You must have a big oven or they are small cakes:rotfl:

Big oven, probably. 2 x 12" and 1 x 10" cakes.

:hello: The Mars Advent Calendar does work against Morrisons:

1x Mars Advent Calendar (111G) £2.00 £1.00

I bought this, against T, as I was in doubt over the Milkybar Calendar as it was showing unavailable on t.com for me, logged out and in. I bet that would have compared perfectly now:(; however I prefer the Mars. :doh:These would of course be way cheaper after Christmas but that rather defeats the point of a countdown - and of course having a calendar helps to ration the chocolates for the other people at my house:D:money::rotfl:. Strangely they don't take more than one a day:rotfl::rotfl:. And they will be staying off them enirely until 1st December:D:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. So, no risk of the product vanishing and being fully consumed seconds after I've bought it:D.

The loose banana has also returned to comparing against M:):

0.14x ASDA Grower's Selection Loose Banana (order by number of bananas or select kg) (PER KG) £0.09 £0.09

And the loose carrots - I can't remember if they were comparing or not - are comparing against M. I ought to have done my shop vs M instead of T:rotfl:.

0.03x ASDA Grower's Selection Loose Carrot (order by number of carrots or select kg) (PER KG) £0.02 £0.01

Same comp. against T (and against S and W). I even managed to get my targetted rival T to appear cheaper:D despite A being in fact more than 10% cheaper. This only works on small quantities. 50p per Kg in A and 60p per Kg in T. I paid more in the first place at A as it should be 1.5p but rounds up to 2p:((:rotfl:) but the APG - T at 30gx 60p = 1.8p - rounds down:). So in effect I get the penny payment, due to 0.5p rounding up instead of down, back and then maybe another penny at the end due to rounding the APG up, but hardly there to write home about. This is just haphazard and not planned - my other carrot (weighed at the scales) compared 3p vs 3p. Not to worry about this being a shop with no glitches and straight useless 10% off:( - I got nearly as much APG, because of T's cheaper prices, as I would have got had I had 10 Heinz Spaghetti Sausages glitch the other day:cool:.

The banana was too small to round up to 10p and then compare against T at 9p:(. (Or too big to round up to 9p and then compare with T at 8p.)

1x Cadbury Hot Chocolate Puddings (2PK) £2.00 £1.00

Against T. And also against M at £1, which does work although there are a number of incorrect £2 SELs about. Probably a minority, and the APG Ms overall return the correct M price (as, indeed, I've generally found from my different sets of Ms, although having the odd £2 here and there).

Hello, hope everyone is OK.

Quite a few weeks since I was around due to Mum's fall.
She came home from the Care Home last week, but wasn't at all well. On Tuesday just got her to bed and was about to leave, when she started screaming my name over and over again, then where am I ? and what's happening to me ? It was so scary, but just tried to reassure her saying she was safe, in bed and I was with her.
Rang 111 and ambulance arrived in about 5 minutes. after an 8 hour wait to get seen in hospital she was admitted, with very low blood pressure dizziness and dehydration (can't get her to eat or drink much)
Investigating problems with her heart etc. She is aware of what happened and says she thought she was spinning in the air and was going to fall on me.

Now back to visiting twice a day, but on Friday got a phone call from hospital. Her bay of 4 patients had been put in isolation as 2 of them have Norovirus. No visiting allowed until they say. so only contact is by phone. So far Mum hasn't got it.

Sorry to ramble, but feeling very stressed!
