Popped into a different T whilst out, but the only jam sugar they had was silver spoon......so please check you get the correct Tate & Lyle for the app

Frustrating isn't it :mad:

If the right one had been there I would also have bought the burger grill mates as well but instead I came out empty handed

Morrisons on Sunday there was the Spanish sauces listed for one day so I thought us get more of the chicken tray bake. I went to the bigger Morrisons - not stocked :mad:

Even when it says limited and you look at maps for specific areas it just gives the local ones

Evening all nightmare of a day. Ordered a lawnmower from Wickes used a voucher code and as 6 month old laptop has died I have no means of printing out confirmation email. So did a screenshot on IPad. So off I go but then the one I ordered can,t be found although showing as stock held - so I opt for another model but they can't apply the voucher as it has already been used. After a lot of "discussion" they credit the original order so I have to wait for a credit to go back on my credit card then pay for the alternative mover less £5 voucher on my debit card.

Homeward bound with mower in plus a large dustbin which I had also ordered wedged in front seat which promptly decided to unwedge itself as I am driving along :eek:
Q
Now read all the instructions carefully - lay out all the bits to make sure everything is there (IKEA mode) Right go - wrong! The screws supplied are too big for the holes so I phone Wickes who say to bring it back and they will have a look but it will have to be tomorrow as they might need to speak to Flymo if that is the case.

So it's a Board meeting at Wickes tomorrow now - all I want to do is cut my grass.

Hope everyone is having a better day x

Re the waitrose my picks, my first usage at the weekend - I could not get the list to Load on the main computer so I put the app on my phone - the list is huge and scrolls on forever

I saw the posting about ice cream on Facebook total couponery page so I followed suit - Saturday telegraph £2, latte £2.15, pepperami 10 pack £1.66 (£1 from cos) plus 1 oppotto ice cream and 2 Ben and Jerrys (80p from shopotizes) - my picks took £1.60 off for the ice cream, MOC - then shopimum gave me £4.49 cashback ( cashback plays the rest if my referral money)

A receipt reminiscent of the olden days of MOCs

I am sure she is winding me up.
Last night, she kept pacing to the bottom of the stairs, and not goign up (she usually goes to bed before me being a lady an' all.)
So I go upstairs, and try to call her up....not a chance. I go up, bring her bed down, put it next to the sofa, go back up stairs, bring my quilt down to sleep on the sofa and keep her company. Just getting it all sorted, I turn round, and the cheeky monkey has left me and gone upstairs.
Today, she has hardly moved, just watching and staying lay down, again whimpering whenever she had to sit or stand. So have just been to the vets, and he thinks it could be swelling/infection in her spine at the back end. So £97 later I come home with some anti-biotics and pain killers.
I get in the house, and she is sitting and standing as normal, and she has not even had the tablets yet. Sure she just pretended to wind me up................well the last laugh is on her as she cant go for walkies for a week, that will wind her up

Oh my ribs :rotfl: :rotfl: sounds like she's been giving you the runaround eh . Typical female not wanting to go to bed when you did :cool:
Hope the antibiotics work and reduce any swelling, added to pain killers these should see her right.
Keep us informed how she gets oni don't envy you trying to get tablets down, or are they capsules that you can open and mix in her feed perhaps.. Good luck anyway X

I would not be surprised if incorrect prices were picked up for M from today's collection. In the Ms used today, I have items now without SELs, even though the price has not changed. The "£4 RTC" SEL item, with crossed out £9.50 and crossed out £6, suggesting a series of price reductions - I was told at the till that that is... wait for it, is it £9.50 or £6? Or £4...? Er, no... £8:rotfl: according to what I was told. Which then, for me, immediately threw into doubt all the other numerous £4 RTCs on similar items obtained from SELs elsewhere - however I did scan one of those at another store, the only one item I could now find, and it did scan, at SS, at £4 - so, I've no clue, maybe that one is and possibly some of the others are, or maybe they aren't, and maybe the other size at the other store is the £8 I was told, or maybe it's £4 or maybe something else.

Meanwhile the £3 SEL item scanned at 50p:rotfl:. I thought it would - it was from my store where I have a whole freezer, of several shelves, where, I think, it seems that almost every item on the shelving has an incorrect SEL. There's at least three there - all different versions that, according to other stores, are also 50p and I think much of everything else on the shelving is probably wrong too:rotfl:.

And M do indeed have the 1Kg I Can't Believe spreads - of which at least the Light version has been returning N/A on the APG. I reckon they may have gone onto RTC SELs in the APG stores and then sold out - however I found some stock in one of my stores today. SEL of £2.70... meaning that it's £2:rotfl:. Obviously they have been down to £1.50 and £1.37 before (and they are currently £1.50 in A) so, if that's an RTC in M at £2, it's no good - although £1.50 vs N/A on the APG was good - no guarantee though that that will continue as it is really £2 in M (although I suspect they no longer have it in the collection stores).

And it does seem that, with me having problems with the Crispy Batter Fish Fingers, the APG is too. These are £1 in M (as checked, yet again, at the till today due to another absent SEL) but the APG have an even worse price than any I've ever seen:

1x Birds Eye 8 Crispy Batter Fish Fingers (224G) £1.00 £2.00:(

The British public can always be relied upon to make good, rational and sensible decisions though, as the shopper cut the APG even more by stupidly buying the A mbuy and this useless thing against M:mad::

1x Birds Eye 2 Breaded Fish Fillets (200G) £1.00 N/A

At least the APG are useless too, by failing yet again to pick up the M Baking Potatoes at £1:D:

1x ASDA Grower's Selection British Baking Potatoes (4PK)£0.75 N/A

They got this right - and at least this would have helped, against M, picking up the M mbuy:

3x Tiger Energy Drink (250ML) £1.50 £1.00

However the Batter Fish Fingers made a difference as they cut the APG down from £1.46 (or actually 15p less than that if the potatoes had compared correctly) to 58p:( and it turned out that T were best overall giving just 77p:(:( and returning N/A on the Tiger drink. So, not 10% cheaper at all it seems to me - and I think they may have picked up some other fish fingers that are at £2 price in M in error (I have some in one of my Ms very near to where the Batter Fish Fingers, that do not have a SEL, are).

I've also seen one from a week ago where they missed the Cream Crackers for M.

Good evening all, hope everyone is well.

I asked them to take them out of their boxes but then I had to buy a carrier:o as they wouldn't all fit in my own bag:o:rotfl:

For that amount Nellie it might be worthwhile taking the car to the back of the store and collecting them there.

Also .....WARNING.....don't drop these large bottles in the shower....they may crack your shower tray:eek:

Thanks TM, I'm back with them all now. The store is on a retail park and it was very quiet so I was able to park right by the front doors. The boxes were not overly large like they sometimes are so I managed ok
Thanks for the warning, hope you shower tray repair works ok, the last thing you want is a leaky shower :eek:
