You used to be able to use 3v cards to pay your next account off, but given that 3v keep changing, I not sure if it is still working x

Next do not accept 3v. Best way is to buy next giftcards from T for the extra points. This is how I buy from next. Unfortunately last month I was housebound and found bargains so lost out on the points on £1100 of gift cards.
Starting to stock up on cards so never run so low again.

Savvy sal sorry your mum is so ill. Cherish every moment.

Evening all

Thanks Deedee my HE shop worked perfectly. Chanced 2 shampoos and 2 conditioners that were showing on mys. No chance to scan on msl as was uypdating at the time:j

So savvy does this mean they will work tomorrow?

I cant getbackto A until after 3pm so fingers crossed. These are on my dn wish listfor college ( wellbeen on my sisters wishlist since I got them in march).
Could do with anice run on this.

Thanks toNaebbirac for alerting me, saves her going up in her attic now:D

Since my hairdresser has gone mobile he is less than half the price so treating myself to a colour when he comes to cut myhair tomorrow.

Right got to read back now justwanted to let you allknow my results. Shop was done at 7.30pmsavvy if that helps.

I don't think so, it now being 'tomorrow', unless you buy them before 3am today. It depends what pricing gets onto msm. If it is still £3.79 (even with 2 for £4.00) on a.com and that gets onto msm, it may work on C&C if they are now instore at £2 each. However, if it has 2 for £4 online, it is then restricted to including a maximum of just one bottle per shop:(.

To other matters...this glitcher has now done the Niveas. Of course I should have done them again and again and again, but anyway! They were now showing straight £3.48 on the SELs. In a way, that's what I want them to come up with but of course had they not gone through at 3 for £5 I would have put everything back. It just shows, again, though - I mentioned these ages ago - that you really cannot shop the way the vast majority of people do. You can't just go into a store and, like almost everyone does, simply buy what looks to be good price to you there. On these Niveas, you would have no idea that any mbuy was on them at all, so you simply couldn't just rely on what the shelves say in the store. You can ONLY do it properly by buying what is cheaper in one specific elsewhere.

I'm not doing completely well on my shopping though! Receipt printer failed:( and had to get receipt reprinted. However, it was fine in the end - fortunately it was so late that the right machine was found and the last receipt could be reprinted. So, again, doing the exact opposite of what most people do works much better!

This reminded me exactly why I try to avoid shopping on Saturday afternoons (besides it not being as generally glitchy these days). If you go out at the same time as everyone else, you end up in traffic queues, struggling to get anywhere, spending more money on fuel and generally (certainly I do) feeling more stressed and hassalled around in a busy store. Too many other people to bump into and clutter the aisles up... move outta tha way!!:rotfl::rotfl:

Instead, you should arrive at the store just as everyone else is leaving. They get stuck in the jams on the way out - and all the way home - whilst you have a free passage into the car park when no-one else is going in your direction. So much better, hassall-free, no wasted fuel stuck in jams. Then you pick up the wombles as well that way! I don't think this last bit needs mentioning, as it is obvious and I'm sure everyone else would have realised this even before me! (And I realised quite some time ago.) No point arriving before them. And no point arriving while they are still shopping. Absolutely - do almost everything the opposite way to everyone else! (The 'average' shop takes 45 minutes btw. The stores themselves use this piece of information to their benefit as to how to promote things, at what time, what place and in what way. Therefore, you should aim to arrive just a little bit after 45 minutes after people start parking up in the car park. If you time it correctly, you arrive just as they are leaving - and also creating space for you more easily to park your car, and, because of the lower number of vehicles in the car park, gives you less chance of hitting one of them and thereby avoids traffic accidents (and also insurance claims off of those and all the attendant bother) which often happen on supermarket car parks.) I can't see any benefits at all to arriving when everyone else does and only positive things through doing as I've mentioned.

Certainly, if you are a car driver or motorcylist or cylist. Unfortunately, if you travel by bus or train, you have to face lower levels of service (even though, if you are lucky to find a bus or train running, at least you avoid it being overcrowded - so much better that way!:T). Although then there are safety concerns particularly at night if travelling alone:(.

Result hopefully due on the Nivea shop after 3am. I will be staying up for it, as I can do that these days!:D:D Thank you RN:T. Sadly it'll be posted in the middle of the night though when it will then be seen by people at the break of day but the whole thing be over by then.

But you didn't lose savvy. You just didn't make as much:)

It's a loss. It's not got what I would otherwise have got. I ended up paying about 36p for each of them, plus those expensive sweets. Instead of being paid to take them away albeit also buying, by comparison, absolutely hideously expensive 10p sweets:rotfl:.

Shall I try this? One womble found...they even got an item voided in order then to pay less:( for it. Just as I thought though...not enough items:(.

Hi Savvy,

I can't sleep pain is too bad. You just reminded me I picked up a womble earlier.

I will go and get it.

Hi bubbs

Same as the HE. No trigger, the new multibuy was not picked up earlier by msm (thanks for confirming scottishshortie ), now showing, but USUALLY msm does not update till early the next day so USUALLY quite safe to hit it into the evening. Based on past experiences, as long as APG checked before say 6.00 am the following morning then it should be OK, but may of course change at any time.

If this is correct though, it should be okay to check even after 6am (at any time within 28 days of the date of the shop), if you shopped before midnight (shopped on what is now yesterday), as the information held at the end of that day won't be changed (hopefully won't retrospectively change). If, like me, however you do your shop at 2 minutes past midnight:(, then it is today's data that applies and that might well update later today! At around 6am and, in any event, should be before midday (but exceptional circumstances could be longer).

We saw this for the M glitch, where shops from 19/8/14 for example still compared to the glitchy data when checked two weeks later. It relates to the information for the date of the shop. However, whether it treats A's own prices differently...?

Oh sorry to hear that:(:(; I didn't know:o.
I'm a bit tired actually - two early starts:(, one for a day out on Tuesday and another to get up quite early for the M check day. Wish they'd move Morries price collection to Thursdays:rotfl::rotfl: (not because it is a Thursday now, but because missing out on the Wednesday glitches a bit).:rotfl::rotfl:

Very quiet night tonight, Tiny. (Unsurprisingly, it being a weekday overnight.) I'm glad I've got company though (even if you're up, sadly, because of the reason you're up). Just wishing you well.:A:)

Thanks savvy it's eased a bit now but don't want to lay down again just yet for it to flare up.

Womble was £6ish cheaper elsewhere would you like to cast you eyes over it if I PM you the details?
