    Just reading back to a post about 70 pages back and there seems to be a new cap on the value of JTD vouchers of £10 instead of £20 :mad:

    Also says only one JTD per household per day but I only ever used one anyway

    Is this so or have I read it wrong? I've not printed any of the vouchers that came on 15th - no idea where receipts would be :D

    If its only £10 this is rubbish. My £40 shops using conditional spends were calculate don getting as high a value JTD as I could ideally £12 - £16 but that was not easy unless you included wine or cat food in the shop.

    I suppose we will have to hoard what wine we have got now, very glad I have the Marks wine as a back-up.

    I read through the JTD thread as well but didnt spot this change

    we had a lovely day. we went to ditchling to get our organic free range eggs, and have a "chat" with the chickens.

    then we went to sh0reham t's. fab they had the cool bag:j, never seen these anywhere near me:(, they had the jimmy sausgaes:j, they dont stock them near me, so we got 8 packs:T. they had the free range chicken kievs as well.

    they were also doing taste testing, we had the "shreddies" 2 different types, and had to type in a pc our results.

    then we went to sainsbobs at p0rtslade (i think thats where it is) to spend some bm we had found in the car park. :T they were giving away free samples, we had some areo choclatechip, areomint, strawberries and squirty cream and scones and butter. :j:j

    so that was breakfast and lunch sorted.

    then we went geocaching in l$wes. we went down a very strange named road, i cant put the name on here as the swear thingy will delete it :eek: but it ryhmes with "dock". its on my facebook page.

    tea was the jimmy sausages, very nice they were as well.

    H@stings also has the sausages if thats closer to you than Sh0reham, although you're probably half way between the two

    Hello Scamps, hows things with you ?

    Hi Frequent, been a bit quiet this week as my car was stolen!! Police found it about a mile away from where i'd left it last Saturday!! It's now in the hands of the repairers and I'm waiting for the keys to be returned from the insurers so I can pick it up. No damage done and nothing nicked from inside!! It had all my car boot stuff in it as well! I've got a feeling it ran out of petrol and whoever nicked it panicked and just left it! Of course they left it on double yellows so it got 3 parking tickets on it before the police towed it away. Bet you're glad you asked now:rotfl::rotfl:

    well I must fore an email off to Phil about our manager of cash desk *(in charge of the world type person) Judith!

    last time i was there i wasn't allowed to use a 32p jtd voucher because guess why?? "its not allowed because the maximum is £20 u can use" yes judith that makes perfect sense 32p can't be used because the maximum is £20 pound!!!! i felt i needed to explain that maximum £20 MEANT 32P was ok "no i'm sorry" says Judith "its the rules i have just read it on an email" "don't you think you should double check what you have read Judith" off Judith pops to check her email holding the whole que up at checkout and everyone looks at me!!! Judith pops back after speaking at length to everyone with a suit on in tesco, I will put it thru "THIS TIME" to which i reply "were you mistaken with ur information Judith?" to which she replied in a whisper and looking in opposite direction "maybe i was "

    Today. thought i better get some of these make a meal meal things i put 8 in trolly with alot of other shopping and decided to go to self serve and split into 4 transactions with alot of other items. Who do i see. Good old Judith. She is hanging about Self serve looking straight at me and studying the end screens to keep an eye on what i'm doing. my daughter tells me she is watching me. 3 coupons thru with the first shop had to get one varified by young lovely boy. Judith is looking at me the whole time. then she starts muttering away. next shop quite a big shop 3 coupons boy varifys them again on thirst one. no problem. dd tells me she is speaking to boy after he deals with me. next load thru by me 3 coupons boy is ordered to go onto checkouts behind a till, another woman is spoken to to come over to me and watch me put coupons in, she smiled and said it was fine but her manager (Judith) has said i am not allowed to take any more vouchers off ur shopping because the maximum you are allowed to use in one day is 6!!!!!!!!! at which point i laughed "aw really thats awful nice of you to say and you are lovely and have been really helpful to me thank you" i look over to see Judith watching the whole conversation........... "excuse me Judith" i say "would you like to tell me why i can't use any more coupons" "6 per day maximum" "is that right Judith" last time i was in here you said "6 per transaction" To which she replies "no" and walks away without any eye contact. "interesting" i say pleasantly in her direction.
    So tonight a little email to Phil i think xxxxx

    you should've asked your DD to do the other 2 transactions - she's not done her 6 a day. :D:D that would probably !!!! Judith off as well, which would be my aim if I was in your position.

    ETA: just realised i used a naughty word!:o i meant to say peeve
