    TS, you are instrumental in keeping this madhouse running and you know it ;):D::j



    Love it! If you've never renovated a house then it might seem strange to get excited about the idea of having usable sockets, but at one point I was daydreaming about actually being able to plug in my hairdryer by a mirror :rotfl:

    Should we be looking at merely an "average" price for these?:think: There we are - a price reduction but - revealed by msm - only going back to average. Must have been overpriced at £1 (much more costly than average) in the first place!

    See all (13)

    Price today Same as average

    I'm not having this on the list - I don't want things that are just "average".
    I've been looking at cleaning items too. I've got, on the one hand, some Duck Toilet cleaners at £1.40 in A (M £1) - no 2 for £2 in A anymore? So they're quite expensive in A, on A's price, if so. Again, no saving. Would have liked much much more costly individual price and an mbuy that was no show. I assume they're £1.40 each?
    There's also, separately, M Multi Surface Cleaner - Apple (500ml) at 50p in M. That's not on msm - only shows £1 versions there - so I'll mention it. However, SP/Eday Value Cleaner is at 25p for the same amount (but may be less effective liquid and need diluting?). Avs T on the 500ml SP product - M 50p on their equivalent:eek:.

    My OH is like :eek: at me as every night we get into bed and I say 'tell me what you've done on the house today' I want every detail and he wants to avoid any discussion about the house! Enjoy you plug for the hairdryer.. in my fantasy in the bathrooms there are de-misting mirrors, and built in cupboards with electric sockets in, so I just open a draw, pick the dryer up, use and return to the draw... lol x

    I think the lady on the right has noticed by the look in her eyes. ;)

    I'm on the left with my eyes shut and the tiny shoes. :rotfl:

    Amazingly, I have managed to update the M list (to last Wednesday:wall:) - I thought I was never going to manage it "in time" and would have to cancel Monday off to give myself more time - it looked like there was a lot to update earlier (even though it was only one and a half pages) and I just couldn't get motivated to have the heart to do the list. I think this special interest might be waning - just seemed like such a task:( but it is, somehow, all done now - and by bits at a time in the last couple of days. I spent much of yesterday just listening to music and having a nice lie-in and listening to music and putting off doing the list.

    Just resetting the list each time to update it just takes forever and a day these days. I think it takes me even longer as I have autism and therefore don't do things in a straightforward way:rotfl:. Then the updating takes ages. I'm supposed to be going out to a different set of Ms tomorrow as my own Ms are useless and don't have some ranges at all:rotfl:. I've not even got any clue at the moment as to which stores I'm using and I've got to take the additional items now from the list to check them - again, it will take forever, and then be midnight (even longer by the time I have devised a route plan and map of directions to each M) and then going to sleep and getting back up again with not much in between, so it's just all pressure again as everything is. Perhaps I should have left off until Wednesday to go to the farther-away stores, but then be out all day when Wednesday will probably be glitches again:wall:. It's probably why I needed yesterday off and did about only an hour of the list all day:rotfl:.

    I've been like this throughout the entire of my life - I never used to write assignments or project work until the last possible day!:rotfl: (I think it's what presses me, eventually, to do the task:cool:.)

    See you later!! Wish me much luck again:D:rotfl::wave:.
