    TM2 - I quite like that Bubbs, makes me sound like a Star Wars character lol.

    IVe always wished I could bake, I'm a good cook (so I like to think) but just can't bake. i have tried, even got the baking tins and stuff, lots of books but it's always awful. Baking is a talent I reckon!!
    Well saves any confusion:D
    My mum always baked when we were young so grew up with it, suppose it depends if you're parents etc did it.
    I can bake and cook most things but NOT rice, its always a solid lump, so Uncle Ben cooks it for me:rotfl::rotfl:

    Are the new Walkers sharing packs (175g each) £1.50 each or are they on the 2 for £2.00 in A?

    They are all available in M at £1 (I think, I think I finally have all four of them now:rotfl:). However, (:() they are new products so I am not sure how quickly the collectors would pick them up. (I suspect N/A for a few weeks - and bloomin Ocados has them at £1 (sigh).)

    Sorry dont know

    Probably mentioned already, but the Cadbury Choc buttons from HB are also in different packs to Golden Sunrise - they are plain packaged as Appleby & Baker in maroon packaging with a sweet shop image on the front.

    Lango, you seem like you are in the know:rotfl:
    tbh i have messed my account up if i claim a c and c and says you can only claim say 1/2 of it can i claim the other half next month or is it gone?

    From others reporting back, you would lose anything over £100 (I assume someone in this position has tried to reclaim the following month?)..

    Instore apg is different as you can resubmit the receipt next month.

    As long as you have claimed your £100 this month, then you could preload your account up to £100 of sharpies for next month too (buy now while glitching, claim next month). However, remember that as you place a new order, one of the older ones disappears as it only retains the three most recent shops - so you would need to factor in spending your vouchers somehow before they expire then leaving your 2/3 APGs for next month. You also need to leave room for any apg generated by your "normal" shop when you spend your vouchers.

    I suspect they are probably £1.50 straight, although we never know, they might be on the mbuy (long-shot I think? Or maybe not?).
