Hi! I've lost a number of items in M earlier that I could have done with seeing:(. I suppose it's inevitable, with so many stores adding so much information, that I lose some of them. Big changeover in M this week so I don't know when I'll catch up with it or even when I'll get time to do the updating. However I've looked at the number of pages I've got and it's not substantially more than what it usually is - probably all the items I've lost:rotfl:. There were a lot of carryovers, some of them to failure to find the items. Maybe I'll find them again later. Of course there were no 10p freezer items obvious in any of the stores I've seen, so I've failed to identify those items. (And I wonder whether aau1 has got all of them:rotfl:.) I will 'nick' them though:o, those which he has, with thanks:).

I did find some other items though - but there's clearly a lot of catching up to do as some have unchanged SELs in some stores, so it's one of those occasions where we could get anything returning until things settle down hopefully for the mid-week collection.

The Weetos cereal may even continue to compare to £1 for M until Friday morning at the latest (though I would not risk then - as Wednesday's results - I expect the product to be full price on Wednesday - should be updated on Thursday normally). The stores I've seen have not changed the SELs to full price on Monday in readiness for the ending of the offer unusually on a Tuesday. If that situation is replicated in the APG stores, it looks like they'll pick up £1 and continue on that until sometime on Thursday (when the Wednesday collection will doubtless thwart us).

I no longer have any issue on the 3 pack Salad Peppers. All stores I've seen are now showing 82p - unless I just happen to have picked a bunch that are all showing that - it does see that some have renewed the 'price crunch' on the signage and put 82p on display. Hopefully that will work - but it does need to await the update as there's a potential risk of £1 appearing for M on the current data. Nonetheless, I was always okay in that I did have three stores with the correct 82p price so would have picked 82p on a tie:eek: - such a situation could easy have gone the wrong way for us however if they have one more store showing £1 instead of 82p.

There's just those things above to mention really. The Hallowe'en sweet pouches, fwiw, have now gone to 50p. Obviously not the Nat. Confectionery Jelly Snakes that are stubbornly stuck at £1.50:mad: - but Starburst Trick or Treat, Squashies Creepy Blackcurrant & Orange and Rowntree's Randoms. I told you before I never get anything really good:o:o:(:rotfl:. I don't know whether there is a Skittles Darkside this year - I may have caught an implication of that a week or two ago but, if so, ignored it as they were either full price or normal offer price which is no good - if they are in existence, they may be 50p too although I have not got them in my Monday stores. Best try the completely different Wednesday ones then eh?:rotfl::cool: I may get items back, hopefully, and have more information if my stores tomorrow:eek: have it.

The Fairy dishwasher tablets are not £6 on Monday btw, but now £12:eek::(. That being the Platinum Original 30 that I added to my list only last time. I have had trouble finding the other one of these - I now have two completely different number each allegedly at £6 according to the SELs - but the ones currently on my list I am taking to have doubled to £12. The one I've stated above is off; the other one that I have failed to find I reckon are probably off too.

I could do with some that has the Matzo Traditional Crackers (300g) in their M telling me whether they are still 75p. I've ended up with stores that just have the more regular 150g version:(. I think the (seemingly) 'rare' 300g may be with the world foods or some other place in the stores and not with the regular crackers aisle. I have lost the product - and I hold out no hope of having stores with it in on Wednesday, but - you never know:rotfl:. I'll have a look for it but I'm not holding out hope - but, then, I often think I'm not going to find a particular item when I go elsewhere and, to my surprise, a number of separate occasions, I have done.

If the 8 Steak Burgers at £2.97 are still available from the butcher's counter, then I don't currently know that as none of the stores seen on Monday are showing any signage for that - however I suspect, either way, there will still be some 8 pack prepacked versions around at £2.97 somewhere. They don't seem to be in many stores at all though. Means nowt if you have them:rotfl: - but, if you don't, I think this indicates why.

