Thank you both for trying this. I had a day off today so was hoping someone would try out the suggestion of 1 spice and 2 facial (sorry, 50+ pages later I can't remember who suggested it in the first place).

Surprise me - Westie? Out of my 9 successful wombles, 1 was A, 1 was D totalling £3ish and the other 7 totalling £12 came from W. Would have wombled more but the boy racers were sat with their lights on at Maccy Ds and I was getting paranoid!

I notice that you have 2 cars, can you ask your neighbour to tell you the next time they are getting an order, then make sure both cars are not in the drive and when the driver parks over your drive box him in, thats waht i would do and leave them there for hours, next time they might think twice about parking accross your drive

ahhh...this has been going on for months...the red Punto was the car I had earlier this year...the blue Picasso is my current car. Although hubby has a car too, whenever A's deliver he's always at work!!!

But I did mention that to the police that when I was arrested, saying if it wasnt an offence, that next time I'd block them in and see how they liked it.....to which the police advised it would be classed as 'obstructing someone in the course of duty/job role' ....but either way, its not technically an offence, worst case the police will just ask the obstructing vehicle (either mine or theirs) to move!

I also have next doors NHS carers come 4 times a day, and one of those ladies like to block my drive too...she explained its too far for her to walk from outside my house if someones already parked outside next door!! The carers and A's all kindly tell me that if I just come and find them, they'll happily move their vehicle!!!

The day my DD1 partially knocked her tooth out earlier this year was a perfect example of me needing to get out quick...luckily I could. The irony is that was the day I was due back at the police station...when I arrived the officers were debating who's turn it was to make a drink ....using far worse language than I did!!!!

I'm building a little portfolio of pics at the mo ready to email to A's... I have months worth of different vans (photos of the different registration plates as proof), to show this isnt a one-off! I'll get round to it soon...but one driver openly admitted they do it to wind me up :eek: so doubt anything will change. I often leave my own car across the top of my drive to stop anyone else blocking it in the daytime...at least that way I know I can always do the school pickups/drop offs!

eta - Ellejmorgan - lmao...I've recouped my £80 fine from A's.....with interest too

Normally I do ok with wombles but got 3 tonight and nothing - one of them had spent £116!!

One of mine tonight had spent £164.56 and there was not one pence off it. The best womble £10.99 came from a £69 spend - there no rhyme nor reason to it all.

Checking shop from earlier and failed - says I've not got 8 items.

Curiously
Weetabix
Vanish upholstery
Treacle tart
Cake
Ambrosia
Bear YoYO
Bleach
Reduced veg
Diff reduced veg

Maybe the veg didn't count although different has same barcode?? Good job I paid with APGs and coupons, only cost me £3.

omg - a serious trouting for me tonight - loads of staff and security - felt like a crim.

dd was with me and went and sat down because it was taking so long - told me the staff were talking about me - amongst other things they were saying - she is in here all the time - urgh

she told them off - said if you have anything to say about my mother - grow some balls and say it to her face!!!!!!

i have phoned the manager of the store - he said head office was closed and he would call me monday

little comfort

I'm just heading out the door so can't look at this properly

Have a closer look at your APG results page please (on a browser, not an iphone). Some prices in W will be red and some will be black. This red indicates that the items are on multibuy offers in W

If you can highlight which items on your womble had red prices/were on multibuys it will be much easier to work out what the trigger is

1 x Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance Leave-in Conditioner... £3.34 £0.75
2 x Coca Cola (2L) £3.50 £2.50
4 x Heinz Classic Beef Broth (400g) £3.00 £3.00
1 x Heinz Dora the Explorer Multigrain Pasta Shapes in... £0.40 £0.40
2 x Heinz Hello Kitty Pasta Shapes in Tomato Sauce (20... £0.80 £0.80
2 x Heinz Peppa Pig Pasta Shapes in Tomato Sauce (205g... £0.80 £0.80
1 x Walkers Monster Munch Pickled Onion (6x25g) £1.17 £0.75
2 x Fox's Butter Crinkles (200g) £1.00 £1.50
2 x ASDA Chosen by You Topside of Beef (100g) £3.00 £3.00

The above are the "red" items
I'm thinking (as much as anyone with a few voddies can think) the Fox's biccies?

Oh Charming fyfi!:rotfl:
I would say that gives you the perfect excuse for embarrasing them as much as possible. :rotfl:

My dd: Mum will not stop singing please
Me: No why?
DD : it is embarrassing.
Me: I am a mum that's my job !:rotfl:

Your correct,if you look on the yellow sticker it says something about it not comparing with on-line prices.

Yes my local westie - trolley tetrus, loitering to the right of entrance as you face it. Walking the trolley bays.

Loads of drink on the receipts on a saturday and tesco is often cheaper.
