Iknow you are but I do like how upbeat you are, have you been to Penny Brohn too.... (my removed post earlier if you were about) ? Xxxx

I haven't Wendy but I will have a look.

I feel incredibly sorry for anyone who is my friend lately because I went on a full scale downer The list of people who were able to tolerate that got considerably shorter but thank you and well done to the people that stayed on it we got there!

I get told off for saying 'it's times like this you find out who your friends are' I make no apologies for finding out exactly that.

I've been in a truly horrible place in recent weeks. I just couldn't pick myself up when I got out of hospital. Some people embraced me and put up with it. Some people turned their backs on me.

thanks to those that didn't give up on me. I've been on a proper struggle I know. I'm on a journey and you have made it through to the next round. congratulations and fasten your seat belts

I'm pressing the golden buzzer on BQ who offered to meet this week. She knows I'm feeling crap and she's had her lot to deal with but she still thought of me and reached out. I was touched beyond belief. it's very humbling that strangers can be so nice

Why did you want PD, to get advice on how to treat carpet burns on your rear?



What is the wall made of? If something flexible such as aluminium, you can get good car dent pullers from ebay for about £6. If ply, they will be no good.

Polystyrene internal I think, lightweight for caravans with some sort of thin wood looking veneer.

This is exactly the same as our caravan, it's blow the mirror near where the curtain for the bunk is, offset from the middle nearer the bunk, you can see the ladder that caused the damage under the bunk.

♥ With you FC with the cats that stayed.
All mine were abandoned by others & found they way to our bin shed. I have never chosen any of my cats. But feel honoured that they chose us ♥
Poor Mrs Tibbs is scared of me (female) but loves Fourp. Her previous owner was the Savages Mother. Says it all
She walks like a old crocodile - I presume from no nutrition when she was growing up but is only 4 years old.

We do our best to make them comfortable & happy - if your cat isn't - you know what is right ♥

Mr P has just come in all fur staring so I wonder who he has encountered on his walk of the perimeter wall

just is so nice when someone gets it. obviously I'm still up because I won't leave said cats side we all deserve to die with a friendly face comforting us. she's still giving me very weak miaows but she is going

group hug?? xx

The own label individual cat food tins - Chunks in Jelly Ocean Fish (400g) and Chunks in Jelly Beef (400g) - are, apparently*, still 2 for 80p. Of course it is clear from msm, which has until 15th May, but I am going by instore.

I had - once again - and my store sets change and are different from the time before - two stores at straight full price, no mbuy on the shelf:mad: - I had them checked at the SS in one store and they scanned at 57p and 2 for 80p. There is, indeed, a mix and match available on them.

I had to check them because there have been some changes on cat and dog products recently and some have come off mbuy. However these ones, apparently, are still on it. I say "apparently" as I've seen roughly a 50:50 split about a few months ago between different Ms. Some were displaying "41p reduced to clear":huh: on these and others at 57p and showing 2 for 80p mbuy signage. I do not know whether they would have scanned at 41p in a "41p reduced to clear" store - I think there may be - possibly a minority? - such stores still around. They may have scanned at 41p or they may have scanned at 57p. However, in the straight 57p on each of them SEL store, they scanned at 2 for 80p.

I've seen the "41p reduced to clear"-signage stores even during the period in which they have been showing 2 for 80p on m.com and msm and came off m.com and went OOS on msm and back on again and then back at 57p and 2 for 80p. I've had 41p RTC in store even when it was showing 57p and 2 for 80p online, so clearly I cannot rely on online as I have conflicting information from instore and therefore have to check that! Also I do not know if an offer is being 'pulled' early and, whilst something may say until 15/5 online, it could be that the website has not been updated yet. Therefore they could on Wednesday have been something else whilst they still temporarily remained at 2 for 80p online until that soon updated. However, although mbuys have ended on certain other cat products, this one is, indeed, as of yesterday, still on.

