Just about my ds and school I bored everybody with it the other day. Things have got a bit worse and quite a lot of agencies involved which is a good thing but all the children in his class have started saying things now and parents completely avoiding us.
Had to take DD to Great Ormond Street Hospital yesterday about her eyes as has a squint and surgery May 2011 but eye sight is still very poor and nearly blind in her left eye. I have to go back in a couple of months for some more tests. Just a bad week I don't thinks things can get much worse. xxx Thanks for asking xxx

Sending big hugs x

hope this helps some other peeps. this was a AvS shop this morning

Wow that's a fantastic shop.
Do you have to add fillers or all those items enough.
Would it be ok to leave the sweetners out and replace with say another red highlighted item?
Also how much roughly is the APG on that one please.

TIA:)

PS Anyone know if there is still any cheese glitching? Desperately need cheese. Stronger the better :rotfl:

I underspent on a voucher by £5 (ish) this morning and asked for the outstanding amount to be put on a gift card. I was told that they did not do that.

Assuming that they needed a spot of training, I called HO just now and they have confirmed that underspends are not put on a Gift Card.

I have just checked on the APG T&Cs and I can't find any mention of underspends going on a gift card either. I am sure the following T&C clause (point 15) used to mention it:

Claims will be made via voucher (in store) or e-voucher (online). You must ensure that you retain your original receipt as vouchers are not valid without the original receipt. In store, vouchers (together with the original receipt) can be redeemed off the cost of your next shop at the checkouts, or alternatively (again, together with the original receipt) be redeemed at the customer service desk, if you are spending less than the value of the voucher.

The above is what is currently on the web site.

Can anyone shed any light on this for me?

Any help would be much appreciated. TIA[/QUOTE]

Sorry, should have made it more clear, CS told me that I could not get the underspend on an Asda Gift voucher. Also note the T&Cs do not mention anything about Asda gift vouchers, whereas I am sure they have done in the past.

Just used the power mop for the first time and i'm quite impressed. Gonna have to stock up on the wipes tho . It says in the instructions 1 pad should do 3 furnished rooms, yeh if the furniture covers virtually all the floor :rotfl: then again I can't remember the last time I cleaned the floor

Anyone know if they do any different scents as i'm not too fussed on this one

Afternoon, got to sort out my house insurance but need to find out when I had the work done on my kitchen, does it matter if I get the date wrong as long as I report it? I THINK it was in 2009......

Had similar sit with ceral going through cheaper, didnt realise, scanned voucher, sa authorised it, it gave me 64p change!

On another note, in diff store, i had a voucher in my hand, security guard and side kick saw it. She got on phone, not knowing mum was a few steps behind me.

Mum comes around the corner, " oh, someones introuble. That woman is on the phone saying someones using 'one'. But making it look like a real shop"

We go around corner, there they are, so i back track and run over her feet because she is right up my rse.

So blatent. I ring asda house whilst standing next to them. I whisper loudly into phone is that asda house? And that i am being followed around the store because sec guard saw my voucher. Smile in direction of sec guard. Tell man at asda house, its only for £6 ( fluffed shop).

Dont see sec guard again until i leave. Where she has back to me and is again blatently talking about a phone call from asda house re a complaint, laughing with duty manager at the 'stupid cow'.

I couldnt help myself". Up i trotted. Tapped her on shoulder and said, im glad i amused her and i would be back in a few days to do a shop and if i could amuse more staff, please let me know.

Charming! Well done in standing up for yourself and happy birthday!

Good Morning and Hello from a lurker ! :j

Never posted in the last few weeks, as a) it took ages going through the registration system on my phone and b) it was like a rugby scrum in here sometimes :eek:

Anyhow, tons of thanks for everyone who contributed to the wonderful glitch, and im sure sada will not lose out in the long run, as I for one have noticed such wonderful customer service not just in store but also the stories of head office. Never do I have so many people be cheery on my tesco shop thats for sure !

One trout the other day on a higher value, but I visited customer services before I went shopping, claiming ignorance on 'what do I do as I read in the paper it was capped' and told by the manager it was fine. SA on checkout refused, I demanded the manager who told her to put it though.
My local don't have many of us I think

For those thinking of healthier fillers with kids, the fruit bags, the apple and grape etc, are 5 for £1.50 at the moment, and of course if you choose 5 different thats pretty much your fillers sorted. I used it last night and will use again for kidlets.
Iams, flash wipes, cereal all worked on a midnight shop.

Anyways, just a hello, a thanks and a boo !

Now this is the kind of newbie we like, a proper introduction and a hello! Not being sarky here, we've had a LOT of newbies just logging on to ask questions and take take take, it's nice to have the good type joining again!

Oh and welcome to the forum! :D:D

Good morning all!


Hope you all slept well, personally I had a very disturbed night in which I wet the bed - but not in the traditional way!

I always take a drink to bed with me because I snore like a beast in a cave and wake up several times during the night with a dry mouth. Well at one point I must have half-sat up, got my drink, taken a mouthful then fallen back to sleep - still with drink in hand. Soon woke up when it slipped sideways and drenched the mattress though :rotfl:

So at about 2.30am a very sleepy and bemused tyzer was changing the sheets and turning the mattress

:rotfl::rotfl: sorry.. I had to laugh as it reminded me of when I was pregnant with DD1.... I had really bad heart burn and it had kept me awake for nights on end. One night I woke up, took a sip of water, then placed the full glass on the top of my chest to try and 'cool' the heart burn down....must have fell back to sleep with it there and rolled over or moved, cos the next thing I was soaking wet through and ranting like a loony accusing DH of throwing a glass of water over me in the night!!! :rotfl::rotfl:
