    This was wood from OH's land in Poland...sorry I have no idea whether it would be cost effective in the UK
    The forestry commission used to sell 'scavenging' licences on their land for where they felled trees, and you could get the 'left overs'. Was dirt cheap, talking £'s per acre of land, but as per norm, was stopped due to health and safety

    Right, one best try to get some sleep. What started out as a 'stormy' night, has changed into a nice conversation. Hope you all sleep well, and perhaps the little changes that have been made tonight could grow, as I think it would be good for all of us. Life is too short! Night all.

    And my last queen song, for the night, promise. Quite apt.

    Cant remember the size, but it was cheap for what it was. About 15 years ago. Is it not MORE THAN 28 days IN A ROW? just to stop people living on it?? I now want to buy an appartment in Belgium, as I probably spend more of my time off work there than I do in the UK, but cant afford it really, and who knows what would happen if we exit the Eu (not that that is a conversation for here :eek: )

    28 days over the year ( like i said, no one will be counting)

    Allowed 5 cubic meter per quarter of felled wood, need a felling licence and probably a woodland management plan in place to obtain. Fallen wood doesn't count in that quota.
    Need to replace felled wood with saplings, well yeah that is the idea.

    No doubt someone already has.

    For the greater good i'm sure.

    Have had a look at chainsaw lessons.

    Need to be careful with them ;). I am superstitious (probably overly) with them. If I run out of petrol half saw, I stop for the day.

    5 cubic metre is a lot, about £600 of wood.

    Don't worry about my list being in bits, if it still is, as I can move it, now it's already on this thread, at some later point and put it all together (maybe when we reach a round-100 number?) when I get to updating the list later on.

    It'll be ages before I get there! (It's taken me long enough before I got back and then found, typically, it had been a big glitch day! They really need to stop having glitch Wednesdays as they are price check days:rotfl:.) However, you have an idea of what's changed, such as it has, in M from my last long post. Toffee Crisp 6 for 4 (x38g)£1, there's the Volvic Still Mineral Water 1.5L on 32p, also Buxton Still 1.5L at 50p and Nestle Pure Life 1.5L at 50p as well I think (I can't feast my eyes straight on the relevant part of my notes right at the moment) - however the 50p works out more expensive than the Nestle Pure Life 6x1.5L on £2 "offer" price. Also Volvic Touch of Fruit Orange & Peach 1.5L is 50p (only this flavour as far as I have found out) - putting on Avs M after update. The Meringue Nests (8 per pack) have also gone back to £1 fwiw. But the Scissor Tongs (were 48p) appear now to be £1:(. Goodfella's Deep Baked Pizzas - back to £1 offer in M (M has all four versions) - but, pretty useless £1.25 in A:rotfl:.

    M 12 Pork Meatballs - were £1 a few weeks ago. Then went up in price but now gone onto 2 for £2:wall::rotfl::(.

    Don't Buzz the Wire game is now £2:D:T:T. However, please don't buy it as, if you happen to use my store, it will go completely OOS for me and the SEL will then be taken away and you'll leave me with no way to track it for you:rotfl:. So - :silenced:. Shush!! Don't let the muggles know;). (It's not got big RTC label on it in my store now, so, hopefully, no-one will notice, will not buy it at all and hopefully I'll see it later at £1 and be able to clear it out myself then:rotfl:.) Incidentally, the "Big Name" Artists Albums CDs - although there is now very limited selection - that were on £1 RTC months ago in one of my other Ms, have now suddenly appeared in another of them and are now at 47p!

    Kiltie Scampi Bites have gone down to £1. Could have sworn they were 235g before, but they are 220g - not sure if they have had a downsize? - but msm showing price history for a whole year (on 220g) so I assume not. Or Ross Scampi 220g £1 in Iceland according to msm - they seem all to be 220g not 235g so maybe they are (perhaps 235g is just the expensive Savers/Value ones:rotfl::think:).

    The Happy Splashly body wash, whatever it is - Little Explorers - is still showing £1 on msm and as until 17th April - however all three stores (that had the product at all) now have SELs of £2.43 and it has been scanned, checked personally at the SS, and it scans at £2.43. So, it is not the £1 that msm has it as being. At least not in a "£2.43 SEL" store it was not - and all of the stores I had SELs in had them at that price now. A couple had it at £1 on earlier dates - however one of mine had £2.43, I believe wrongly, when it was on offer I believe before. I still have the Mild Bubbly Bath at £1.50 SEL and showing as until 17th April on the SEL though.

    And, lastly to mention, I will be adding a 10p More points offer to the M Vegetarian Balti Pies as they are now showing that offer for me and they are, allegedly, still 96p. Believe that only if I get a change to scan the product - there was no stock in the one store where I had any evidence of it (via its SEL) - as the Free From M own brand frozen are generally 2 for £3 and, when I've seen others that have been supposedly £1 or thereabouts, they have scanned at £1.57 and 2 for £3! Except for the Cheesy Bean Bakes, whatever they are, whatever is on my list, as I believe that those ones are indeed regularly £1 (or thereabouts). And oh, finally, finally, this really last one to mention for now, I have decided the Harpic Tablets are £2.24 - so another reinstatement.

    That's me done for now - I will be back way later, so that's all you are getting for now - you're now on your own:rotfl:.
