    What's the difference between these receipts?
    Bottom one was fine but the top one came back 'not enough items':mad:

    Was one of the confecs a fudge? I remember reading ages ago to avoid them as they don't show as an item on the comparison.

    Hope you cat appreciates the full price Iams at least! :undecided

    A fantastic singer and seemed to be a genuinely nice guy, was a Special Night a while back on BBC4 and he came across really well.

    I do very similar. We are supposed to work days/afternoons but as we work with a big oven we do 12hrs days/nights 3 days a week ususally tue/wed/thur and half a shift every other week to make up the hours. As I've worked so many nights tho I now owe 14 hrs :eek:, will make most up next week as I will be in training 1 day too:D

    Was it the 33% extra domestos? as that has a different barcode to the one without the 33% or could it be the sweets, i've had them lump "confectionary" together before if they were the same price.

    So every five vouchers gets you 85% off one set - is it a four piece set?
    No, Mr A, that is NOT 'Great news'!!:D

    Wombling totals: Oct = £243.32 - £93.32 over target!
    Nov Wombling Tally: £27.36 so far... behind target :(
  • A quick update

    The consultant had a prod around and apparently it's not a hernia, it was one of my pistachios :eek:

    He said no need for a scan just carry on as normal , so I said I can't carry on as normal if I can't even walk a hundred yards without being in agony, and the co-codamol i'm taking hardly touches the pain.
    So he is sending me for a scan.

    I just hope the scan shows something .

    After that went into the O2 shop and got a free set of headphones, went to millies cookies and got 4 free cookies courtesy of 02. Then went into clas olsen and used a £5 voucher ( on phone) and paid £2 cash for a kettle courtesy of the wrapp app.

    Then got onto the wrong bus and had a mini tour of Cardiff :rotfl: went to A's and did a small cleaning shop and also bought the flash power mop. No cheap gammon :(
    Then onto T's , no 4p socks but Sam Warburton was there signing autographs and having his photo taken :). The queue was too long so we didn't hang around.

    The 3 JF glitched and the Rice pud went through at full price.

    Just to double check, you said the bottom one was fine? If so the only difference is the top one has Pledge wipes. Had a look on MSM and I can't see any at £1.50. Maybe they're not comparing but I don't know as I've never tried any.
