    I've got no one to send a card to.



    ........cheaper all round for me :T

    I don't send cards either. None at all, and neither do the kids. They take sweets into school for their friends instead. I can't stand the waste and anyone who would otherwise send me a card knows that and doesn't bother :o

    without giving away too much that's logged too, now don't keep asking u r making yourself look suspicious, lol.

    I don't really give a monkeys wotnot how suspicious I look - I haven't got an RBS account:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:! I still reckon that anyone who had a failed cash point transaction yesterday could then claim that they'd missed out on an online bargain.

    Really? Wow! Go you.

    I could have taken the cheaper option and emailed everyone but had loads of Xmas cards to use as they were in my room taking up space. ;)

    How did you manage for £0, did 2 orders for £44 and £42 perfume, but had to spend £12 each to get them. Both dispatched so happy as each with a free gift and ordered gift sets for ££8.50 with them which looked like real size products :rotfl:we will see.

    Auu1 very sorry to hear about your family friend. I don't think there is a right time of year to die in such circumstances, so tragic :(

    Got a £20 Gift Card from Tosco for refusal of the Birds Eye Voucher and the way it was handled:)

    Sada had the £4.00 Kg beef in yesterday, but it was clearly labelled as RUMP, not Toprump or anything else.
    Never seen this before. would be great if it is. Got 3 and am hoping it will make steaks, absolutely no idea how I am going to fit in freezer 1,2 or 3 :D

    I had the products listed below for free I still had to pay for 3 half price roll on deodorants and shipping

    ordered twice one with the first item of just over £80 second order with first item of just over £40 both items not advertised as sets

    so they sent the items below free

    I have checked the size and price from barcode numbers on the dispatch note

    and happy days all full size products one tub of face cream at half price is £40 on its own so all good as it was free :j:j

    Also im the biggest chicken out, yesterday and today, both different stores could have had DTD lamb:o but didnt:eek:

    Bubbs:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: Repeat after me. Would Mr T apologise for taking extra money from you? Would Mr T chase after you and tell you that he'd overcharged you?
    When you've got the answer, don't be a chicken next time.:D

    You should have got 1 each of the two DIFFERENT ES chocololates. 2 of the same type trigger the BOGOF.
