetti Bolognese/Mac. Cheese etc. range. One of my stores has 75p on some, but not all, of them. First store today, as per Monday, had 69p and had not changed the price. A further store - third store - today proved to be of no help:(:rotfl:. 69p on the whole range:rotfl::rotfl:. So, no idea what, if anything, is 75p and whether any are 69p or 75p at all. And neither can I go by online m.com as I can't trust whether that has been updated or not:rotfl: (occasional prices on there are out of date and, for a day or so, do not reflect what are in stores). In short, I don't trust anyone, about anything, ever (:eek::rotfl:). Anyway, I don't know why we're (or rather I am:D) bothering with 300g Cottage Pies as Cottage Pie Meal for One 500g in Iceland at £1 works out cheaper - and it does provide two perfect meals per pack despite being labelled "Meal for One". It's adequate enough for me anyway - whilst I don't think you could get two decent meals out of a 300g pack unless you literally lived off so little.

    Also SP Chicken Roll equivalent may have gone up from 97p to £1 (although again that's in the store that thinks the Cottage Pies have gone back up so might just reflect the 'eday price' label haven't been taken off - and it's the same store that has a seemingly incorrect price for the Mixed Weight Free Range Eggs - £1 in there but 79p 'eday price' everywhere else I've seen). And while I have £1 on the Savers Chicken Roll, I still have 97p in the two other stores - although the product seems to be out of stock everywhere now?

    I think this is the point at which the Dr Oetker cake products at 33p (and 53p) become riskier now, even assuming they had ever worked in the first place (of which I am not aware of them doing). The 33p Chocolate Triangles have disappeared completely from all the stores I've checked and I have only the 53p Neon Sugar in just one store (gone from everywhere else) so, I think this is the point at which it would have stopped (if it had ever started).

    The Savers 4 pack Lager and 4 pack Bitter have gone up - from 89p to £1.

    There will be some updating to the actual list later (and that will probably get done without further announcement and 'behind the scenes') but, for now, there are some of the few possible changes upwards.

    Goodbye for now:wave:.

    Somehow or other I missed your post honey. Glad you are feeling a little better. At least whilst you are in hospital you are getting the best possible care. I hope the infection clears quickly and sending you much love and hugs x
