    today strike again :j , got a bottle of burberry weekend and a bottle of burberry for men, £10 each, used similar combo as yesterday, also successfully used the rejected john freida coupons today. :D

    i find it a lot less stressful to buy perfume than toiletry because i can use a lot of coupons without bring back too much items to the house, running out of storage space now; also OH stopped saying that i am being greedy on toiletry. :T

    also bought 2 x tisserand lavender oil £4.15 each, use £2 old quit, £2 new quit, 2 x £1 hb, and moc, so they r free :D , read the label and it said they r award winning essential oil and smell heaven, looking forward for a hot lavender oil bath now. it is nice to have a change of the usual tea tree oil.

    If anyone manages to get one of these egg timers spare (would pay p&p of course) or knows where I could get would from could they let me know - would be great for a 7 year old who thinks all she has to do is suck the toothpaste from the toothbrush and then give them a little brush!!!!
    If you don't manage to get a timer from Tesco, I've seen them at B&Q as well - free, obviously (they're supposed to be for timing your shower time, but I'm pretty sure they're 2 minute ones as well). ;)

    I went to tescos to get the aftershave/perfume - it is Fathers Day on 17th June so thought I would treat Mr Welshy anyway, got there only perfume etc behind pharmacy counter. I asked if I could pay at the normal tills and she said no initially, and then said yes as I didnt look like a thief .........

    well what a disaster ........... at the checkouts did my shopping and split it into 2 lots, had several £6 mocs as well as purina ones and my normal healthcare/toiletry combo. Went to one of my usual chaps, all nice and chatty .... everything fine until I handed his over my coupons. Last time, he states I got into trouble because of you (he took a few of the £4 DMs book vouchers) and stated he would not take anything without consulting his superior.

    So I am waiting thinking shall I just say can I leave it or not, but turned around to DD dabbing lavendar oil on her wrist, whilst icing a gingerbread man and drinking a smoothie. So I thought oh well better weather the storm.

    She comes over looks at my vouchers, scans a £6 blue scan on anything from last week voucher, and then sifts through my others, the wine ones were rejected on the basis that 2 vouchers although different worded mentioned the word "new zealand" one was win a hol to NZ, one was buy any NZ wine ........... she hands back alot and mutters that she will have explain this to the cash office.

    I did have a second transaction on the belt but politely asked I said could I leave it as I had overspent. Now just got to explain to OH the large bill

    That's just so stupid and annoying. :mad: I fully appreciate the 'one of each type of coupon' rule in most Tescos, but when the staff can't read and so obviously make up their own rules, that's just mad. :rolleyes:

    Better luck for your next shop, Welshy :)
