Not having a good day.

Missed the spam again.

Got trouted in Tesco.
Wanted to use a £4 Sainsburys till spit (£40 spend)
Got a few things I needed and 12 Dove Deoderants and 6 of the Ariel.

Went to a till where I recognised the sa as one I used last week without problem. When I was in the queue serving a woman, a supervisor came over and whispered something to him and he answered yes.

Came to my turn and he started scanning and the Head supervisor came over, he is a real pig of a man. He would only let the sa scan 1 of the dove and 1 of the ariel coupons.

This is the same supervisor who wouldn't let me buy the handwash a few weeks ago when it was on bogof. I had 12 bottles on bogof and he said I can only have 3 of them.

Even though I argued he took them off me. I told him I buy things like this for shoe boxes appeals, but he said that you can only buy 3 of anything at a time.

Will now have to email head office and complain.

Sorry to hear you had a really bad expirience at sainsbob . There no such policy that only 2 coupons can be used per transaction . Hope youve written to them and told them that this supervisor is bullying you!

Thank you. Just tried and there are no reps in my area. Guess I will just have to pay P&P Thanks for the link though.

Hi S&D, hope you've not paid p&p yet, there's an Avon thread on here somewhere that posts codes, you can sometimes get free delivery. Will have a look for it but busy catching up on all the threads!

Finally back home, hello to everyone :wave: hope you are all ok, will be back to posting more now at home!

Hi Mcgeiz
sorry, but it was in tesco I was trouted.

Its this particular supervisor who I had a run in with at Tesco not too long ago. He must have spotted me in the queue and thought to himself, "I'll get her" and he is a big bloke but came rushing up and waited next to the sa until he finished serving the woman in front of me. He stood watching until it came time to pay. Awkward so and so. I will compose a lovely email to the new ceo over the weekend.

The Sainsburys near me are actually quite good I have to say, but thanks for your support. Much appreciated.

You just get to sit down and a free bottle of flavoured water or something plus a couple of other bits of carp if your lucky. We just conned our way into the lounge last time, but thankfully we have a couple of tickets this time.

I don't know if you saw my post before about the Olive/Good Food mag stands I.m.hart, but they offer some good freebies for subscribing to the mag on the day of the show. We always subscribe, but then we get home and find out that we are too poor to pay for it each month so cancel the subscription;)

And if you subscribe on the day then you also get a pass to the subscribers lounge - I have my friend looking sad next to me and ask nicely if we can have an extra ticket so that we don't get split up!

Evening all :wave: Finally showing my face for a good bit of drivel

I'm going to see Take That tomorrow Bought some of the £10 tickets but they are allocated on a first come first serve basis so I need to go to the ground at 12 noon to collect them. Crossing my fingers that most people will either be at work or already have their tickets. Not looking forward to a major queue with a baby :cool:


I went on Wednesday cpoir and they were awesome! It was pouring down (luckily we were under cover) but people didn't seem to mind and the atmosphere was amazing. The 'lads' got wet as well, but carried on as though it was a huge party. I was well impressed with the stadium and the big black clouds, along with the lights from the show just added to the whole scene. Brilliant!

PS Take your own waterproof poncho! They were selling them outside the stadium at £3 each or 2 for £5. I got mine from one of the supermarkets last year for 50p!

Hey all, My OH cousins 15 year old daughter has terminal cancer. Her Name is Alice Pyne and she has a blog here http://alicepyne.blogspot.com/2011/06/hello_06.html?spref=tw.
She has wrote a bucket list and one of them is be a Twitter Trend. I am asking for anybody who has a twitter account to help this come true all you have to do is add #alicesbucketlist to your tweet. Many celebrities have joined in with this including Davina McCall, Philip Scophfield, Freddy Flintoff and many more.

Thank you

Hi munchkinz

she has done so well with her bucket list in 4 days! She has got most of her bucket list achieved, read earlier she is going to Take That this weekend.

I thought she was already trending on twitter? She went viral within one day, and her sister's race for life has raised so much money :T

It is great what she has done, raised so much awareness of bone marrow donation and they are even discussing it in parliament! :T
