Galaxy Golden Eggs (72g)50p RTC Although it says £1.00 and 2 for £1.50 for A on msm, unfortunately I can't see this item on a.com - could be on APG today (3/4) and glitching full price but will be no show tomorrow!

Can anyone see items like Galaxy Golden Eggs 72g on a.com today or any other items in what was A's 2 for £1.50 offer? (I have more than this one from M yesterday - I am just going through items and putting them onto the list.)

Otherwise if there are items on 2 for £1.50 online maybe we should be buying any on cheaper RTC prices instore in even numbers if they compare against somewhere else favourably.

As far as I currently know and I may be wrong as my search cannot be anything but cursory, it looks like the offer is likely to have dropped off a.com and therefore the APG and the items probably dropped off as well now - I have put the item onto buy in M with the price I have that, but not able to check whether any other places on RTC are cheaper and they may be.

In fact, I've just thought we are still on last Wednesday (probably all day today) so :(no hope of picking up 50p M price and also different Ms are very variable about what they will have left now so just depends what they have in collection stores and might not have these.

As usual when post-seasonal items are on RTC price in M, that's the precise time at which they are Unavailable on a.com and either they are glitching on the APG for the blink of a moment that we never catch or have dropped off the APG and stand little or no chance of still being on the system by the time the M RTC prices (probably delayed more by the season itself) get into the system:( (even assuming they have any of the items in the right place in a collection store).

I am therefore ending up just putting all the items onto buy in M (even though I have no knowledge of prices in any competitors so may not even be best bought in M) as the items seem unavailable for comparison from A at the precise moment they go on RTC in M and I'm having to default then to buy in M:mad:.

AP I used two Dine £10s on 2 meals at a Vintage pub today, paid for everything together, they scanned both barcodes on the till which worked fine.

Thank you, worth knowing as I have "a few" of these too .

Afternoon all:D
Well i had a good start to the day , over slept not just by a few mins but hr and half:eek::rotfl: good job hubby wasnt at work and i didnt start till 9:o
Snap good news with fourp, hope they get to the bottom of it , thinking of you x

That would seriously discombobulate me for the entire day :eek:

Sometimes I think that all this faffing around with putting the clocks forwards and back is not good for us and the body just rebels and does what it wants to do.

I don't suppose anyone has come across something like this but in a wood/dark colour?

I have a Virgin box balanced on top of an old CRT TV, sometimes it falls off. This type of set up would be fine as I don't have much room in that area and need drawers too.
Been looking for ages, never see any in second hand furniture shops either.

possibly Heart Foundation furniture warehouses or charity furniture shops or freecycle/freeegle/streetlife - might be worth putting up a wanted advert?

In a Barbie pink????

So definitely an early shop required to be sure then (and never any guarantees).

If you want any then go early, get what you want/need (in multiple shops if required) ... or stay home and don't ask tomorrow if this is still working .

i won't ask :rotfl:

Excellent - once I get the shopping head on again I will be re stocking.

How is the recovering going - you were still at the wobbly stage when I went AWOL

Be quick though only a week left.
I'm still a bit wobbly but so much Bette than I was, thank you. I've been out with my sister today which three weeks ago I couldn't have done so there is improvement.
