morning all, not been on much over the weekend have been trying to tidy house (faiing badly with kids and OH here) but got some done and will carry on with the rest today as its miserable and drizzly outside.

For anyone on the fairy ssm trial the packs of 30 tabs of platinum are only £5.10 in mr t at the mo half price from £10 (ok own up who has EVER paid £10 for these b4 lol) has anyone tried to use the ssm mocs yet ? do they scan for the correct £3.00 as barcode reads as £1.50.

anyway first cup of tea nearly cool so off to attack housework, catchup later.

hi CM
it was reported as scanning at £1.50 but since then i've had contact with someone at P & G and they've pasted it on to relevant Dept/people.

no ones mentioned using it since then so no idea if the problems been fixed

i do know they were unaware of the scanning problem until i emailed them, so fingers crossed its sorted


any idea what prcedure is if coupons for one price but scans at another, do they have to over ride it????

you'd think i'd know the answer:rotfl::rotfl:

Morning all
Well done MT's DS on apprenticeship - probably a damn sight more useful than some degrees (plus associated loan)

Hi Jeferey,

Thanks for the link have signed up :beer: I have a few to choose from in my area. I have got the email already with free drinky but nothing about 50% off food, does that come in another email or is it just running "instore" so to speak?

Hope you enjoyed your meal

Sorry FV - missed your post.
They just send email offers every so often - this is the best one so far!
They may well send you it still

thanks for the reply MT i may chance using one later in the week. but i'm sure t3sco know 100% what they are doing as always.

i'll report back if & when i buy some, still using thru the quantum kits to be honest.

also noticed today in sainbobs the dettol no touch units have had their packaging changed, the old style are down to £6.99 but new style £11.99 exactly the same inside but just diff shaped box and gone up £2 more than old shape ever was, cheeky doodahs.

Good morning. Nice and sunny here

I'm loving Alton Towers even more this morning as I have had a very quick response to my email about the bad service/attitude I had at one of their food places. The chips were cold and old, which the woman cooking them denied etc. Anyways I got them changed but was angry with her attitude so emailed Alton Towers. I am now getting a free hot dog meal for me and OH and priority ride passes for 2 rides for us both :j:j:j It pays to complain if your genuinly not happy, plus the trout should get told off/retrained by her managers:D

I don't think they are worth £9.99, so def not worth £11.99:eek::eek: I think £5 is a reasonable amount for them. I think they may go the same way as the quauntums. When they first came out they were £9.99, now they are no longer sold. All they had to do was make them a reasonable price in the first place and then people would buy them and maybe continue if they liked the idea, but to make a new thing so much money especially in these difficult times makes no sense.

Congrats MT 's sons:T nice to read something positive about young people getting jobs ....well done to Blue re AT...a good result for you as your complaing email was very well composed, just the right tone..:T
And then I read this in your post above.....'I think £5 is a reasonable amount for them.'.....and fell about.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
You paid £5 for them....really????:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Now cast your minds back peeps to the good old days when we all got millions of bottles of rinse aid and I posted that it cleans UPVC., but even so it was going to last us around 100 years..well it still does work well on the UPVC , but hubby poured some into an empty spray bottle thingy last week and didn't tell me.....it was a Dettol one.As the rinse aid is clear I picked it up to do my general kitchen surface/cloakroom/toilets/bathroom cleaning not realising it wasn't the Dettol cleaning spray, it was only when I was rinsing it off with cold water I thought it a little bit 'lathery' and then noticed there was no smell....hubby then told me I'd got the wrong stuff....but the thing is.... it worked...it cleaned really well....I have a white cereamic kitchen sink and it cleaned it so sparkly and left it really clean and the stainless steel plug/seal thingy in my other sink with the waste disposal unit came up a treat....so get out into the shed/garage or up the loft and bring out those bottles we all stashed...:)

For those of you wondering why we got them if we didn't want them....simples....we were paid £2 to take them away, as we got them free with mocs and they had a £2 moc on them.
