    I think peeps would be more put off posting their finds when instead of being congratulated they have their post pulled apart for being a few pennies out in their calculations....

    Enormo hasn't post since her great find last week..




    Come back Enormo!!:D

    if I ever catch aau1 being a few pence out I will jump on him. :D
    problem is - he's never wrong :(

    so ill stick to winding savvy up. :p

    I wasn't aware of the new guidance for Elite since the New Year but it appears the thread is going to get much quieter (or at least less glitch related) - so from now on:
    - don't target shop, shop like a muggle (or like most members of my family ) and only buy as and when required,
    - definitely don't build a stash of anything even if you are buying in advance when discounted to save buying later, only buy what you need now
    - don't try new things that you wouldn't normally buy just because they are glitching/discounted/free, only buy what you will use
    - only buy offers (particularly multis) when all items are visible on MSM/A/APG to ensure the multi processes correctly,
    - only generate 10 APG entries a month and also stick within the £100 limit (online and instore combined) whether from your own shops or from wombles,
    - tell T immediately if an item is mispriced so that they don't get caught out and have to give people DTD and A so that they don't have to give out £2 giftcard ...
    - don't buy anything that is the result of a system glitch, let A/T, New Look or whoever know that their system or voucher isn't working as they intended

    Have I missed anything ... ? .

    I appreciate that everyone has different lines they are comfortable with and didn't even think I had crossed one, but always useful to have a reminder now and again and see different perspectives.

    I think this should be put on 1st page:T:T:T:T:j:beer::beer:

    me too :D well harold wood hospital & hubby was born in rush green :o

    My DS was born in Harold Wood hospital.

    No longer a hospital though. Everything moved to Queens Hospital near the site of the former Oldchurch Hospital. The site has been turned into a housing estate - Kings Park - very very expensive IMHO.

  • Hi everyone,
    Another long time lurker in from the cold.
    I did post a few days ago but mentioned some pizza boxed to recycle and it was deleted (Sorry RF) I have partaken in many of the glitches and thank you all.
    Anyway I did an A shop yesterday but my Store doesn't stock the Pink Poo, I saw the VVPink there for the first time and decided to try it. The recent mentions on here were not very positive so I thought I'd risk it and IT WORKED!!!!
