Lost my wombling mojo a bit but anyway over I goes today to the carpark for a mooch about – so out of practice I turned up without a £1 coin for the trolleys. I saw a tall beautiful lady in the distance leaving back her trolley so I offered her 2X 50ps for her £1 coin. When the transaction was complete she jumps into the passenger seat of Tom Cruise’s Range Rover (well he thought he was Tom Cruise) - he had the complete look.

Spotted she had left her receipt so I waited for Tom to leave the carpark before pouncing – over £200 spent. Can’t help think Tom Cruise might be payin’ for my dinner tonight if that receipt comes good. Some people have more money than sense. I hear there is a great facebook wombling group – the rat in the hat group or something I think it’s called. Might be worth me joining to get my mojo bak – anybody else in there?

:hello:There should be a glitch on Ambrosia Custards/Rice Puddings (120g pots) at the moment, against M, assuming the Hartley's jelly trigger is still available in A. The Ambrosia products are straight 25p in M. The Hartley's jellies are 4 for £1 in M, and I would hope that that was picked up, however they are 25p straight in S so may be better against there - and you can't mix and match Hartley's jellies with Ambrosia in the same shop, beyond the use of the trigger which you are required to do, for the reason now stated on the M list. And don't try Ambrosias vs S:rotfl:. It could be four useful items towards the 8 vs M though.

At the moment the M list is incomplete and not updated (as we now know, these days, it is always incomplete to some extent as long as I continue to fail to visit every M in the country on each collection day:rotfl:. However, you know what I mean). I therefore can't guarantee that it shows every Hartley's/Ambrosia product at present as I think I still have some to find from within elsewhere on my pieces of paper. In other words, I think there are still some that I have not yet got on the list and they will appear there as soon as I can put them there.

Meanwhile I do like things like this. (Not the product but the situation.)

Diet Coke (150ml)


40p any 4 for £1.00
26.7p / 16.7p / 100ml

• 
  45p any 6 for £2.00
• 
  45p any 6 for £2.00

M 4 for £1. There are others as well, none showing M pricing on msm as none are sold through online - some of them in the A offer, others which may not be in A's offer or some which A may not even have - I will find out later when I go through them. Hopefully it will stop wombles on which people think that just 600ml of coke at £1 is a good idea from losing drastically vs M. I do like it when I am able to see the "---" as meaning "Any 4 for £1.00":rotfl:.

Any available on a.com on which M is 4 for £1 will go onto list, for information, although I do not expect people to be thinking they are good price and to be buying them.

EDIT: I think it's just Diet Coke and Coca Cola, and Fanta Orange going onto mbuy that was already on the list as it was slightly cheaper (but the mbuy is now 'better'). There is Old Jamaica Ginger Beer, which is showing 42p straight for Ocado, also in M at 4 for £1. And four different Schweppes cans each of the same volume (one of them Canada Dry Ale) and two different 150ml Britvics.

Everything about my DH is hard work - love him to bits though and wouldnd't swap him !!! 30 year anniversary next month and off on a Thomson cruise to celebrate - we should be in Dubrovnik on the big day (just as we were on our honeymoon)

Mine's the same - works his socks off - never remembers wedding anniversary etc. When I challenge him for forgetting he says it is the day we met that is important to him - psst he forgets that date too

Often ask him if he'd get another woman if anything happened to me - he always gives a very definite "Nope, definitely not - its a man I am getting next time around -never make the same mistake twice" :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

er :think::think: just turn it over :rotfl:

Yeah, that's what I said! But he wouldn't even touch it to blow it up or anything so I'd be making another job for myself. Plus the other side is plasticky so not that nice for sleeping on. We used to have proper canvas and rubber ones from my parents but after 20 years they've finally started degrading and I can't find any MSE-priced ones to replace them

Bargain well done:T:T
Think most of us married would agree with that part....most of the time:rotfl:

If you do not have the bad times, you don't appreciate the good times!

Its very surprising as we have several previous marriages between us and all our workmates and friends gave us a maximum of 2 years ! Good job we are both bloody minded.

I do think bloody mindedness is extremely important, and compromise, and love .. the list could go on and on

I met OH when I was 18, I was from a semi rough protestant family in a posh area, he was from a very very rough catholic family in a very very rough area.. :D:D My father did everything he could to separate us...(lovely man!)

One of my friends has always expressed her disapproval as we never married....... in the time we have been together, she is on her 5th marriage and still disapproves of us not marrying.... she really does not get what is important! x

I started being asked to resnap/report my receipt and then when I went to upload the next one it had gone

I wonder if they have anyone in over the weekend to deal with all the complaints they'll get. I feel for them if they do, it will be like having 100s of mhoc's on their case :rotfl:

:eek: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
