    I've just done as you posted, have I now done what she wants? It doesn't seem like I have done anything really, but if it helps then great. Thanks again Aesop

    yes, your one tweet, can make the world of difference to a trending tweet :) it takes one person following you to see it. They then retweet it, and someone following them retweets it, etc,

    so don't think you haven't done anything to help!

    one more tweet I think please

    boys (18-30) - sign up to the @AnthonyNolan bone marrow donor register. Real LADs help save lives #alicebucketlist

    the important thing for Alice is to increase the number of bone marrow donors.

    Good morning all.
    Just had an awful experience at Mr t!!!
    Went in and lego boxes in cage marked £15 asked shelf lady if these were on sale could I take them. Yes no problem!!!
    bought various other items couple of books, vanish stain remover, dove deodrant etc
    at the ss till the lady was with me and we were having a problem with some clothes with no barcode. Anyway put through coupons and paid. As I walked away looking at my receipt with confusion she asked if I was ok?? My reply was no I've been charged £30 for the lego!! she agreed to refund £15 each box when I challenged about dtd! anyway manager got involved and then refused to sell them as they were old stock and not allowed to be sold as scanning at wrong price and price will change at 3am!! Got full 60 refund and no lego!! :-(
    anyway then challenge that bogof children books did not come off and was told as one was half price. No sign on shelf saying not including half price books and marched manager man round to prove point. Well got refund of book @ £7.49 and bonus as £10 book only scanned for £4. 2 books for £4 thank you Mr t.
    So with coupons conditional spend voucher and 4 items of clothing for £4.
    All in all £56.18 Goods for £11.49. just wished I remembered to use rtd voucher for 11.93 as they would have paid me to take goods.
    Oh well- sorry for long post and rant now over just needed to get it off chest and OH is fast asleep.
    Might just write to cs and put it to them that I was refused the goods!

    Have a good night/morning.

    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.

    CWxx :):):)

    Good morning cw:wave:
    I totally missed that!!! Just quickly went over the posts last night saw your post and couldnt believe what happened to you . Totally not accepectable.

    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


    I don't have a twitter account so I can't help you. But lots of love to Alice and I hope she gets lots of twitter friends.:A:A:A:A:A:A

    Good morning everyone

    Hope everyone has a good day.

    ((hugs)) to those going to Tesco too, seems to me more people than ever are having problems in Tesco, and not just using coupons, but with more nasty staff around than ever before.
