He didn't notice until he left the shop, when he checked his receipt, as bought doritos and dips etc. Went back in and got his overcharge refunded, I told him to ring cs tomorrow for a gift card

BTW This was an ex Netto
Edit - He's just told me it was on a yellow ticket roll back
I can confirm this wine is still scanning at 4.98 this morning. Went to cust services and was refunded my overcharge. I asked if I should have a £2 gift card, was told we are no longer allowed to give these out as it is not store policy. Instead was given 3 x 50p smiley faces which are the same, still 50p short but didn't argue! Just got off the phone to sada cs and was told it sounds like the store needs a little re-training. I said I didn't want to cause a fuss but £2 gc on its way

Afternoon:)
Very soggy here. last nights snow dripping all over the place.
After a whole morning of stepping over dishwasher parts, the conclusion is that the re-circulation pump?? has gone:( I did find a replacement pump but it's £109:eek::eek: Not worth it for a 6 year old washer IMO....so I'd better have a look to see if there's any good deals around. I'll be so glad when this month comes to an end....it's been a very expensive one:(
TM Oz is gorgeous and I love his story:)
Hope everyone is well0 -
edit:3Dogs , u are lurking...come on say ello:p
I was in bed asleep at 2am honestly, still showing green button as didn't log out, I never do
sorry, I was in bed. As much as it seems I am always on here, I do have to have a bit of kip sometimes
So a quick tip for you if you end up on the main board again (and I still don't know why that happens from time to time!) is to click on the expired button. Once a certain number of people have done that it automatically moves it to It's Gone and you'll be back in your comfort zone
Please Miss, I clicked expire Miss, I did Miss, I is a good girl Miss

Anyway, afternoon guys, we ended up with about an inch more snow but melting quickly in the sun
Truly Madly, love your Oz and his story, he does sound quite a character. I had a black cat in my teens, yes I can remember that far back, and I called her Blackso coz she was so black

Dove Beauty Finish Clutch Bag with Products inside now £2.50 at Sada
Sorry if already posted, but haven't caught up from last night. Forgot to say earlier when I mentioned about the wine, the little black clutch bags are reduced further. They contain a Compact Mirror, a 250 ml bottle of Summer Glow & Shimmer Beauty Body Lotion (Normal to Dark Skin) and a 150 ml can of Beauty Finish Anti-Perspirant Deodorant.
Just checked the beauty shelf and the Body Lotion is currently £5 and the Deo is £2.59, so that's a really good saving even without the bag and mirror. HTH:happylove Nanny to 2 Cherubs :happylove0 -
