    A hurried mugggle shop this morning but still produced an apg.
    v m
    1x ASDA Diet Indian Tonic Water (1lt) £0.40 £0.44
    1x ASDA Smartprice 15 Eggs (15pk) £1.19 N/A
    1x ASDA Baker's Selection Square Cut Medium Wholemeal Bread (800g) £0.50 £0.50

    1x ASDA Grower's Selection Cucumber (each) £0.55 N/A
    1x Smarties 6 Ice Cream Cones (6x70) £2.00 £1.50
    1x Mitchum Advanced Men 48hr Protection Ice Fresh Anti-Perspirant & Deodorant (200ml) £3.00 £2.00
    Comparison total (compared products only) £9.70 £7.94
    +£1.76

    I just had a look at whether the Oreo/Smarties Ice Cream are on 2 for £3, but they do not appear to be.

    Just to explain, my M list is out-of-date - I have just about managed to turn it to non-bold text - and is stuck on 15th March. I have had too many, shall we say at this belated stage, "distractions" away from the list in the past week and not been motivated to update it (it happens). Eventually I will update it, to the last information I have, which is 22nd March and already part out of date (some offers will remain on though as they are on for three or four weeks), just in order to get it nearer to whatever prices I find whenever I next go out to M which may be sometime in mid-April but is all up in the air at the moment. There was a medium level of change last week, I've put it aside and not even been bothered with it for now but the items that worked only days earlier, such as the Walkers Bugles and Doritos multipack, were already off in M almost immediately. The McCain Shake Shake - I saw a womble with one of those working too but I believe they were already off in M a day later, so most likely won't work now. I will need to delete a few items as well as adding whatever I found last week, but just to say the list is not reliable at the moment.

    And... I'll now probably sign off again almost immediately, as I am doing other things - got other special interests that I am doing at the moment until, at some time, I'll get back to this.

    Whenever I eventually update it to 22nd March, I won't put anything in bold this time but just update it silently as some of it may already be out-of-date.

    Now going to see if there are any wonderful glitches for today SunshineMummy!!! Thank you for the giggle.

    Thanks, I have no time at the moment, so will search for your updates!

    Savvy, thank you for all you do but you do deserve to take a back seat now and again. Sometimes it is necessary for our own good. Don't worry about out of date for now, we understand the pressure you undergo. Just thought I'd say xx

    Evening all! Haven't caught up yet, just hoping someone can help. CS won't let me cash out through Quidco, it keeps saying there's a problem. Is it because I'm trying to claim under a tenner, or is it because I'm trying to claim an Amazon voucher?

    Off to try and tidy up a bit before the MIL visits on Friday, and hoping to catch up on some wedding pics too if I get my jobs done in time before bed :D

    Both times this happened to me, there was a glitch in the adding up of my running balance, which you see if you scroll down when requesting payment. It had reset itself randomly to zero so I could see my correct balance at the top but a lower balance further down the page. I suggest you PM them on twitter with your email address and ask them to take a look at your account for you. Unfortunately, it took them about a week to sort mine out even though I had quickly discovered the issue and told them what it was. I hope you get sorted quickly.

    Shirley...what are you going to do with your One4all giftcards. I was sure someone mentioned on here that they could be spent at Iceland but not according to the website.

    I'm a bit like Seren and would rather use them for something I will buy anyway.

    Thanks, just other things taking my interest/time at the moment, and I just can't get started on the update (now belated anyway) - that's where the "problem" lies sometimes, getting started on something, once I am started, I can't stop!:D:rotfl:

    Thanks for your understanding and patience. At least those other things will get started now, are being done, I suppose I am having a bit of a holiday (even if the destination is... here at home:(:rotfl:).:)

    I've already "plucked up the courage":D to come here to start posting again, who knows, I'll probably be here for two months now:rotfl:.

    we only went Thursday morning, got back Monday afternoon - it has been frantic, Ive not even lurked on MSE, no idea what has happened on the cashback sites but Ive probably missed something spectacular for free, hardly a receipt uploaded on shopprize so I am back to 5 points daily bonus ...
    Just relishing the nothingness which is going on this morning, Oh went into work at 5.30 - all the house clocks were changed yesterday so I don't think it was an alarm error ...

    You survived xxx
