    Just a thought...........

    Does anyone ever wonder if all of these glitches are "engineered" by Tesco. There's us getting all excited when we think we have a bargain but the reality could be different.

    Perhaps we are just pawns on a chessboard (even cheeseboard!) with Tesco management chuckling up their sleeves that they've managed to offload another pizza mountain onto the unsuspecting British public.

    You can tell its football on the TV.........

    if T's are playing an underhand game then they certainly aren't telling the staff .
    over the last few days we've informed friends who work for T's about the £5 meal deal much to their amazement .
    I was young once , now I get older all the time .

    Evening guys!!

    I could do with your advice on a "dilemma" I have at the mo. I have a chance to fly out to Greece for 4 days and all I would need to pay for is my flights, which are just over £250. I can get the time off work one way or another, and have done the sums and can definitely afford it.

    Would you go? It's a chance for some very welcome sun, a gorgeous place to go to and I know the people there.

    My only bugbear is that when I went last year I got stuck there as my flight home got cancelled because of the strikes and I swore I would never go greek again. Surely that couldn't/wouldn't happen again???





    It helps to have "someone else" to run this past. It's thanks to you lot (and mr t of course!!) that I don't have to worry about the money for probably the first time in my life :-)

    Hope your case is packed and you are green for go.We got stuck on holiday because of the volcanic ash cloud, but it is just another one of lifes twists and turns.
    Life is to short to worry about what ifs;)
    Lost my beloved Dad to Mesothelioma (asbestos cancer) two years ago, and he loved life and tried to live it until the end.He always said Life isn't a rehearsal.
    go enjoy yourself. Just make sure you take small euro notes though.

    At the time I couldn't access parts of the house there was so much of it so sadly some of it had to go-made me popular though;)
    I think I am following your footsteps. I am thinking of more ways to store things in the wardrobe. All the body shop stuff it in bags on the floor. I am storing food in wardrobes now.
    Mortgage debt 45,000. Thank you all for your help so far in helping me save to buy the house. I could not have done this without all your help.

    It has been done before in T's, particularly to gain points in the old days when CC points were plentiful. The one instance that sticks in my mind was the small picture frames. Can't remember the exact details but it was something like £2 a frame and gave 500 points.

    It was debated at the time and was concluded that it was obtaining a percuniary advantage and constituted fraud.

    i remember this sort of action amongst the Boots Thread when it existed, there was once a voucher in the Boots mag which gave 200 points for purchasing any time delay product and the till spits were also giving £5 off any time delay product, people were buying the time delay face wipes for free (with the voucher) and gaining 200 points on doing so, alas, most boots ran out of the face wipes and people ended up taking their own into store to "buy" again and gain 200 points only to collect another voucher and on the merry go round again and again.
    It`s nice to be important, but its more important to be nice.
    The world is full of people throwing stones at us. Its what you do with them that counts. Build a wall or build a bridge.
