    Nothing earth shattering but I got a few bargains in T today

    Only a couple of these were in the clearance bins, most were on clipstrips throughout the store ;)

    9E73C4A7-7CD5-4C7D-A83D-F62F89781F44_zpspiby97tc.jpg


    Bird themed gift wrap (1 sheet/1 tag) 10p - BC 8591
    Red/White Parcel gift wrap (2 sheets/2 tags) 35p - BC 9307
    Child/Baby on Board sign 5p - BC 6774
    Hello Kitty Air Freshener 5p - 2 designs BC 0151 and BC 0173-
    Pack of 3 bubble wands 5p - BC 7603
    Giftwrap pack (1 sheet, 1 blank greetings card & envelope, 1 tag) 5p. - Choice of boys or girls design, both have exact same BC 4285

    I predict I will be giving these bubble wands away in party bags for the next few years at least :o :rotfl:

    This is why I get nothing done..... Logged on to do a new car insurance quote. Couldn't remember if i had points or not (I got pulled by the police 2 yrs ago and opted for the speed awareness course). So went onto the government gateway site to check my driving license details etc. Turns out i dont have points. Whilst on there, got side tracked by reading about renewing passports. Mine is due this summer (10th wedding anniversary). Spent 10 mins reading up about head shots etc. Need to do one for 4 yr DS in case he comes away with us too.

    45 mins later, only one car quote done :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I hope you know not to waste money on one of those passport photo booths?

    I'm posting a link to a 10ways guide, I can't copy/paste the text because it contains referral links ;)

    Afternoon all

    Had some good results today

    Managed to get a £380 Fuji camera for £40 from Mr. Ts :j:j

    Also grabbed six large gammons’ down to £5.00 each :D

    My viners order just turned up.:D

    Then the post man has just delivered me two more dr who bath robes.:)

    As I had a fault with one of the first two I ordered for Xmas gifts and they have sent me three replacement robes they are £39.99 in Argos :j:j

    Has anyone used the bespoke sada vouchers yet?

    TIA

    I used my bespoke sada on monday, wow what a hassle.
    it involved the supervisor coming to the till twice and in the end voided the whole transaction and rang it in again, then with the help of another cashier finally got it to work. 20 mins after i loaded my shopping i am still at the till. The supervisor even asked me if i was an sada employee!! not sure why.
    Just pure lack of training for both supervisor and cashier, the supervisor kept ringing someone else to tell her what to enter into the till.
