    Bookshelf Queries


    The books were in boxes for such a long time (too long, really), then last year I finally got my act together and bought some bookcases (Ikea, off ebay) and got all the books on the shelves. It's only a small room (it used to be the kitchen, would you believe) but it's my own little private heaven.:A


    Cookery books on the smallest shelf nearest the camera on the right; the blue folder is for my recipe notes and menu plans.


    I know what you mean; it bugged me too, once I'd taken the photo:o - but I didn't fancy a game of Toilet Roll Jenga.


    Nouvelle News


    Mine were/are all for the 16th.


    Depends, usually 4 at a time, just with the coupons and no purchases, so nowt to pay; I've not had any problems at the checkouts (usually the manned ones), a couple of times the checkout person has called the supervisor as they're not sure how to enter the coupons, but never been queried. In fact, a couple of the checkout staff have asked for details of how to get the coupons for themselves. The coupons are all in the same name, and have different barcodes.
    I'm fortunate to have 4 or 5 outlets close to hand, and can visit some of them twice a day. In some of them, I make two 'purchases', one after the other, at different checkouts.
    So what you can see in the pic has taken me about three days to accumulate.
    I always report back on stock levels here, and never empty the shelves at any particular store.

    You are lucky. I ve had a few at my Tesco s but was told they don't accept them yesterday huh. I phoned customer service or head office very sorry etc and I ll be receiving a gift card in the post , went in today and used my last four no trouble at all :D
