    Quite a few new mb starting today and looks none are glitching.
    Appears A's have got their act together and are putting a stop to mb end and beginning glitches. :(

    They did say (and were told) that they would have to review their approach to multis following the investigation into pricing practices.

    It does seem we catch them more when coming off a multi than going in, which may be logical as they don't want to get accused of overcharging but unlikely to get complaints if it is cheaper than the SEl?

    I don't know if I have imagined it but there seem to be a number of times where the multi has come off and immediately the single price has dropped? Depending on how long it has been at the higher price previously it may be fine but it does seem they continue with their old tricks of inflating the individual price for the multi.

    There do seem to be less multis glitching though :(.

    Hope that you had a lovely holiday E. You can get back to washing now, will soon be a few shades lighter.:p

    Hoping the tan hangs around for a while, a wedding to go to on 17th.

    The only offers I've got in M&S are food ones, suspect that is my own fault :o

    There's been a few times when I have seen the price of a specific item before it went on multi, went the next week and it has been considerably dearer but on multi, then goes back down a while after it comes off multi.

    Let's face it, we know what the supermarkets get up to if no-one else twigs.

    Hi, hope you are recovering well. :A

    Not exactly 100%

    Throat infection, lead to lung infection, lead to pneumonia, just about recovered, then got a broken rib, 2 cracked ribs and a cracked elbow. :eek:

    Other than that, i'm fine thanks, and am very aware that always someone else is in a worse place, so will quit complaning :D

    Pneumonia takes its time in moving on but pleased that's gone now. You have been in the wars, hugs to you xx

    Morning all hope everyone is well.

    Thinking of you nearly sorted hope the sun shines for your visit to the park.

    AJ I will join you in keeping an eye on Hurricane Mathew. My ds flew to NY yesterday and is travelling around America. Some of his plans were quite vague so feeling a little bit uneasy about this storm. Hope your ds flight is not effected and he has a safe journey home xx

    I've not slept much with the worry but it would have been worse if they had just flown out there :eek: they are due to fly from Orlando at 13.40pm their time but I have a feeling that the roads are going to be packed. I'll rest happily when they land on English soil on Friday :p

    Fingers crossed your ds arrives safely and can get to his destination without any problems. I'll be watching how the hurricane is moving. Heard on USA weather news that hurricane will possibly stay in Orlando then head South :eek:

    Hugs to you cjj xx
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.
