My dad's solution use to be to sit in the corner on a comfy chair and ignore said child. Dd does sometimes lay down with dgd just to keep the peace.
Has she been sleeping in your bed for a bit?
Dad use to say kids didn't like the separation at bedtime so he stayed in the room.

I keep telling dd that kids have phases. They do talk about more things when laying down together. Nerfy always found staying in the room worked for him in the old megaphone days.

There are no right or wrong ways just find a way that dd is happy with. Maybe in the mornings ask her why she screams at bedtime. If she knows she might tell you.

She's had the odd night in my bed, it's usually if she gets up for the loo in the night and she'll come in asking for a cuddle and we both fall back asleep!
I've talked to her about it before, but she never seems to have a real reason. I will try again in the morning though.

Time for me to hit the hay, thanks again for all the replies :A

I've just crossed out one of the razors, that was Avs M, but A have now lowered their price and are more than 10% cheaper:(. (I was hoping for lower price instore and then higher price on a.com in any event to compare against M for CC/HD for those on the old system, I suspect a much diminished group now.) So, instead of shopping Avs M, or even buying in A on a separate shop, I am now moving to Sains.:rotfl: as they are now a more expensive store - need to check whether these sorts of items are included in BM first - hopefully with a cond.spend and BM back.:rotfl::rotfl:

1000 items?:think:

I probably check a greater number of items that they do:rotfl:. Although, obviously, in fewer stores than they check, on each price check day.

Alright, off again today to check again!!:rotfl::rotfl::(:question::rotfl::)

Just in case something comes up whilst I am there, I did see one of the Nestle Munch Bunch Huge Tubes (£2 in A) at £1 in M last week - but wasn't totally sure which one it was - I didn't know there was one than one flavour until I got back and saw msm - I thought it was the Strawberry, and it probably is, but, as I say, I can't fully remember - hazy memory but, as usual, even the haziness is probably dead-on right - it didn't cross my mind on Monday to look for it again as I didn't have it written down on my list - I'll try to find it later today but I don't know though as I may be in different stores that may not have it - I thought it was on introductory price so maybe not likely to have increased this week - although, maybe, if it is so new, it may not be in the system for M at all to compare to. But, just it case it comes up or gets involved in some hidden mbuy (whilst I'm at M itself today and can't get quickly back), as you never know...

Alright. I've transferred some of the few items that have queries from Monday onto my checks for later (yes, there are a handful of those - literally a handful with me though - not like 1000 fuchsias is allegedly a "handful":eek: - how can you carry them in one hand?!?:huh: - as just making sure the info. I have is correct before I put them onto the list if they ever are going to get to there). I don't think they're spectacularly good - if they were, I would, as always, mention them specifically and also make clear about my doubt about whether I have it completely correct.

Rustler's Quarter Pounder 190g - there I go again!:rotfl: - couldn't resist - is somewhat dubiously £1 SEL from M on Monday for me - however I see msm says £2. They may be £2 but have some £1 stock still about, price-marked, and have unchanged SELs to reflect that. T £2.20:eek:. They might compare to £1 if they find the £1 products in their Ms. As I keep saying - to the point of boredom no doubt! - it just depends which M stores they check. I have already been finding, for at least eight months, possibly longer, that the stock of these sorts of items - Taste Incs. and now the Rustlers - can vary quite a lot between stores. Tbh, I have had thought before - months ago and it's been from time to time - about what the actual prices have been as I find different prices in different stores. I wouldn't call it "struggling" as I have always dealt with different prices (in different stores situation) ever since I've been doing the M list and in the background to the list, and what's been getting onto it regarding the Taste Inc. products, has been my own conclusion as to what the prices have actually been. They come on, they go off depending on what view I've reached about their price. I now understand that older stock may be available in some stores that explains some of the differences I was (and still am occasionally) seeing.

