Wish they would hurry up and put the scores on the site so I can try and claim. Just changed 'my team' to a more popular team in the hope that I get the tenner instead of the tickets.

Oh dear Sue....I was wondering how things were with you:o It sounds like she was hallucinating and that can be just the scariest sensation:o She's been through so much now....well both of you....it's no wonder you are stressed out:

Thinking of you:A

Yes I think you are right about hallucinating. I feel like I am trying to walk through treacle, but have to keep going.

Hopeless:(. After my £6.40 giving over £3 back, someone's £75 shop gives just 91p:mad:! :(It's those £1 yoghurts that seem to have done it, along with mbuys being accounted for that work out no better sometimes than M's straight price for one, and the low APG even though a lot of things are not 10% cheaper, merely price-matched, and not very good prices at that!

It would be a lot better to buy 8 pack Activia yoghurts (although not "Intensely Creamy" - instead Red Fruits version only) against T at the moment, as T is very much lower price than usual on that! No use buying three packs of Bourbons Creams when M's offer is 2 for 70p - and I think Lidl is much cheaper than that anyway.

Whole Cucumber not comparing against M - M 40p - Portion Cucumber is currently 20p in M (I don't know if that works). I do wonder about the Whole Cucumber as those have been missing a SEL at Wrexham on more than one occasion separated by several months in between. Peppers work - but I have had no issue in M on those this week. Surprised that Mixed compares against Salad:rotfl: - has the APG description now changed?:think: - I think the SELs say "Mixed" in some Ms and "Salad" in others. They are comparable but it's sometimes things over individual words that can seemingly cause things to go awry, maybe.

Look after yourself Sue, lots of good healthy food to keep up your energy levels, plenty fresh air and sleep.....if you can get it. I know you have to keep on going but the only way to do that is if you take care of yourself. At least if you aren't visiting the hospital twice a day you can rest up.

it was originally started for just such occasions, people clearing the fridge before going on holiday or students before they went home for summer

I signed up after it was mentioned here but not a lot in my area.
