    FFF have you got any receipts more than 28 days old that you haven't printed? I have jsut found a bunch of Aug receipts and thought I always checked them when I got them, so IF I had then they should show the results but they are all saying it is more than 28 days since your womble/shop so go away and do some gliching shopping. I think one at least was a dosh one or should have been as it was my own shop:( I am gonna print them all in future.

    Try different browsers. I have found when one browser doesn't let me print, I change to another and then it lets me print.

    I write the dates on each set of receipts and paper clip them together and then I print them about 26-27 days after the date on the receipt to avoid getting caught. I instigated this system after losing £25 worth of receipts:mad:

    I check them nearly every night in my concertina file which is next to the PC so I can check and drivel

    This also happened to me with a couple of receipts, 1 was £5 odd and the other was £4 odd, when I checked them I used my first email addy, but when I went to print a few weeks later it came back receipt over 28 days old, (must have used a different email addy.) Checked again using the original email addy and hey presto it worked ok:j

    I've got some books on my ereader and packed one of these http://www.tesco.com/direct/tesco-travelling-vac-pac-bags-2-pack/212-8206.prd?pageLevel=&skuId=212-8206&sc_cmp=pcp_GSF_Home+%26+Furniture+offers_212-8206 with t shirts. Good job they were only £1.50 though as they are a load of carp. I thought it would be like the others where you put the vac to it to suck all the air out, but you have to roll it and squash it. Better than nowt suppose. Now to get my case out:D

    I don't get why they are so nasty. As far as they are concerned they can check the receipts and each stores sales must have shot up this last month. The vouchers don't come out of the stores profits, so it's very strange.
