mhoc, can't you re-glue it?

I have gorilla glue - possibly still salvageable for the charity shop - good idea.
The charity bag has started to refill itself again ...

Where in Thailand does she live?

What about sending something from the local area. It is also tradition to send small gifts (usually food) to members of her family particularly her parents. Whilst appears a bit weird... but my mantra with girlfriends is 'just remember that one day she maybe the mother on my grandchildren'...... this allows me to be far more patient than I normally would be!

Bladdy hell, that was an easy catch up, only 3 posts since half past ten!

The M list now looks up-to-date to me, but I still have half the new items to add. Note the Batchelor's Cup A Soups - there are a small number where I have a different weight from the SELs instore than is showing on msm. I have omitted them at present - I am being very exact and they have to be the exact same items. The few that are not on the list (other than ones that I have not found in M) are now query items awaiting being resolved - likely after all the rest of the updating has been done and still to check a.com to see if the weights on there are the same as msm has or whether a.com and instore M match up. There is also one where I have a different name in M than what the packaging showing on msm says: again, I have excluded it for now.

I notice I have four Slim A Soups in M but only three of them in A. Does A really have the Slim A Soup Minestrone anywhere and is it a potential alternative trigger to the 5 for £3 offer?*

The Mattessons Fridge Raiders are new but currently due to end in M today - they may well roll over although, if they don't, they should last until sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (if the APG picked their price up correctly on the current collection; I see no reason why it should not).

The two Kiddylicious products - is there a trigger in the 6 for £5 at A? Short of doing 11 of one and 1 of the other version and getting a partial glitch with the mbuy doubtless showing on the first six.

Meanwhile Tvs M now looks up-to-date, but may have further items still to be added.

I am not putting the Haribo 350g packs at £1 onto the list as Poundstretcher allegedly has the Giant Strawbs at 50p. I would not chance my luck with the Apple Turnovers and other bakery items even against M (this on the APG as non-comp. from T of course). I am doubting the information I have even though I have clearly got that from M. There may be different stock in different stores at other prices and online is saying straight £1.50, which bears no resemblance to what I have but, then again, I could be made simply to doubt myself when I ought to have conviction and firmly say it is right, as it then probably will be. I am still doubting using the word "probably":rotfl:. I also had the Penguin 24 bars showing £2 instore although they are (now) showing £3.97 online for M. Fwiw, they could be potential TBG if they have £2 - depends on [Strike]when they went up to £3.97 and[/Strike] when the SELs in the TBG stores started showing the full price or even if they have ever started to show it yet:D - however T has been very slightly cheaper than £2 on this product before. I check on Wednesday, TBG may check on Thursday and the product gone up and SELs showing full price for them on that day (depending on whether/when the price changed to what online now says).

Once again, do have a look through the M list to see what some of the new items are, before I fade them all to normal text again and they disappear silently into the list without anyone noticing really good items.

See you later:wave:.

*Excuses, excuses: I did not look when I just picked up the items I had down on my shopping list to buy earlier in A - I hadn't even found there was one missing for A when I went and shopped earlier and I check carefully what M has, not what A may or may not have at the stage where I already have my items that should be comparable A against M. As ever, there is always a reason behind everything I do (or don't do):rotfl:. I can't do everything! Plus I don't have time and sometimes want to be in and out of A and get the shop done as quickly as possible.
