    I gave up. Ended up giving my brother a lift home via a particular TE and picked up another 2 meals for a total of £2.92. Was clocked by a copper waiting behind me though, when I walked out of the shop they asked for a 'quiet word' and then slightly away from TE they asked 'how did you do that?!' quite excitedly. I told them and they thought it was great and popped back in to get the remaining 2 main meals and sides on the shelf :rotfl: I cheekily added about what desserts to avoid as well. Some days I have no morals :)

    Pmsl, you def have super powers even able to corrupt coppers :p

    Hi everyone :)

    I’m pleased to say my work situation has calmed down a little. On Monday I was convinced that my boss was trying to make me leave but today he was telling me he doesn’t want me to go and that he needs me there. Also the new apprentice girl told me that he’d been saying the same to her about me. He was really nice today (which is totally out of character for him), telling me I should stop worrying all the time and that things will calm down as soon as we’ve replaced all the staff that left.

    I do feel a little better but will still look to change jobs, although now it seems to be less urgent I can afford to be a little more choosy and hold out for my perfect job :p

    I get like this, sometimes it feels like not just being unappreciated but unwanted. I am moving jobs and my current boss is being lovely about it, we had a chat after my performance review and now I feel as though I was just being a bit paranoid and perhaps lacking a bit of confidence - still doing the right thing by moving on though.

    Hope you find something x

    Thats a shame, It has improved a lot since it first appeared. If mine don't work after 2 goes I just report the receipt. Not had one declined yet. :)

    Well I gave it a go.Took 20 minutes.Used a bar code scanner and then my phone.Finally got a £1.Now I find I need another £4 before I can withdraw the money.I don't know if it will be worth the bother:rotfl:

    mrsmac10, did your coke deal just appear in the CoS app (or was it CS) or did you have to activate it?

    And what is it you have to buy?

    TIA

    I got 3 bottles of this, used 2 x £1 coupons from the sets I collected today, plus 3x 30p ones from when they were on offer before. It makes very good hand soap, as we don't have a baby!

    Can you use 3x30p ones in one transaction on the self serve? I ordered 4 sets and had one before which I paid 99p for I used all the £1 for the baby shampoo. We dont have babies either :rotfl:but added it to my mini stockpile for gifts. Good idea about using it for handsoap hadnt even thought of that, I did consider washing my hair with it :rotfl:. The hand gel is good in the sets, idea for days out and camping wish I had ordered a couple more :cool:

    Did someone ask about the Cussons vouc from the baby packs yesterday and what you could get? I got the baby shampoo which is half price at 84p but used the £1 coupon ;)

    I'm wondering if you could get an apg as some of the mum to me stuff is comparing well on msm. Also use 3 different coupons per item. :cool:

    Indeed you may :)

    Mains
    Chicken piri piri
    Chicken and ham pies
    Beef Goulash
    Pork & chorizo meatballs
    Chicken puff pastry lattice pie thing
    Lasagne

    Sides
    Salt and pepper wedges
    Garlic mash
    Petit pois
    Roasted vegetables
    Rice and vegetables

    Desserts
    Chocolate cheesecakes
    Italian choc dessert thing

    Buy in 3s and the extra 10% discount for the wine still comes off

    As far as I know the only things that stop it from working are the blueberry tarts and the chocolate mint dessert, so avoid these

    Good luck :T

    does the coke work with this or does it have to be wine please?
    we dont do wine in this house :(
    I know it would come in handy for gifts but i have a stockpile already:cool:
    It`s nice to be important, but its more important to be nice.
    The world is full of people throwing stones at us. Its what you do with them that counts. Build a wall or build a bridge.
