    Sorry no, it wasn't in my price collection:(:o. My answer was in my post that you quoted, I haven't been on this thread until just then.
    I've had a look on msm and I think 2 for £4 would be on 700ml individual bottles, or maybe 2 for £5. I didn't notice any mbuy price on any Wkd that was cheaper than the individual price on Wednesday, but that doesn't mean it wasn't there. I was going to say "just go for it", as it looked like it was 2 for £3.50 and would then have been £2.50 even if straight £5 for M was picked up. However, I don't know why it suggests 2 for £3.50 in the URL, as they look like 2 for £8:(.

    I think you are being too tight
    like I am. If you are paying with APGs - or wombles - anyway then why not just for go for it You've had over £20 on a recent womble from them anyway, so if you lose a bit (compared to paying 2 for £4) in M, then who cares? If you need/want it, maybe just go for it anyway and forget whether it picks up M's supposed 2 for £4 or not - of course do buy enough items and check the receipt and if it works then it's a bonus!

    I need to spend a bit more in A with my successful receipts. I think if I see the Air Wick Double Fresh Unit still at £1 midweek this week, I am going to try that to see if it works. It's wombles anyway, that have given a few pounds, so if it ends up not giving an APG then so what? I'll find more wombles that are of greater value than the failed APG I'd have got back! And I've had failed shops of my own in the past, where I've not bought enough items:o so lost more in the past. Should hopefully be £4 vs £1 - would be great if that worked. Maybe people ought to be getting that as an alternative to the own brand version that has worked vs T:think:?

    :rotfl:not on this occasion, my store is sold out.

    Morning all

    It's like a mass migration this weekend which started on the 1st - everyone travelling up and down the country getting back home for the re start of work and college and uni and training courses etc - you can see the helicopters flying overhead taking shots for a future David Attinborough series :) LOL

    RL is taking over for me this week, just a final catch up and then my light is going red until I am out if the other side again ...

    Morning All!,

    Last day of the holidays:(

    Not the best start to the New Year...... DH spent New Years Day in A&E, as he thought he had had a heart attack in the night :eek:
    Got the all clear about 4pm. Probably indigestion but will need to go for health check at GP!

    Yesterday we had to take Rosie the doggie to the vets. She is prone to hot spots and needed antibiotics to clear a bad outbreak.

    I hope it's not my turn today!

    Very drawn to joining the decluttering thread, but as I have not got time to keep up with the Elite, I may be setting myself up to fail. :(

    Putting the kettle on, then reading back. Have a great day! HE x

    That is what i thought when i was ill, but still not at the bottom og what it actually is apart from gastric def not my heart and this started about 4 th November, can he eat ok?

    It appears fairly regularly next door since they had an apple tree cut down and spends ages grubbing around where the remains of the stump are, but this is the first time it's come so close to our house.
    I'm impressed!! Are you down south I don't think we get them up here. Another bird I would be ecstatic about seeing in my garden is a nuthatch. My Auntie has them in her garden and we called to see them the other day and she said my uncle had said I'd better feed the birds if Di is coming haha !

    Just watched Sherlock on BBC. Had read reports slating it but I thoroughly enjoyed it. 8 days since I found something to watch on telly.
    Trying to get into 'then there were three', and might tackle Dickension but not sure.

    V x

    I though Dickension was good and wTched the first few but the series is so long I don't know how they can keep it going

    Also a new series of The Young Montalbana started last night - it's a detective series set in Sicily which we have been obsessed with for a long time, Italian with subtitles - very good charecters and a nice contrast to the dark and dire Nordic crime things we usually watch :)

    Sorry just catching up , I think the easier thing you can do is put up some security lighting around your property, especially in the dark corners, then have a good alarm fitted, one that can be set at different zones, when my oh was working nights he had a panic button put in our bedroom, its in easy reach and can be pressed either by hand or if you are standing up you can kick it, it is very discreet, I have set it off a few times by accident and believe me, all hell was let loose, every alarm we have went off, we have quite a few in our house, our neighbours were not impressed, we also have reinforced doors and windows, which makes it a lot harder for someone to break in.
    Knowing some basic self defence and your escape routes out of the house also helps

    Thanks VC....and others who have replied. We are very security conscious to be honest with outside lights and an alarm.....plus steel doors:eek: I think it just unnerves you a little when you think you live in a safe neighbourhood to find its anything but:o

    Anyway, in other news....I'm enjoying the last lie in of the holidays:)
