    I had a box of chocolates and a framed picture of my sons cat Ted and written on it was Thank you Granny for looking after me lol. I went and fed him when Darren and his partner went on holiday.

    Had a nice day in Shrewsbury. They never had any coke zero in W H Smiths ( how annoying was that ) but I managed a cherry coke one instead . Bought two body shop shower gels for 40p with my "birthday card " .They are one for £4 , two for £6 etc, so with my 10% discount only paid 40 p. also picked up a free lyb card for my student daughter.

    Went to the little Waitrose there and spent £10 including the £2 paper with the Morrison s voucher in. I m hoping I can use some of it on gift cards. Had my free coffee.

    Went to the QVC shop there and bought some of those soft bra s and a spanx thing for £7 odd. On the way back to the station I got my free drink from Mc Donald s. So all in all a successful day :D


    I always get gifts from Poppy from my birthday , Christmas and mothers day :D

    You had a good shopping day :T:T

    I haven't tried this yet but may be a way to downgrade your A iPhone app back to the scanning version :).

    Switch off auto update of apps under Settings>ITunes and App Store> Automatic Downloads>switch off Updates. Then follow instructions on:

    http://www.iphonefaq.org/archives/971543

    I am willing to forego the auto updates to keep the APG scanner! Whatever update they applied on 9th July removed the functionality.

    Just called for a hetty and the IT have sorted it so to late folks.
    Ah, but that might be even better! Depends on how on the ball your T are, but surely if you can still find it priced on the shelf in your store at £24, but it now goes through the till at £99, you pay this then go to customer services with your receipt and a confused expression, and get £150 back DTD. Do make sure you go with them to show them the shelf label won't you though. ♥

    Sorry to ask another question but I am so confused. I know I said I had a message saying my todays c&c slot had expired so I rebooked for tomorrow, however while I was in A's I put my code in to try and they came & brought me my goods:j But on my order it says £54.?? to pay, on the email they sent me it said £42.?? to pay but when I collected it the receipt said I had been Charged £75.???:eek: The flash went through at £1 ( I bought 7) and 2 airwick diffusers that I was charged £6 each.
    At the bottom it said saved 75p on 2 for 3 frozen products, I didn't buy any frozen things.
    I would be so grateful if someone would put my mind at rest and explain where I went awfully wrong.
    Gosh that's a long post for little old me.:rotfl:
