    Got myself all excited earlier for my priority moment today. :o

    Didn't go to my usual caf! nero as I had some bits to pick up from argoose over castle point and needed to take back the maxi dress! I did get it over my boobs Sarah ;), well once I realised it had a side zip. :rotfl: But unfortunately I don't have the shoulders to carry it off. Shame as I really liked it and think I would have attempted to take it up, was not meant to be. :(

    Anyways, I did all the Argooseing first, and then wandered round to caf! nero having turned on my 3G and paid a £1 for the privilege as my data package had run out. I don't usually use up all my 100 MB lol.

    Well I was Little Miss :mad: got to the door of Waterstones at 5.31pm, caf! nero is inside and notice up on door to say they were shutting today at 5.30 for yearly stock taking. :eek: So no iced frappe crème for me this week sadly, I was really looking forward to it. :( I should have gone there first I might have managed to get one takeaway before they shut....

    We've just had the worst steak I've ever had. I knew as soon as I opened the pack as it felt all knotty if you know what I mean. It was oiled and seasoned and put in a red hot pan for 2 minutes each side and rested afterwards.

    We couldn't even cut through it with the brand new steak knives:o

    After investigations, I found one piece had a thick ligament running through it. Goodness knows what cut it actually was:o

    Might go on their FB to complain.....well it's a nice opportunity to have a chat with aau:rotfl:

    1x Dobre Multiveg Salad (900ML) £0.90 N/A
    1x ASDA Tiger Baguette (400G) £0.75 £0.75
    1x Asda Chosen By You Italian Chopped Tomatoes in Tomato Juice (4X390G) £1.36 £1.30
    6x ASDA Butcher's Selection Prime Beef Ribeye Steak (227G) £21.00 N/A
    1x Cypressa Pitted Olives in Brine (340G) £0.90 N/A
    1x ASDA Creamy Coleslaw (700G) £1.00 N/A
    1x Aoste Saveur de France Saucisson Sec (250G) £2.49 N/A

    Oz makes me smile. I will put his food down. He looks up at me then approaches it. Takes a sniff and more often than not, turns quickly with a little double kick of his right leg and legs it:rotfl:

    He won't touch Whiskas for love nor money:rotfl:

    :beer::D:T:T:j Thank you for this - this makes a big difference! So, thank you indeed to bubbs for posting about them, as none of this would have been mentioned if that hadn't happened.:):T

    As for whether they have the current M price on the APG, are we on Monday yet? I think, by this time of the week, we normally are. I think I'd give it an 80% chance of being so. Depends if they have picked up the £1 price from M on Monday as well though. It's price has fallen dramatically in M, which can sometimes cause a delay:(. However, I urged caution over a previous cereal pack months ago (I think it was honey shredded wheat, totally irrelevant now) but there was no need for my caution as it worked from the outset!

    Does anyone have any womble (shop done today) that has new M prices showing we are on Monday? (You can have a look to see if any of the prices for items in bold on my list are on the womble - or, indeed, if different higher prices:( are on the comp. for M instead which may indicate we are still on last week - as these bold items should only just have gone on in M. Much of the list is now updated but I am still going with a few more items - notably BM frozen items, frozen Quorn 300g pieces and Young's Gastro fish and I think that's more or less about it. McCain's Spiced Wedges too. I'm in the freezer aisle at the end. And Tornado energy drink. I may as well just put them onto the list:rotfl:.) I may give a further hour or so before shopping if I were you just to try to ensure the 'evening update' has been done - it's normally by about this time of night - but maybe give it another hour in the hope it increases the chance of it doing so if it has not already done. (That said, it could be late and only come tomorrow:(.)

    Make sure you get the 375g pack:rotfl:.

    Or the crossed out items on the list (don't buy those if you're hoping for new M prices!) - if anyone sees them no longer picking up their offer prices for M (due to the offer having expired in M no doubt:rotfl:)...
