    It`s nice to be important, but its more important to be nice.
    The world is full of people throwing stones at us. Its what you do with them that counts. Build a wall or build a bridge.

    LOL, I got trouted at Tesco the other day for the opposite reason. They said they only take Safe Coupons, but strangely they did accept my foil Flora MOC.

    Oh, guess what, I've just posted (above) saying as much. Yet again, Mr Savvy is right and 'everyone else' is just so inconsistent.

    Make up 'rules' as they go along and change them to suit themselves and their own position (i.e. whatever their own position changes into at the time, shortly after, when questioned, and then they decide, retrospectively, to change the rules, always to suit them and not the person asking the question logically). In other words, their original 'rule' was itself made up, on the spot, without any thought or thinking through of its logical consequences. Instead of admitting they are wrong, it's simply changed, to suit, to something else!:(:(:rotfl::rotfl: Mr Savvy far better and correct again!

    It is indeed very 'strange' - that is, when analysed from any correct, logical point of view. However, the whole point is that it's nothing to do with logic or about having any consistent approach. It's simply made up by haphazard individuals on the ground, who simply change it to suit and to match their own illogical and irrational emotions of whatever they happen to be at the time, that fluctuate without pattern or consistency, under which they can simply do as they please in their wholly illogical, completely strange and, above all, inconsistent (on any logical analysis) way.

    I was trouted last week in my Saisbobs with Nouvelle safe coupons they couldn't take them so I told them I didn't want the Nouvelle and had to go to CS with guy muttering because he had to re do my other shopping and take other coupons off I had :D

    Got my Nouvelle in Mr T's

    :rotfl::rotfl:Serves them right:p - shouldn't have refused your coupon then should they?:D

    Also, about time people in stores worked at our convenience rather than the other way round. Ooh, I'm getting my cage rattled a bit aren't I? Well, nice to back!:D Might go and get round to sorting out my list posts at some time or other.:rotfl::):rotfl::rotfl:

    Well I really @rsed up my Mr T meal deal shop:eek:
    2 mashed pots were in my 'muggle' shop, but SA said I had got everything for 4 meal deals in first shop?? No I hadn't!

    Off to customer services with my 2 shops, receipts and 2 mash that hadn't gone through... well what a palaver :rotfl:
    15 mins later they "voided off" all my meal deal items, but not the fillers, decided they had to get the mash with 'finest meal deal' on them (so lost the deal on those) but somehow ended up paying in total £22.22 for 4 meal deals, a bag of lemons, and 3x 10p sweets.. have £1.23 coupon...there was only 1 lasagne and no pies & I
    bought the wrong s0dding wine!!
    Still think I got a bargain:o
    In other shop used moc for fairy liquid, for £2, they are currently 24£2 and an extra 20p to be had from quidco.

    Give me another 6 months and I might get it right!:rotfl:

    At least you know where you went wrong... I still often scratch my head at things that work/don't work!

    Did you buy 1 chocolate orange? I was planning to do that. Hmmm !

    Edit: Ah, I now see you bought 2. I think buying 1 will give a better return although it goes against the grain declining a free chocolate orange, LOL.

    I was hoping to get one chocolate orange and one other variety but none stocked in mine :( I decided to get 2 anyway as my grand total would be no more - affected my TPP but as I only have one conditional spend and that des not start until the 16th - getting to a specific total does not matter.
