    Brilliant - love the mouse steps

    I suppose you would put a dark stain on the step bit and then white paint on the riser - I could manage this myself, not sure what paint to use though

    also if you cut out a mouse, cat and mousehole stencil - using that thin plastic paper you can get in craft places ...


    Our stairs are n t even proper wood though :(

    Avs W - maybe if the Toblerone price ever changes and then wait a clear day to hope it's picked up.

    Or buy in M, maybe, at £1 and 15p of More points if you want to tie the 15p up with them for however many years it now takes you to collect £5 with no match points anymore available.

    https://groceries.morrisons.com/webshop/product/Wagg-Complete-Kennel-with-Chicken--Veg/211158011?from=search&tags=%7C105651&param=wagg+1kg&parentContainer=SEARCHwagg+1kg_SHELFVIEW

    :rotfl: 2500 points? Seems to suggest it's £1 with £2.50 More points back - this does seem to be an error but I doubt it will come off.

    Nonetheless, it does say "Earn 2500 More points is available..." which, if it is not, would appear to be a breach of advertising standards rules. Fwiw.

    Fox's Frozen Enchantment Bars (8x21g)75p RTC:eek: 59p store specific price (so the general RTC is too expensive:rotfl:).
    Nestle Princessa Coconut Wafer Bar (37g)33p
    Nestle Princessa Hazelnut Wafer Bar (37g)33p Maybe M also has Milk Chocolate version available somewhere. Perhaps your store that doesn't have these other two:rotfl:.

    There were lots of Star Wars Empire Bars packs on store-specific reduction in M Eastwood, Nottinghamshire at 19p on Saturday. I've just been having a look whether I have any similar products at 75p price on my list - it's terribly confusing these days as I can't tell what I've got and not got as it's so long - but, there we are, it is the Fox's Frozen bars on 75p RTC:eek:. I think the price of 59p(:eek::rotfl:) for those was at Mansfield around mid-week.

    And I may now conveniently mention the Nestle Princessa bars. Indeed, M does have Milk Chocolate version. I've finally found it:j, after numerous stores with nothing and several stores with either only Coconut version or just Coconut and Hazelnut. It seems that, although the SELs have some weights on them, which I have used on the list, the actual products are different weights. The Coconut version is actually 36g although the SELs I've seen say 37g. I think the Milk Chocolate version says 33g although it turns out to be 37g:) - unless there are different pack sizes knocking around. I haven't got the precise details immediately to hand, as they are in the information for another store to the one I'm currently going through, so I will reach that later. The actual stock in the different stores was the same though - in other words I've not found some Coconut at one weight and other Coconut at another weight for example.

    The individual Poppets that I mentioned earlier (that are on 40p in S and 3 for £1 in M) - the Toffee ones actually turn out to be 39g in M (I do not know what they are in S) although msm has 41g. For the record, the Mint version I've found is 40g.

    I found one store that had all three versions of the Princessa bar. There is indeed at least one store that only has the Milk Chocolate:rotfl:. (So, yes, I put Coconut and Hazelnut onto the list, when your store doesn't have either of them but instead has Milk Chocolate that I don't put onto the list! Due to me checking other stores that, amongst them, only have the other two. Many of you will have none of the three and therefore won't have a clue what I'm going on about:rotfl:. All these "strange" products, for you, on the list - or you may have only some (not all) of these bars but only in one of your several Ms.) I will add the missing item to the list (I don't think they make any other flavours but maybe they do and has anyone got any that I haven't got?:think:). I will alter the weights to the actual weights, once I find them - I think/hope that they are also 33p even where the SEL has a different weight on it.

    I think it's more likely to be a case of usual neurotypical inaccuracy - or simply a typographical error of writing 33g when they actually mean 37g. Such a slip is easy to make and people tend not to be as pedantic as me now noticing the difference between what is printed on the SEL and the actual weights on stock - I tend to think they are totally different products therefore:rotfl: and that 33p isn't the price for the physical stock if the SEL says something different and therefore only covers a different product that I don't have physically present (and possibly doesn't even exist:rotfl:). Nonetheless this can be found - for example I see offer price labels covering the 138g(?) Cadbury's Fingers more to share packs on £1, when there is also stock of the previous, smaller version (but no SEL specific to that) on much better 25p! So, sometimes if there's a different weight than the SEL, it could be the product has changed weight and the old weight, the one not mentioned, is in fact on much much better RTC price. So, watch out for SELs that don't include the weight of the actual stock - or some of it - as it could turn out that the different weight product, which technically does not have a SEL for it, is, yet again, a very good item - it's the products without SELs that tend to be the ones to go for!

    Indeed, you may now see, in some stores (though some have 50p offer SELs only for the previous weight but the new stock which will be 89p:( is there), the Santa Maria fajita seasoning and may have 28g on the SELs and price of 89p but, if you have some stock of 30g, that will be the 50p offer price (supposed to be on, whilst stocks last, until, 24th July).

    It's not that I don't make typing errors but, I think, I tend to make fewer of them or to notice when I have made them and to correct them so that I'm self-correcting.

    Mornig All,

    Thanks for the info above.
    I've already purchased the official lay z spa mat for it to go on, £30 :eek: from homebase.
    The spa is going to go under our kitchen window as that is where we are feeding the new socket from. I might be able fix a hose to the mixer tap and fill it from there or failing that fill a bucket and chuck it through the window.
    We are on a water meter so it could be quite expensive for us to run (but looking forward to using it).

    If you try to limit the amount of make-up/suncream people have on before they get in, the water will last loads longer than that so long as you keep plenty of chlorine in it, and run the filter for a few hours every day.
