    Good Morning

    Just back from T's. No bargains today - batteries at correct price.

    Did notice an OOD sel 04/03 on single panasonic phone £29.99 / £59.99. No scanner so couldn't check & don't have enough money to cover it till tomorrow so if anyone visits Y**K store (upstairs) then could be a DTD opportunity for someone ;)

    Can someone help me with something really daft that I've done. I want to print some SSM coupons of there site but when I press the button that says get coupon the whit box comes up to pick which coupon I want and which supermarket but only half the info is in the box, like the box is too small.

    Can you increase or decrease the size? At the bottom of your computer it should say the percentage size that you are using on your computer e.g. 100%, 75% etc. Try adjusting that.

    The person instore was misinterpreting the rules. I've not had trouble exchanging my oddments for a single card anywhere, even in stores that are fully aware that you can't buy giftcards with giftcards.


    Yep FK, I totally agree, but just thought if anyone else was having the same problems as me, then it might help. I assume a memo went round saying 'dont accept giftcards in exchange for giftcards' because of the glitch, and its been 'over enthusiastically' implimented. In that case, this is simply a way of getting round it. :money: (and saving car park costs;))

    The only thing I could see remotely similar is where it says WHS giftcards cannot be used to buy other companies (like Itunes etc) It says nothing about buying like for like, but if the computer says no, there is an alternative!

    Poor you PF - Many years ago someone gave me some great advice which I use regularly: "Kill them with kindness" Took me a while to mature enough to use it, but believe me, it takes the wind out of sails, and deflates any misunderstandings!

    I second this ... it worked for me with a work colleague that didn't like me (for some reason unbeknown to me) ... it really got on their nerves and made me look like the 'bigger' person :D

    Price check in - goodfellas pizzas still working (now got 16 in the freezer but still managed to ahve a go at my OH for eatign a cheese one last nioght (those are for the kids!!!) instead of the pepperoni ones that I got for him. He looked at me like I was mad and said but there are loads left!!!!

    Note the Cathedral City Mature 350g cheddar did not price check as now on BOGOF so compares with ASDA price x2 ie T £3.98 and Asda £4 - but having said that in Tesco its BOGOF so I did get 700g of cheese for £3 or 4.28 a kilo sounds good to me

    I don't think the computer will say no as someone reported last week that they exchanged all theirs for other companies giftcards. I've not tried it myself though.

    I'd love to know how many some people have done. I've done a fair few but I bet some people have really given this one a good hiding! :T
