    Went out at 4am for coke.
    Wish I'd remembered there was a £20 cap at T. Got 6 and ended up paying £11. Was the only one in the shop at the time and security guard was manning SS tills, and he had no idea how to deduct 2, so just paid, as felt very conspicuous.
    Never mind, still not too bad.

    I did kind of add, after an afterthought to one of my posts, that this would effectively be a maximum of 4. (I didn't mention unless you wanted also to buy items that were much more expensive in M, but that would probably have been plain daft.) I'm sorry if the opening of that suggested you could buy any number or, indeed, max out as I'd suggested. Probably wasn't me though - and it's new so we are getting used to this, some of us. Good they raised the cap from £10 though:rotfl:. And thanks they were £5 shelf price and not £7, that's helped some of us too (and, in fact, it's helped you as you've not paid £7 for each of the excess).

    Better luck next time - hope it (whatever may come along) works!

    has anyone bought Breakers Point Chardonnay - Semillon in the past and for what sort of price.

    all I could find was this - nowhere has sold £3 wine in the Uk for donkeys years. It has such a pretty label I wanted to save it for Christmas

    http://www.wine-searcher.com/find/breakers+point+chard+semillon+western+cape+south+africa

    Have to go and have a look in the box for something else

    Ok, maybe not for real:rotfl:.
    But, just to answer you, I've had mbuys showing for me all yesterday (if not also the evening before then - night before last) and it was still working (and that was both regarding Cracker Crisps and Fish). How about others of you folks?

    (:think:On msm now - the fish - mbuy certainly not there yesterday - not relevant, but it has got through to there, and that would be delayed, I expect, as opposed to a.com. However, people reporting shops working above - and may have got through lunchtime and may work 'all day'.)

    (Cracker Crisps - mbuy on msm - again not relevant - I think it was there yesterday but/yet still working then.)

    A weekend is the only time we can really go shopping, and if you go round in a circle starting at A, then T 2 miles down the road, then town centre 20 min free parking, round to M which you have to pass anyway as its on the one way system, then onto Big superstore T, big S is also just opposite, then by pass home, popping into A again on the way by if you have the stamina---which I didn't---
    It probably works out as a 20mile round trip, so doing all shops in one hit saves petrol:)
