An end is in sight:) - the M list is now updated from last Wednesday's information but I have yet to update completely the information from before then, mainly additional seasonal items, that never got completed before Wednesday's collection day. I probably have - condensed, since I've done parts of each page - four sides of paper to do. That's less than I've had before on a one-day update from a Monday to do on Tuesday to be ready to check the following day. Some of it is higher prices on items I have already seen since at cheaper prices - that have obviously gone down further on RTC, so I can just cross those items off from earlier when I come across them.

I'm doing well though - I had Gold Ribbon Cop pack at 50p on the list but have just changed that to 25p that I got on New Year's Eve Saturday (I've no idea where I got that from - I can't even remember where I visited last Saturday now:rotfl:) - I notice that I got a price of 50p (probably incorrect?) on the same day on a Red Ribbon Cop but had already changed that to 25p from somewhere else since:rotfl:. So the Gold one, left at 50p until now, I did get earlier at 25p and the Red one that was 50p on my list until yesterday, I must have found somewhere on Wednesday that changed it to 25p for me. In short, I'm circling around the correct prices even though I am getting to some of them rather late.

I shall continue updating the list from New Year's Eve later today:rotfl:. I'll keep on prices that are cheaper, have obviously gone down further than what I had earlier (as I'm working backwards), but if I find anything cheaper than what I currently have, I will be able put those prices to what I believe they are (as at the last information I have). And of course - there are still additional items to add!:eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl: They are mainly seasonal item RTCs - including numerous different gift tags that I seem to be cataloguing(:rotfl:) - and of course someone can tell me what I am missing after I've finished can't you?:rotfl:

The list will be completed at some point during... today:eek:. See you later:wave: (finished by mid/late-evening maybe?). I am sorry for the delay - there's nothing really extra to mention (I've already posted, nearly a week ago, about some of the items I am yet to add to the list) - it seems a lot of it is different versions of products and - oh - there's one, I can just cross that out as got that on another day I've already updated:T - some of it duplicates (that at least helps as a second check on the accuracy of the information).

I know that if I were still living with my parents it would be one of them asking me "When do you ever give up?". The answer is "I never do.":D:rotfl: It's maybe not often understood but that's what happens with an obsession that you actually like doing - you never get fed up of it (at least not for the duration of the obsession). It's an abnormally strong interest - and, to some extent, abnormal isn't always bad. (And I've been further delayed by having to take four hours out on Friday to deal with RL things (it takes as long as it takes:)) that meant I couldn't get to the list:cool: and had some time on Saturday morning taken away as well, sorting other things out.)

Bye for now:wave:.

Morning paw sniffers:D

Well since my all singing, all dancing Phillips iron blew up on me and the " university" iron has proved to be useless, I need to search and buy a new iron today........and I hate buying electricals.

Argos has 124 to choose from and John Lewis 68:eek:

An exact replacement for the iron i blew up is far too expensive so I'm at the drawing board stage:o
I'm weighing up prices, promotions, price match and loyalty points but to research it fully will take hours:o.......not what I want to do on a Sunday morning:o

Bleugh bleurgh bleurgh and more bleurgh:rotfl::rotfl:

Might just go to Sains later and buy anything I see around the £40 mark:rotfl:

Anyone got the kettle on yet?:D

If I hadn't taken part in glitches and deals, I would not have a stash. If I didn't have a stash, Mrs Anon would not have suggested storage solutions ... which have just cost me good money :huh:. So I got the items free/cheap and now have had to pay to store them - I would have been better off not getting them at all .

I must think this through before chasing any more glitches!

Morning All!

We too have just paid real money to buy proper storage solutions for Xmas decorations! :eek:

It felt good seeing all those mis matched sweetly tins going into the recycling. Now everything is colour coded and accessible. :j

Wish I could say the same for the rest of the house!

I think they are trying to make amends Rose. At some of the food banks in the North East....when someone applies for a food parcel, they are giving out grants up to the value of £49...... a credit which can be applied to whichever utility company you are with.:T

This is on top of the Warm Homes Discount scheme of £140 that most energy companies are participating in.
