:hello:

Hope all are ok and hugs for those that need them.

Thank you for thinking of me, in alphabetical order, bubbs, hornetgirl, izzy, TM and TS. Thanks also dotty :A for your continued support.

I did mean to post before I went away but ended up finishing the fizz.

Quick precis:-

A few weeks before Christmas, my 4yo DGD got a very bad case of Slapped cheek syndrome. She then got the flu and had severe breathing problem and needed help to breathe. :mad: Luckily she recovered enough to go to Berlin with her family, the weekend before Christmas. Whilst they were there, my 2yo DGS got croup and had difficulty breathing. He got taken to hospital and stayed there until the day of their flight home. :mad: Won't bore you with the next couple of weeks, apart from missing DNR and EoLP's (I think it was rose who posted about these - please get it sorted, it will save much heartache:() and the second anniversary of my DB death, but it was worthy of an Eastenders script. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Then two weeks ago an :A decided that after that, I needed a break, hence being at the TL at Gatwick. Had a lovely week in the sun - 31c.

Enough about me, haven't caught up yet. Any glitches etc at the moment? TIA.

The search party was just about to go out looking for you:rotfl:
So sorry to hear about the little ones MKS....it can be so scarey when they are that ill. You feel so helpless and out of control:o

Well I hope the holiday was a pick up for you and it's lovely to have you back:T

I meant to say DM the only problem is if I have passengers that need to sit in the back that is where the space is a bit tight for comfort. :eek:

Actually surprisingly the model Corsa I have is not a huge difference in boot space compared to the old Focus. My boot is quite a bit bigger tha. n DD2's old model corsa.

And yes the hamper is still in there, hope the wine/prosecco is not spoiling.

I was thinking the other day if someone stole your car or sone of the othet elite they would get some very nice suprises . i can imagine yours like the can of snakes gag glitchy items flying every where :rotfl::rotfl:

One of the cars we had stolen had half an unwrapped mars bar wedged between the drivers seat and the side of the handbrake:o

That was my catch-up. Hello:) - and I'm sorry if I now appear to be glum - I am in fact my usual fairly happy self - as it's not that important but :(that's another glitch I've missed by a few minutes. It's now ended - at least in the store I used.

I was trying the Black Jacks and Shootz. Of course the SEL in the store I was in had the Shootz with no mbuy showing. So, before my shop, I went and tried the required combination to see if it was on mbuy - and, indeed, £1! I thought - great:D, this shop is going to work!

I went and got all the other items I needed - came back, scanned all my shopping (sweets in there randomly now) - only to find, at the end, they wanted nearly a pound more than I had planned to spend! So I had the whole lot cancelled off:(, whilst I then checked the sweets - and, now, they were 5 at £1.91:(. So, literally between my first check scan at the beginning and the time of my shop, the mbuy has ended in the store I was in. Same store as the one where the Finish changed in the ten minutes between two of my shops, although that one was around midnight - this one, earlier this evening.

So, I've got things we actually needed rather than things that glitch:rotfl:. The resultant APG will inevitably be lower than what it was going to be though.

Now M. The Jelly Babies carton has gone up to £2:(. At least I think so - I found one remaining carton in one store and thought I would have that at 50p as they will always need more jelly babies than I ever buy. At the SS, it scanned at £2. I say "I think so", because the carton I found is 460g (it's still in the store now btw;):cool:) and I always had it as 460g on my list. However, I noticed that I'd written what looks like 480g from that store that had the 50p SEL, but no stock, on Saturday. I was a bit puzzled when I saw that but thought I must have meant 460g. Either it is a slip of the pen - but I'm usually extremely accurate - or there are some other 480g versions around somewhere at 50p. I doubt it though - I reckon they will be £2 now.

The Love Hearts tubes, that were 50p on Saturday, as an RTC from Christmas have, it seems, now been reinvigorated and have doubled in price:(:eek:. There are now there in preparation for Valentine's Day and, it seems, provides the perfect opportunity for the price to go up:(. I did buy one (which was all I wanted) on Saturday, that I thought I might never see again:rotfl: - only to see it in the next store too - I thought about it though as we had some individual packs that were glitchy from A earlier and that the tubes might not work out as good. I took the BC today, when I saw the SELs at £1 and I have checked that at the till as well as I didn't believe what I saw - in case these are the Valentine's tube whilst the Christmas one is still 50p - but, unfortunately, the ending of the BC certainly matches the one I have so it does seem they are one and the same as the ones that were RTC 50p only on Saturday!

There's lots of other things to update - I can't mention much of it here except to say that the Pyrex Mixing Bowls, Pyrex Roaster and M Glass Pie Dish have ended on offer and, consequently, gone back up in price again - and that Sandwich Tin has now gone from £1 to £2.50:eek: - some of the M own brand non-offer stuff is still on though. I decided that, after I paid too much for some plates and bowl from A the other week, that we needed another cereal bowl anyway and I'd now get one of the Black Contrast ones (fortunately, colour is irrelevant to me:T:money:) from M at 50p. Well, the first M I was in - where they've sneaked them to a different part of the store than the main crockery - they had every one except the Bowl:mad:. Second store was found to have no stock:(. My third, and final for today, store though - the key was for it to be a store that hadn't even put the 75p offer on the SEL let alone the 50p one:rotfl::rotfl::j:D:T:T. So, nice £1 on the SEL making sure the Black crockery does not sell! I got my Bowl no problem at all. Of course it was 50p (I shall not be happy if they go to 25p RTC next week:rotfl:) and, whilst most people who just picked one up thinking it was £1 would have been nicely surprised to find it was 50p, there was no surprise at all for me - so I don't feel any better (or worse) about it - just went through at the 50p expected.

Enough of my shopping. I'll update what I believe has changed on the list over the course of the next day.:)

My APG will be lower, however I've managed to find a store that had a load of receipts around, so I expect that they will more than make up for that!
