Yes thanks bubbs are you? It was the baby shower on Sunday and we also got a new to us car at the weekend so it's been busy, plus this bloody working lark isn't suiting me as well as it used to :rotfl:

Good morning all, blue sky out there and I can see the sun trying to peek over a neighbour's roof

As for the fridge, I keep the eggs in the egg rack and the milk in the door. I have never had a problem with either with a properly running fridge.

Another thing I was taught with eggs is always to crack them separately, and I still do. I had a friend who was happily cracking eggs into the mixing bowl, I told her I always cracked them into a cup one by one in case there was a bad one. She carried on cracking them (needed about 6) and they were fine. The next time she cracked eggs though she remembered what I said and cracked them into a cup one by one, the last one was a bad one and she would have had to throw away the lot if she had forgotten

Morning all. A London day yesterday and the train was delayed 29 minutes last night. Might just see if they will pay out anyway. I've caught up now. There's a certain excitement about missing a day and wondering if those unread pages hide a glitch!!

Good morning all

I am hoping for a less challenging day at work so that I can tidy up

I have a cleaner who is sub contracted? She does not feel any need to work to her employer's guideline as she knows better about times , rota's etc and I am harassing her by expecting her to work to contracted hours :eek::eek:

Enjoy whatever you do

I think we've all come across those

Hornetgirl, thinking of you xx

Off to pay my respects at a neighbours funeral this morning. He sadly passed away in the new year....There must have been a backlog of people at the pearly gates as he passed away at the beginning of January. It doesn't matter what we do...There is always a flipping queue.....:rotfl::rotfl:

Catcha laters good peeps......:wave::wave:

Tea is in the pot....I bought a coffee pot to for those that prefer it....:coffee::coffee:..Mugs are on the worktop...Don't worry about the washing up I will do that when I get home....But, Please don't leave crumbs about the place...;):wave:

Not so. Or, not necessarily. I had these (McCoy's Classic Crisps) on a womble last week where they and some French Fries appeared on the comp. at full price £1.45 each. McCoy's were an OOS glitch. However, I tried them myself the following day - I didn't post - but, unfortunately, the McCoy's Classic appeared to have refreshed as they appeared on the comp. picking up the mbuy (£1.00 A) with the French Fries:(. (In fact the resultant APG on the shop was so low it wasn't even worth printing. So, full 2 for £2 price to A:p.)

I'm not bothering doing the M list at the moment and I haven't been to M today. I think I'm just having some time off from it. The next time I go to M for this will probably be 22nd February. And then I may leave it off and no go again until 13th and/or 15th March. I'll eventually update to last Wednesday's prices, so bringing it more up-to-date than what it currently is although some of it will be out of date and thus need checking msm/m.com to see that prices haven't changed since (where they are even showing on there). I assume it's already common knowledge that Shredded Wheat Honey Nut (500g) has been and is (until 21st February according to msm) £1 in M, therefore Avs M. Bitesize Shredded Wheat (500g) is also £1 in M, however do *not* buy that in A (£2.49) as it extremely likely does not appear on the comp. at all as it appears it is not on a.com. I can't say as the shop was not done today but it did not appear at all a week ago.

Strange things as the McCoy's did not seem to be on a.com, at least not when signed out; however they picked up the mbuy by the day I bought them.

So, the best price per unit on the Bitesize Shredded Wheat should be Avs T at £1.59, as Avs M £1 most probably indeed does not work (works out more expensive for a 500g pack in A than buying 750g in T outright - £2.49 500g A; £1.59 750g T) and straight £1 in M is more expensive per unit than 10% off T's price.

The McCoy's may drop off, however leaving £1.45 vs 75p on French Fries (assuming T is still on offer then) is not really good as it misses out £1.45 vs £1.00 for the McCoy's that was much better on the date of the womble last week. I think it's hardly worth it at invisible trigger (if/when that happens) - total cost after APG £1.225 - uh, I don't know, just over 60p each may be alright:think: - but the womble price (not available now) was about 34p each. However, I have my two packs now at £1 each:rotfl::(. I'm glad I only tried one shop and didn't buy any more of them.

I wish I had only bought 2 - as I reported back I bought 8 and they all appeared :eek:. They are the most expensive crisps I have bought in a very long time .

They weren't and still aren't appearing on A, where I am, logged in or out, so perhaps they are on A in some other part of the UK where the apg is taking its A prices from? Or perhaps they have changed the system?

I also tried Classic and Steak and only Classic appeared on the apg - but there are no guarantees how the apg will behave as neither are on A.

Good to hear you are giving yourself a well earned break from price collecting - I don't know if I am imagining it, but the supermarkets seem to be stabilising the prices a little more rather than yoyoing between various made up full price and offer prices at the moment (unless we are just in a price establishment phase due to them getting into trouble with the regulators).
