    Watching wheeler dealers and they just made a record into a bowl.
    Place a tin jelly mould upside down on baking tray and place record on top of the mould with label in centre. Place in oven for 90 seconds (don't think temperature matters) remove from oven and gently press softened record into groves of jelly mould using oven gloves. Remove record and voilà a bowl.
    Could then spray paint in lovely pastel colours to match decorations.

    1x ASDA Non-Scratch Sponge Scourers (10PK) £2.00 £1.00

    A v M

    2x McVitie's Digestives Dark Chocolate Jumbo Pack (500G) £3.00 £2.28

    A v T

    I thought they were £1 each in M?

    So, yet again, maybe, yet more evidence of where the system doesn't pick up a correct price or returns wrongly N/A.

    To be fair to A, it isn't the collection agency (even though it engages that to act on its behalf) and they do get most prices right - it is a minority of items from the entire overall complete total that fail and it's usually ones that we would like to have compare correctly that don't work - on a general shop, most things will be picked up correctly and maybe up to one or two items in total will fail.

    We should buy these McVities Dark Choc Digestives, Princes Red Salmon, Princes Pink Salmon, 1Kg Carrots, SP Yorkshire Puddings and 8 Muller Corners if we want to show the system is completely wrong!:rotfl: Wonder what ASA would make of a complaint where someone had had a complete wrong return from a system that "guarantees" (quite a strong claim) to make it 10% cheaper than the competitor would have cost:think: (if you could have bought the equivalent at that competitor - and some people will indeed have been able to have bought all these items, or equivalent, in their M on Wednesday - maybe to be safe though Muller Corners should be avoided as the M price has changed and being 10% cheaper should be the day of the shop, although ASA says its reasonable (which doubtless it is) to obtain prices one or twice a week).

    I do come across the occasional M that has had £1.14 price for the Chocolate Digestives. Most, for me, though have been £1 and that price, the correct one, has outweighed any £1.14 which has been a fairly rare event on my collection. That said, I have 2 for £3 and higher prices on some occasions right near the beginning of an offer. This £1 offer has been on for some time in M and I haven't come across 2 for £3 and full price £2.27 for a while - I had it once at the beginning of the offer though although that was from a collection that didn't use as many as six stores. I have not had a general problem on them. I do have a problem now on the Natural Confectionery Company Jelly Snakes (which may be comparable from T) - I have £1.41 at four stores and 73p in one - T using three will be hit and miss - may not be in one, mostly likely, or maybe two stores and if they then get just store it may be a £1.41 one:( - otherwise they may have 73p, £1.41 and N/A (no common price so mark it N/A) or even 73p and two times £1.41 = £1.41. Or, possibly, 73p, £1.41 and £1.42 = N/A. Either of these three situations though won't be 73p. Indeed, I'm not even sure the Jelly Snakes really are 73p in M:rotfl:. I have scanned them, in a 73p store and they were 73p. However, this was Wednesday and there seemed, from the SELs, it may have been pulled early and the price actually gone to full price. What I know is that this problem on this item started arising from midweek. They were clear 73p everywhere I had them, for me, on Monday. I'm not totally sure what M's price actually is. (I know they say 73p online but that might not be up-to-date.) I also have a similar issue on the Fox's Galactic Snacks 6 pack - hence why I mentioned them earlier - a number of Ms still showing full price (though I am trying to encourage them to change to 75p which the product really is).

    I've tried several times to crochet but I always end up with a maaaaasively long chain, I can't get to grips with turning yet :o :rotfl:

    I'm doing mini corner to corner crochet, you only need to chain 4 to begin with, but decreasing the squares was difficult to get to grips with. :o
