There is a tv channel on ship and that is on all day ...not a lot to see when you are at sea though they did alert you when the whales sharks etc were about
but the Jellyfish I saw as we entered Sydney were huge .... but great when you dock in New York San Fransico Sydney New Zealand other ports where people back home could see you and talk to you as if they were there with you

Good evening all, still not managing to get on here often. Hope everyone is well. Munchkin still awake and struggling to get him to sleep before midnight. Some nights I'm asleep before him

Hope no one minds me popping a link on here to my oh brave the shave page. He's shaving his hair off in aid of macmillan in 2 weeks :eek:

Let me know if It breaks any forum rules.

Hugs to anyone in need

M list (such as it is) is now updated - it seems manageable no matter how many changes they throw at me And I had a much larger range of items than I normally have due to the stores I used yesterday. I'm now starting to suspect that Leicester, as well as Wrexham, may be a price collection store. The Crisp N Dry Veg. Oil has been picking up £3.50 for M - I don't know whether it is still picking up that price but it has done so for some time:(. It is still £2 in M. Leicester has the offer price on an aisle end but the SEL on the product in the normal aisle run says £3.50:(:(. I believe the APG uses the normal aisle runs and not the aisle ends. Wrexham also had £3.50 on the product earlier and might still do so. They would only need two further stores with that full price on the SEL to pick up that price.

I've long had a feeling about Wrexham and now I'm also getting that feeling about Leicester (having visited it only recently). I had thought that Coalville, Leicestershire or Kidderminster could be collection stores from my round early in the year, though I am probably totally wrong and it's probably Letchworth, Hertfordshire (a store which I haven't - or not yet - got to). There's just something about Leicester. I think they might use Leicester because it has a wide range of items, including world foods, in order to pick up those items. They could have used Letchworth earlier but decided to change if the range was better (they say they regularly review the range available at stores). I think it's because it's a store in an area with a much more ethnically diverse population and Leicester has that that my normal stores don't.

Leicester has the KA drinks, with the mbuy, that worked and it also has the Laila Broken Basmati Rice that worked earlier (price in M has since gone up). It also has £2.34 on the Boursin - however that may be because it has now gone up in price as all my other Ms yesterday also showed this:rotfl:. It was part of the reason I went there - to get all these items I don't normally see. However it's back to the usual stores tomorrow, so I shall lose them all again:rotfl:. I think I'm missing the Holland's fresh pies - I didn't have stores with those yesterday - and Lockerbie cheese that my main store had last time, not found in the stores used yesterday (although my usual main store had the high price version, as opposed to the cheaper version that I had to travel out to another store, 20 miles away, in order to find that). So I will get other things to add to this week. I'm hoping for a fairly quick collection, with few changes, tomorrow as I could certainly do with one! Especially with the items now, that three stores used to have for me before, but I now have to use four of my nearby stores to get the range that I need to see.

Particularly as the John Smith's Golden Ale will show mbuy pricing in my main store again tomorrow:( so won't have the correct price (if you look carefully, it doesn't even have an individual price and the individual prices the SEL has are not those for JS Ale) - but obviously it's not just that as I could just take it to the till. I have it at two of my normal stores at the moment so obviously also use the second. That product has been disappearing for me from many stores (but obviously not "many" in the context of M having over 500 stores:rotfl:) and become difficult for me to find (in fact I've lost it occasionally but assumed(:eek::rotfl:) that it was still £1). I managed to find a single store (out of five) yesterday that had the JS Ale - with no SEL:rotfl:. Scanned though - I thought I would never see the product again that day, and I was right - and it was £1 again in M yesterday. The Iron Maiden ale, however, that was £1 a short time ago, apparently went up to full price and mbuy for a few days but then returned to £1 last Wednesday was now, I was told, back at £1.65 again:(. So, it's on, off, on, off again...!:mad::rotfl:

I don't think I found Mango Chutney Dip (70g) in Leicester and other dips there - not available from A - had no mbuy showing. Mango Chutney N/A on the APG as far as I've known. There was some Ricotta Cheese - that failed to pick up M several months ago - but now OOS in Leicester (but then that could have been an issue over the word "Italian" in the A product earlier). I don't know - I just have this feeling about this store after visiting it last time.

That's it from me for now - I'll see what I'm sorting out for tomorrow. I have read your post earlier Sal and I've had a think about it.

Bye:wave:!:A

I've found a code that works with the Tresemme glitch and takes off another 10%!! :j

Works on Boots essentials mousse and hairspray too which glitches in the same way the Tresemme does. Basket has to be £20 before the code comes off.

Btw the code was on the Tresemme landing page under promotions down the left hand side.

Freebird, I am a little thick and cannot find the code... can you give me an idiots guide please x
