I can't believe around 18 months ago I used to spend £120-£150 a week for 2 of us (and the cat) :eek::eek:

and you eat those teeny tiny meals, either the cat is an elephant or it gets fed on steak

I have to say I have NEVER seen IT systems developments so badly managed in my life. Believe me my OH and I have plenty of experience in the IT field but Tesco's IT systems are really badly designed and the development side really is shoddy at best.

I thoroughly agree with you. I have been in IT (hardware, software and networks) since 1987 and have rarely seen such mismanagement in all those years. I think in part the rot started when they outsourced all IT to Bangalore in 2008, it has seemed to be downhill all the way since then.

But on the plus side those IT bods in Bangalore are the ones responsible for the glitches so it's not all bad :rotfl:

Grrr hate trouts! Used one of my B&J price checks she scrutinised every bit of detail on it and then refused to give me back the receipt which I need for shop and scan!
Had my friend with me who was like this > :eek: at my voucher and then proceeded to say it's too much hassle which made me :eek:

I've just had a lot of emails through as well.
Still no real food mags in my store so no MAM. Really want to get some for my mum as she is feeding two adults on a single persons benefit at minute. I already donated her a lot of my pizza/garlic bread but they don't eat that stuff a lot.

I don't do football normally but I am now £20 better off. Would have been £70 but I told OH to only put 25p not a quid!

Going to bid you all good night now.
Working all weekend

Hopefully Mr T will booger up again tomorrow and give us a glitch tomorrow to spend our new price promise vouchers on :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Nighty night x

come on guys, anyone reusing these vouchers will only get your store into trouble, as they are supposed to see your original receipt and sign it. i for one in this instance dont want to make couponing any harder in my store. as i said before though its upto you and i would not blame you.

How was Butlins ? Rooms, food, entertainment ?

It was good, ta for asking... The weather was atrocious and pretty scary though on our drive and the police had shut the roads in and out of Bognor within ten mins of us arriving so we were lucky to get there!

DS (who is almost 3) loved it. We kind of got in a routine re: the rides/entertainment/activities for him and OH and I somehow managed to have a little break too.. although it was constant. If your child/children are aged 5+, you can put them in activities such as football games etc so parents can have an hour off too.

We stayed in the Shoreline hotel (aimed at under 5's) and had breakfast and dinner included in it. Food was good, you had a choice of about 6 places to eat, there was also a Brian Turner restaurant which was nice. Room was nice and DS had his own bedroom too.

I'd prob go again, it's easier packing up the car than flying abroad.
