Good morning everyone and good luck to anyone who is doing their 500 calories today, especially those doing it for the first time, it does get easier honest I normally do a Tue and Thurs but busy this week so Mon Wed for me. Going on a school trip today so have made up a salad in the hope that the sun shines on us and got a lovely Italian style beef stew ready for tea (bbc good food website) 225 calories which i will have with some sweet potato wedges, nom nom, i actually think i eat better on fast days.

So good luck everyone onwards and downwards weightwise.

Just got back from Sains after successfully returning the l'oreal cream :j

Lovely young guy on CS, no probs! My heart was beating fast and I reckon I blushed a bit. Ooops! Still, all fine. Thank you again fuzzgun and everyone else for helpful tips as always.

Couldn't find any emmi coffees as my local Sains is quite small so I thought I'd use the cussons coupon on a 'bump' bath soak that was now 87p. Also got a reduced kids meal for the foodbank thinking yay, I'll have some overage. SS till did not like my coupon and the girl on SS said I wasn't allowed to get the full £1 off. She took off 87p manually. So still good because I got it for free but a little bit annoyed I didn't get that 13p overage off of my other item.

What have your experiences been with Sains and overage? Should I have gone to a manned till?

I "bought" some hand sanitiser reduced to 40p - went through SS till and coupon scanned fine at £1 :j

Don't blame you but try and look at the positives, hopefully they will find out what's up and get you sorted. Must be rough for you being stuck in hospital. Hopefully you'll get home soon :A