*maybe some other M has a different price to the one I was in

It's possible that the Savers Fish Fingers (equivalent to A's frozen SP fish fingers 10 pack) may be becoming rarer in M or perhaps this is just a temporarily OOS situation in three out of my four stores. I am sure that, even if they are going or are temporarily stopping producing them for several months, they will never technically become unavailable entirely - they will linger on, in at least one M, where they remain, unbought and possibly until after their BB date, when they may then appear back again more widely. A similar situation existed on the SP Lollies equivalent - I eventually found some at a store with stock in February this year with BB date of October 2015 - then, very soon afterwards, they came back, with new BB date, into many more Ms and are now fully established back again.

I have concluded that M has constantly had these lollies throughout the entire period during which it seemed new packs were not being produced, including several months during which they wrongly were absent from my list because they disappeared from my local stores and then were not found in other stores for me but of course then turned up at one store in date and then, finally, at the other store much later. Before then coming back into M more widely it seems and back into my local stores. They've never not had them. So I am sure a similar situation will exist on the fish fingers even if they may start disappearing from some stores soon. Maybe they are just absent from a few of my stores coincidentally at around the same time and in fact are being produced and are fully available in many other Ms. However, I now had OOS in several stores, before finding stock in one of them!

I will certainly not delete the A SP ones from my list even if the Savers become absent from all my Ms as they will continue to exist somewhere:rotfl:. Just to be aware that, if they start going from price collection stores, they may go N/A:( even though they should always compare as they will always be available from some M!

There's a little too many stores displaying full price on the long life Blue Diamond Almond (1L) products as well, even though they are £1 and should still pick up the offer. It's not enough yet to give rise to concern - they will probably have enough at £1 to pick up that price but just to be aware they might not work. Anyway, they are useless £1 price-match in A at the moment so I'm not sure why we should be buying them:rotfl:.

I don't think this is a general issue, but it shows the occasional problems. I had an issue on the "large" (although it seems fairly small to me, and low weight) 234g Seafood Selection on Wednesday.

My first store had a price label saying "Morrisons Seafood Selection 200g PRICED". However, the product is not 200g but is 234g. I suspect they may have a 200g product, possibly OOS in my store, but have put the 234g product next to where the label for the different product is.

Fortunately, there was one unit of stock (a pack of 234g) with a price marked £2 on it. In this situation, a price collector should pick up the £2 price on the 234g product. However, if that single pack had been sold, then there would be no price from this store. I checked in my second store and picked up the 234g Seafood Selection at £2 SEL there.

These have now gone further down in price in M (you never knew they had them before?:rotfl::rotfl:) to 35p. Previous price was RTC but even that was not good enough for me so I've not mentioned them before now and have been completely ignoring them. They had been some stupid (IMO) RTC price like 95p down from £1.19 or something like that (prices may be completely wrong as I don't remember what seems to me such ridiculousness) - however they are now 35p. They may have already cleared out of some stores - sold to people that bought them :(at, for me, too expensive RTC. Or they may be left in some others at (sigh) £1.40 incorrect SEL (I think that's probably a rarity though - although I did manage to 'hit' one such store on Wednesday, at random - though it is a smaller store and I doubt it will be a price collection store - other stores will have marked them down before as they have been RTC - and still are, now, better RTC). There's probably enough stores with them still left to get one or two hits out of six of 35p; however you could get one £1.40 (or some other price).

Quite a few stores may be completely absent of the Skittles Funsize (or maybe it's just from my stores) that is £1 in M; however it is definitely available with SEL in enough Ms for me in each set of six.

Just an example of how things can disappear from some stores though - the Cif Ocean Cleaner, which was £1 SEL and OOS last week in the store I started off from yesterday, had now completely vanished without trace. I'm glad I remembered it was OOS there before, so that's it wasn't any surprise that it might be completely absent and I didn't need to spend more time trying to look for it! I put it onto my carryovers list to the next store - and very easily found it in stock there at £1.

I also couldn't get the pricing of the Glaceau Smartwater either. That was now completely absent from the shelves, the stock had been moved around so there was no empty space around where it had been and there was no SEL for it. However, :idea:the second store came up with the answer - stock and 2 for 90p.

I knew I had to get the pricing somewhere on this item as I couldn't come back without it and try to rely on msm - that would have been no good:
