Hey if that really was the Coupon lady's son, I wonder if I may ask a question?

Did Mummy let you have a shower tonight?

But more importantly than that, who the hell keeps dead mice in their freezer.........

That WAS disturbing but did anyone notice how he picked up road kill AND THEN THROW IT ON HIS CAR SEAT :eek:
No sealed bag, no marigolds, nowt.

Then they were thrown in the freezer not even skinned and gutted.

Wonder what his BBQ guests will think when they see the state of his freezer and worksurfaces etc. Bleurgh.

Had a bit of a windfall so bought the good camera for christmas that I've always wanted from Jessops.

as far as I know, Tesco only offer DTD instore based on a SEL or price on the product/leaflet etc....even if they did offer DTD on credit card transactions, in your case they havent overcharged you as you have been sent 2 cameras. If they have declined 1 transaction, then approved the next 2...this means the transaction was put through 3 times - which is Jessops error, not Ts....Jessops shouldve contacted you when the payment was declined so you could offer alternative payment..or in your case advise them of the situation. Instead they have 'tried again' with the transaction..which Ts cc would approve as you've advised them its not fraudulent...and then you've reordered....hence the 2nd payment going through and 2 cameras being sent....the fault lies with Jessops, not Ts unfortunately!

Thanks for you serious and much appreciated thoughtfull reply. I was however joking about the DTD:o Sorry:o

I didn't actually tell the full story to save too long a post and it was just to share an experience and make a joke of it:). Jessops told me that they have to manually request a retry of a declined payment which they didn't do. The order no of the cancelled order was on one of the deliveries so it wasn't a double order of the second if that makes any sense. As I was also going through Quidco the first order didn't track but the second did for the correct amount i.e. one camera.

Sorry again I was just trying to lighten things up a bit with all the discussion on the CH4 thing. (Recorded it but haven't had time to watch it yet, so no comment on that)

I stood up to quick and went a bit faint, cue me tripping over my own feet several times, blacking out as i fell through the kitchen floor, which i hit with a mighty thud and a massive crunch apparantly.

I only got up so quick because DF was moaning he couldnt find any chocolate, we have a cupboard over flowing with the stuff FGS.

So he rushed me to hospital, in absolute agony after he had to cut my boot and sock off, so we could see what was going on.

Had an xray and its NOT broken, I now have an egg sized mass attached to my foot, it is severely bruised, but I have to rest for a week, NOT put any weight on it, keep it elevated and take loads of pain relief. So NO tesco for me for the next week or 2, cant even drive the car. On the plus side, i will be pampered as I cant walk, I can hop but its so painful.

Stupid Xray woman asked me is anyone had caught it on video as she'd love to watch it on youtube, I was not impressed.

I have never been in so much pain in my life.

good evening all.

hope your all enjoying the wine offer - wish i could get involved, but skint atm.. plus i cant drink atm either so suppose its best avoided for me... lol.

anyway - just caught up with the thread... did catch some of that programme on C4 last night and was wondering....

some people have said on here that the lady on the programme was taking the Pee with all the coupons she was using.. getting her 60 odd quid shopping down to a 5er or so.....

why was she taking the pee please?? are you not allowed to use this many coupons? - surely if you have baught the product that has a coupon, then you should be allowed to use it.. no matter if you have 1 other coupon for another item, or 10 other coupons for other relevent items??

i maybe issing the point here, as i was honestly just listening to the programme rather than watching it properly... but did she use the coupons properly? - if she did, then surely shes doing nothing wrong... or is it just the fact that she used sooo many in one transaction.??

this is an honest question and i dont mean to start a rant off or anything... was honestly just wondering..... the reason i ask is i was thinking of doing a 'weekly meal plan' - as on a reaaaaly tight budget these next few weeks, and was going to base my shopping on what coupons i could get... if that makes sense.
