APG has SP Grated Cheddar at £2.21 for M.
1x ASDA Smart Price Grated Cheddar (500g) £2.50 £2.21

All my M stores are showing £2.50, probably because that's what it really is. I will add the A item to the list for this time, although I will not know when to delete it. I imagine this is a glitch on this price collection and will change early next week. Now is your chance if you need it: as far as I know, it hasn't been this cheap in M for ages.

Thank you. The annoying thing is they knew we planned to go out the next day, that didn't happen because we were too tired.

We are being walked over, we pick up dgs twice a week and deliver him home too, and ds is having a tattoo done, six hours of work whatever that costs, and has said that if we have any work on a Saturday he could do with the extra money. So he expects us to babysit for free, pick up his son twice a week and deliver him home for free, and yet he expects us to pay him for any work (which he will NOT be getting). He has always been awful with money, he has booked something up soon that is way over the top and he cant afford, asked if he could use my credit card (did not happen but if it had he would never have repaid).

I hadn't realised how much this annoys me before now :eek::eek:

Always good to get if off your chest

DH babysits one child a half day on a Tuesday morning She then goes to nursery and he does the school run then a later nursery pick up He always come home shattered

We have 3 of the 4 here just now One is watching Justin's house two are playing a maths game on the computer and I am having a coffee

I don't like late nights either and have been there with not repaying back but only do it for essentials now Hope your wee comments made you feel better

Take care as you an :A to your family

Two fill ups at sains. 500 nectar points each. Better than nought.
Got daily mail with one fill up. Then when I checked my nectar account today the daily mail offer isnt there. Oh well. Nice paper to read :eek:

5th to 11th February, personalised, 1st 4000 customers per day. Good ploy to get people in and when code has been used for day, probably a lot of muggles will still buy them.

Morning lovely Eliters
I've come out of lurkdom to ask a question.
I know there are specialist threads but I don't jfeel comfortable asking there so as I kinda know you here goes......
My son rents from a friend and the house is to be sold. I have been offered first refusal at a bargain price but have very little income but loads (and I mean shedloads) of equity in my home.
Is there a viable way of buying this little gem and keeping a roof over my DGD1 head, she is only five but is stressing over it ?
P M me if you think of anything but dont want it posted , much love xxx

Messaged you.

Good morning all, a bit grottty out there today.

We are on babysitting duties later on, really not looking forward to it as their sofa is so uncomfortable Also, last time they said they would be back about 22:30 they turned up at 01:00, rather annoyed about that, it was because they knew we wouldn't agree to babysit that late. If they do it again we will not be doing so again.

Tell them how you feel, or they may never know. Better for it all to be out in the open than harbour grudges or feel trodden on.

There's been a change and I probably won't be going to M on Monday. People here told me that they were out of several items in the early hours of this morning. This despite me asking them all week if there was anything they needed:mad:. I certainly wasn't going to prepare a shop with a drop of a hat at the moment they decided to tell me. However I have now got all that we needed from A.

I have added a few items that are N/A against M to the list. I have also deleted one, which was crossed out anyway due to M going from straight 50p to 2 for £1 recently. The 6 pack Wholemeal Baps (rolls) had straight 72p price on them in my M and not clear whether they were still 2 for £1 due to no SEL for that specific product, although everything around them saying 2 for £1. Can you believe several other stores have no Wholemeal Baps? No trace at all elsewhere, in my few stores. Doesn't matter anyway whatever they are in M as they don't even compare on the APG:(:rotfl:.

I had Real Fruit Splits on my shopping as I missed those off last time due to having to buy something more essential. However, I replaced them instore this time with two packs of A's Apple & Blackcurrant Lollies that are at 50p each - better price than SP - and they don't compare against anywhere else, so are a good way of getting you to spend several 50ps more than intended now they are cheap priced packs. I have lost 10p from my APG, due to not having Splits £1 vs £1; however I have two packs of an alternative instead of one.

The SP lollies ought to have been against S last year as it went to clearance (but still has its product online). The offer was supposed to run for several weeks. I waited as they weren't an essential item to get but, by the time I came to do my shop, they had gone no trace on sains.co.uk:(. S's version later turned up in one S that was still lucky to have them, months afterwards, at even cheaper price (obviously not online at all by that stage).

Kettle Bites work against M. On Sweet Chilli Lentil, M is the only place against which it compares. I had to use one of the Oven Baked Fusions packs this time as no Tomato Ketchup in my store. Unfortunately the Oven Baked Fusions don't compare full price against £1 M as they are the item that doesn't appear.

I have added A's 160 Tea Bags to the list although it is technically 1p dearer than 240 tea bags - but I knew I had potentially more to lose against M if I bought those. They used to be good against M but it seems M has gone way expensive price according to online. The 160 pack at £1.40 don't compare although the 1p more expensive is only 'saved' when buying 240 and is slightly less than that for 160. So, hardly anything to worry about and 160 don't cut the APG vs M and W. I hear, from reviews on A's own site:rotfl:, that they are supposed to have changed recently and are now very weak and don't taste nice. Well, they can have what they get, whether they are good or not:p.
