    Sounds lovely. I know you said non MSE but I think you are brilliant with all the deals & freebies. So really it was quite MSE xx

    yes on balance it all evens out - we managed to get Premier inn one night stay in January, we got 2 night deal fab deal in April, free overnight hotel stay in August and another free night to come in October so a bit of madness is allowed :)

    and usually we can get groupon deals for meals when we are in York but this time I used my Bella Italia vouchers, Pizza Express nectar deals so it was just lunches and we paid for the Indian meal on Friday

    we also tend to eat out but not stay for dessert and instead go back to the hotel via Tesco express and get little tiramisu desserts and bottled water - it makes the vouchers last longer :D

    I'm not getting any feedback either Westie ........I'm starting to struggle now for my "selling one item a day on eBay September challenge":rotfl: I'm running out of items.
    But at least I'm starting to get a feel for what sells and what doesn't. Wish I had a big box of old Gameboys:rotfl:
    I sold something back in July and the buyer left feedback last week.

    Are the Nrich milk drinks (400g) really OOS for A or are they available for someone on a.com? They are still showing - several months later - on msm for A but showing OOS (the same as they did months ago). Yet the individual fresh Holland's Pies seem (also) to have an infernal error on msm, whereby they are on the site (if you do a more specific search) but showing OOS. They are in stock on a.com yet do not appear to be picked up by msm - and they do (or have been known to) compare against M which does have them instore.

    So I'm wondering if the same is true of the Nrich drinks. They do not appear to be available in my area, so are not on a.com for me. Has anyone got them (or any of them) on a.com so that I can put them onto Avs M rather than suggesting to buy them in M itself? TIA.

    Otherwise I am wondering why they continue to show, but as OOS, on msm for A (and for T such as it has T on there) rather than disappearing off msm altogether? In effect, it has A at "97p*" (but won't show that as nowhere is in stock on them for msm) rather than "---" - it ought to go to "---" after about seven days of OOS yet it seems these products are still continuously on there as OOS - are they in fact, like the Holland's Pies, available somewhere on a.com but there is some error whereby msm isn't picking them up properly but, because they are there, on a.com, they are staying on msm, for far far longer than 7 days, but continually as OOS when - somewhere on someone's a.com - they are not.
  • I am in shock today. I have been looking for a dress for a wedding next month and I finally found one I actually like today. And I paid full price :eek:

    Very nice and the colour is lovely xx
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.
  • If anyone is waiting for a tcb payout from the coop switch in January mine has just been paid so might be worth checking yours :)
