I fill the pan with water, add a handful of Daz and bring it to the boil. Never failed me yet.

Never heard of doing that before. :cool:

My dgs has just had his 11th birthday treat with a few friends at Just Jump which is probably similar. His friend chipped his 2 front (second) teeth there by jumping up trying to reach up a wall we think although can't be sure. The boys loved it but a bit worrying safety wise.

DS2 has just tried to walk down the stairs, he looks like an old man :rotfl::rotfl: he said he cant walk as his legs ache.

Good price for maple syrup in Sainsbobs but bet this will be one to watch with a "SALE" SEL as it may eventually go to 20p.

Evening All.

This has just happened to me with a £9.20 apg. Tried an alternative account, but tells me I have already claimed on a different account
Will try on Tuesday with the original account I used, but looks like the system has changed yet again and I have probably lost the APG.

£1.25!:eek::eek::shocked:_pale_:rotfl::rotfl:. I notice it says "Sale" - which is, of course, their own description, so, like any "sale" or "event" that they want us to buy the item, I think best to avoid it - as you suggest, it will probably be 20p later on:rotfl:. (And, if not, then we've saved £1.25 by not buying it at all:money:. Savvy institute of non-buying back again:D!)

I notice these in A:

Beechams Cold & Flu Capsules (16)

For the first time, as far as I am aware - msm says 83% below average:rotfl: - actually at the price they are worth IMO - or if not a little bit expensive at 50p:rotfl::rotfl:. Sadly doesn't seem available for comparison from elsewhere and I just don't see any need for branded cold/flu products ever. However:

Benadryl One a Day Allergy Relief Tablets (7)

May be good for Sains BM, with cond. spend (trick is to have only branded items, all of them to be cheaper at A and get your total A bill lower than the cond. spend amount:D:rotfl: - or else own label whoopsies to make up and make sure the total amount you pay less the cond spend is less than the BM amount you get back). Not that I would ever buy tablets for 50p that say to be used once a day and, at that rate, only last a week:(:(. Presumably the idea (cynic me) is to get you buying them again and again, week after week, and probably paying normal expensive prices of £3+ for them! Even at 50p, I wouldn't buy more than one pack!

T's price seems just "a little steep" on these:(:

The maple syrup is the huge 500ml one Savvy it's usually around the £5 mark so it is a good price. 180ml is £1.98 in Ts at the moment. Maple syrup is expensive.

DH burnt a wheat bag too a few weeks ago. It was just starting to smoke when he took it out of the microwave :eek: so he chucked it out of the back door. Next morning it was half way down the garden, taken there we're guessing by a fox.
Seriously though, it was quite scary as we'd used it many times before and he didn't "cook" it for any longer this time.

I just assumed mum had put it in for too long as she had started to struggle with the operation of the microwave and overdone her porridge a few times. But maybe it was just because it had been used over and over again, several times a day for her back pain.

Luckily at the time I had a new BS cranberry one I could replace it with and in fact I still have it I washed the cover and use it myself to help my hands.

Once you go over 10 claims, I believe that that APG is lost. You can try to claim it again next month - they used to be possible but I believe it now no longer works:(. You need to keep a record of how many claims per month you have made!

I was going to wait until tomorrow before I claimed some vouchers I wanted to claim in "February", in order to get extended expiry date as much as possible - however given that I can't trust the system over the 3 hour limit that is actually two hours, I can't rule out a 'leap year bug' possibility - whereby, tomorrow, it might think it's on March. And, therefore, should I want to claim another 10 vouchers in March, I might come up against the "already made 10 claims" message later on, even though March will then be a new month. I suspect that, over any leap year bug possibility, I am simply creating this issue for myself rather than it actually existing - is the expiry date for vouchers claimed today correctly 28 days in the future? I don't know if this is the first time that the system has had a 29th of February - has APG been running for more than four years?:think: - however I would not know whether tomorrow's claims would be in February (as they should be) or would be in March, so, for the sake of a day, I have claimed them today. I believe March begins sometime later than midnight - probably 4am or 6am on 1st March - sometimes the system doesn't click over until properly into the day (6am) - I have this issue with Nectar search not counting any searches made in the early hours of the first of a month if I have already made the maximum searches by what should be the last day of the previous month - it seems still to be in that month and doesn't move over immediately it is the new month. So, if you want March, I've no idea what month the APG tomorrow will think it is and would wait until after 6am on 1st March before classing anything as being March, to ensure the system is indeed on March.
