I just filmed the draw & it was going brilliantly until Fourp drew out number 50 :o:o & then it went down hill as he read a 9 as a 3 (which had already been drawn)


But I think it is alright - number 50 will be the missing 8


Which I found in the bag after


If you watch the film you can clearly see the numbers drawn



Just uploading it...

Oh, that will be right, my number missing, fix!!!

Thank you for the burger offer:

6x ASDA Butcher's Selection 4 Quarter Pounder Beef Burgers (454g) £15.00 £7.50

I know this may be known already, but worth a reminder. I only paid £2.13 each for two of these packs, there was no multi on the receipt (multi for the other 4) but it put them all into the apg at £2.50 each . They are £2.70 each/2 for £5 and the 2 for £5 overrode the yellow label reduced price.

Worth remembering this quirk if you see any reductions that were in a multi.

You bloomin star. I know where there's a shelf full of these reduced

Seaside A for the coven

I'm out the door:D

LIVE

:rotfl: i feel your pain savvy:)

Pain at me not knowing whether I have the actual price or pain at it apparently going up in price? (What's live about (as in "alive") now I'm quoting you - or maybe live as in "live your life" - are you putting another hidden message in your posts?:rotfl:)

Right, looking at things in general for a moment, I was still unsure what the real prices are on a number of items after my third store. I am now starting to get a "semblance pointing towards what the real prices might be" after my fourth (and final for today) store.

I'm putting the Carling Zest Citrus at £6.10 as I have ended up with it in two separate stores and displaying £6.10 in each. I still can't say that that is definitely the real price as both of my stores could be in the same position bringing a full price card in wrongly and putting it over the stock. More so, though, I just didn't want to commit to £6.10 earlier, on seeing just one store, and then turn out to be wrong. The price of £6.10 (assuming it is now that:rotfl:) would itself be a quite good price in normal times. It's just under £1.70 per litre and that's normally quite a good price. However, in the context of it being said to be £3 before, it doesn't look good at all now as it appears to have more than doubled in price so avoid!:(:rotfl:

This looks like it might be like the 5 pack Easter eggs ages ago, before even Easter, when they were available at one of the St Helens' Ms at £1 and then were found at promptly £2 once they appeared to be available in more wider stores. The product could have been caught at the end of a previous RTC, arriving a little sooner than it 'should' have at a small number of Ms, before it came back into M more widely and now at "full price". With the eggs, St Helens was the only place I found them when they were £1 for about two or three days and I had visited 20 other stores immediately before that had no trace. A few days after finding them at £1 in St Helens, the product was suddenly available at nearly every store for me and was now £2:(. I suspect the Citrus Zest, which some people on hotukdeals did find, but we had 6 stores no trace on here, may well now be in many more Ms - I have suddenly found it in half of my stores having had nothing last week - and, at soon as it's now done so, it has gone up in price.

"Appears to have...". I'm in the same position of not knowing what is truth and not as the bizarre reports of what I am told is a Russian journalist earlier reported to be dead but now said to be alive. Frank Gardner said he was reluctant and come and talk about it earlier as he was not in Kiev/Kyiv. He said we were shown something realistic and had no reason to doubt its truth so thought he was dead. Now, we've shown him apparently appearing at a press conference very much alive. However, how can I trust that what appears to be an appearance at a press conference is in fact true and is not itself being staged? How do I know the video of that now to be accurate? And, after all, Frank Gardner hasn't been to Kiev so hasn't seen it with his own eyes first hand - it's all second-hand based, it seems to me, on seeing what appears to be a genuine video of a press conference but how do I even know whether or not it is? By the time it reaches me it's third-hand, or possibly worse, and messages usually get corrupted at each stage. He was reported as having been shot dead earlier but now "appears to be" alive. I do not know that he is and neither do I dispute that he isn't. I am left not knowing anything at all again - I just don't know! - other than what I am told which may be correct or may turn out not to be - or may be incorrect and may never be revealed as being incorrect so, in case of what seems the slim chance of me taking it to be correct but doing so wrongly, I just know whether it is or isn't:rotfl:.

As for the prices in M and what they, largely, "appear to be":D - apart from a tiny number of items actually scanned which may be said to be what their prices actually are, but then again maybe they are just "appear to be" again as I can't rule out my SS machine did not malfunction and display a wrong price or that it might have been one updated, or not, whilst other machines elsewhere may be updated when mine wasn't or may be not updated when mine was - I am left with only a few items about which I am still really "not sure".

What follows next is irrelevant really as it's just what I've ended up with from my stores which are different to other stores and therefore it means nothing - however I am left not knowing whether the Paul Hollywood cake mixes, in particular the Bran & Coconut that I have, are still on RTC or whether they have gone back to full price as I have that one showing full price now (don't know whether it's on incorrect full price SEL as I couldn't scan it in that store and I am now no trace on it everywhere else). I may have an incorrect full price on the Olay Sensitive Night Cream - £2 RTC (allegedly) before but I have £4.44 full price SEL in the one store that has any trace for me and no stock of this version there or elsewhere so I can't scan it. It's been showing £2 online but I can't necessarily count on online being the instore price as online might not have been updated. I am also outstanding on the Heroes/Oreo/Quality Street desserts which I lost several weeks ago but I think I am still keeping one of them on the list as I think I have tomorrow as the longest UB date I had so I am assuming that one continues in existence somewhere until that date.

Getting some items with no SELs in more than one place, which is not ideal, sort of implying the price is the same on the different version and ending up with a SEL for that specific outstanding version only in an OOS store - you know I like things to be explicit and absolutely clear so not good to imply things for me most times as leaves me to some extent, even if a tiny extent, guessing and therefore not absolutely and completely sure - and I like to be 100% sure - "there's no real doubt" as to what they really mean, well, for me, there is a doubt (even if supposedly an "un"real, or "non-"real, doubt) and any doubt at all is a real one that means I'm not completely and fully sure - although I have been able to resolve some of them (I think, unless my SS display is wrong:rotfl::rotfl:) by scanning them eventually.

There's one or two other things that I haven't got but surprisingly I have been able to resolve the Pigs in Blankets that were on RTC supposed to be until yesterday. I am not resolving it in our favour - I have found a "new" version at full price! As it stands at the moment, there will be a further store tomorrow to check for a TBG item outstanding as I believe TBG prices are collected on Thursdays (as their usual second collection of a week). There's a small number of items to check there - I did check one of them last time by going to a store that had the item before but found the item had vanished no trace:(. So, I am due to make another attempt tomorrow with a different store, that should help me see a small outstanding non-online range that I could do with seeing again.

I notice my username with an exclamation mark after it, which I rather like, in the list of team numbers posted on here now.

See you later:wave:.

Happy Birthday mrsmac

:bdaycake: Hope you've had a great day xx


Thank you tweets for grabbing a number for me? Not sure what it's for though :cool:

Just popping in quickly while I'm brush cleaning, allsorts of busy going on this week :eek:

I'm beginning to feel much better but still a little way to go, at least I'm not on antibiotics now, I'm hoping they've done the trick. Leg is still red on shin and veins not 100% pain free.

I hope nobody has been caught by the sun and suffering. I've been trying to avoid it as much as I can but make sure I get my sun ration at some point :rotfl:

So, decorating, dog sitting, a house guest plus planting out is such hard work, good job Mr AJ knows what he's doing

Hope the Elite are as well as can be expected, special hugs to those feeling low in mind and body. You're in my thoughts daily xx

altojack

Off for catch-up, I might be back later if I'm able xx
