    went to A last night for the Radox and checked my shop on my phone before going to bed. APG as expected on the old system.
    Today I go onto the computer to print it out and I'm now on the 'new' system :eek: I haven't tried to claim it, as wasn't sure how it would work now.
    Could some kind person on the 'old' system send me a pdf of the voucher please :A:A
    TIA
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    I am fine :D well apart from being passed around from safe house to safe house (lofts/sheds/dog basket/chicken coops) and all undercover of darkness and blindfolded I may add :eek:

    All I know is when I had my blindfolded slightly up, the first lady/captor not that I could really tell she spoke with some weird accent :eek: had proper strange feet smelt of whisky and insisted in knocking me off my feet with her !!! everytime she got excited :rotfl:

    The second one must have been really small because getting up the stairs to her loft took an eternity and then I had to listen to hours of "What could possibly be wrong with this seating plan " and then the sound of paper being ripped up

    Third one was on a campaign trail so I was left to sleep with a big dog or a truly ugly woman with bad breath but to be fair a bit of a contortionist so not all bad

    Fourth one said I was no use when I could not cook or garden for her whilst being blindfolded

    So to sum it up I am fine not like I found a ginger pube or anything as earth shattering as that ;)


    :D:rotfl::grouphug: :rotfl::D

    So there you are :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: and I was right, TS had you locked in her loft at one point :eek: she said she wasn't sure how long it would be before release due to MrTS being there :rotfl: :rotfl:
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Dont forget the fun of walking around tesco collecting almost anything that was on B1G1F, and the checkout staff being all confused at why you only wanted one tube of pringles when you could have another for free :D

    Edit: That particular glitch really did please me, as I have a hatred of all the B1G1F offers, as I think Savvy does too (but I could be wrong)

    No, I don't have a "hatred" of them at all - and "hate" is a very strong word so, in my cautiousness, the most I ever reach these days is a "dislike" of whatever it is. I really only don't like bogo'f's when the unit cost, when buying 2, is either more expensive than or the same price as the lowest single purchase price has been previously. If it's actually cheaper... but then I don't go much for having to buy more.

    I was explaining to someone once (in RL) ad to why, sometimes, buying only one and ignoring the bogo'f' was a better deal. Particularly under the long gone DTD under which the difference was doubled. Say something - Pringles for instance - is £2.48 bogo'f' at T (having been £1.24, or even £1, before) - it's simply not bogof* under that circumstance anyway as the cost of the supposedly "free" one is covered in the now doubled cost of the single first one so the buyer is now paying for both of them in that way - but, if it were now £1 elsewhere, then buying one would, if things compare, result in paying £2.48 and contributing that full amount towards any cond.spend to reach and adding £1.48 to the PP. Buy two at £2.48 though, and it's adding no more, moreover the difference is now slashed to just 48p (2 for £2.48 vs £1 x2), so it really does not make sense (except that people generally do not have that "sense" since they are, apparently, unaware of the prices of the products elsewhere). In effect, you're buying 2 at, say, A's cost of £1 each (these are made-up prices at the moment btw) rather than just buying one at T £2.48 and pricematching to A £1. Why buy more than you need and end up with a net cost of paying twice as much (£2 opposed to £1 pricematch)? Of course the stores are fully aware that they don't, and won't be expected to, pricematch in that way as the vast majority of people do not shop in that way - the vast majority of people do not shop in the "right" way IMO!

    I'm starting on the M list - I'm leaving the attempt comparison vs the Kipling Viennese Whirls at 64p on the list, but, although Jamaican Ginger Cake, for example, is still on £1.29 bogo'f', I'm still not putting it onto the list as I'm not playing that game and not going down that road. They've been straight 65p in M and elsewhere in the past - so I'm not going down the 'buy 2 pay twice as much' approach - besides the fact they are more of tempter items than money-savers:rotfl: - this is about money-saving - you're best bothering only with whoopsies anyway, otherwise simply wait for straight 65ps to come back again, rather than having to buy and spend (the complete opposite to the word "save") twice as much money as what you need! Anyway, you do not "have" to buy anything like this in any event - so, do not do so!:rotfl::rotfl::money:

    *And note the deliberate, and intended, lack of the quotes now here.