Some of the Hallowe'en themed small chocolate eggs have gone down - again, fwiw - not all of them though but two of them are at 30p each, but the other two are each full price. The 25p RTCs on some of the Dole individual fruit pots appear to have ended but the 35p RTCs appear still to be on - nonetheless I am going by scanning a random one from each price and that's the impression I have been left with. You can ignore the rest of the detail: I'll just say goodbye for now and be working on the list as and when I can - but here is the irrelevant detail (you can stop reading right now as it only confuses the above picture which is entirely clear but here it is): most of my stores have now got 50p across all of those that were 25p RTC last week. I ended up with a store that showed the RTCs - I would say that, indeed, the 25p RTCs are off and the flavours in question gone up to full price - one of them scanned at 50p and the other stores show 50p across all of them now, so I'm concluding they're all 50p each even though I have the store that has 25p RTC across the lot (of which one of them scanned at 50p). The "RTC" SEL store, for me, appears to have the 35p RTC items still left, that weren't present in the other places, and one of those has scanned at the "clearance" price, so I think the 35p:( (lower weight:() ones are still on.

Goodbye for now:wave: - doubt I'll post again until the end of the week as I've got the list to do:rotfl:.

Because I havnt :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

It's an ugly Brown Pelican. DS3 saw them in Mexico when he was there 4 years ago. I'm sure he told us at the time that you see them in California too.

Ugly birds, I'd run a mile if I saw one heading my way, and pee my pants in the process :eek:

Another vote for a brown pelican. I'd love to see one.
TM I have to be honest I thought it was your bird of prey when I saw the first picture :rotfl:

3Dogs sorry to hear about your fall. It's easy going down but a booger to get up again. Since have my knee replaced it's definitely harder to get up as you're not to kneel on it :eek:

I have found that rolling onto my back as far as the sofa or stairs, then onto my side I can with loads of effort get up by shuffling into sitting position then levering myself onto lower stairs sitting then up onto feet. I hope I've described that clear enough so at to help you for now. Quick appointment wished for you at the Fall Clinic. I've never heard of it before.

If I can get up without kneeling I do, as it agony to kneel. I understand completely how you mean from your discription, and that is similar to how I got out of the bath when I fell in Barcelona, pushing myself up with me feet to get my back onto the flat tiles area at end of the bath. My hands/wrists are so week that I cann't push myself up at all, well that plus my current weight :eek:

Thanks everyone for your caring messages. I can get around OK, well as good as I could before this fall , and I can tough my knee now, but not rub it. And I have been doing some decluttering so less things to trip me up

No apology needed Tweets...if I'm honest the last 10 days have been a blur for me too and it's only now that I am realising how ill I have been.
I read your post over the weekend and sensed that both you and Poppy have struggled.Hopefully the fireworks are now dying down so Poppy can be more settled ...and I know that your mums fall would have put an additional strain on you...hence the virtual hug.

I may have also read that lovely mrs 3dogs might also have taken a tumble....please be safe and I hope that all is now ok also x

I'm settling myself in for a couple of days in bed in front of the tv for the elections..it is my guilty pleasure and I've been looking forward to it for many many months(for the record..I'm not American but this election has really gripped me!)

I'm not quite up to a glass of wine yet...but I will let you all know when you can stop drinking for me...hopefully I'll raise a glass by the weekend!!

Me too LEJC, I've been following the elections every move :eek: Loking forward to staying up tomorrow night to see it all unfold

I'm with you on the US election LEJC, it's real train crash tv isn't it :eek:
We were in Denver around election time the year that Obama first won. The friends we were staying with showed us their ballot papers, which were about 2ft long and came with a whole book of instructions, policies, manifestos etc!

Agreed! I met Obama just before he was elected and the day after Clinton dropped out. Proper nice guy.

How's everyone doing? I've been on a hectic 2 week work stint with the rudest people I've ever met! Haven't felt that mentally abused/drained in ages. I ended up going to bed at 7 last night and now I'm wide awake.

I've missed out on a bit by the looks of it. Hope those that are/were ill are recovering nicely, happy birthday to those that I missed and hey y'all :rotfl:

Oh and those going to IDH let me know if you want a Moleskine notebook, seemed to have picked up a few in the last week :whistle:
