My friend was asking about this shopscansave app, I have no idea, but thought I would ask you lot on here, she has downloaded it but has no idea what to do after that. I have read about you lot on here doing it and getting kitkat and coffee and different things and wondered if you could tell me in lamen terms how to do it so I can pass on to her.

God that sounds a lot of rambling for simple enough question.!!!

Many thanks.

It's on both the ICBINB's and all 3 Oykos although the pear is coming up as 39p lol...

What's the best way to do this, presumably if the prices update later or tomorrow that's what your card would get charged?

How could you do an order without that happening?

Oh I feel like perkypam now all these questions!

You wouldn't be able to cancel that late but you could just return unwanted items to the driver/at the click & collect point

If you change your mind

If you change your mind, we offer a refund or exchange of certain goods within certain time periods (please see below).

"Product Period for Return

Perishable goods (e.g. food, fresh flowers) Hand back to the driver at the time of delivery or member of staff at collection (as applicable)

Non-perishable goods (e.g. toiletries, cleaning products) Hand back to driver at time of delivery or member of staff at collection (as applicable) OR Bring to a Tesco store within 28 days of delivery along with proof of purchase "

Your card would however be charged and it can take 2-3 days to be refunded, but if you can afford being out of funds for a day or two it is probably worth the punt.

Also, I have not collected an order before and they have refunded the whole amount including the delivery charge, but again it took 2 days..

Warning possible tmi lol... That alone will probably have more of you reading it:) Haemorroid... Don't know if its the right spelling. Anyway I discovered a lump " down there " on Sunday so had a google as one does and decided it was either a Haemorroid or an abscess but recommended to visit doctor to make sure.

I was taking my grandson Riley to the drs yesterday morning so I had a brainwave. I d take a pic of it with my iPad and show him as well as getting Riley sorted. What a palaver that was taking a pic. I didn't t want to show anything else just that part:). Managed in the end. So I go in armed with my iPad to see a locum I'd never seen before and after the initial hello s I say would you mind having a quick look at this please and showed him my pic:eek: well figured it was better than showing him it in real life at that time.

After presumably getting over the shock he said it was a Haemorroid. Great I thought. I ve never had one before so my question is does anyone have any experience of these and if so what did you use to get rid or are they a permanent fixture once one has one. I'm not sure how I got it but my cycling on a spin bike at the gym for quite a while leaves a lot to be desired. The saddles are so uncomfortable .

Thanks:)

Catching up and jumped ahead to reply. Sorry but you had me rolling in the aisles then mental picture of position you need to get into to take picture of bunch of grapes!

My excuse is I have ulcerative colitis so sense of humour is very much in the scatogical area :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

From my experience piles come and go, they can give you cream that shrinks them but you still have 'tags' (micro piles) and they don't hurt. Laughter aside they can become really painful, glad you got it sorted quickly.

Only one lol and it seems a bit smaller today actually. Yes I needed quite a few attempts to get a perfect pic that didn't reveal too much even on a pic:D
