Still here, so much for going out!! It's fatal for me to go online in the morning. I get so engrossed in looking for bargains, and before I know it half the day has gone!
Forgot to say that Currys have the cupcake machine in pink reduced to £4.99. Look for code number STCM001 Sweet Treats Cupcake maker - pink. Would make a nice prezzie for less than a fiver.

Has anyone else seen the £5 Andrex coupons on Ebay?
They say they are high quality internet downloadable coupons, but they look identical to the ones they sent me when I made a complaint.
I think they have just photocopied an original coupon, and they have sold hundreds.
No wonder we are having trouble getting genuine internet coupons accepted in our stores.
I haven't used an internet coupon in my A's since I was refused 1 ww and 1 reloaded coupon in November.

my asda have said they now reject any coupon for a £xx off any product but will accept a voucher for 1 off an item
this is due to not being able to redeem the vouchers with manufacturers

Thanks hun, sorry to hear you've got the lurgy, hope it's better soon. Try Robitussin cough medicine, works better than anything else. I knew you hadn't gone away, saw your post on here, hope you had a good Christmas.
Have decided to do duck with cherry sauce as DH doesn't like the seeds :eek:
When are you back at work?

Back on Wednesday, had a quiet xmas, Claire n Carl in Dominican so just has Adam. Dad came over for a few hours but it's really difficult at this time of year as all the festivities include food and drink which obviously he cannot participate in.
Have a lovely new year x

Hi Tinyshoes, I hope you are well. Yes I have used the voucher on sale items these are not excluded it you T&C on the back of the card. I hope you have good time spending it. forgot to say it the store has made up the bags for sale these are not included.

Thanks streetlights, I'm keeping well thankyou, I'm even more excited to use my £15 one now. :T Got caught out trying to use my O2 code on a "made up" offer before xmas, glad I have waited to use glamour one, more for my money.

:( As if 2012 has not been bad enough, I wont chronicle it all now but some of you know it has, I have just heard that a friend that I've known forever has passed away from Ovarian Cancer.

What makes it even harder is that we dont live that close anymore but I was the first person she told & I went to her first chemo with her & looked after her afterwards I encoraged her to tell her friends & neighbours down there & if they offered help she should accept it but as time went on she didnt want me to go down & didnt even want to talk to me on the phone, & she also didnt want any of our mutual friends to know she was ill so I've had to avoid everyone

So upset tonight

So sorry to hear your sad news you were obviously a very special friend that she could trust her secret with :A x

Sorry to say no. Mine was refused last Monday, and when I queried it I was told they stopped taking them the day before:mad:
EDIT. saying that, T's are so fickle and disorganised it could be that another store may take them still. Probably depends on if it's Wednesday, the manager had a good lunch break, the CSA woke up late and is peed off, the sky is purple etc etc, you get the drift :D:D

Thanks for this. I will ask at customer services before I shop to save any embarrassment at the till, although where I live it is usually A's that cause the most embarrassment.
