My little dish offers say ends in 19 hours x

Thank you. Mine does too (now) - they have updated again but if you want it, go quick as today's experience shows they can and will pull offers at any time, so check as you go through the till that it is still live (when it is closed you can still claim wiht your receipt, but it appears they state a time of purchase/receipt after which they will not redeem).

Remember that the T magazine has a £1 off voucher too.

Are you absolutely, hand on heart, sure about that? :D

I know how long it took you to find a chest freezer that was A the right size and most importantly B at the right price :cool:;):rotfl:

Absolutely sure, I had the phone in my hand to order and OH stopped me.

A garage door is basically a garage door, nothing more. A freezer, well, it's a lot more important

Evening all

Technical advice needed pretty pretty please.

I have a series of about 6 photos which I took with the ipad so they are on my camera roll. I also put them in a specific named album

I want to put them on my FB thread but no matter what way I try and do it after Ive uploaded them via the FB app on the ipad they appear in any old order completely out of order :mad:. So twice I've deleted them all off

So I sent them to the main computer via email attatchement thinking I could just save them to the desktop and try and upload from there but of course the photos are now sideways or upside down :mad:

I've done this before but I've no idea what I am doing wrong this time - has anyone got an idiots guide

(and before anyone thinks they are lewd photos before the watershed :rotfl: no they are the Christmas shoe boxes, all wrapped and packed and each year I put the before and after photos onto my FB thread - no idea why FB is being difficult this time ...

Mine says 18 hours so clearly I need to go shopping! I emailed them (thinking I would have days to do this) and they said we can have two of each flavour.

It has been very quick catching up today! Is everyone OK or just doing exciting things?!

My shopimum says 17 hours as well - I am not doing the Little dish ones, no time this week otherwise I would have put them on Olio.
I would have got the walls sausage tray bake thingy as well ...

Having had the problem with the Plastic Cups last week, I am now moving on to having one on the Plastic Plates:rotfl:!:((:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:)

I have M Plastic Plates (10) with 50p price, which is an RTC price picked up from a store a couple of weeks ago. However, I now have them at full price £1 with store-specific stickered 'reduction' of 75p:(. (:(I also had, elsewhere, Warnicks White Vodka (70cl) with high price crossed out and store specific sticker of £7.20 - I think, if you peel off that sticker and scan the regular BC, you may find the national price is slightly cheaper than the store-specific alleged "reduced" price - of £7. I thought it was even cheaper than the store price but it isn't - for 20p it hardly seems worth bothering:rotfl:.)

I have deleted the M Plastic Plates (10) from the list as it seems the 50p RTC price is now an old SEL - I had no stock there and the price may now have gone back to full price. They just like confusing me as to what has happened:rotfl:. Perhaps they are two different products, both called M Plastic Plates (10)? Anyway, I will not be going for a 'reduction' to 75p that doesn't go back down as low as the product - or same thing in reality even if technically different product on different BC - was before. So, I will have my problem and delete it and doubtless I will later find it was wrong and that the product had generally stayed at 50p all along:rotfl:.

Actually it's probably only me that sticks to the technicality of different BCs meaning it is a totally different product (even if otherwise of identical description). Even M itself has been known to conflate two items that are on different BCs and not to maintain the distinction that they are two different products, recently claiming a reduction on some plants when the higher price was the other stock on a different BC. So they don't always maintain it themselves - in effect it was a reduction as the products (although different BCs) are, really, the same - although we know what happens now: that lower price stock comes in and remains until it is sold whilst higher priced stock comes back later and, for a period, both versions exist across M, so both prices are available (somewhere) and I now reflect the 'different' products on my list.

I think the 50p Primrose will be quite rare now. I could not find any 50p stock on Monday, but it will be somewhere still (that just happens to have not been bought) - last time, I had one unit of stock at 50p lingering at one store for months afterwards, until eventually it got bought. Sometimes the price can go back to 50p when 50p is still available on stock from months ago that exists in another store and hasn't been bought. This time they have taken 50p out of my stores, and most stock of Mixed Primrose in M now will be on the 70p BC:(. However, I cannot imagine that zero stores out of over 500 will exist where at least one unit of stock just hasn't been bought and is still there, maybe hiding behind some other plants or customers just haven't noticed it - it could well exist in a few stores for some time to come. I can never be sure when every unit of stock that ever existed has been completely bought or otherwise perished and been destroyed. They could exist in stores, or taken into the back room and put somewhere and forgot about and then brought out later (with plants though I suspect not - as they would need watering by the staff - but non-plants stuff that is long-lasting could exist for ages before being rediscovered) - some stock could exist for years. And, with it now approaching Hallowe'en, I bring out this one:

