    Bit of a difference:rotfl::rotfl:. It's 75p in M - but don't expect T to match it as it's RTC (if you can find any stock anywhere in M).

    Alright, that, unbelievably - and just in time;) - is everything updated from the stores from Saturday. I lost count - it was actually eight stores in the end, not seven! I haven't changed Wednesday's 'new' items - they are still in bold, but there's a lot more in bold now as the ones from Saturday have been added on top. So, if you saw the list before - they'll always be something good you'll miss if you don't look - did anyone see the Benetton Eau de Toilette that slipped onto the list at £3 a few weeks ago? - technically I've lost that in my store now, but it was £3 SEL for two weeks, with no stock at any stage, so I have got it from there - hope someone has luck somewhere and hope it is £3 - there's another EDT (but one for Men) now on the list at £2.39 - do check the list again as a lot more has been added.

    And I'm definitely still missing stuff:rotfl::rotfl:. It'll be different stores again tomorrow, for the price collection (I have to plan my route). I'm not bothering with the M Mr Happy Mug at £1.50 and the Mr Men Mr Greedy Character Mug at £2 for the list. There were some Slogan Mugs, and some others, at 50p a couple of months back - don't know where they ever went to!

    I doubt T's 3:p stores would have any Ceylon Tea, and they wouldn't want to match an RTC anyway (it's excluded under the terms). However, trust them to have a store that has 75p on the shelf and doesn't indicate any RTC - they might pick it up:rotfl:. (But I think not.)

    That's it - I'm done - goodnight!:wave:

    Question for those who have used Eurostar

    How easy on a scale of 1-5 is it to change trains at Lille?
    I will be travelling alone with one case and have mobility issues.

    Mum says I should pay more to get the train straight to Disney where I will be meeting my dd and family (they are flying but live near airport while I live near Eurostar station).
    The difference is £135 but I need to base my choice round ease and the fact it will be late October.
    If it is reported as easy I will go none direct.

    TIA

    My Parents used to a change at Lille. I'll ring Mum in morning & find out.
    I'll let you know ♥

    Edit - just found a very useful youtube of changing at Lille :D

    I found the Scholl Pressure Point Foam Padding at 55p in M at Stamford, Lincs. - store specific RTC will not compare - so quite a lot cheaper than attempting Tvs M's general price there:eek:!

    Hey, what are you doing on my patch? This is 11 miles from me but I never go there. For some reason I don't like that Store, the atmosphere and layout don't seem right to me:sad:

    You certainly get about!

  • Thank you 3dogs for the reminder I've just placed an order for four blouses and two cardigans for £7.49 that's a start for my return to work clothes.
    I am starting my last week off, it's been a funny old year and the year ahead is looking to be an exciting one too...........

    The 25% off was only on certain ones, it didn't say on SEL that this was one of them, did anyone get the 25% off this? Thanks :)
