Make sure it's the Muller Rice Chocolate & Caramel not the Muller Light Peanut & Caramel as the Light is online in the offer. If not doing the 11+ way. The alternative, the Hallowe'en product, whose name I have forgotten, but ought to be obvious what it is if your store has it (orangey latte pot), is not a Rice but is a Light I think. Just to confuse everyone with the glitches:rotfl:.

EDIT: And a Gold Edition Toffee Shortbread as well I now see (thanks wacky)!:T We are spoilt for choice, over picking one of these potential three. Though I don't think the Gold Edition was in my stores. I'm just hoping the orange pot would work as that's one I've independently identified and I can never be sure of myself:rotfl:.

I am still reading around the avois points, and really do not get it.

The cheapest flight in points to bangkok is

19500 Avios with £234.45 taxes, fees and carrier charges

If you shop around you can get the flights for not that around £200 on top of the taxes etc.

I really do not understand.

The situation in Thailand is a bit delicate at the moment - tourists are being advised to act respectfully. I've a friend who lives and works out there most of the year and this is part of her email ...


"need to behave respectfully following King Bhumibol's death last week. The country will be in mourning for ages - tv, football, nightclubs, girlie bars, festivals, full moon parties - all have been cancelled or severely restricted for the time being.
Brightly coloured clothing will be frowned upon. My husband returned there last night and travelled in black, down to his socks. And with lese majeste laws amongst the harshest in the world just don't complain!
Visitors can still sunbathe on beaches and drink in moderation"

Have seen a confirmation of the peanut & caramel muller still working today.

Peanut & Caramel meaning Muller Rice Chocolate & Caramel? That was the source of my confusion, it's you:rotfl:.

Unless it really is the Light Peanut & Caramel but that's showing in the offer online? I take it that it's the Rice Chocolate & Caramel as the picture posted by wackynut is one of those I've seen instore and thought looked like a trigger - see, I should have trusted myself:rotfl:.

It is the peanut and caramel (not muller rice) that is showing on asda. Just assuming it is an invisible trigger because I have seen two confirmed shops now today

savvy, did you see my earlier confirmation shop done this morning ?

DS1 is constantly travelling through Thailand (and Loas, Cambodia, Vietnam... and a few other places). If we are going to see him we really need to fly into Bangkok and then get a connecting flight as we will have to meet him in the middle of nowhere!

The kings death will really make the country unstable, and whilst the Thai people are lovely they can be extremely violent when they think that they have been offended. I don't really understand why they were do devoted to him, but he did bring stability and lived a reasonably modest life in a country of poverty. We had sailed past one of the queens residences, it look just like a normal house... :T

DS1 is being careful, but I do think that the country will take a very long time to adjust. Lets hope it is a peaceful transition, as they really do not take any prisons there (we saw a demonstration and the police's response to the demonstration... scary).

No of course not:o:o:rotfl:, but that Winter Edition one is the "Hallowe'en" one that I am referring to:T. So that's confirmation that it works:T:T. Wow - I've identified a trigger:D:rotfl:!

So I nipped down the road and bought a TD last night in order to save 5p as I wasn't sure instore whether that was online or not:(. (But I got a £2.02 womble from the eventual store (should have been over £3 as Weetos cereal in M is £1) so it did cover the petrol for the short extra journey:cool:. Even though I can't use APGs for petrol but will buy whatever petrol and the £2 will go towards shopping instead that would otherwise have been £2 cash.)

TD no longer working of course. It now seems it's these invisible trigger options instead (or buying 11 comparable of one type will give one of them as an invisible trigger itself) - £2.91 back no longer available and price has gone back up again a little but doesn't work out bad.
