    I've tried it (adding multiple to a gift card). Asked in store. They went through the motions at the till but it would not work. The problem seems to be these are promotional codes - valid against food, clothes and homeware only.

    ** I also asked, tried and failed in greggs **

    I tried to use more than one code at once. I think I managed £5 + £3 together once but liklely the problem was with what I was trying to buy. I have a feeling that yellow stickered stuff will be a problem, as was the £10 meal deal (with wine).

    M&S referred me to google. My query was passed to the wallet team there but all they could tell me was the codes are confirmed valid - please speak to M&S.

    When some of my codes failed (I had not deleted them) the [self service] till later gave a warning and the code was shown on the screen so I took photos.

    On Friday I used a code and it didn't look very promising but ended up working at the final screen. Bought something for <£3 with a £3 code.

    To make sure I don't lose any codes, and to help with managing what I (and Mrs thepearce) have used I take screenshots, sync them up to google photos and then add them to individual albums per voucher type. Share the album with Mrs thepearce. That way we can both see them when we need to.

    When we use one a viber/whatsapp to each other is a good way to record it. At some point later I add the relevant photos to a "used" album and renove them from the voucher album. Sounds complicated I guess but has made things a lot easier.

    Yes :eek: Is there a quick way of deleting it when used please ?

    Off to a good start 4 draws again :mad:

    I think you popped into my thoughts yesterday. Am I right in thinking you stay near me ? It was when barley sugar suggested a meet up I thought I was going to meet you when I left mcd’s

    Hi there
    Yes I stay in Glasgow. I think we just never got round to it.

    I lost my mojo for glitching so its been a long time since my last glitch....But I have been reading up now and again but anyhow yesterday I was in sada and thought why not give it a go.

    So, 6 Aussie shampoo and 3 B&H sets later here I am... of course I thought i'd messed it up a million times during the 3 hours but all worked out well except for a apg of £20.27!

    Good morning to all regulars, posters, visitors and last but not least, the lurkers.

    Zag.....is it safe to line a cake tin with foil instead of baking paper?

    If you grease it, it should be okay, but why not pop out to the local shop and just buy some, the cost of the ingredients in a fruit cake is not worth messing about with. (Presuming it is a late baked xmas cake.)

    Local shop doesn’t sell it DM. I had it all mixed so no point driving to A:o. I was sure I had some somewhere. :o

    I read up about foil and the dangers of stuff leaching from it using it for baking. So I’ve just greased the tin welland I’ll hope for the best.

    It’s only a tea loaf.

    But a special one.

    With brandy soaked fruit:)

    I’m off outside now to go twigging:)

    To delete from where?

    Rather than delete in google photos I add it to a used album. I then remove the same photo from the voucher album. You could archive, just remove from album, or delete it instead.
