    Ah that's a shame.:(
    .. It is so expensive . We wouldn't have had one either this year if it hadn't been for sharing the cost of the lodge with Grandma and Grandad..
    we're hoping to go to alton towers for a weekend over the school holidays so just need to find somewhere cheap to stay :) ahh it's good to share the cost ;) we had a fab holiday a few years ago with my mum, dad & my brothers & one of their families :) mum hired a chateau in the south of france but when we got there 3 of the 7 bedrooms were in an out building :eek: i did manage to get a room in the main house though :o kids absolutely loved having their own pool so would love to do something like that again :)

    afternoon all :hello:
    Why do I always get in such a tizwaz at the ss tills.
    I got my £10 dine in meal at m&s . Also 2 bottles of the clothes washing liquid so my shopping was over £25. Scanned one of the £5 gr tokens. All ok so far. Scanned my £10 evoucher and pressed what I thought was the right button. But seems I added £10 to my evoucher instead of it deducting it grrrr. My shopping came to £19.
    Guess I can use it in the future but what a mix up :o

    Gocat I think the prob was that with your evoucher the shop would have been in the negative. Minus £1? If you only bought the meal deal and clothes washing liquid that would make sense. Because the total goes down to £9 after GR is scanned x

    And also you would need to scan GR- then press pay, total goes down, then press 'coupon' before scanning your evoucher
