I got the knife out of a knife and fork set taken off me at Edinburgh airport because it was 1mm to big.

HC was savvy enough to remove the knife from his and put it in the kitchen drawer when he first got it.:beer:

They still insist on taking me bag apart when they see the set on their scanners.:(

For once the OH has been helpful!!! :eek: He was at CS exchanging a fryer that was missing a lid and overheard an DTD.
He came over to me and said all excited "hey you know those headbands you bought for holiday ages ago, well someone has just got money back for them."
So in another tesco that we popped to he showed me the offending headbands.... they are a blue and grey headband - Hair gallery Strap headbands and are meant to be 3 for £3 - they go through at £3 each so £9 - meaning DTD of £12.

The muppet still said to me though "if you're going to do that DTD then I'm not coming to CS with you, I'll sit in the car!" That's usually the response if I use more than one coupon! :rotfl:

Oh, I've got the plug for my phone, but no cable. Now where are they? I must have about 50 of them too but right now this moment I cannot put my hands on one.:rotfl:

You said toothpaste but not toothbrush? Hairbrush? Razor? Shaving foam?

Any ex smokers on the thread?

I havn't had a cig since Sunday night, feel really determined to quit for good, but..

If anyone could advise me how to not eat everything in sight I would be really grateful! :eek:

Well done you - i haven't had a cigarette in just over two months and have to admit i have have gained 24lbs:eek::eek::eek: so if you find an answer please share with me - i am determined that i will not smoke again i must admit to fancying one every now and then but i will NOT have one and now i have started a healthy eating plan as was totally disgusted with myself when i jumped on my friends scales and realised how much weight i have gained in such a short amount of time - i now weigh half as much again as my OH so am determined to do something about it. Well done on taking the right path and please let us know how you get on xxxx

Steak pie and condom:D:p

I'd rather take a steak pie and used condom, there would be more protein in them than the muck Air France have the cheek to serve up.:eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl:

re the John frieda issue - difficult one.

Ideally the girl at CS would want to see the 2 JFs you bought and then do a return on the 2 John Friedas. Then she would put three through the till. So if you have 2 John Friedas that match the barcodes on the receipt and can show the girl these then that is OK.

So its a case of identifying what is on the receipt via the barcodes. If you can do this and have the right JFs in your shampoo stockpile to take then its worth doing.

If you do have the right 2 JFs in your stockpile you might ask the CS girl to do a straight refund or to give you a gift card so you could buy them again with your next shop.

Also is it a cash transaction - might make it easier.

I was too impatient to wait for the APG. I saw "shampoo £5" and "Conditioner £5" on the receipt and got excited about what it could be

I plugged the barcode from the receipt into google and just guessed the last digit in the same way as we do with clubcards on the PP site.

When JF came up as a result I went to MSM to see if I would get an APG compared against T or S and thats when I saw the "3 for £10" promo was running

I quite often google barcodes. Does that make me sad
