    You'd be surprised dipdap :D I hadn't been since I was a child and an awful lot of it was exactly how I'd remembered. They've stopped the metal tokens and they now have sheets of tickets which are valid for the year :)

    I'm not that old, I only remember the paper tickets :D
    I know last time we went the tickets from the time before were out of date and they exchanged them for new ones so I've kept hold of these ones incase we ever went back and could swap them again. Needless to say they're still sitting here a few years later :rotfl:
    Historic Debt August 2009 = £63,600 10th March 2017 = £0 100% paid all gone!
    Mortgage started June 2015 = £170,000 January 2022 = £134,000
    Saving for Xmas 2022= . . Amazon £55

    As bensonsmum has gone AWOL & I wouldn't like my old mates to miss out, I will break my troth for one parsecond:

    Debenhams Life Insurance on TCB - get £52.50 cashback plus £50 Debs giftcard, need to keep policy in place for 6 months.

    Can easily find policy for £5 / month which equates to a £70+ profit.

    Bye.

    Come back and stay squillion - pretty please :o

    Then you need to send them for retraining ASAP and spend a few hours MSE'ing ;)

    Someone yesterday mentioned T staff keeping PP's left behind at SS tills - Would that not be a sackable offence ?

    Yes it is sackable offence - gross misconduct (daughter works there) they where told when they first started instant pp's that pocketing them was no different to pocketing any money left behind at ss tills.

    After having no luck with tic tacs as they scanned at £1.25 for me the other day, I have today tried
    Chilli sensations @ 1.99
    Haribo milkshake sweets @ 1.00
    Wine gums @ 1.48 :eek:
    Jelly belly @ 89p
    And mega smints @ 1.99 ( just had a thought that these were on 1p list but not sure)
    So all in all a rubbish day for bargains.
    Did get some cushelle thanks to tiger. Hth x
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    The normal jelly bellys were RTC 89p in my store yesterday it is the sour ones that were cheaper. Which ones did you find cjj?

    And at a guess I would say the sensations and wine gums were the bigger sized packs than those glitching by the prices they scanned at. :(
