I paid through PP and got my refund 2 or 3 days ago, though I never got a cancellation email from them. My friend got the out of stock email the day following her order and I think she's had her refund too

No cheap loo roll in my A but got another t/brush thanks to Anon:

1x Colgate Minions Battery Toothbrush (EACH)
£6.99 £3.50
1x ASDA Smartprice Baked Beans & Sausages In Tomato Sauce (405G) £0.38 £0.39
1x ASDA SmartPrice Chocolate Chip Cookies (250G) £0.35 £0.40 1x ASDA Ready Salted (6X25G) £0.85 £0.85

1x ASDA Grower's Selection 6 Firm & Juicy Salad Tomatoes (6PK) £0.65 £0.69
1x ASDA Grower's Selection Loose Lemon (EACH) £0.34 £0.35

Has that got incorrect price for M as I believe it had at one stage? And are the tomatoes now not capable of 10% cheaper than M? TIA. (:oI think Salad Tomatoes at one point were cheaper in Aldi than 10% off (which probably on the APG is now not available). However the savings on the toothbrush and/or use of a womble may have made that more worthwhile - as well as, probably, the cost of a journey - even if only a mile or two - onto Aldi being more than the few pence saved.

In fact, if you could post whole M comp. on that shop... TIA. (Also wondering if the Lemons work against M.)

Anyway......bet your "arms" are not secondary savvy. I'm sure they are essential to you:D......

They are. However, I am a living being and not a dead chicken/"former chicken that is no longer a chicken because it's dead:rotfl:". However, I would have to cope if I ever were to lose one, or even both, of my arms and I am sure I would keep alive even if I were to do so (I hope extremely that I will keep both my arms completely intact for the rest of my life) and of course there are people that have, sadly, lost arms and, since they have to live without them, they are then not "essential" in that respect since it is possible to survive without having arms, even if you may wish that you did have them. I'm sure there are also people that never had, or lost, arms at such a young age that they have no experience, or no real experience, of what it is like to have arms and, in that way, the life without arms, in which they have never existed or not been essential to staying alive, is all they have known and therefore their life is normal to them. It should not be assumed that disabled people such as that would be necessarily upset about that as they would never have had something in order to know what it was that they were missing. I have never been able to see body language (except the most overt) and I don't feel unhappy about missing that. Because I don't know what not missing it would ever be like - and because it's just the way my life has always been and I've always been happy about that. It may be slightly different if you have no arms.

But I could not know. Life may be more difficult for you as a result, and some tasks would be difficult or impossible, but, since that's always how it's been you could never know how much easier it would be without that lack of arms. It's therefore as it's always been for you - and you've always had to work harder as a result over some things, and sometimes not known that you have, like my Asperger's. I think - but again I could not know (since I've never been non-autistic and therefore don't how how much difficult it might be) - that some things are actually easier if you have Asperger's. Such as remembering large amounts of detailed information. I do not know how difficult, or not, that would be if I were not to have Asperger's. We all live in whatever state we are in - who knows how anyone else ever perceives the world? - and we all have things that are easier and harder, to different degrees, for us - it shouldn't be assumed automatically (and I don't suggest that you were doing so) that disability is always more difficult or what is seen as disability because it's defined in terms of what the vast majority of people do not have - to some extent, the common vast majority condition could make some things less easy to do than some people with other conditions that are sen as disability because they are not the "non-disabled" common form.

:rotfl::rotfl: Lol, I never thought about this ten or even five years ago. I assumed that I was "normal" and didn't have a disability. I didn't know that I had Asperger's (although, typically for me:rotfl:, in advance of everybody else, I had briefly thought, many decades before, that I had the condition but then wrongly ruled it out). I've had a lot of assumptions and things that used to be clear for me challenged and questioned more recently and now no longer know that they are fully correct or that I can continue to maintain what I used to believe. The assumptions have usually been challenged by myself:rotfl:. It's good though:D - it's a different perspective and gets you off into a different direction - and maybe it's one that, if started to be believed overall, could improve society and make us all better over what we do and how we treat each other in a way that is good for everyone:T So I hope, or maybe I do, that my "odd" arguments may gain wider acceptance if I post about them here:rotfl:.

(I would never have thought about disability being a "good" thing, in some respects, during the time during which, for many decades, I believed - it now turns out wrongly - that I did not have a disability at all. But I accept truth and fact. It was not a case of being in denial. I did not know that I had the condition. As soon as I beware aware that I have the condition, which was when an autism specialist diagnosed me, I accepted and believed that I have it. That said I don't need a diagnose to "know" about something. I believe I have PTSD even though I have not been diagnosed. I have all the symptoms (it's a form of, even though the symptoms are now diminishing) - and the mere opinion (or absence of) of a medical professional does not change the fact that you have a condition. You have the condition, even before the professional diagnosis. That's just a diagnosis. So it's not always needed for me to "know". On the occasion with Asperger's, though, I didn't know prior to my diagnosis.)
