    Buy it now while it's in stock and keep your receipt. If it goes on sale they might sell out

    BY the way, did you hear we're getting a new Star Trek series?

    I did, in 2017 :D From what I read it won't be coming over here for a while though?

    I just burst into tears watching this Ikea Christmas ad, it is heart rending for anyone with kids :D

    Very good :)

    I have four children and every other week I take one child on there own and we have a mummy and daughter/son day, it doesn't have to be expensive ,they get to choose what they want to do, sometimes it's going for a hot choc and a play in the park. Whatever we do they love as do I as I get to see them as individuals and we have some amazing chats :)

    How do your posts not matter? They've been acknowledged, quoted, thanked, answered :huh:

    Do you mean because no-one answered your gmail question? You could have just bumped it. Plenty of questions go unanswered because people online at the time don't know the answer and then when other people who might know the answer catch up with the thread they simply assume it's been dealt with

    Not that I should have to justify it but I for one didn't answer because I:

    A didn't see it due to skim reading whilst at work
    B don't have a mac book
    C am not on gmail
    D don't have 6s
    E don't have aol email
    F don't have Talk Talk email
    G don't have the most recent ios

    ETA

    or maybe people didn't post an answer because they saw you had received a reply on the Techie Stuff board when you posted it there (you haven't thanked your responder by the way ;))

    My post was not about my gmail problem

    savvybuyer - this is one for your expertise!

    Just had an email price update from my supermarket saying boxes of 12 x 100g Felix cat food sachets are on offer in Morrisons 2 boxes for £4 - very good price

    Firstly I am worried that this might not be an instore price but it might be one of those prices you can only get by buying at Morrisons online.

    secondly I am worried that if it is an instore price the price wont be picked up by the APG gang until later in the week - Thursday sounds like a safe day

    thirdly I am worried about the varieties that might or might not match on a sada v morribobs shop

    I've made a list
    fish selection in jelly
    kitten mixed selection meat and fish
    senior chunks in jelly
    poultry selection in jelly

    the odd one is the meat selection in jelly which mys seems to think will be 2 for £5 - perhaps it has not updated yet or maybe it is a different price to the others.

    these and the Tetley green tea bags would easily make a good instore shop if and when they do match

    So do I - I always worry about shopping vs T on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. And Sunday lunch onwards when T updates its website prematurely to high prices in order to put them back again:mad::mad:. Try Thursday;). It's conveniently after my "Morrisons day" as well:cool::rotfl:.

    I think T is at £1.75:( on the Tetley at the moment, but they are at £1 in M for a while? (Sorry Northern Ireland once again - you have had a bad time there recently with virtually all the items on here being against M:(.)

    Night, night:A:wave:.

    Rose...I read back over last night and I'm sorry you feel the need to lurk rather than post...I didnt see what may have upset you but clearly something has.
    Its also your decision to leave,we cant make you stay but I will say that I think over the past year you have had some wonderful advice and support and praise for the posts you have made....even yesterday or over the weekend many posters gave you ideas or guidance on how to manage your situation you posted regarding your mums phone bill...
    I also remember very fondly,beautiful pictures of your daughters wedding and congratulations being posted at your impending grandparent status.

    There might be cliques within the elite...there might also be people who naturally share more in common with a few others than the en masse of the elite....but we are here when anyone wants to post.

    We cant mind read....so if something or someone has upset you then please say and the matter can be dealt with and move on...but posting cryptic messages or replies to other posters just saying...words along the lines of ...thats not what upset me might be seen as an attention seeking tactic which is better placed to the playground....I'm sorry I dont wish to cause offence but I'm saying it as I see it.

    Ultimately its your choice,we are adults and occaisionally something probably gets to all of us that sees us blend into the background for a while.....take some time out if you need and come back when you are ready x
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!

  • Still thinking about that Ikea advert. I'm so glad things like smartphones were not around in our day. We spent ages playing with the kids, right down on the floor with them or down the park, and they had our attention. We read a bedtime story every night and used to sit and snuggle and read, my grandson loves this today and always presents me with a book when he visits :D

    The other day I walked past a park, one of the kids was desperately trying to get his mum's attention, she kept shouting yes I'm watching and then going back to playing on her phone :( She is missing so much joy.

    When the grandchildren come round all phones/tablets/computers go away. There is nothing that can't wait till they go home, but their childhood does not last long, and that is the most valuable thing in the world.
