    Rockyrose, I hope all that was helpful.

    Gosh, they're even collecting the prices of items I've been collecting this week:rotfl:. The Simeticone which went up in price in M earlier this week. Remember how I initially had that only in one store on Monday but wasn't sure of the price as I thought it may have been an incorrect SEL? They were doing better than me but I've now got it correct. This looks like it's now vs £2.50 at Sains. Now showing OOS for A online though, so be careful. And, of course, the Cadbury Hot Chocolate Puddings against M.

    EDIT: I've just noticed J&J Baby Powder too:T. I like it when they buy M offer items.

    I think that's dance rather than rap, although I class it more as pop than dance probably because it's one of my lesser favourites from that artist. I bet it's not - I bet it's the remixers again:rotfl:. I didn't know what things were - because a lot of pop dance songs from the early 90s that were (are?) on radio turn out to be remixes, so really they should be assigned to the remixer rather than the artist that people think they are. For example, many of the Shamen's hits were radio remixes produced by the Beatmasters - so really they are the Beatmasters whereas the Shamen - that is the original mixes - are some underground tracks that virtually no-one's ever heard.

    You should listen to some proper gangsta rap. And I don't mean Coolio's Gangsta Paradise (I think that's radio edit version:rotfl:). Yours, music connoisseur:o:o.

    As long as there's been no glitches whilst I've been away:rotfl:.

    :hello: I'm now back from my trip out to M times 9. And, was the final state of the M list from Wednesday correct?

    Of course it wasn't:rotfl:! It's mainly items on RTCs that have gone even cheaper, plus items that I haven't had in my earlier stores. I find to hard to believe that the items were not already at these prices on Wednesday, when I failed to have them or any SELs that alerted me to them in the stores I checked. And of course had nothing on Monday or any time before. I was right that it was going to be an error to delete one item - I'll be putting it straight back onto the list having found it again (just like I suspected I would).

    I'm just popping in as I have not got time to stop now. I'll be back later with more details as I need to get up early today to do something else.

    With all the changes now needed, it was certainly useful to do yesterday's visits. They revealed that I was, quite unacceptably(:rotfl:), unaware of some items and the prices of others in M. How can I be unaware:eek::eek: of anything in M? But I was - and I'll mention more and update the list later with another partial update of only a percentage of what's really happened! Some very good things to let you know about (as you go to your M and, most probably, fail to find them:(. But - you never know!).

    See you soon:wave:.
