    Morning All,

    Good luck for anyone chasing Black Friday deals.

    I'm after a laptop for one of my kids, the £179 one in Tesco using my boost vouchers would have been good but I was out late last night.

    I did a rushed wine shop on my way home yesterday but picked up the casillero pinot grigio instead of the chardonnay so my BG was about half what it would have been.

    I guess you don't want to know about that right now? lol

    Silvercar - good job, perfectly good laptop

    That's ok, DS1 only wants a laptop, PC is no good for him.

    I forgot to go out and get the last 6 cidre from last weeks coupons I know I asked last week will they still be ok to use tomorrow. I can't remember whether the seven days ended today or not. :o

    S refused to use my DS's last night told him only valid from today.:eek::eek: He was embarrassed and just paid for them on his card.

    I phoned CS and complained as expiry date was today. She told me to get DS to go back and she'd refund it back to his card. He said he didn't want to use more petrol, so she offered him a £5 gc to cover his costs.

    Good morning all.:D
    Sending good wishes to all the poorly/painful/worried posters.
    I'm not after anything in the GF deals, but have got a few cider coupons to use when I take Mum out later. Does anyone know the best supermarket to use then in please. A bit of overage would be good;)
    I'm off to Stratford tomorrow with soon to be dil. Looking for bridesmaid dresses.
    Hope you all have a good day, and get some good bargains.

    It should be this

    CASILLERO DEL DIABLO CHARDONNAY 75CL



    I don't know for certain but I would expect it to work. Like a numpty I picked up the wrong one, I guess the labels look the same. I prefer pinot grigio but not at the price I paid.

    We have the same. DS1 once left us in a luxury apartment to go and stay in a hostel, because the town we were in was quiet and boring and he wanted some life.