Only recently have I found that some items move into the process of changing price over a number of days - and sometimes over a week - sometimes moving onto different BC stock and then back again when the price goes back. The lower price (or higher price) stock will become unavailable (at different points in different Ms, although roughly around the same time given a few days) and then the product will have, effectively, moved onto the new price (given that the old stock - or old BC-stock - is no longer available). Then, when it moves back, the old BC will go onto the next stock, and again there will be a gradual shift back to another price depending on the stock. Obviously this means, if you are in M, you buy older stock if the price is going up and newer stock if the price is coming down. Obvious!:D Stock with different prices may exist for a period therefore and the products, more correctly, be described as "in the process of moving towards a new price". I am reflecting this sort of thing in my posts and on my list. It's more easy now that I understand how this works - and am no longer taking them as being the conflicts that I saw them as being before. I do not know if the fresh M Kippers are still 93p or have gone to £1.30 now or not. Although all M stores say £1.30 on the SEL for me now, the products are on the same BC as they were on when they were 93p. The 93p stock scanned at 93p, but the no-price on the stock just a yellow empty circle would, at that time, last week, have also scanned at 93p (as it is same BC) even though the SELs had already been changed to £1.30. Whether they have now gone to £1.30 - or are still, just about, scanning at 93p I do not know - the BC is the same - I do not know when the price change would be put into the system - presumably the moment that M think they have gone OOS of all the old 93p-marked stock? Which, sadly, would be about two days ago now, as that was the longest use-by I saw on the 93p-price marked stock. Maybe they move once the use-by would have gone.

The Plaice Fillets a few weeks back, even the old £2 price marked stock, were scanning at new price of £2.62 - so, sometimes, it may happen prematurely - obviously you could have a point of going to CS and asking for the £2 price if the pack you got was marked with it (although the £2 packs were by then shorter-dated than the others as they were older stock, marked with the old price) - there were other packs that did not have price marked on them that would also have been £2.62 (as same BC) - price on shelving either said, depending on store, £2.62 or "Priced" - they scanned at £2.62 - I assume - I think it was £2.62, if not it was whatever price higher than £2 it was - but doesn't affect my point - some stores, of course, had sold out of the £2 price marked products (that were now scanning at higher price than marked in a store that still had some left) and would of course be £2.62 SEL and £2.62 scan for the product there, in those stores, at that time. (I suspect, even if the shelf said "Priced", if you picked up a £2 price-marked one and scanned it, it would have scanned at £2.62 not £2 at that point. They were on same BC as the new stock that did not have a price marked on it. Obviously, in a store with "Priced", rather than "£2.62" on the shelf, you would then have "Priced" on the shelf and no price marked on any of the stock after the £2 price-marked stock had gone - hence no clue about the price! - however even the £2 stock would not, I suspect, be as "Priced" since it was scanning at £2.62 - although this was in a store which said "£2.62" on the shelf and not "Priced" - I picked up a "£2"-marked item of stock, however, to see if it scanned at £2.62 or at £2 - which, in my view, the lowest price you see should be charged. All stock, by then, however - as it was all same BC regardless of whether marked on the packaging with a £2 sticker or not - was £2.62.)

I do not know if the Kippers without a price on the pack (new stock) would have been 93p for a brief while, even though the SEL said £1.30. I suspect, a few days later, they are now all £1.30 and the price on the system I suspect will have been changed (the SELs were changed several days before - which incidentally does not help for APG had these even compared to M on there) to the new £1.30 price:(. 93p price marked stock was definitely scanning at 93p a week ago, when the SELs had already been changed to £1.30 and the other stock would have been 93p then, even though the SELs now said £1.30, as they are on the same BC. I may have repeated myself:rotfl: - there's something about this way my brain works! - but not to worry and it's late in the night anyway:rotfl:.

I suppose the use of all this is just if you want some kippers now, and want to see on the offchance whether the kippers, although they have a £1.30 SEL, scan at 93p and if they do buy them at that price otherwise put them back at that point and don't buy them at all. (I suspect by now they will be £1.30 though - and that's what I am now treating them at for list purposes. Who knows - they may go down today:rotfl: - maybe I'll get there and see "[Strike]£1.30[/Strike] 93p":wall::rotfl:. I probably won't though:( - they will probably stay at £1.30 for a short while. And 93p?:eek: A's version (that didn't compare to M for me on the APG) once went down to 85p - and I bet you could get kippers somewhat cheaper still on the evening of their use by date on whoopsies.)

As regards TBG, moving back to the Rustler's Quarter Pounder, if they find a £1 M and a £2 M and the other M they check doesn't have the product, they are more likely to go N/A with different prices than to pick the £1 price. There's a possibly T could pricematch £1 on the Quarter Pounder, even though msm says £2, if all of T price checkers' Ms had £1 SELs - however it could have £2 or N/A (or, unlikely, something else).

See you later - bye for now!:D:wave:
