    I did indeed, thanks for asking.

    I went on the Orlando Eye, visited Madame Tussauds and Sealife, went to the Harley Davidson factory and workshop, went to Universal Studios (we had the food area to ourselves from 6pm on Wednesday evening and the rides from 9pm :D), went to the House of Blues at Disney Springs, visited Walmart and bought some bits and pieces for the peeps back home, went to the Premium Outlet at the top of I-drive and got some bits for my DS, and went on a little $20 helicopter tour, all in between meeting with nearly 300 people. My conference ended the day before the Megacon conference started (same venue), so I got to see a few geek and freaks too ;)

    My fitbit tells me I walked 51 miles over 6 days! No wonder my feet were killing me.

    I got home at lunch time of Friday and slept the rest of the day away, as well as a good part of Saturday.

    It sounds like you had a great time too :)

    A womble, from the store where I'm not supposed to pick up wombles anymore but I did anyway.

    No use. They are more than 10% cheaper:D:(, due to the shopper buying a yogurt drinks pack at £2 and thus ruining the entire shop:( - and despite nearly everything else that compared being not 10% cheaper. That's the reason why it's good for them to offer 10% cheaper on price-matched items like these, as the 10% on each item amounts to a few pence. Costs them very little indeed - and, in this case, costs them nothing at all despite not being 10% cheaper on the majority of the shop. Costs them nothing at all on most shops as most receipts I suspect are never checked.

    There was so much walking! On the Friday mine told me I'd done 26.5k steps :eek: the very little I saw if megacon was quite cool until they told us it'd be $40 to get in :eek: when you had universal to yourselves, we were in the rainforest cafe in Disney springs and I was being served the tallest burger I have ever, or am likely to ever see again :eek: Walmart was definitely an eye opener :rotfl:by the end if the week, my feet were screaming at me to stop :rotfl:

    I feel so much more normal and adjusted today than I did yesterday.

    Glad you got to see some stuff :D

    I've never managed to eat a funnel cake yet. Every time we go we say we'll have one, but so far we never have.
    MKS, do those high scores in MIB have anything to do with the red button by any chance ;)

    Woodwork plus ceiling at mil's has all had its first coat. Dinner was braised steak, chips, onions, mushrooms and roasted cherry tomatoes, followed by fruit salad and cream :D Am quite enjoying this being catered for lark.

    I watched Kingsman tonight ... I still have not got a clue what was going on :o. Was it supposed to be a comedy, an action movie or just an opportunity to swear lots :D. Very surreal.

    :hello:There's a lot that has happened, as well as a lot that hasn't happened, in my Ms today, the information from which I'm be using to update the M list.

    Main ones I think are some baby food jars now on 30p/40p/50p RTC in M (depending on the weights and products). Most of the ones I have are Cow & Gates, with some Heinzs and some Hipp Organics. Bet none of them are available in A now:rotfl:.

    :idea:I notice in fact several of those on 12:D for £6 in A (77p individual - seem to have put individual price down?:(:think:) are on the 'cheap' prices in M. The trick, I think, will be to pick 11 of one that is available in the price collection stores, so best luck on that one:rotfl:. I'll put the list of what I have onto the M list as a priority, as I don't think any of them are on msm. Might have some at 12 for £6 then £1.00x10 vs 50px10, maybe. I would wait until the price collection update as I don't know whether this were at these prices in M earlier in the week.

    I have many Aussie products at £2 and I think I've found an additional one beyond what is on msm:D. There was also one that I didn't have in my first store today, but I went to the next store and it was there!

    Nothing like piecing things together again:rotfl:, from the incomplete information at each M. It's interesting how things have vanished from one of my stores and have moved to another of them. Then the store that has all the additional items doesn't have a whole range of items that I had in the other store, so I need to go to both to pick up them all, and then there's one that missing that's only at my third store - and then I still haven't got everything as a further item is at my fourth store, which doesn't have another item that was in two earlier ones, but does have an item that was in one of those but not the other, together with another store:rotfl:.

    I'm still left with the impression that I haven't got all of a range (the Cow & Gates being an example - despite the vast number I now have, I still reckon I've not found them all). But, of course, I just don't know. There are also a couple of errors on last week's list to put right, that now turn up due to clearer information in another store. I think I've got incorrect prices on a small number of items today - I reckon the minority price is the correct one on one item, so I'll be using the duff and incomplete information from my stores to work out what to put onto the list.

    I'm starting to think that the Duni Tablecovers at 50p are no longer available in M. I'm sure that I am mistaken about this:rotfl:. I did see some further evidence of them still being 50p in one store a few months ago but now have seen nothing since. As far as I am aware M no longer has the 50p Duni Tablecovers but I'm sure my awareness is completely absent as usual:rotfl:. I think it's likely that they have gone from most Ms, but I can't rule out the possibility that there are still some in some store somewhere (which could be your store). I've not been able to get out to further Ms lately, which I would have liked, but had to stick mainly to my own useless stores:rotfl:. However, I did think earlier today that my base station:D (the primary store used for each price collection) has been different each time for three collections in a row now, so, maybe helped it's helped find a different perspective and caught more items as a result. I do feel I'm missing some today though - I can't be sure I've seen everything in my second store as my base was my first (as it always is, figures). Real chance that I've found some of the items I've found today - I just happened to glance around, just before I was about to leave my second store, and caught a glimpse of a cereals box on offer that wasn't in my first store - and, only because of that, went and had a look at it. Would not have had that had I not just happened to turn around and my eyes caught a glimpse of it.

    The Pampers Active Fit products at £2 are still around but maybe they are less likely to be picked up now - or maybe not. Probably still around enough, if you get the right ones. The "Very British" shampoos have gone to 97p - however I don't think that will be picked up but that's just because the majority of my stores (in so far as they have them) are still showing £1.44. The Cillit Bang Toilet Cleaner was still available for purchase from M at 62p today (this has been checked at the till) - however I now have £2.48 SELs showing in the stores in which I have it.

    Best of luck, in due course, on the Cow & Gates if they are attempted.
