    I didn't know that. OH can't be bothered with the cinema - enjoys it when he is there but not the waiting/paying/trailers part. we have a humongous TV at home, with speaker surround etc and so watch a fair few movies that way. Very :money:
    Oh yeah, I'm back! :D

    Afternoon all!

    Well my morning could have gone better!
    :eek::eek::eek:

    I smashed the screen on my iPad :( I opened the passenger door and it slid out of my bag onto the concrete, the smart cover coming off as it fell!

    Mind you I am getting a brand spanking new one for less than half price in about 2 days thanks to Apple's replacement scheme, so at least I'm not forking out £429 for a new iPad2 + 3G :money:
    :eek: but then :j :rotfl:. phew. do you pay for their replacement sheme? I assume it's an insurance thing.

    DS dropped my iphone 4 months, smashed the back of it but it works fine. it looks like a design case really as it's all neat and symmetrical he he.
    T's have got a zanussi Hoover dam7635 with old SEL £59 but scanning at £142 just got paid to take it away bc ends 1579. Will post pic when home

    wow, well done WW.:T

    good afternoon
    there was a list of M and s ss tills but now i cant find it
    R@mford has ss tills and plenty of leaflets
    They are located at the main tills in the food hall, the cashiers were giving them out to everyone still. I just asked and they gave me a leaflet before i shopped.
    managed to get 2 lots of £6 meal deals and 1 lot of 3 for £6 ready meals (lasagne, risotto and others) then i got a bag of apples to make it over £25 total paid £9.19 for 10 items :j
    luckily I had a reusable bag with me as they charge 5p a bag :eek:
    but i can confirm the green redeem and instore still work
