The Good, the Mad & the Lovely

Hello :wave:
Used O2 Priority Moments app for the first time today. I'm not with O2 but I did the workaround with a free O2 sim. Definitely worth installing - I got a £10 gift set at The Fragrance Shop and a £5 facial wash at the Body Shop for free :beer::beer:

Would suggest not trying. To be fair, the acceptance policies are usually good enough without pushing it. As an example, you may find Nouvelle will work for Soft or Softest, as it is not explicit in the description
Self- scan - seem to have different settings in different stores, sometimes in the same store (!), so may prompt even with one voucher, some after a couple.

The Nouvelle coupon says
FREE! 4 ROLL PACK OF NOUVELLE
nouvelle Softest Ever
with a pic of the Softest Ever pack;
though the small print just says "This coupon is for a free £2.29 Nouvelle 4-roll pack" "Nouvelle will redeem this coupon at face value provided it has been accepted as payment against a Nouvelle 4 roll pack"
so it probably depends on how vigilant the SA is being.

For self-scan, some of the coupons (the Nouvelle one for instance) ask for the item price to be entered by the SA/supervisor; I believe that not all stores have the Nouvelle at £2.29, I seem to remember someone reporting here that a Co-op (I think) had it slightly more expensive and the person was asked to pay the difference.

Good bit of reporting Jelly Biactol!
Sk1pt0n was cleared out of Nouvelle last night, even asked if there was any on the delivery that they were bringing out into the store! but I'll keep trying!

If you don't have any joy in Sk1pt)n, I have a couple of coupons left over, so can try and get some in 1lkley (both Mr T and Booths always have had stocks so far), and then hand them over to you at some point.

I have done the pain au chocs many times, they are scrummy when warm or cold, you wouldnt think so when you see how small the bits of chocolate are, but they taste real chocolatey when cooked.
I did notice they had gone up in my local yesterday though, they were £1 last week.

They still compare to Sada at £1
I'm going through a box every 2 days at the mo, they are delish

I had this happen in sainsbobs, an over keen till boy refused my MOC because of the one word difference:mad: the supervisor came along and agreed so I asked him to fetch me the correct ones. He could not find any - not surprising but he graciously took them off the bill anyway :T

No its fine, I am only getting to grips with all of this and coupons, so just buy in my comfort zone and will get the next one is sada. TBH I was more annoyed that they had no more T rolls on the shelf but tomorrow they be replenished or I may not get out because of the gales which have been forecast. There always seems to be a glich of sorts on the go, so look forward to the next one.
I always liked a wee bit of stock in case of emergencies but now I have loads thanks to all those you share on here.
My DIL's mothers has been given share of my glitches and as she is genuinely low in funds she is very grateful but declined the L'pack as she prefers Anchor:rotfl:

Can't post the full list its all jumbled up.

1xCELEBRATIONS LARGE CARTON 380G
£4.00 n/a n/a £3.00
1xTERRYS ORNG MLK XMAS SLEEVE 175G
£2.75 £1.50 £2.50 £2.75
T v A v S v M

Celebrations are not comparing to asda so still cost £2.00 after MSL
Chocolate orange worked.

MSL may pay out £2.10 on £4.20 for 8 diet coke although it compared to sada at £2.50 (maybe 16 cans for £0.40p)

Ooooh that is naughty of mr t... Sorry they didn't work... Mine compared last week..

Afternoon all, I wasn't allowed to use my £3 off £12 dairy spend yesterday as was told by CS that "cheese is not a dairy product"! :rotfl: As it's my local it wasn't worth correcting her as they already hate me using my occasional voucher and just said "wow you learn something new every day"

Well the Government seems to think it is
"...dairy products, such as butter, cheese and skimmed milk powder..."

- not that we should believe everything the Government tells us:)

A question, friend has rung and she thinks her coil has slipped. I think she rang some sort of sexual health clinic but they could not help as they have no doctor at the weekend. Her doctors shut as you would expect.
So I said to go to the walk in clinic. This is now at a and e so she went there as she was in pain.
At a and e she was eventually seen by triage who said she could either go to the walk in clinic queue where the wait was 4 to 6 hours. Or stay in the a and e queue where the queue was 6 hours :eek:
So she gave up and they gave her 2 co codomol.

Anyway coil slippage is it a serious problem or just one of those things that happens?

She is now going to get a doctors appointment on Monday instead.
