    Well, I wanted to get more wine , but managed to sprain my ankle so I won't be going anywhere today.
    At least my second wine/choc shop on saturday worked...

    Awe, hope it's not too painful. :)

    I was playing around trying to get the coupon printer software to work on IE so I could print more coupons and came across this site:
    http://www.benedelman.org/news/082807-1.html

    It seems that the coupon printer is not as benign as we'd like to think and it may be that troubles installing are related to the way that it implants (for want of a better word) itself on your pc.

    Do I really want free coupons that badly?:eek:

    It's only a game

    Sorry to be a nuisance but I saw the wine this am in a's & bought 3 also got fruit & veg. Had 7 things & the wine but apt has said I haven't got enough comparable items.

    Could anyone advise me what other items I should buy.

    Thankyou


    Asda are almost as unreliable as Tesco regarding what counts as 8 items. Its easy to be wise after the event but, personally, I always chuck in a couple of extra cheapy items - instant custard or batter mix at just a few pence - to allow for their mood swings.

    Took the bull by tyhe horns and returned my whole shops (2) to Mr A. CS were very nice and said I could reurn it all and buy it again with a few extra items but had no idea how to do it. 3 people later, I said 'why dont you refund me to a gift card keep items here, I get a couple more things and come back to pay with the gift card?' Lady then just gave me cash. I got a few more cheap items and the returned items and Bobs your Auntie. Lovely CS at Vent**a Park. Apg back just now so happy, wine still good to go.

    Just a quick question. Can the APG's be traced back if you use an unmarked receipt for a second go? The CS didn't mark my receipt today so wondering if its safe to use it again?
    Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

    Not been able to get to asda today for any wine :(.

    Time split between dashing to my mums (due to the useless flippin carers, might as well do the job myself!) and helping OH with tiling the ensuite (been on hold for over a year, and he's made his mind up he wants to finish it, but he's a bit slap dash when it comes to lining the tiles up, so he spreads the adhesive and I level the tiles;))

    Good news is, I managed to get a wheelchair from a local seller on ebay, picking it up tonight so fingers crossed I can get my mum out and about for some fresh air (and thankfully able to get an ambulance to her hospital appointment on tuesday)

    Apparently if you can walk a couple of steps inside with a walking frame, and you are then wheeled about on a commode to the bathroom etc, you dont meet the criteria for a wheelchair anymore! Its seen as a social need. I call it 'independence, opportunity and quality of life' myself.

    Asked mum how she felt about me buying one from ebay, she agreed and said she would pay up to £400:eek:, as it was worth it for her to be able to get out. Managed to snipe it for £62;)...Im even MSE with aids and equipment now!!!

    Keeping my fingers crossed that I'll have a chance to get wine tomorrow, pending no other disasters:).
