I wondered if any of you could help? We've been looking at places to go on holiday. Have any of you ever been to Bluestone in Pembrokeshire? It would be a bit of a trek for us and I'd never heard of it before but it looks like the sort of place that'd be great for the children. Any thoughts would be greatly received x

Hi,
I have been here two times and enjoyed both visits. Blue lagoon is free, or it was, for people staying on site. It's more of a scaled version of Centre parcs. Accommodation varies but all a good standard with everything you need.Lots of activities for children and I'm sure you will have a good time.

Morning all

(((X))) Nannylala
Good luck with the dress hunt queen of cheap. Poor MG

It was a DISASTER. Think I'm going the maid of honour version of bridezilla :eek::eek:



The dress I want is in debenhams. We find the section where it should be, and you just know it... Every dress from the website except the one I want :mad:

I asked an SA and she said that was all they had and directed me to the sale rail round the corner.

Yes I can order it online delivered to store but I'd have to pay for it and get a refund if it's not right, which I don't want to do. I just want to try it on. Surely it's not that difficult?! I'll ring them and see if they can help I think

You are probably quite right to get a larger size, others will be going for new born. Thinking about it now new born isn't much use if he is a large baby :eek: DS3 was 10lb 4oz :eek: :rotfl::rotfl:

good morning all...

I've been MIA for a while and lost the will to even function let alone glitch..so I have not a clue about what's been occuring here other than at least you are all in the same thread as when I left.

Not wishing to dwell on my absence too much but I have recently lost very suddenly someone very close to me and my world will now be a duller place now that this exceptional person is no longer part of it.

So sorry for your loss, LEJC x

No that's completely wrong price for M - it isn't £4:eek: and 2 for £4! I don't know what they are doing with these price collections or where they are getting that data from. It looks like they have now got individual price of £4 for M on the Extra Mature! And no mbuy in the system:( meaning the mix and match won't work.

[Strike]I think, basically, it is off vs M. Possible 2x Mature might work if it has that as £3 and 2 for £4. However, I wouldn't bother: I'd just try W.[/Strike] I've changed my mind: it appears that some versions still work vs M (see my posts below).

I think you posted the W comp. before but labelled it as being against M!

Not to worry, I'll cross off the cheeses against M again.

However, are you sure the above is the M comp now? Because, not only does that not look right, I also understood that the Mild version was not available in W and yet the comp. previously posted, if that was W and not M, had a price (successful comp.) showing for the Mild. Am I getting confused? Not surprisingly:rotfl:. Which comps are working and on what cheeses?

What date was your shop, with the M comp. above, on?

I'm crossing them off anyway as the suggestion is they are not working against M. Even though I'm (a) confusing myself as not looking into it closely; and (b) it's not being set out in a crystal clear way to me. Too vague. What comps., what dates, which precise cheeses?

Savvy...I've double checked and it is as I initially put..Here are the results again....dated 23/01/16 NE England
Based on comparable items... Tesco Sainsbury's Morrisons Waitrose
The cost of your shop at Asda was: £15.75 £15.55 £15.75 £15.55
The competitor cost would have been: £17.88 £16.14 £15.43 £15.69
To be 10% cheaper Asda needed to be: £16.09 £14.52 £13.88 £14.12
Compared to the 10% cheaper price £0.34 less £1.03 more
£1.87 more
£1.43 more
Asda was... 10% cheaper Not 10% cheaper
Not 10% cheaper

How was this worked out?
