    I don't watch the soaps either but also know who the characters are, which is a bit bizarre. I had to google after reading earlier posts and it does sound like it was in extremely poor taste :(

    I gave over watching British soaps years ago.

    I only watch one soap and that's Australian Home and Away waiting for it to reappear after its break.

    Oooh I used to watch that years ago tweets when Dannii Minogue was in it. I wonder how many of the characters from back then are still in it :think:

    It seems, days later, I can remember, when I see them on my list, most of the items that were off in M on price collection day. This despite the fact that I've been concentrating on other items and not on items that are unchanged. I am, however, confirming with msm (to save me spending ages looking for each one among different pages) that they are on or off just to make sure I am accurate. I am just starting the updating - some of it may be piecemeal however, as I will find other items that have expired when I reach them in my now lots of information. I need to check what conclusion I reached on the women's razors (dealing with different prices on SELs:rotfl:) - here we are: I decided, after six stores(!) (and I did need them all as they were close ties), that Embrace Sensitive was on, Spa Breeze was off and Women Bikini was off. Just need to check msm and... it seems I've somehow reached the correct conclusion on each of them from my Wednesday stores!:cool::rotfl: So, we are motoring:D. Too many stores showing full price on Embrace Sensitive:( and quite a few were still showing £5 offer prices on the other two as of Wednesday when I concluded they were full price. (I cannot have them scanned every time as I am fed up of scanning them!)

    Pimm's Blackberry & Elderflower (1L)£10.00 RTC £7.99:eek: store specific (Frodsham).
    Pimm's Strawberry & Mint (1L)£10.00 RTC £7.50 store specific (Nantwich). £7.99 store specific (Frodsham).
    [...]
    Bacardi Carta Negra Black Rum (70cl)£7.00
    Bacardi Carta Fuego Spiced Rum (70cl)£7.00
    Bacardi Oakheart Spiced Rum (70cl)£10.00

    I think the Pimms may have ended their RTC and now (last Wednesday) be off as I think I had £20 SELs twice for each. I had both in one store showing £20, one of them in another store showing £20 (so I think that one may be off - I have come across £20 more than once) and then the other one in a third store showing £20 (so that suggests indeed they are both off). Sort of three stores although I haven't got each version three times. (I resolved it at that - otherwise I would be carrying every item over into every one of six stores, or more, and the list of outstanding items never coming down!) Of course, any store specific discounts (some bottles may still be found on RTC shelves somewhere) that show RTC labelling I expect will still be honoured. So don't rule out not being able to get these Pimms cheaper somewhere. I don't think you will find them on store-specific at the stores mentioned now though - that stock will have I suspect long gone. I don't think they were there (I have revisited both stores over time) but I wasn't specifically looking for them again so, don't shoot me if they do turn out still to be there! I could of course have three stores showing incorrect full price:rotfl: - but I have reached the conclusion that they probably have gone to £20.

    The Bacardi Cartas I think are off. After months I have now found one of them again. It was £7 RTC before but, instead of £7 SEL, I found a SEL saying £11 RTC and then scanned the product (if indeed I have got one and the same product and not some new version - it seemed to be the correct one though there may have be a livery change) and it was £20!:eek::rotfl::rotfl:

    My view that the RTCs are off does now seem supported as I notice the Bacardi Oakheart is showing £16 on msm, down from £24 - or, alternatively, up from the £10 RTC it was on several months ago. I think this supports the view that all three are no longer on RTC price and I am deleting them from the list. So, just to let you know of a price increase that I think has happened at some point in M on the Bacardis.

    whats money dashboard?
    Someone mentioned it the other day, I can't remember who sorry. You put your bank accounts in it and you can look at your transactions all together and it shows you your 5 spending in a Pie chart:happyhear


    'Twas me (most recently) :).

    The website www.moneydashboard.com can be a good way of analysing your spending - you link in your bank accounts, credit card etc and it then produces graphs and othert analysis.

    It is challenged somewhat by the number of transfers flying between accounts to meet account interest requirements :D, but other than that it can be interesting :).

    From memory, I signed up when it was on one of the cashback sites a while ago.
