According to the T & Cs I think you can't use any other coupons or codes when you are doubling up for clothing and if you return items you will be credited back with a clubcard voucher to the equivalent value before exchange - at least, I think this is what it says Mind you, what CS actually do and what the T & Cs say is a whole different story again - anything could happen ....

The Clubcard Voucher Exchange Terms and Conditions: Minimum exchange value of £5 applies - see in store for details or tesco.com/clubcard. Clubcard vouchers can be exchanged online at tesco.com/clubcard or at most Tesco stores except Express, subject to availability. Clubcard vouchers can only be exchanged for Exchange tokens from 14th May 2012 to 13th June 2012 inclusive. If your Clubcard voucher exceeds the amount you wish to Exchange, any change will be credited back to your Clubcard account in points and carried over to your next statement. Exchange tokens have no cash value, no change given, are valid until 23.59pm on 19th June 2012 and must be used in conjunction with your Clubcard. Each Exchange token can be used once only in the selected department, exclusions may apply. Check availability of products first to avoid disappointment. More than one Exchange token can be used in a single transaction, however the total cost of the products purchased, including any discounts, must equal or exceed the value of the Exchange tokens used. You must pay the remaining balance using a valid payment method. Delivery charges may apply. Exchange eCoupons for Clothing cannot be used in conjunction with other eCoupons. Exchange eCoupons for Tesco direct cannot be used in conjunction with other eCoupon codes starting TDX- or TDXR- or redeemed against seller products. If you print your Exchange tokens at home, please ensure your Exchange tokens have printed clearly on white paper, before taking them into store. Unfortunately, smudged or unclear barcodes are unable to be scanned at the till. If you have a damaged token, please visit your nearest participating store for help. Exchange tokens cannot be exchanged back into points or into cash or for another department. Items purchased with an Exchange token can only be exchanged, with a receipt, for goods in the same category to the same value. Any refunds for purchases made using Exchange tokens will be equivalent to the Clubcard voucher value originally exchanged. Your statutory rights are not affected. Tesco reserves the right to withdraw The Clubcard Voucher Exchange at any time. Clubcard Terms & Conditions apply. The Clubcard helpline is on 0800 591 688 (Free from BT landlines. Other providers may charge. Calls may be recorded).

completely OT I know, and I have asked on fb but no definitive answers...the local bee man wants £25 just to come a look at them....so can anyone tell me what type of bees these are ........sorry for carp pics as I have a carp phone and hanging out of the window with bees flying around me was not best way to get a photo!

I have loads of them in my loft........I can hear them and can no longer sleep in my bedroom as they are above my head!!

I just need to know if they will die off in a few weeks (ie solitary bees) and i just have to wait or if they are honey bees- in which case I am stuck as I cant afford to have a beekeeper move them (Bees are protected species and quite rightly so)

they seem to have orange colour top half of body and black bottom half and I really dont want to spend £25 to identify them!!

Morning all! I had the same issue with a swarm of honey bees. Google your local bee keepers association. Ours came out and took them away for free! Not sure what bees you have though sorry

Morning all thanks for the new thread fk . On route to a wedding today so may be able to pop into some tescos to look for mags if I find any nearby on the store locator as none near me with any

I had bees in the side of my garage, and they were flying in and out right by my front door. I got a pest control company in, and they told me they were Masonry Bees. They did get rid of them for the same price as wasps, about £60, but the bees reappeared again the next summer!
I did not have to pay to have them identified though. I think they told me they could only treat them as they were obstructing my entrance to the house. They look the same as your bees calmspirit

Clamspirit, you could try offering the bees on Freecycle and they would collect for free.
For those that were talking about the difficulty of getting rid of their children's stuff, I take a photo of each item before throwing out/giving away then at any time you can look through the photos and have a good reminice/laugh and they take up hardly any space. Also easy to give copies to the origional owner .as a keepsake

Just showed your post to DH who photographs all sorts of wildlife, including bees. He reckons that your bees are a type of bumblebee, but photos are not good enough to identify exactly. Your local beekeepers would not be interested in them, so would probably not remove. DH says that the queen will leave in the autumn to hibernate and all the others will die, so it looks as if you're stuck with them until the autumn I'm afraid.

Oh, I'm so sorry FK, I forgot to thank you for the new thread. THANK YOU hun.
I posted quickly yesterday to answer a query on the barcode for the suntan stuff, and whizzed off out. Hope you are all well and happy. Will try to put some more pics on later, but it will probably be night crew time when I do cos we're 5 hours behind here. We're off to an offshore island for the day with an old friend, so lots of piccie opportunities hopefully.
Zippy flies home today. He is a lovely chap and we thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with him and his DW, THANKS ZIPPY xxx
Got to go now, hugs for all you lovely peeps.
