    be careful with checking reciepts.
    I got 2 items yesterday, one bath robe and a ladybird fleece which had a half price tag £10 reduced to £5 . was charged £10 then had to go to customer servive and wait ages for refund. If I had bought loads of items this would probably have gone un-noticed.

    Also the ladybird clothing is not what it used to be, it really is no wonder Wollies is failing. Ladybird was very good quality in the past, now it looks on par with peacocks or market clothes.
    I Can resist everything, except Temptation x:o

    I hear this morning that Theo Paphitis (of Dragons' Den fame) has been one of several holding talks with Woolworths, with the possibility of making a bid, so it may yet continue trading in some form or other.
  • I'm heading out to the Woolies in Northfield today, hoping to pick up some bargains. My boss was saying she'd managed to pick up a Small Fridge for a fiver when it said £20 on the price ticket, she was very pleased. Didn't look too happy when I told her there was a 20% off voucher floating around lol.
    :idea: Determined to sort her finances!

    Oh ok, I stand corrected, just what I'd read on here, and I'd got told to give it to them first. :)
