Clicking on the link to the MSE newsletter. That person's receipt shows they have used 14 APGs in the one shop so that is a month and a half's worth of legitimate claims. Does he only spend £40 on shopping once every 6 weeks.

It is not a good idea drawing attention to activities like this, particularly if an impression may be given you are not 100% following the t and cs (10 receipts, £100 limit). Arguably he could have got the vouchers from December and January though, so he is likely playing by the rules like we all do :A.

Oh no...the thread has gone all funny. Just as I was about to have a good moan about the edit button. I better shut up.

Savvy...sorry about your Morries lists......there isn’t even a sad face anywhere

No need to apologise - I was just ready to can everything, put the information I'd got aside and now not bother with it, and that's no hard thing on me as the time that's been spent in M had already been spent and I could get on without bothering with any of the rest. Frees up some time I would otherwise be spending on the list, which it now looks like I will be spending again:rotfl::doh:. I think, with the entire previous thread going down before, and with other things over the last decades elsewhere (systems not working properly, systems at companies I am a customer of never being able to do what I want them to do - this is supposed to be 2018 not 1818) I am never disappointed these things but just expect things not to work and/or go down. The loss of the 'edit' button is the final straw that failed to break any back, as I just expect things like this to happen now so it comes as no surprise as, cynic in me, every change always makes things worse. I didn't even get angry or upset about anything - or about the lack of notice. If the website was offline, I couldn't do my list so I couldn't do my list. Final. That's it - can't do it, full stop, the matter is resolved. It's things left hanging in the air that bother me, over the uncertainty, rather than finalities of not being able to do anything at all:rotfl:. So it was just a question of :huh:, shrug shoulder and immediately move on, that's life, it happens.

I think I will try to remove those emoticons from my M list as it seems they just take up space and are a devil to copy over - I did a dummy run with that, from the back-up I now have after the thread disappeared to this thread and my back-up didn't copy the emoticons over properly so required more to put the list back to what it was - but at least not as much as having to type the whole lot out (which fortunately some caches saved me from having to do last time - otherwise I would never have put the list back at all). With the emoticons and everything else, the lists are now 54:eek: pages long - with "hundreds" of new items still to go - which is longer than the printout I had before so it seems I need to reduce the text size in Google documents later as it's just too much.

So, Google documents it is from here on in (at least I won't be losing it if this thread or something on here gets deleted) and there is planned to be a link posted/reposted at convenient points once the list is updated each week or however many weeks it is between my visits - so it will probably be more convenient to find (once the whole thing eventually gets completed, and once any concerns regarding not leaving my personal details on public display are sorted out).

Yes, the edit is back, I could do it here or I could do it on Google docs. Undecided now:rotfl:.
I've changed my mind - I will go back to updating the list on page 18 here, although it's now a day behind my original plan (which doesn't matter too much as I wasn't able to do a price collection this Wednesday anyway so don't have any time limit to do the list by but it does mean the information takes longer before it is now here).

You can still answer my questions about Google docs though, as reference for the future or in case I later decide to move the lists to there on a different week's collection or so.

Again, I am concentrating on what is now last week's information and will be updating that over the next half week or so with the proviso that anything already expired or noticed to have been changed between now and then obviously I won't put out-of-date information onto the list (although anything already there now may go out of date and will not necessarily be changed until I can next do it properly). So, we are now back in the same situation after the previous check of about three weeks before, when then got updated later and trying to use online in the period immediately before last Wednesday only for lots of things to change again on that day.

It's a rolling process - I will get round to changing items again and trying to keep the list up-to-date.
