    hi darlings i'm home!!! all champaged out and knackered but home (technically at work as we speak tho,) thank you for all birthday wishes and messeges,my facebook page is pretty chocca with all the berthday wishes and to FK VERY VERY FUNNY making me panic over glitch!!!!! :p
    i have oodles and oodles of catching up to do tommorow,
    hope everyone is ok, love to mr and mrs 3dogs xxxxxx

    WB, glad you enjoyed your birthday treat!

    I already have an eye on them too:p
    I have a system where I always use different SA at CS. So never use the same one twice in two days and always mix it up and go to the cig counter where I forget you shouldn't put points on there;) but can if the SA allows. Normally does as I've been queuing. Then get them put on on at the basket till also :T

    You're doing all you can to lower the risk! Remember to get points put on when you visit relatives/friends etc too. Perhaps decide on a value that above that point, you do add the points, but below it, you leave the points alone?

    Hello everyone
    Quick post before I attempt to catch up on today's posts.

    Had a look in Metro, this evening, and checked price of the big Fathers day Tobelorone's - still £3.00 and Thorntons small rectangle box chocs, I Love Dad (or something like that) still £3.00.
    Price of footie Haribo, even though barcode 4008 were £1.00 (thought that barcode was a 1p one) :(

    Thats a sin. Poor Riley
    Im not sure what else I can do. The thing will literally sit on the other side of our kitchen window and torment our cat Marmalade who is lazily lying in the sun. I know people will say oh its natural and revenge for cats chasing other animals. But there is no chase these things are bonkers :mad:

    My next door neighbours have three cats and one of them "Max" is fairly old, quite unsteady on his feet and practically blind - i have seen these nasty magpies come down and actually sit on him and peck at him, other times when he has been sat on the fence they have swooped at him and managed to knock him off the fence - they are definitely nasty pieces of work and to be honest with you - if i had a gun i would shoot them!!! I spend most of my time at home in the garden and 90% of that time is spent defending poor old Max :(

    Hahaha I had a reply!

    "We are aware of a current shortage regarding the food magazine and are currently working to resolve this issue ASAP."

    They want my address to send one out. Wonder if they'd send out a dozen or so so I can stock up haha

    Why not tell them which coupon you particularly want and ask them if they can send you half a dozen of the coupons. They can only say no but my guess is they will send you them.

    Sorry I'll try and change the topic.

    Has anyone had any problems using the price promise vouchers? I tried one today but the girl on the till wasn't going to accept it. She muttered something about not being allowed to take them any more but she couldn't get her supervisors attention so gave up and put it through. It was only for a couple of quid so not over the new £10 limit.
    A few of us have had problems with them now, me thinks the changes have confused the already confused staff :p Complain on T's facebook wall!

    Fudgecake your posts are amazing. I always have so much to say and always forget. You are so thoughtful.

    Big hugs to those who need them and well done's/congrats to those applicable :) x

    Everything will be ok in the end, and if it isn't ok then it isn't the end :)
