Trouted @ Sta!rfoot today

Bought 5 packs of toasta bags as mentioned here, £1.75 SEL, charged £3.99. CS told me I wasn't entitled to DTD as I used SS.

Told her she was wrong, Manager came and backed her up. Tried calling HO but it was 20:20 and HO was shut.

Was then told it was down to the Store whether they offered DTD through SS or not, and this store didn't. Argued for a good ten minutes then left. Refused refund and told them I'd contact HO first thing requesting they are re-trained.

==========

Checked Wath Extra earlier today:

Two sets of Sony Earphones remaining, Pink on the cereal aisle with £4.97 SEL, scanning at £7.97, picked two up last week no use for anymore.

Malt Red Wine with seasonal Spices SEL £3.99 (03/01) scanned at £4.99, Italian Wine section.

Sorry forgot the brand name, but another Italian Wine SEL £12.99 (03/01) scanning at £15.99. Both Wines unique to Store, correct price @ Sta!rfoot.

Plenty of Oust Iron, and one toasta bag SEL with full clipstrip near the Chemist in the corner, down the nappy aisle if I remember correctly. CS took the SEL from far Aisle beside the Wines, but some packs remaining on Clipstrip.

Hi welcome to my stomping grounds
Stairfoot are notoriously bad for DTD on SS. Don't suppose the CS lady was quite petite very short blond hair? I have got to the point in that store now where if it's only a small overcharge I get it corrected at the till as I CBA with them!
There are quite a few lurkers at wath and s/foot which is why they have gotten so funny with DTD. If it is your local it might be better leaving this battle along

I have the same problem Beki - I think it's the starch that makes the skin flare. Try using rubber gloves x

Exactly what the guy in chemist said Thanks hun, although never happened before.

That sounds like an allergy to me Beki.
I would try an antihistimine cream like benadryl or some lanacane cream to stop the itching

Pharmacist has given me some piriton I think and said 3 a day, so hope that will clear it up, starting to look a bit unsightly now :eek:

Czer, not sure on BC I didn't have that, I had the mini egg one scribbled on hand with other info, looked a weirdo hiding it in pocket and pulling it out every so often

Oh yes, a question for all the butter makers!

I managed a few whoopsied tubs tonight but I've only got a food blender, and one of those hand blender things, the ones witht he 3 blades on. They won't work with they?

I did empty two pots into an ice cream tub with a well sealed lid and shook it. It turned to solid cream in 2 or 3 mins, but now when I shake it, it doesn't really move so think I'm stuck!!!

Heeeeeeelp!!!!!

2/3 of the ironing done. At least the boys will look clean & tidy even if I don't!

Butter. Mine was done with a bog standard Russell Hobbs hand blender. I think FK you're saying you only have blades for cutting and not whisks for errrr whisking! You need to whisk until the cream goes from runny to thick & white to looking very like scrambled eggs (I think this is when you put in salt but only if you're not freezing). Turn speed down on whisk, keep going until the scrambled egg starts to separate and you end up with butter that clumps onto the whisk and a liquid that is butter milk. I whisked, poured out butter milk into a bowl using a sieve to catch any bits of butter then whisked again, drained off butter milk etc etc until it was just a big lump of butter. Having kids means I have muslin squares so I dumped the water in the muslin, ran it under the tap whilst flattening the butter, folding in the water, squeezing it out and keep going until your hands are frozen and the liquid coming off the butter is clear. Once done I dried off the butter using some plain kitchen (didn't want to risk the printed patterned stuff), set it down onto greaseproof paper, rolled it into a log then cut it like garlic bread and rolled it up in the paper to put in the freezer where it should keep for 3 months. I made some a few days ago and defrosted it today and already it tasted saltier than the fresh stuff I tried last week.

Are the Lindt bears from T's or S?

They were a glitch a few weeks back from a Tesco express.

I might have to invest in a tesco value hand mixer tomorrow!

I've been shaking this for ages! I'll look like Jean Claude Van Damme by the time I go to bed! :rotfl:
