Grrr, ITV catchup on the Nowtv box only has the last episode of Benidorm on, yet on the computer, it has the last 3. CBA to watch it on the computer.

Edit: Google is your friend, worked out how to get different episodes now of things on ITV. Stupid design!

It gave a little squawk and flew away when she dropped it, so hopefully it survived. She looks like butter wouldn't melt but she's a little devil when it comes to catching things.

I actually hate my kitchen and would be glad if it was changed. The floor however is Amtico and it was very expensive. I said to OH today if they dont replace it I will either get a company in to give it a deep clean and polish or replace it.
The 2nd bedroom which is not damaged at all will be used as a storage room for when we empty all the other rooms although I am not sure where the settee etc will go. That room is going to be OH's room and the carpet in there is knackered but the walls only really need a bit of sanding and a couple of coats of paint to make it look good. OH says hes not bothered about the carpet but we will see what the rest looks like when its finished. My only other concern it the hall stairs landing and lounge is all the same carpet but I dont think the stair carpet got wet?

With some persuasion you may be able to get the stair carpet under matching items. It often depends on whether there is a "visible break" such as gripper bars at doorways or even if you can see the carpet through glazed internal doors. Again, talk to your loss adjuster. They are used to this kind of situation.

We frequently used to have what we termed the "bouncing paint pot" claims where a dropped tin of paint on the landing managed, apparently, to have damaged carpet to the landing, stairs, hall, kitchen and lounge. Often cleverly around doors but avoiding any furniture. Also the "clumsy cat" claims when paint was similarly walked throughout the house by said feline (presumably whilst carrying paint pot so paws would never run dry.). Not that working in insurance made me cynical you understand.

She's not overly keen on it - we took it off straight after taking the photo. She doesn't even like wearing a collar sadly.

Yes, I thought so - M do have more than the Tangy Cheese than I have got on my list and is the only one showing for M on msm. I bet they have got Cool Original 6x30g as well. I'm sorry, I was half-hearted on my Doritos multipacks last time - I didn't make much of an attempt to find them.

I did find all of the 180g packs (which are a different pack size) - think that's been downsized from 200g to 180g?:think::rotfl: The 180g packs have only made to the list because only one of them is on msm so, to let you know there are more, I have put them onto the list and then included the one that is on msm as well. It's the same situation with what I've found on the Ko Lee Noodles - only really on the list because they are not all on msm.

I'll add the Chilli Heatwave 6 pack to the list - I suspect there is Cool Original missing. I did find the 180g packs easier to find last time, just depends what you have in your Ms I suspect. I was tracking Tangy Cheese 6x30g as one of the 6 packs (they are separate products despite identical total weight) as I had that the previous time, so that was an outstanding whilst I hadn't identified the others last time. The Walker's Crinkles don't seem around that much either - I ended up with one store with an incomplete range but, from that, I've taken them all as being still £1. And I suspect that will continue tomorrow (which is price collection day).

On the Cow & Gate jars, which are something you have not mentioned but they have to some extent failed on the APG, I noticed that I had more than msm in some respects but others of the jars in other ranges were missing for me and I added some from msm. I note that I am aware, from a womble, that at least three failed to pick up M at the weekend (resulting in full price M for me as the shopper bought fewer than 10 that compared:(, but, on the shop, it would not have made a difference even if the M mbuy had rightfully been picked up). I can see this was, to some extent, probably predictable (though not with which exact jars) as I had incomplete ranges of baby food jars at some of my stores when I originally picked them up. In some stores, several were absent, the stores didn't have much of a range at all (just three Heinz jars for example when M has at least six), and although I didn't check every store I visited for them, I can see how that might leave collectors, even adding up the results from a number of stores, still short of some of them. So, it is difficult getting complete ranges sometimes even from using several stores. In fact - remember my problem with those wines sometime?:rotfl: I had three of a certain wine, and the same three at every store I visited that had any of them - half my six stores, and same three in each of the three - after those stores, I could have given up at store 4 with the same situation but with more doubt as to whether further flavours existed, I concluded that, six stores, the same three in places where I had any, it was less likely that another existed though I didn't rule it out. And then I found a different one, that I didn't have, on msm:rotfl:. So, yes, even six stores, and just getting the same three each time I had them, yet there was another one elsewhere.
