    Hi Savvy
    just having a skim through before I went to bed this is indeed the product I bought, [1] You are TOOOOOOO dedicated to the cause :D, this was last Wednesday. I decided not to bother chasing up the fact the mis-price was not in my favor, [2] we are keen enough to take advantage when it glitches are our way so I just accepted the APG price

    [1] I know, and maybe that is a cause of :o for me. As I see it though, I'm doing a complete and thorough job. Even if it'll never be complete:rotfl:. If anyone sees a strange man in M laughing when they are looking at a certain product, that'll be me, finding an item that I haven't got from any other Ms:rotfl:. I am finding it occasionally amusing. It's obviously totally not money-saving to travel out to various Ms, in a way, though I am enjoying my travels and getting out too - what's saved in one place (my cheap/occasionally better than free shopping) can then be used for another thing (travel costs) - and petrol is fairly 'cheap' at the moment so, from that POV, now is a better money-saving time to do it. It's like the trainspotter that travels to various locations, and a bit of an obsession like that - perfectly harmless fun:D. [I only mention the subject of trainspotting because someone mentioned this, about things being harmless like that, in relation to my collection ages ago.] It's the journey too and sights on the way, so it is not entirely wasted. Pack my flask and parka jacket next time:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. I know I take things to extremes, but it is funny! Though I'm not having "fun" in train times at the moment:rotfl::rotfl: (that was years ago!:o:laugh:).

    [2] I did the same the other week when :o:oI lost several quid on testing something that failed - but at least I now know it didn't work:o:rotfl:.:(:rotfl: Like that, I just put it down to some you win and some you don't and just accepted the APG:).

    Actually, as regards my being "too dedicated", from my POV, I simply had this matter outstanding and have now got round, finally, to dealing with it. I reckon, if this were most people, it would never be done at all. But, as usual, I complete a job. I went for a job interview once - afterwards, they said "we'll inform you by next Wednesday" - well, Wednesday came and went and I knew I hadn't got the job (it wasn't necessary anyway - it was just a bit of experience). I gave them some time though, and then contacted them to ask if I'd got the job. Obviously they came back and said I hadn't and said "sorry we omitted to tell you!":eek:

    Again - I feel - it's the 'normal' person's way of dealing with this - they forget:( and fail to complete the full task - never get round to contacting the unsuccessful candidates actually to inform them they didn't get the job. Especially when they'd said they would do so at the end of the interview! Had this been me, as the interviewer, of course I would have got round to informing everybody and doing a full job!

    It's irrelevant, as they have the job and I don't, but I just see it this way from my POV. Yet again, if you want a job doing, you need someone on the spectrum. Nonetheless - I've criticised the APG collectors before, which I assume to be neuro-typicals and indeed it's most likely that they are (simply because only about 1 in 88 people aren't) - however, maybe my "criticism" was wrong: with my discoveries from M, maybe sometimes it isn't that they're not doing a job completely, instead it may well be that some items simply aren't at all in the stores they check. But, they've picked up things that I thought they might not! Glad to see that both me and the APG have come back with pricing on the SP Apple Pies at the same time:rotfl:. May well be that they are coming back into M, after stocking only Lyons for some time (or maybe the Savers were always stocked somewhere) but obviously they had the Savers in one of their check stores (it seems to me - otherwise how could they get items that aren't in any of the collection stores?!?:huh:).

    They've clearly missed the Mixed Meaty Loaf though:rotfl:.

    Though, sometimes, there can be technical issues such as different wording and some reason why they've not linked the products together rather than them not necessarily collecting the price for an item in M (that they then, on the system, it just doesn't link it up for them). Perhaps that's so - but I've no idea how they do the collection.

    i don't want everything on my wish list either but would be good if
    some of them come back in stock :o especially the mens boxers sets & laura ashley kitchen bits ;)

    I would really like the little joules tins, don't think I even saw them before the sales started but I wasn't really paying attention to anything before the 70% started. :rotfl:

    I'm off to bed now. Have to carry on looking for cookers tomorrow to make sure we can get exactly what we want in the space we have said on our kitchen plan before we go ahead and order units. Exciting times. :D

    Goodnight cheery and savvy and DM if you are still up. :)

    Goodnight:wave:.

    Alright folks, I've done far too much dedication tonight (or just me doing the final little thing to complete something thoroughly), done more than enough though, so I am seeing you for the night! I'm having another day off tomorrow, or rather today, so shan't be doing another Morries run. I'm not organised enough to plan another route right now:rotfl::cool:! No, I will at some point (whether or not I should:rotfl::o:rotfl::rotfl:) but I have other things to sort and they'll get done:cool::).

    I'll be popping back in - and back again with something else probably nearer the end of the week:cool:.

    :wave::wave:

    See, I told you the information was "entertaining" and "lovely":rotfl::rotfl:.

    As well as all the chat too - that was also what I was thinking about (when whatever the first thing that popped into my head became this "rubbish" title:rotfl:).

    Goodnight:wave:.
