    Cos it's dishonest i think:o. isn't it?!.. any other shop and I'd have probably gone back and pointed out the SA mistake but she was a trout and didn't even utter one word to me. I was outside and had a little fight with myself as to whether to go back or not then thought not..

    Just spent an hour trying to find my email bin, got the codes , tried it out and it works. Is there anyway they could cancel them and charge you at a later date ?

    Sorry - only just seen this so may have been answered. T usually blocks using more than one X code, but lets you use as many G codes as the system accepts - the ones I had were G codes and I guess yours were too?. It is more likely to be removed at the point of delivery, in which case you could refuse the order if you wanted to - have never known this happen or the money be recovered later, but no doubt there is something in the t & cs to say they could if they realised what was happening.

    As a general rule, "bank" all codes on a dummy T.com order straight away and they will just sit there - and underneath will say if you have not met the criteria for the code. Quite often (this is T) they mess up and allow combinations. About 18 months ago, we were getting more than 2000 points on £20 orders of organic fruit and veg and meat because there were multiple wys codes that all triggered on the same spend - it took several weeks before T cottoned on and blocked the codes.

    If you have any X codes (eg in recent mailings with CS vouchers), you can use one of these in addition to the 3 x £5 off G codes.

    Does that make any sense?

    Not caught up yet - OH has had me out working!

    Hope it all went well for Cattysmum (sic), hope you are back home and recovering MMW.

    Happy birthday to all those that have admitted it, and to all those that have not.

    Once again, sitting here feeling pooped, only have to think about Mr & Mrs 3Dogs and realise we are not so bad off after all, just wish we had your spirit too!

    Sitting here with all the windows open, listening to the birds singing, and have now been informed I have work to do!! Will try to catch up later!

    I get fed up with cancelled Direct orders! There system must be pretty crumbie!

    I had ordered a couple of backpaks to use for Marys Meals Charity School Bag Appeal. You fill them with school stuff and a pair of shorts and Tshirt. The bag is the expensive biyt so the ones on offer for under a £5 was great.

    Email been received - cancelled order. Drives me nuts!!

    By trying to get DTD are we all not being a bit dishonest in the first place?

    Or when we say, 'I've forgotten my purse/wallet' at the Tesco tills...we're kind of being dishonest there too. :o

    I wouldn't worry about it hun...enjoy the £14 and have fun in the sun!

    i am home :j:j:j minus one toe :(:(

    i got to the ward at 11.55am and was in theatre and 1.15pm :T:T.

    the aneastic didnt want to do a general as i have a cold, and i told him i aint having a local. so we compromised, he did a spinal,sort of like a epidural, and i listened to my mp3 player, this had to go in a plastic bag.

    i had a side room, due to a previous positive MRSA swab test. :(
    i was waiting for my supper (5pm) when there was a tapping on my window, i looked up and the was a seagull sat there tappping the window. i started "chatting" with him. i asked the cleaner if i could hae a piece of bread for him. she [STRIKE]a grump[/STRIKE] said no. she said the woman that was in my bed had chucked her crusts out of the window, so the seagull would now wait for them, not realising she was no longer there. the seagull was getting impatient now and was pulling at its feathers. when i got my food i waited until no one was looking and gave the seagull a few bits.
    2 mins before breakfast he arrived again. how does he know the time?



    i am not meant to walk far, and keep my leg up. i have been given a stick to help me walk.

    thanks for all the good wishes.

    now off to catch up from yesterday morning.
    life is like a loo roll. the nearer the end you get, the faster it goes.
