    I'm going to do a fourth store (:rotfl::rotfl:) later tonight, as it's on the way back from the meal, so it's convenient to just pop in. Six items to check, as not been resolved from three(:eek:) stores:rotfl:. Also it's 'useful' anyway, as it's a completely different store to the ones I've been using more frequently, so always good to get some other perspective about what the prices may actually be(:rotfl:) - interesting... or not:rotfl::rotfl:!

    When I say "do", I mean "check", and not anything like a robbery or anything:eek:. I thought that was obvious, but, just to clarify, in case Mr Police Service is watching:rotfl:!

    The individual Mullers (in so far as they stock them) are 10 for £2 in M. Best non-glitched offer pricing I've seen! I've got no details of the range of stock however (and I'm not getting any) as they 'never' work on multiples of 10 on the APG. So, it's question of what you find compares on there - and I suspect it'll be to 68p straight price in M:(. In case it helps, there's one I can see in M that is marked as "New" - a Muller Rice Salted Caramel version so perhaps that acts as a trigger although it's probably been there for ages for all I know and therefore may already been on a.com. I don't know - it's for you to check!

    And, just before I really go, it'd got an 'interesting' offer label that appeared to have fallen off the product in my store:

    Lockerbie Mature Coloured Cheddar £6/kg. With crossed out £5.25:rotfl::rotfl:!

    Perhaps they thought better than to display that overtly. However, it does give the game away:D (to everyone else - game was already up for me as I already knew it was £5.25/kg from the last time I saw it:rotfl::rotfl::p:rotfl:).

    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.

    glad you are still fighting the good fight - you had us worried there for a minute, disappearing off like that - well you did say you wanted another ride in the ambulance :rotfl:
    We all did say they sent you home with indecent haste but no one listens to us, the Elite are like the Borg, one huge collective brain :D

    My gang have a very bad habit of getting up to stuff whilst we are away so I have a set email I send to all prior to us going away listing the "Do Not Do" while we are away - including not ending up in A & E, car mishaps, deployment/job applications, holiday bookings - they have 52 weeks of the year to do any and all of these things but instead they choose the 4 weeks we are out of the country to do life changing things :rotfl:

    I write similar instructions, but with a load more remincers about locking up etc. One time I got a text from DS1, "problem and your instructions don't cover it"..."there is a frog on the kitchen floor and it's alive. You didn't leave instructions for this"

    ....can I also confess to having the no device rule at the table during mealtimes?

    We do to.

    So glad Ladyshopper is feeling better.

    Congrats to cjj on the job front.

    This has certainly been worth waiting for..:D:D

    Fanta, Sprite, Dr Pepper all end up costing 5p per 2L bottle. Coke costs minus 2p per bottle. This is A v M from 3 hours ago. Avoid the diet coke.

    This should be good to go for the rest of the day. Enjoy!!

    Sorry, forgot to say that all the bottles are 2 for £2 in A

    Thanks SFSB, will be popping out shortly, so will grab some.

    My car is in the garage today, is making a funny noise when you switch it on, and the fan keeps running constantly.

    I dropped it off at 9am this morning, they said they needed it all day.

    The have just rang at 4.30pm, to ask if they can keep it until tomorrow, as they would like to look at it when it is COLD, er pardon, is not cold enough being there from 9am this morning, until now, she said they havent even looked at it yet.

    I need my car tomorrow, for work, and they need to rearrange a booking date, so annoyed, as we are driving to Wales friday and didnt want to risk it driving down country lanes if there is a problem with it.

    I asked if they have a courtesy car, and they said they dont have one for a couple of weeks, how ridiculous, is it. This is a Ford garage aswell.

    basically you cant go away and leave them in your house on their own at any age.
    you also cant go away and leave them alone in their own houses at any age :rotfl:

    our eldest sons left the living room front windows wide open over night after the bird incident - he is 26 and technically only lives here at weekends and leave days. At 16 he set fire to the oven after the steak incident so he has not improved much - you can see why my nerves are bad :rotfl:

    Afternoon all,

    I have a daughter just like this, scared to go away and leave her as she got older, 1 year we came back and she had pulled the knob of the tumble dryer, the next year she pulled the handle off the same dryer. We had to use pliers to turn the timer knob and open the catch on the door. She stayed at my moms while she went away and pulled the door off the washer!! Wanted to open it before it had finished, because it wouldn't open she yanked it off.
    She decided 1 year to have a BBQ while we were away and put one of the little throw away BBQ on the patio table, hence the glass exploded and in her disgust she was annoyed that the food landed on the floor.
    Another year we got home and she was out, no damage that we could see, and thought great!! Until she came walking up the field next to the house carrying a cat carrier, walks through the door, great big grin on her face saying " happy anniversary " I bent down to look in the carrier, and said to her, what am I gonna do with that? She bought me a duck!! A real live quacking duck.:rotfl:
  • Ladyshopper, sorry to hear you're in hospital. Enjoy the rest and make the most of no cooking, washing, bed changing and I hope you are soon on the mend again x
