You *should* do - HO say yes, my local store says no because it's your responsibility on SS to look for overcharges :mad:

Oh no, I hope it gets sorted soon

A very big happy birthday to Snap and VT. I'm sorry that both your days haven't been as lovely as you deserve. You can both celebrate when you/the weather is better

Thanks, not holding my breath:rotfl:

This must be a world record rubbish birthday.
I've been upstairs all day.
He has been downstairs.
No birthday tea

I stupidly & selfishly had high hopes for a nice supper at least.
I can smell the cooking of a fish finger sandwich

I haven't eaten today & will have to go down soon & maybe bring the Maltesers up here

Now that is a happy thought :D

:(:( awwww what a horrible day, sending you a big hug xx

Happy birthday Snap did he not get you a card or a pressie? Vt happy birthday to you too.
Thank you for all the kind comments my diep flap reconstruction has failed and I need a skin graft on Tuesday. Today I finally feel half human again ive got my own pyjamas on and have had 5 of the 7 drains removed so have been on my feet a few times today.
Did marmite count up or is he keeping bus guessing.

I am continuing to update the M list - I have got Monday complete and I am now into Wednesday. Of course I have no wine details as the straight 10% off price in M was no good. I also have no idea which wines are on 3 for 2 in A as this information is not on a.com (or therefore msm) and I have been nowhere near the wine aisles in my A to see which wines they show on offer. So, as usual, I will let everyone else find the glitch items as you always manage to do so but I never do. Disappointingly, many of the RTC baby snacks items in M turned out not to be had by A (at least not on a.com) so were of no use for the APG.

However, it is possible I may have a glitch vs M on kitchen towel although there are no guarantees - I do not know whether this is currently comparing. It was doing so at the beginning of last week although at the end of a price collection and may have moved on since. When it was comparing, it came up too late for me to do anything about it and M's pricing has gone more favourable since so I have waited again before mentioning it now. If the APG still has the M product linked, then this will be good. The 4 pack kitchen rolls in A stopped comparing against M. However, at the beginning of last week, A's shades kitchen towels 2 pack, at £2 each in A, which again have been double-sized, were comparing against a £1.24 product in M and I can tell you the £1.24 product is tiny compared to the one in A! The £1.24 product is now, as of Wednesday in M, 2 for £2 - I was waiting for a short while to try to ensure that we are on Wednesday's price collection (I don't even know that that is the case but I would imagine so by now) and in any event, if it has picked this up on Wednesday, it will last all tomorrow and throughout Monday.

So, it may be (but no guarantee as one person will first need to find out whether M is picked up at all on the current APG) that 2 packs of 2 pack kitchen towel (make sure you pick the right one - there are two A own label packs and afaik it is *not* the decorated one but looks like it was the white one that, about two weeks ago, compared £2 vs £1.24 M) may work out at 90p each, for twice the amount of kitchen towel in A.

The 4 pack at £4 stopped working. They simply wanted us to switch to 2x 2 pack at £2 each. Maybe:rotfl:.

(The 4 pack was £4 vs £2.24 - afaik that is now N/A - but the 2 pack, if it works, would be £4 (in the form of 2x£2) vs £2 - so, if it was still to pick up M, would be slightly better!) I am waffling, so I think I will just go back and continue with the M list:rotfl::rotfl:.

Minus any wines as 'I don't do glitches':rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

If you are compiling a shop vs M at the moment (beyond the wines about which you already know and the above kitchen towel), don't use msm at the moment as it looks like that is out of sync with M prices - the version of msm available to me is, as far as I can see, as it has quite a few items showing full prices for M that have been on offer since at least Wednesday in M and m.com showing the offer prices. I don't know how msm has got full price £1.88 on the Cadbury Crunchy Melts, one at least of which wasn't even picked up on the APG recently, as I have them continually at £1 and m.com has regular price £1 showing today - I have £1 on them from Wednesday instore and I am ignoring what msm says and going by my instore information and what I know (or think:rotfl:) to be correct.

EDIT: I said it wasn't decorated. However, looking at it, that might be wrong as the glitch could work (or also work) on the Decorated Kitchen Towels 2 pack: if they have linked up the sizes on the white the way they have, they may well have done the same with Decorated Kitchen Towel (both A and M have 2 pack Decorated Kitchen Towel) but the one that was on the womble, that compared, was the plain white version. Alternatively, they could have corrected white to N/A now but decorated instead be working (or continuing to work):rotfl:. It'll be whichever one you don't buy!(:() Does anyone want to buy one of each 2 pack and see what happens?:rotfl: At worst, it would seem, it would be getting the kitchen towels for equivalent to same price as M as A is doubled-sized - but could be far better and either will have one comparing £2 vs £1.24 M and the other N/A or it could pick up 2 for £2 mix and match on them (and count as 2 separate items)!

I'm fuming upstairs..

We needed essentials which are heavy things like potatoes, veg, milk etc
I asked Fourp to come with me to Ts to help carry it home..
He said 'No' :eek:
he said I didn't need them just buy 2 carrots ..
So off I trekked through the snow to Ts. Filled my trolley, as loads of reduced food too
Plus Strawberry milk & a big box of Maltesers for my treat
Ts was heaving as Ms shut as fire alarm had gone off.
So I then dragged, yes dragged up hill, as wheels clogged with snow my shopping trolley laden with heavy goods back through the deep snow.. took me an hour when normally its 7 minutes

Arrived home & he immediately opened his mouth to lecture me
So I preempted him & said 'yes I know I'm so stupid buying essential shopping'

:mad::mad:

Oh snap., please come downstairs and fume in front of him...

By the way, no carrots to be had in a 5 mile radius.!
None here either, north west Durham!
