I second this, it's a great book, but buy with caution.
DS2 got this for his 3rd birthday (October), we had this story every night until easter. Be warned! I still know most of the text and he is 14.5 now!!

lol my whole family know the gruffalo off by heart, we say it going along in the car:o i don't think its at all scary:p we also love the duck in the truck by jez 'someone'. mr men books are far to long, as are the same size thomas ones.


any way.... i've been sat off and on all evening looking through the asda roll backs, and i'm really really surprised how cheap tesco is:eek: its really very annoying:D

Hi someone mentioned about changing times on receipt if it doesn't come back, I have one from the 17/4 still processing.... so say it was 15:10 if I change to 03:10 would that work.... I don't really know why it says still processing all items were DTD items and also on another shop that came back fine... any ideas anyone?

many thanks

I tried this and two that I had 'lost' from the 7th came back this weekend.

You guys make me chuckle, 1 day of most of us not going to Tesco and its so funny to see how this thread turns....its a saga we dont want to miss, who needs the soaps!!

I had to go out at 1pm, no voucher, so went to mothercare/elc instead to stand my ground re the vtech rocket listed on the grabbit board for £6 and I won, I think you lot and doing dtd has made me resilient to any shop now :T

Lets hope the vouchers come in early, Im due 3 now, will be a busy day for us all.

Another book suggestion - anything by Dr Sueuss!

can anybody reccommend any 'nice' bedtime stories for a (nearly) 3 year old? made the mistake of reading a book to my DD tonight before reading it to myself and it was abit upsetting (the animals got eaten by a fox, the end!). my mum had given me a load of my old story books from out of the attic and tbh most of them are abit unpleasant!

Some of those old fairy stories are a bit homicidal aren't they?

Nice stories are:
Owl Babies
The very hungry Caterpillar
Peace at Last
Farmer Duck
The Tiger who came to Tea
Mr Gumpy's Outing

All these are lovely stories and perfectly suited to a 3-yr-old. Brings back memories, remember so well reading them to my own children when they were little, sitting on the bed drinking their cups of warm milk, awwww.

The Dr Seuss books are very good as well, quite lively for bedtime but full of fun. The Cat in the Hat, Horton hears a Who are great but my kids' favourite was Green Eggs and Ham.

had major problems the last few days
student didnt know what to do with the voucher and insisted she needed a manager.... she came and she lied :eek: she said she didnt know what to do with them and told the student that customer services will deal with it. i knew she was fibbing because i was their last week when she was receiving her tutorial from another important looking tesco bloke. Anyway waited for 15 mins as they went to check upstairs with the manager (how many do they have?) he didnt know anything as to why the numbers didnt match............then she called head office after 5 mins for searching for the number, by this time little one is saying "mummy why has that lady took the bread for the ducks away" and "oh silly lady" . Then the final blow...........oh that number doesnt work anymore , oh the other will be closed its bank holiday ect ect ...............i had no choice ,,,,,,i had to give her tescos phone number :rotfl: oh my word, WHAT !!!!
a couple more silly stories to be told like how on the way out i got pinned up against my car and had to run for sanctury in natwest but not to worry.
thanks all for the good work xx

For anyone who's vouchers come back as 'processing' - which browser are you using?

I found that by using IE, using the back arrow and re-submitting it worked after 2 or 3 attempts whereas on Firefox it didn't seem to.

*Note: It doesn't work for everyone but it's worth a try.

I will try and bump this daily as it seems to have helped a few people and the query comes up regularly - and this thread moves SO FAST!


Thanks to the SS people for all your hard work!


(not working at the moment until Tesco get their finger out! but usually works for me on the 2nd or 3rd go)

I knew it - my kids hate that one too, its been recycled now. They liked the rhyming stories so I switched to Hairy Maclary (from Donaldson's Dairy ). :rotfl:

I must get a life instead of hanging around DTD forums and email boxes.

I LOVE the Hairy MacLary books!! Kids love them too Always gone with rhyming books as the wee ones like that. I got my (6 year old) nephew a copy of 'Where's my Cow' by Terry Pratchett - mainly because I'm a HUGE Sir TP fan - and he adores it!! Although I think that might be because the word 'buggrit' comes up a couple of times.............

He loves reading and always wants me to read my books out loud to him, he's been like that since he was wee. I know he doesn't always understand the books (pretty much always TP) but he loves it anyway.
