    They're all on there (insofar as I have got to them yet) on the Snacks & Sweets section of the "buy in M" part of the list (post 5). They're in order of what I consider to be best value. So that the ones that appear at the start of the list under Snacks & Sweets are the ones that, for the amount you get, I consider to be better prices. So, it's the ones near the top - starting with the Bassett's Jelly Babies carton - you need to go for more (IMO).

    Also mention this, even though it is already on the list:
    Berggold Fruit Jellies (200g) M 50p - may be quite rare in M as I only found in one store out of 42 (although there were several packs in there - somewhere in Cheshire I think: I know that's very helpful:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:) - may be available in Iceland for the same price. It may well be available in your M for all I know (your M may be the one I was in or may be another). I found them on the Christmas aisle, they may be there or elsewhere in other Ms (or, perhaps, more likely, all sold out - to muggles before Christmas at maybe six times the price:eek::rotfl:). There are wayyyy too many snacks and sweets on the M list:(:naughty::rotfl:. So, watch your pocket on them - even though you may be getting them at (what appear to be) bargain prices!

    I have a little guessing game for you!!:D

    Tomorrow, I have the builders coming in to renovate one of the bedrooms.
    In the bedroom there used to be a fireplace, which at some stage has been boxed in.
    So, when the builders remove the boxing, what will be behind it?

    1) A hole where the fireplace used to be?
    2) A huge pile of soot and muck and half the chimney stack?:eek::eek:
    3) An original cast iron fireplace, from when the house was built in 1904?:j:j

    I am so hoping it is number 3, as they are worth quite alot of money and also two more bedrooms have similar boxed in fireplaces, only somewhat larger.:):)

    As soon as the builders remove the boxing tomorrow, I will post a photo of what is there!

    Before removal.

    As it protrudes into the room... I think it is 3!

    And if it was TS's bedroom, I would expect that she had stored/hid several gift sets and hampers in there!!
