    :)

    Nice day here :)


    The light in the shower room has gone 'ppzzzfff' & died :(

    Tried a new bulb but it's not working, so will have to get an electrician in :(

    1 have you got individual trips for your lights
    2 is there in in line fuse supplying electric to maybe the light and an extractor.

    I've just had a major melt down with BT and I'm spitting feathers !

    I transferred my broadband and phone to them at the end of last month as their fibre optic deal worked out not much dearer than my ropey old Talk Talk connection. It went live today and its all running as it should so far.

    The problem is that BT have allocated me a new number - even though they TWICE assured me that I would be able to keep my old number and that there woud be no problem whatsoever with this. Now they are telling me that I can't have my old number as Talk Talk haven't released it and they don't know when/if they will. Having spent a couple of hours chewing the ears off various people they have eventually said they will try to contact TT and ask them to release the number - but no guarantees. I've had the same number for 25 years at least and I am thouroughly wee wee'd off - over that period I have had a couple of previous service provider changes and I have alsways kept the same number.

    I wouldn't have changed over if they had been honest when I did the order but they lied. Not happy at all.

    The same is happening for me M2M. Up until today, it has always been £5
    All I can think is maybe that the meal deal is coming to an end.:(
    It must be still working today, because people have reported paying £5 instore.

    Thank you for posting, because it is all little bits of information like this, that helps to work out glitches.:)

    Hi all,

    Has shown £5.85 for me online for several days, since first looking, so didn't order.

    My shop just before lunchtime. Nice when I can get it to time in with actually needing some milk:T. Nearly thwarted on that though as - can you believe? - my superstore almost had no 6 pint milk left:(.

    It just would have messed completely with the bill amount I was aiming at and would have to have bought more, to make up the amount, if I could only find 4 pint. Then I noticed a single 6 pint milk - the only one they had left and took it!:T I certainly did this shop just at the right time - purely by chance as I usually go out later but someone wanted something early doors so I had to do things early.

    8 items on your receipt qualify for comparison Asda morrisons
    1x ASDA Grower's Selection British Broccoli (335G) £0.45 £0.38
    1x Persil Biological Washing Powder 45 Washes (3.2KG) £6.00 £5.00
    0.14x ASDA Grower's Selection Loose Banana (order by number of bananas or select kg) (PER KG) £0.10 £0.09
    1x Haribo Super Mix Bag (160G) £0.79 £0.50
    1x ASDA Smartprice Fish Fingers (250G) £0.60 £0.60
    1x ASDA Fresh Milk Semi Skimmed (6PT) £1.30 £1.30
    1x ASDA SmartPrice New Potatoes in Water (550G) £0.15 £0.15
    1x Starmix Bag (160G) £0.79 £0.50
    Comparison total (compared products only) £10.18 £8.52
    +£1.66 cheaper

    Another larger voucher spent. Starmix 160g and Super Mix 160g work - thank you OP - although they had already changed to show just the straight 79p on the SEL and therefore may be threatening to end in my store at any minute? They went through at 2 for £1, which, for normal shoppers, who just happen to be tempted enough to take two, at 79p!, would give an apparently random discount probably making them feel good that they had made an unexpected 'saving' but they would be unlikely to check their receipt so would not have actually done so!

    I need more different veg., and with the freezer being full, have had to go back to fresh. I needed some more washing powder too, to stock up enough and make me feel happier (just do not let there be a glitch now:rotfl:) - pretty expensive though:eek: - works out at bog-standard straight 10p per wash. They used to be 50 washes but now are 45, so not as good anymore, although I can't say that can I since they now say they are "with wash boosters", but did not before, so they are technically different products aren't they? At least they did not pick up Morries at £11 full price in error and wipe everything out:rotfl:.

    The comparison against Morrisons is now the safest of them all!:eek::rotfl: But, look - they say 3.2Kg on the comparison but the box itself from A is 3.185Kg:( and, in M, it is 3.185Kg.

    The comparison vs T:
    1x Persil Biological Washing Powder 45 Washes (3.2KG) £6.00 N/A

    Of course, T don't have this washing powder do they?
    http://www.tesco.com/groceries/product/details/?id=283000193:rotfl:

    (So, maybe one to remember, if A ever goes on very good price on the Persil themselves, which they won't!:p)

    A near-perfect shop of 8 items nearly matching my voucher spend. The only slight imperfection is that the Morries bill didn't end up ending with a 0:rotfl:.

    Now, just because the Persil works against M, I don't want everyone buying it against M as it still works out quite expensive alright?:D:rotfl:
