    OH WHAT TO DO WHAT TO DO.
    i used an A.P.G. today for £20, the ss girl said ive never seen one that big. had an answer for that but dw with me
    anyway, as i was getting clothes they had to confirm i could use it. the answer came back as yes and sorry for the hold up.
    now the bit where i dont know what to do. i was given the receipt back unmarked. ''A GOLDEN ONE'' but i put my own info into the price checker so i assume its traceable to me. so should i use it again or not.
    .

    I asked that question on here once, and got absolutely flamed ...so I can tell you what everyone will say ....but i'm sure some people on here have done it, even if they don't admit it!

    Actually Ive probably done it my mistake getting new wombled receipts mixed up with ones ive used that haven't been written on .... it is the staff members job to write on the receipt before giving it back to you.

    Phew! For the first time in days I've managed to catch up :)

    Can admit now to nearly peeing my pants this afternoon when I used the biggest APG I've ever had :eek:
    I was half expecting a real trouting and made my husband come with me in case this happened.
    I chose a really smiley SA and she couldn't have been nicer
    Her exact words were "It's got to be done, hasn't it!!!"
    She just said that someone's wine must be really cheap ;)

    After I'd said I intended buying it in 3's, I had my three grandchildren in tow and in my haste just chucked the 9 wines in and forgot to split the shop at the checkout. I won't be doing that again in a hurry.....the stress wasn't worth it :o:o

    I bought some clothing today (and some more wine :o) Worst thing was that in my panic, I forgot to use my beanz coupon :rotfl::rotfl:
    My husband says he will leave me if I don't stop shopping......... God I will miss that man.

    Reading a lot about the weather across the country! We've been having sheet and some fork lightning, rolling thunder and torrential rain, I'm thrilled! I LOVE extreme weather!

    nearlysorted - what a lovely thing you're doing, I am completely out of the loop vouchers wise but I hope you get it all together, well done xx

    HappyChappy84 - Don't talk to me about flash player, bliddy thing keeps crashing my PC every third/fourth time I want to watch something on Netflix! :mad:
    I bought some new jeans from Burtons the other week and I've just got around to taking them out of the bag and they smell a bit sulphurous to me.

    Do new jeans need to be washed before the firs use? If so, so they be washed inside out or the right way around? Any specific temperature or just as per the instructions sewn in to the jeans?

    Just a tip with jeans (ones with elastane in) or leggings, actually anything with elastane in, DO NOT put fabric conditioner in the wash! I was told this by my SW consultant when moaning how my stretch jeans faded so badly and all the stretch went, she told me to stop putting conditioner in and my new lot of jeans have stayed pristine!

    SpiralingDown - she sounds like she needs a good wake-up call/slap! If I were you, I wouldn't take anything and just tell her because she appreciates nothing, that's what she'll be getting from now on! Should set the cat amongst the pigeons! :eek: :D

    Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who gave me the info I needed, couldn't track down the 8 pack of plenty unfortunately but I did foray over to Boots again to see if they had restocked on the 18p ultra towels, and they had! :eek: Got a few more, there were LOOOADS plus they had a good number of other varieties at 33p!

    I also have a tip for anyone who has noticed the half price No7 make-up appearing in their local (it wasn't in mine yesterday but appeared today), I got these vouchers from the ACM....

    2 x 100 points wyb any No7 lipstick
    2 x 250 points wyb any No7 foundation

    ....in two seperate transactions I bought two lipsticks reduced from £10 to £5, and two loose powders reduced from £11 to £5.50. The points worked on the reduced stuff so I essentially paid £4 for each lipstick and only £3 for each powder! :j:j:j

    Hope that helps someone :D:D:D
    im sorry, i thought i pmed you where the plenty was about 5 days ago. check you pms for me

    Have you tried format, paragraph, and in spacing, the before and after boxes should be set at 0, and to the right the line spacing at single, HTH

    Thank you Izzeyb - that has worked a treat. The after box wasn't set at 0 - I must have accidentally changed it. I can now do my Complaint letter !

    I would be here - haven't touched the wine glitch, and had no bavaria (anyone else notice the vouchers for that in the paper today, sales must have gone down!! :rotfl::rotfl:)

    Only problem is I'm addicted to this site so probably need a stint anyway!
