    They didn't even blink. :beer:

    Nice one. :rotfl::rotfl:

    I was reading the t&c. I doesn't mention anything about bonus points but it say's, valid on your total shop. It is a little misleading. :(

  • Evenin' all :)

    Trying to decide whether to go and see if my A's have restocked the JC's. I did have a looksie along the top shelf ;) But couldn't see any up there, so can't decide if it's worth the trip or not!

    Evening all -


    We have had quite an eventful day, DD saved up all her birthday money to buy a tablet - and bought a Kindle Fire HD before researching that it does not use the google play store - promting much crying and screaming. Argos wouldn't take it back as she had opened it - so we ended up raiding the Christmas fund to buy her another and now I have a Kindle Fire HD - I hope its useful for my OU materials, as right now, it seems like a very expensive lesson learned.

    May I add, I didn't have any input when buying the Kindle, my husband thought he could do it on his own, I made sure I purchased the second! :sigh:

    Anyway, I thought I would drop by to mention (if it hasnt been said already) If your Tosco has a RBS cashpoint, if you request a printed statement of any sort it has a scanable coupon for £1.00 Off certain Dove products.

    Hope this helps
    Wishing you all good luck!