M Easter Bunny Ears Hairband 50p, with 25p store specific price:rotfl::rotfl:

There it is - suddenly appeared on the RTC shelf and now there, months after! I have been complete N/A on this item for six months and, now, all of a sudden come into stock and with a 50p (25p) price picked up!:rotfl: With this, the Easter Bonnet and Easter Bucket must surely now be around somewhere?:eek: Bound to be, with me having taken them to the lost list only a few weeks back after lingering on the list and no Easter stock being seen now by me for months:rotfl::rotfl:. Until this one new item now!

I am already starting to meet myself coming back, as I have had items from last Christmas on the list in case they are still around somewhere. Several of these have come back now though, in preparation for the new season, and of course are back at full prices - so I have been able to remove them from the list or delete them from the lost list (they will not go back to the main one until they go onto RTC after Christmas again). The latest one is the Festive Cranberry dog food bits, which had been kept on my list right until now - after all I was seeing various Christmas items still on various RTC shelves months after and still some there even this summer! The Cranberry Lick-e-Lix disappeared for me a month or so into the New Year, after being found on 50p RTC, and I did not see it since - but I imagine that it would have kept on in some store, unsold, at the back of an RTC shelf maybe for longer. However, the product is now back at £1 in M, so I have been able to get rid of it.

I will add the Easter hairbands onto the list!:rotfl::rotfl:
If you find those, you will be lucky indeed. It could even be the only unit of stock that M has anywhere now. However, I have seen it. So, M has it (as of collection day yesterday) and it was available for purchase in one store at 25p yesterday. So, it's a buy in M:rotfl: - even if almost no-one will have it in their M! Someone's M does have it.

As for me, this item didn't exist in M as I wasn't aware of it and only existed as from 24th October:rotfl:. I can feel it's going to exist on the list now until next year's Easter season starts, as I will never truly know whether all stock of it (and for all I know there could be a unit of stock in one of the other 420 stores that I haven't visited) has truly gone and whether the item ever becomes completely unavailable from M.

I have not seen the Rum and Brandy Sauces appear in M more generally yet. However, I feel that they are both threatening to shoot up in price and do so! I have been able to remove a number of Hallowe'en-themed products from the list. (Yes, I start removing them when the relevant season comes back!) The Dobson's Toffee, that was long 43p throughout the rest of the year, and had been seen not long before, but, at £1 now, has already been removed a few weeks ago. It will return after Hallowe'en:p:money:. (I have last year's stock BB 31 October this year:rotfl::rotfl:.)

It's like the Disney baby items that got removed for the duration of the baby event, had been on the list beforehand, as last year's stock had still been lingering on somewhere (I did have physical sight of it!), and were put back onto the list after the event was over - occasional stock of those still exists in some places btw and now has reductions from even lower down than 50p on stickered stock.

If you right click on the photos on the computer you should be able to rotate them, not sure if the same would work on Facebook.

One of the guys in work just had our line manager screeching at him in the car park because of a photo on facebook. So unprofessional and if the company was actually ok to work for and could make an actual decision they wouldn't have to be so possessive of what ppl post. We already had a few whistleblower's over certain things. I promptly went through my facebook and blocked any manager name I could think and my page is already private.

I suspect something similar has happened with OH. His account is private - even I cant see anything on it as I took myself off his friends list - honestly his FB was so tedious :rotfl:
But he was accepting friends requests from just about anyone and I said to him only have people on your list you would be happy to socialise with in real life - such an innocent really.
So he has been unfriending a lot but we suspect someone has brought to the attention of management - mainly for spite reason. Honestly its worse then the kids playground
Needless to say this person belongs to a photo group and posts photos regularly, current ones which are very much against company policy

Anyway that was last week, we have learnt and moved on.
Both of us were so fed up of FB by the summer we both took the apps off our phones and ipad and I only started using it again because of Total coupery and the SSC pages ...-

Worse than I thought - of course I should have known - buying 13 Muller the other day royally messed up the comparison as 11 became 10 ... and the remaining 2 just happened to be different matching flavours so the APG matched correctly (from their perspective ).

Never mind, I still am ahead - onwards and upwards .

Do Little Dish need fridge space? If so, no point me going as I am Mullered!
