I hope you are writing them all down for your Mother of the Groom speech:rotfl:
I could prob fill a book already, he's not even 4 yet lol
I was at his speech therapy session on thurs. Within the space on 3 minutes he had rammed his finger up his nose, stuck his hand down the front of his trousers whilst sitting back in his chair going "ahhhhh" he then stood up and scratched his bum shouting "my bums itchy" then proclaimed loudly that he had a booger stuck on his finger :eek::rotfl:
It's never dull here:rotfl:

Oh I don't know really. Just thought would be helpful. I have struggled recently too to keep up xx0 -
Well, T's prize-pork machine said I'd saved thirty pence:( (frown at there being any saving at all no matter how small or large). To be fair I was expecting that it would say that and just testing to see if a bogo'f' offer glitched at full price. Sadly, no.
As you know this was another teeth-drawing exercise using 'extra points' coupons. I refuse to buy from T nowadays unless I make a profit or break even on the points got back. Sadly overall, I made a 1p loss today:( - lol:rotfl: I'm acting as if the goods I bought themselves had no value. But that in order to trigger the CC voucher next time, as they give nothing at all if you don't collect a minimum number of points in a period. Of course I shouldn't be buying at all but should be wombling!
I only use points coupons and don't use any of the xp off ones at all, as they always mean you are still paying them something even after the pence off (unless their value is the same or more than the cost of the product).
According to me, I didn't save anything at all of course. Instead, I paid them more since I had to pay slightly more on one particular type of non-comparable product (than an alternative version) in order to reach the points spend required. We are talking of life-changing earth-shattering values here though. Eight pence:rotfl:.
I daren't calculate my extra losses, a penny here, a penny there, compared to Asda, further losses as not getting any 10% etc (although I'm almost positive I will inevitably go on to do so). However I did pay less using the bogo'f' than what I would have paid in Asda or Sainsburg's and neither of those, for different reasons, would have compared to the T offer. So I sort of saved there.
The bogo'f' items are apportioned in price as usual. But I say that, if it's a bogo'f' or similar, it's buy one get one 'free', so one of the items should be full priced and the other should be a free product. In this era of consumer choice, I think they should allow consumers the ability to choose which of their items should class as free on the comparison! I'd like them to introduce a keypad, a voting system or something so that customers, at the till, could be asked to choose which item they want to be the 'free' one, so that the other can then appear at full price! And then, with bated breath, they can await the result. (Of course, the one that's cheaper elsewhere would be the one I'd pay for and my free product, I'd choose it to be the non-comparable one:rotfl:.)
Alternatively, they could introduce something into the system so that the first item that you actually scanned is the paid-for one and the second one scanned is free. I'd welcome this as it would introduce another element of challenge into the system, as we struggle and faff around with our items in a busy store, introducing another method by which we could slip up if we weren't careful enough, as well as making it more interesting.:rotfl::rotfl::D0 -

Thank you I will try this:T0 -

How very dare my T store fail to stock a particular item:rotfl:.
So I replaced one version of another product with a different flavour - of course the SA went and did a simple swap but I then asked for one item to be cancelled and other to be scanned, as it made all the difference (making 10 items!).
All to enable me to get a valueless 'you have saved' coupon:(:(.
Anyway...just so you know, in case any of you get a T coupon for money off mineral water, you don't need to buy any expensive mineral water for that. Judging on what happened on my shop this afternoon, the T Eday Value tap waters (still or sparkling) count as 'mineral water' for the MOC. Well, all water has some minerals in it and therefore is "mineral" water isn't it?!?:D:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Coupon worked fine - and lost me 1.7p per bottle compared to buying them in A:rotfl:.0
