    Morning!

    I've had this email too. I only ordered my first ones on Friday, not received them as yet hopefully they will come today and they haven't held them back.

    I wonder if someone tipped them off :(

    same here, only ordered 2 days ago. I left a cross message on their facebook page asking to cancel order and points to be put back on my account.
    If I don't get a response I will ring them.
    If I wanted vouchers in Feb I would order them in Feb :mad:

    I've also had a rant at Marks about something else they have annoyed me about.

    Now I am on a roll and thinking who else needs a tongue lashing this morning. It might be my OH, just rung but no mention of when he is getting back so I think he has forgotten we are supposed to be going out.

    All cats are back on their blankets - bad weather on its way :mad:

  • :oSorry to butt in on the Mr shoes excitement but on hotukdeals there is talk about joining quidco and getting £20 cashback. I don't know how to paste links or anything slightly technical but hopefully someone else will be able to. There seems some confusion as to whether or not we need to make a purchase but the £20 cashback seems to be in the form of a m&s voucher. Hope that makes a bit of sense you ca now see why I don't post very often:o

    Edited to say you have to quote a newspaper as your lead LANCASHIRE TELEGRAPH

    I signed up in both mine and dh name last night,purchased a £1 card and the £20 was payable in both accounts this morning!

    Morning all,
    Hope everyone is well and those taking part in Mr Shoes sales get what they want. I haven't felt well enough to venture out this morning and everything I put in my online basket disappears before I can get to check out. Hopefully I'll feel better later and maybe there will be something left in store.

    Has anyone cancelled a sun perks membership recently, I just cancelled mine and they just took info to cancel without offering the enticements to stay on..............are they getting wiser?

    Buon Giorno a tutti !!!

    We've just got back from our hols in Italy. Mountains, snow, clean air, great coffee... what more could you ask for??? Kids had a great time learning to ski, next year they will be able to ski with us, which will be such fun.

    Happy New year to everyone, I hope you've had lots of good glitches while I was on my jollies.

    Is there anything going on at the mo? I've put this evening aside to catch up properly.

    Xmas Saver!
    The Boots sale makes me chuckle:

    It does always make me laugh that people forget these items have all been on a 3 for 2 deal, so really should all have a third knocked off the price from the top price. So an item that was £30, really cost you £20 in the 3 for 2, and in the half price sale was £15 (saving you a fiver) and is now £9 in the 70% off, saving £11, so just over a 50% reduction on what you have been able to buy the item at since before christmas. Granted it is still a discount, but it is not that good.

    Been to 2 Mr shoes this morning, didn't get much as there didn't seem to be as good things this year.

    I can't believe how greedy some people are, they had towers of stuff.

    I saw one woman standing guard over. at least EIGHT huge instore shopping bags that were overflowing whilst another "runner" brought more over to her!!

    I got a leappad2 for £27 which suited me. :money:

    A few other bits and pieces to put away. Where are all the mahoosive box sets? :(
    Apparently, everybody knows that the bird is [strike]the word[/strike] a moorhen
  • Tresemme 900mls are on£4.99 each or 3 for £10 at asda at the min...

    £2.40 at tesco.

    I wonder if a trigger can be found?
