    I know!! Shocking isn't it. I stopped buying single apples as fillers as they are so expensive.

    going back a few years ago i emailed a few perfume companys and asked could they give me some samples to put in my wedding favor bags and i explained how good advertising it would be and id mention them in the speach, i got estee lauder beautyful in glass bottles minis and lacoste touch of pink in glass bottle also got lots of normal sampls from companys and sent bout 50 emails and got about 15 replys of yes

    also email choclate companys about 7 and got 1 reply from green and blacks and they gave mini bars 120 bars to cover all my guessed , i emailed lots of diffrent companys but most said no but i got lucky with a good few

    Hi big Dave, I'm right here.

    I've had a really busy week so haven't been around much to insult you.:D

    The good news is........ I did a multibuy shop at 08:28 this morning so the results are due in a few minutes.:)

    The bad news is........ You and I are so rubbish at test shops that it is bound to go wrong again.:rotfl:
    We were fired or have you forgot kiss of death to a glitch the pair of us :o

    Thank you to whoever said yesterday about the details on T's till spits being the same as on the receipt...(sorry I can't remember who it was)

    I just had 57p back off the details from a £6 off £40 womble with no receipt with it :j:j:j

    The massive womble I took ages retrieving with tweezers had nothing on at all...

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Lol talking about tweezers, I wish I had a tiny pair as I ve managed to get a cotton bud stuck in my ear. I know these shouldn t be used but when you have ears like mine that drive me crazy itching all the time it's hard. Anyway I went to the outpatients at the hospital this morning and they can't see anything:eek:so I have to go to the e.n.t. Clinic next week Great.

    Just managed to catch up before going to help mum with her lunch, I feel like superwoman today. Perhaps I should get out my 4p red tights to wear today. :D

    Hope everyone else has a good day today, and sun shining for them too. :)

    Only if you have the t-shirt with a big S on it! Take care of yourself.
  • How cruel am I? I did two A shops earlier (an AvM and an AvT). It took all my concentration to get fillers/correct product etc while handling both kids. DS wanted some yogurts but I didn't want it messing up my targeted shop. Instead of arguing, I said yes then secretly gave back to SA. He has just gone in the fridge asking for his yogurts and I've lied and said we must have lost them along the way blah blah blah. :rotfl: :D

    One of my receipts on Quidco is saying "Items Ineligible". Can't remember what it was now, nevermind.
    They don't seem as good as TCB..
