    I have a form of OCD as I won't stop whoopsieing even though we've nowhere to put it, still have a fridge rammed full of OJ, cupboards full of cleaning products, dozens of shampoos, lenors (from SSM) hair dyes from superdrug, several boxes of palmolives and original source from S's.
    Kitchen cupboards are full of cheap rice, pasta, sauces etc from the recent A's bargains and now boxes of PG tips!!
    I haven't told him that the boot of the car is full of the £1 laundry tabs I found in A's today :rotfl::rotfl:

    In all seriousness....do you think he has a point and we really are addicts :eek::eek:
    :o:o But a nice addiction :o:o:o I feel proud that I now have enough washing powder, tea bags, washing up liquid, Foxs Crinkle crunchs, CDMs & cake mix for the next 3 years. Just need a loo paper glitch please :)

    Everyone gets the hump with me,they send me long texts and I answer back in the fewest words(But correct English;))I hate texting and mobiles, If I didnt have to have one I wouldnt and I have'nt even got an answerphone on my home phone, it's really bad I know but if people really need me they'll phone back;):rotfl:

    :T Ditto - it takes me forever to write a text in 'long speak'
    We also have answer machine switched off, Well I thought it was :o but Fourp rang me during the BB Conor & Luke S hit the money button minute :eek: :mad: so I let it ring :o
    he informs today that the phone went to answer phone ???? So I went to check it by pressing a few buttons (don't do instructions) & discovered 6 months of messages left :o:o:o
    Definitely now switched off .............. I think.....

    Alright, who's the lurker that left a role of receipts at Wh1tchurch (br1st0l) all with APG received on them? I went in to use mine and was told that I couldn't use my wombles as it was fraud:eek:
    Was told by the manager that the receipts belong to the person that bought the items and it was theirs and that it is is a criminal offence to try and spend the APG's:eek: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    He took the APG's off me (about £12) and told me to speak to HO. What's going on?????????????:(

    3 of them did look like they'd been run over a bit :o But his words were that they (asda) were aware of this and they're trying to stop it:(


    One of my SA's at CC the other day looked twice at one of my APG's, it had definitey been run over, probably more than once, and was located at the top of the hill at the end of the car park. She looked a bit quizzical and I didnt have a good excuse for it, but she still took it and started telling me how bad she thought it was that people didnt do the price check thing enough!

    Maybe you just had a jobsworth today :)

    Gotta feel sorry for those that need the free from range though :( Not only do they have to buy very expensive cereals but no petrol moc, naughty MrT :(:(

    discrimination i believe is the word :)

    and when I have finished my battle with Mr A, I shall be complaining about the discrimination Mr T uses, on behalf of those that require a gluten/wheat free diet - my daughter included ;)

    fortunately DD2 and DH eat quite literally anything, so have stocked up on Shreddies and Coco Pops for them - but effectively what I've saved on petrol, is only 'overspent' on over inflated prices for gluten free food, but hey ho...every little helps :)
    hoping for a very MSE Ts glitching 2012!

    Oh that looks super! I do like a creme caramel but have to have a crispy sugar topping. I wonder if these could be done in ramakins so i could sprinkle some sugar on the top and grill it? (if only I could find some packets to buy!:rotfl:)

    The instructions did say one big or 4 small ramekins, we used the free k3lloggs cereal bowl:rotfl:

    Hope you find them 50p in T & S
    49p in A;)

    Just reporting back to let you all know what a brilliant afternoon i have had. I went to my local T's just after 5pm and it had to be the best move i have made in ages:)

    I wombled 3 receipts which combined have just under 400:eek::eek::eek: cc points on them and also another two receipts where a cc has been used but due to reading on here that if you keep going it will eventually tell you that you have got the cc number right:T:T when inputting into the pp machine.

    I also did two separate shops which combined came to £64 ish and paid for these using double-up cc vouchers, £6 off £40 spend and other coupons etc; - 3 big boxes of cat food, which i will be dropping off to the local animal sanctuary in the morning, 6 lots of cereal, 2 pks of loin of pork, febreze and a few other bits and pieces which resulted in me getting 5 of the petrol vouchers and should give me two maximum pp vouchers -and my total outgoings were £21 and looking at getting back my pp's:j:j:j

    I then saw the lad doing the whoopsies as i was leaving the store so diverted back in and got some lovely bunches of lilies - 10p each:eek::eek: and a T's finest Astrid plant in a lovely pot for 15p the lad even asked me if 15p was cheap enough for me:rotfl::rotfl: and then a load of raspberries, apricots, salad stuff, pasties, and a couple of fresh cream cakes.

    I have decided that i like late opening times on a sunday as no one around and lots of whoopsies and wombles for me - will definately be back again next sunday:j:j:j best bit of fun i have had in ages :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    All the APGs over £10 have the same barcode. Don't know if that helps you.

    I use the transaction number to help me distinguish which one is which. I thinkthat is what they check in the shop as the bar code is the same over £10.
    When I grow old, I dont want people thinking "what a sweet old lady" I want them to think
    "oh carp what is she up to now!"

    I gave the customer in front of me at the till yesterday a £5 off £40 spend - she was over the moon :D & then she gave me her CC points as she didn't have a CC :T:T:T
