few years ago, MG went on hol to start with on his own and I joined him a few days later. While he was there he made friends with a really lovely couple who kind of took him under their wing so he didn't feel too alone. I turned up and we all got on really well

Last year, we were there and one day were told that two people had been there looking for us. It was only when we saw who it was later that night that we knew it was the same couple. We kept in touch this time and they've just text me to say they'll be going to the same place while we are there :j

These are two of the loveliest people you could ever wish to meet and I can't wait to catch up with them over a lovely cold :beer:

Aww that's great QoC have a lovely time xx

Thanks alto and anon, we put offer on house 6th May, still no moving date!
All cash buyers and ready to go, solicitors are worse than politicans for lying!
I'm packing a bit every day so now we are living out of boxes.
Yesterday told we'll know this week but been told that for the last 7 wks!

It's so annoying isn't it, the waiting, the what do I pack now? There should be a penalty for solicitors etc that drag their heels when everyone is a cash buyer. There shouldn't be any real hold-ups :mad:

We went on the open top bus tour which included a stop at the Nou Camp, but didn't really get to see it properly. It's on the list of places we'd like to revisit and spend some more time at. One day.

Several years ago when we stayed in Malgrat, we went on a day trip to Barcelona. Such a beautiful place, I'd love to actually stay there and spend time sight seeing.
The coach company took us to Nou Camp, our hotel had done up packed lunches and we sat in the stands eating our lunch before having a look around. Amazing place

thought id bring this over from hukd as the person is thinking like an "elite" lol

Get 3 whole chickens for £7.37. Normal price is £4.39 each.
1)Join MyWaitrose scheme
2)First thing select the 1.2kg chicken as one of your "pick your own offers" saving you 20%.
3)Buy chickens under the 3 for £10 offer. (Which are the 1.2kg chickens)
4)3 chickens = £13.17 (full price)
20% of £13.17= £2.63
3 for £10 - £2.63 = £7.37
1 chicken = £2.46

Thank you for the update - was this a glitch shop with items unavailable or vouchers refunded due to instore being lower?

Personally I have always ensured that my instore price will be covered by vouchers plus credit card so that although the higher figure would be reserved on my card, once the RTC instore price was taken it still didn't result in a refund (also as people had problems getting vouchers refunded). So £7 covered by vouchers for Persil not £13.98 online price. From what you say vouchers refunded automatically now?

Wondering if anyone will point out the difference to A on FB between emails received and T&Cs update...?



Many thanks

Anon

They haven't taken any money yet from my account for yesterdays shop. And, according to my Bank, they haven't reserved anything yet either. The udis were out of stock so I didn't get charged for those so I was left with a total , after my apgs were deducted, price of around £4 odd on my delivery note. Will be interesting to see in the next day or two how they charge me.
