    I've sampled a glass of the wine this eve given to me by my neighbours for looking after their rabbit while they were away - how we all laughed when I told them how DS had been playing in their garden, came running back into our garden saying ''mummy, jimmy in the garden'' cue me moving faster than Kelly Holmes and chasing it round and round :mad:.
    I only just caught it before it properly escaped - I had visions of trying to replace it ''meet the parents style'' ;):eek:

    Anyway, the wine is Maison Fort du Roi Chablis from T's, and very nice it is too :)

    Had a little thought to myself earlier today. I know... I should be careful :p

    Ts PP results were emailed to me from my online shop that was delivered yesterday. The PP results are for the whole shop that was delivered but you may remember that I sent a gammon joint back. The gammon still appeared on the PP results though.

    Do you think that you could include in the order a couple of vastly overpriced items to get a good PP voucher and then send them back with the driver? I guess if you did it regularly something may flag up with Ts, but sending something back that you have since discovered is much cheaper elsewhere would be a plausible reason to return expensive goods.

    Anyone have any thoughts?

    I wondered about this when got the DTD meat last month but they always seem to come up with n/a against competitors so no pp - so think they always get round the meat.

    But yes on expensive non perishables - go through till pp then return ...? Likewise on line. Technically it can be done but I think may put you above radar? I don't live near enough to do tho - but also wouldn't want to risk them withdrawing pp.

    Talking about above radar - must share, went in last week and checked out the meat (not stroking it TM, but maybe an adoring look when saw a misprice) pork loin labelled incorrectly. However I needed electrical stuff from upstairs and worried meat would get too warm if picked up then so went upstairs first and knew to stop off via meat aisle on way out.... Anyhow .... all meat had in store extra yellow stickered labels over misprice on my return :( . So either an MSEr beat me to it, well done :T (that'll teach me I'll take my chances with bacteria in future), or I was clocked looking at the meat and lingering too long near the misprice :rotfl:. Saw meat manager he was definitely busy but know he recognised me from the 4 jointer last month. :D
