    I kept picking the soap up bubbs and feeling the wrapping paper and it doesn't seem rough. I did think that maybe it's meant to be 'shabby chic' :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Hope you are ok?

    Just had a squiz at the wrapping paper on the Orla Kiely website....it doesn't look 'shabby chic' on there :p

    I think the Orla K stuff is perhaps returns from stores. After Christmas there was a small glitch and I bought Orla K stuff then and it was exactly the same, dirty, grubby packaging and looked like it had been kicked around. I can't collect mine until tomorrow so will be interesting to see what shape it is in.



    Have rang, be prepared to be on hold for ages.
    No luck whatsoever, just told to return to store for a refund or replacement.


    Just call it bad luck.

    :hello:Not got much time to say much today - the M list will be updated by "the close of play". (At the moment it has the carryovers, plus a few more that is increasing as I update, plus clogged up by all the items that probably no-one now has:rotfl:.)

    A2 1L milk is £1 in M but uselessly price-matched on T's price anyway. M also have Ainsley Harriott Aromatic Thai Style Chicken & Lemongrass Soup (3 per pack - 69g) at 50p RTC, fwiw - but not available in A. So, none of those items getting to the list.

    I missed the Aromatic Thai version last week as it wasn't in a store I checked:rotfl:. But I can pretend it's fine as only the others are available in A so they were 'rightly' on the list. Except it's expensive 50p and Batchelor's Cup-A-Soups are 50p in M but needing to be tied in with a glitch, so, until that happens, none of them should be on the list at all:rotfl:.

    I'm not even going to attempt to mention what has changed and has not - but just put what I've got onto the list (the expired items in M should already now be crossed off from Avs M, if I haven't missed any, and they should now be entirely deleted from 'buy in M' - for example Ayumi Naturals Plus Glycerine (150ml) seems to have gone from £2 to £3.53:eek::rotfl:. So, it's disappeared from the list completely. So - there - I ended up mentioning one that has changed:doh:).

    These are, as far as I know, 85p in M so buy two in T on a TBG shop against M and they'll probably miss them:rotfl:. However, don't try this at home - or in the supermarket;).
