    Any londoners, I'm saying in Covent garden in a few
    Weeks and wondered if there's any good t's within walking distance (that's about 10 miles round trip, would be more but I'll have dd2 in a backpack, she's only one but she weighs a ton and a half!)

    just input the WC2E9 post code into store locator and you'll get lots of results ;) I could see at least 4 Metros very close by? I wouldn't bother with Expresses unless there is a glitch... Didn't check any of them personally though...
    Then decided to try a new tactic and picked up about 8 of the same random item (a blue shirt??!! )and shoved them in my trolley... walked away, and i swear, ther must have been about 3 SA and 2 security rush up to the rest of the shirts that i picked up, grabbed them all and scurry to the Checkouts!! ha ha ha!!!

    i then when calmly and put them back where i found them..... hid some socks at the back of the rails that were scanning at 4p - think this is a new sock variety.. will return tomorrow to get them when the shifts have changed and post details..

    Also found a new 4p item -
    BOYS BLUE BUG CAGGOULE/ RAIN MAC - hard to explain,... and spell, so heres a link to one very similar on Ts website..

    Only difference is, the pictures at the bottom is not of aliens..its of little bugs etc.. very cute!!

    didnt get my cake in the end either.... didnt fancy one when i was there.. had a random craving for pickled onions...... now i have them, i dont want them either.... lol:rotfl:

    no wonder you don't manage to keep a low profile! :eek:

  • ha ha.. i wouldnt usually.. but thought .. oh what the hell.. in for a penny.... they must have known about me already if they were asking me about the 4p items, plus on my way back downstairs... over the tannoy was announced ' ~~~~~ to the self service tills please,' - she is the BIGGEST trout every and one of the top dogs.. so i know they were on about getting her there for when i approached..... needless to say, i went to a manned till.. with my stash hidden away for tomorrow.. hehe..

    cheered me up anyway... i think i will make this into a little game.

    ps - kellogs multipack cereal worked for me too . x 49p i think it was.

    Oh before I call it a night just wanted to share a tip i've used when trying to sneak 1p/4p items through SS
    Take a couple of random items you DON'T want
    If at any point she comes close to you'd screen and you think your in trouble I just hand over the surplus item and say sorry is it ok if I put this back? Hand her the item at which point I have had most of them either go to put it at thd CS desk or off to put it back in the correct department giving you a valuable few minutes to get it all through!
    GRATITUDE WHEN GIVEN, PATIENCE WHEN DENIED

    Thanks :) I'm still optimistic and I don't give up... It was a quiet week last week and I was feeling a bit down but luckily everytime it happens things start getting up again... this week is crazy :) lots of phone calls and 4 interviews incl. Saturday's ones so far :) Today's one was brilliant and one of the Saturday's ones is a good one too... I'm refusing to settle for anything less then planned as this is one of the main reasons why we moved here and I don't like for my plans not to work :p


    excellent attitude hun !!!!!:T:T

    And I googled the sarma things ;) Yes, we do have something similar but it's too much work and not my favourite food... Do you use the sauerkraut for the filling? I much prefer dumplings with mushrooms&sauerkraut :p however I only make them for Christmas as it's too much work as well :o and not great dietwise too... :cool:

    I only ever make this for new year with mix of meat and sauerkraut for filling, old habit from 21 years of marriage to yugoslav......I have no idea why I still bother as we seperated 6 years ago :rotfl:I think we will just stick to smarties and TCO's this year!

    Have a good day tomorrow everyone ........ no glitches without letting me know please!!!

    sunshine..bear with me as I haven't read all the posts (too many days to catch up on,so just had to scan through :( lol) anyways...

    You're neighbour that came around,could you maybe go around hers tomorrow and say something along the lines of.........

    "hi sorry to bother you but I am desperate for any help I can get as I have lost my purse,when you were around yesterday did you notice my boys 'playing' 'putting' it anywhere by any chance please ....pause........'I don't know if I've lost it or they've moved it but I'm in such a panic"
  • i THINK.... this is where you will find info on stores that have scanners and where abouts you can find them instore.
