    Argh can anyone help me with tesco online!

    I've used it for ages and usually know my way around it. Problem is I started my shop off last night and 'checked out' and have just gone back and finished it off. i've also just found a nice £10 discount code. However when it checks out again, It just says I've checked out and doesn't take me to the window with card details etc. There must be a way to get back to this, what if I needed to change my payment card or something!

    Anyone? lol

    Damn I just read in the FAQ that you cannot add a voucher to an order that has been submitted. I'll cancel the whole lot and start again!

    I'm not very good at succinct. Why say something in 10 words when 100 will do?

    Congratulations on the arrival of Mara Chell, I must have been away for the news!

    Made some yummy ratatouille for the freezer last night, stuffed peppers tonight and the rest in the freezer for chillis etc.

    Hullo...had a lovely weekend in Norwich except hubby forgot to take his employee discount card so our *free* trip was suddenly more expensive than we planned for. A little tightening of belts will be needed now! On the bright side, I've had 5 NSDs in a row and don't see why I can't have at least 4 more. Guests for the bank holiday so may have to buy a few things on Friday but otherwise we're fully stocked.

    Sorry not been updating as I should have been doing, combination of Summer Holidays/kids and having to take both of my cats to the vets, both needed their flu jabs, but Annie became ill the week before the jabs where due. Sadly Annie had liver faliure, she did'nt respond to treatment, so I had to have her put down.
    So far I have spent £289.38 on groceries, but have had to use £100 of the grocery money on Annie's vet bill, so that totals £389.38.


    Bree,, I am so sorry to hear about Annie,, you are in my thoughts

    Ahhh congratulations, and Mara is a lovely name :)
    Long may she be a content baby. DS slept very well from day one, even though breastfed and still loves his sleep at 14 months! He is quite full of beans when awake though (understatement- he is loopy most of the time but Iwould not have him any other way lol).
    Thank you, my other two were BF too. At their worst one of them woke every 1hr 45mins on the dot. :eek: I can't believe that M is so good as she is also BF. She goes a good while between feeds in the day then is a fusspot all evening but that isn't a problem if it means she sleeps at night. DS/DD1 were fusspots all day.
    Nevermind the dog, beware of the kids!

    So annoyed. The veg shop had all sorts of nice stuff and I couldn't get any cash out because the bank's systems were down which means my card was declined and couldn't use it anywhere!! Good job I didn't go and fill up with petrol like I'd planned or I've have been stuck with a declined card :mad:

    So spends today are 85p on milk :(
    Tomorrow will be a busy day as I have to try to get to 3 places in my lunch hour to food shop now - assuming the bank give me my money :rolleyes:
    working on clearing the clutterDo I want the stuff or the space?

    Hi all,

    So far, we have spent £144.23 out of our £150 budget.

    We are away for a week from Wednesday onwards. This will all come out of our Holiday budget.
    But I will still need to do a small shop when we get back. But I am hoping to spend no more then £10.

    I'll be back!!!

    Egon
    I wish Germany had a website like moneysavingexpert!
