My morning has been very thrilling - sorted out Autoaid going via topcashback which have 15% cashback

And then one of the cats pet insurance needed to get quotes for. Topcashback have Tesco pet insurance with £50 cashback for the next few days so if its a job you have been putting off doing, looking at quotes then it might be worth a look.

Neither are showing on my accounts pending list yet ...

Strange one, they must've took the old offer down early on Tuesday, when Lisa spotted it on the womble, change over day glitch yesterday, and new offer today.

I can see the new offer on a .com, but it hasn't fully migrated (I can't see a list of items in the offer) but they do add to basket at 10 for £3.

If it glitches today it will be £1.02 for 10 v T's (apg £1.98) or a profit of +65p v Sains (£3.65 apg for a £3 spend)!

Fingers crossed for your test shop izzey

Arg, that is annoying:( but thanks for testing. At least it saves me from going back out to A. I actually tried to test this earlier but put off any posting as I saw someone had already posted that the new offer is 10 for £3 but the offer was not yet live instore. I saw the items were showing the offer but not yet put into it as 'items in the offer' online throughout today and still the same after lunchtime, but just held back and waited for it to work itself out. Unfortunately it's now already worked into the mbuy getting into the system:mad:.

I saw after midnight initially the Mullers seemed to have gone to full price online. About an hour later they were showing 10 for £3. I had the idea of going out to my store as paying 10 for £3, rather than expensive 8 for £4, with the possibility of full price comp. would be far better. I went to try to buy them overnight and then checking the receipt before 6am before A's own prices would be updated.

They scanned at full price:(. Or at least ten of the mix I happened to pick were not on the mix and match mbuy in my store (I bet they went to 10 for £3 twenty minutes later when I was on my way home:() - not even 8 for £4 mbuy but ten at £6.80 - straight 68p. I then got caught into doing an impromptu, unplanned shop:o - always the worst kind anyone can do!:( I ended up using some of the vouchers I'd printed being tempted into doing a hopeless essentials shop, for items I needed so that it wasn't a wasted journey and getting a few pence in APG back:(. Actually I did rather well as I managed to get back £1.34 - but spent over £6:eek: for that small amount - I was originally going to spend more than that but hoping to get £8 or so back as I was hoping to get 20 Mullers at £6 and then add useless essentials items, but fewer of them, on top. There were almost no wombles around - I found just two receipts and somehow one of them, a very small receipt, gave £1.22 so at least my shopping wasn't as bad as £1.34 back. The other one - a £16 vodka with a load of whoopsies - hoping none of them were comparable against somewhere that had the vodka on offer or at least at £16 (=£1.60) - turned out not to have enough items:(. Must have been some of them store BCs that contain the whoopsie price and aren't recognised on the system.

Having failed at the Muller attempt, with the price going to £6.80 instead of dropping to £3.00 on the first ten, I then thought I will just have to wait until the final day of this new offer (and hope that good competitor offers are around on that date - they might well be, given that A's 10 for £3 may cause somewhere else to match it and all ten would appear so no missing of the competitor's offer if it's the same one). Having tried to shop before the mbuy got into the system (I thought there was an extra chance now as it is still not fully migrated online after lunchtime) but found they were still full price in my store in the early hours:(, they are now 10 for £3 at least in some As but the mbuy is now already in the system:mad:. Just so frustrating!!

It will now have to wait until the final day. Should never have been tempted by the introduction of new offers.

After lunchtime, when the system is expected to have updated, I couldn't see any that didn't show the mbuy, even though there were no items in the offer - although Muller Blueberry seemed to be in 10 for £3 on the search page for "Muller" but still showing 8 for £4 on another page. It seems the items have got into the 10 for £3 on the PG, and clearly at least the ones you bought have.

On the positive side, so far, it is a nice day here and, in what I think will be a window of opportunity of one day before a complete washout tomorrow, I have the washing out. I actually did two washes up to midnight and then put the washing out as I thought it would be rain later on during the day today. Apparently there was rain for five minutes at 1.10am as I went out afterwards (with the washing already up) and found my car had rain on its windscreen:( - a shower that had looked to be heading north away from me suddenly turned south and dumped itself right over my location before scuttling off east. However, with the washing already wet at the start, that doesn't seem to have done anything and, to my surprise, most of it had already dried a couple of hours ago. I even went through a "37% chance of rain" that had suddenly appeared on the forecast this morning for mid-morning but ignored that and there was no rain:T.

I use this live rainfall radar map in order to see if a shower is developing in risk times like this and quickly pull the washing in. In theory anyway as I can't keep watching it every five minutes all day and just left it after it seemed okay. There was apparently a shower over my city at lunchtime, five minutes before I went out and found most of my clothes completely dry. Rewinding the time on the map and looking at it, it looks like there is a large area of rain that came right over me. However, looking at it very closely, there appears to be this gap in the middle of the rain of possibly one mile wide by 200 metres deep, in which there was no rain at all. So, in the five minutes when that significant rainfall (more than the 1am rain) was around me I was in the middle in a small island of no rain:rotfl:. I did very lucky on that one - there should have been no rain overnight but the five minutes after 1am produced some.

I now have a third and final wash out that I did this morning and hoping it will stay dry the rest of daytime. In fact when I went out, it looked like there were nasty clouds, threatening rain, both to the north and south of my garden - possibly the street down the road getting some rain - but nice clouds, or none at all, going over my back garden. Basically I am not bothered as long as it does not rain over my clothes. If it rains as heavily as possible over my front garden but not a drop in the back garden where the clothes line is, I will be very happy:).

And I also have the essentials items bought now, so no need to go out shopping this weekend.
