    I thought I may get a few more vouchers before the competition closes at 11.59, but the forms do not seem to be working now (typical they have not adjusted their system clocks?).

    So, they've not complied with their own stated closing time and closed the competition early!:eek: I feel a complaint coming on...

    Seriously, in your position I would contact them, to say that you noticed the closing time earlier and went onto their site after 11pm, whatever time, to enter but found you could not and were v.disappointed... might get sent some vouchers, or even some of the products, and possibly far more than you would have got from entering this time. Review companies' products, tell them how much you dislike/like them and the manufacturers could send you offers and products... you can get more that way than taking something back to the stores and just getting refunded for it.

    Yes I get it - I reminded everyone of this and the £10 off £30 (Pizza Express) and £10 off £100 Arg0s) yesterday. I can only seem to get it loaded on my main N3ctar Amex not the supplemental card or Barclaycard Amex yet :(.

    Any ideas please? Do they still use 4sq?

    Anon

    Sometimes takes a few days to register supplementary cards. Or there are other sites, though I can't recall the names.

    4 is the same pro rata return as 8 - but my point was 8 flavours means no other fillers required.

    Anon

    :jSo I did the best number, for me - as I wouldn't have got enough flavours, would have been duplicating them/exceeding my vouchers' spend by more etc. and paying real cash - the other items will be useful/used - just a normal shop. Although, I tell you, trying to compare vs Sains is the worst one of the lot... especially for me, as I have this "illness":D that means I obsessively want to stick to the best items that don't lose out, and dislike putting items onto Sains vs an N/A when I could have had a comparison for them vs elsewhere. I find that bit difficult, as I'm so reluctant to sacrifice a few pence in favour of something far more. Even though I then end up buying substantive items and paying more. E.g. even if a bread would have lost out vs Sains (as 33p vs 40p:eek:), still, 10% cheaper than 40p for it would be cheaper than 10% off 50p for the diced vegetables. Still, it's all roundabouts - either I get bread later or veg. later.

    I'm not sure if Sains is worse than vs Waitrose, where I dislike losing all those 10% things on lots of N/A items such as all the SP and some of the sweets. It increased the cost of those Toblerones (though I think there's not been much vs W since) somewhat above 75p-10% each!

    It's like the Coke Zero in T (back onto that again:rotfl:) - sorry folks - only briefly - but we were told they were 24p each, but the fillers effectively made it just under £2 for four cases, so, really, increasing their cost to almost 50p each:eek: (hardly better than the original shop that lost a bit by buying brands that were worse price in M). If I had had other items I wanted to get...

    But then I'd be paying T for more items and more cost in total (a bit like buying substantive items in A shops - but, then, we need them sometimes;):rotfl:, just occasionally:D, although they are really expensive these non-glitch items - everyday expensive essentials usually:(!) and I sometimes think, on a glitch shop like Ts, just kill them for less total spend. Buy the cheapest possible shop you can and get enough to get the glitch.

    I'm back!:doh:

    If you go back to the first page (or the top of the second if you are on 20 posts per page) and find the old M list, there is a link near the top of it where you can click and it will take you to the start of the new list. To save you having to find page 157 (or whatever it is on 20 posts setting) by backtracking through the pages themselves.:cool: (Click the thread title once you're on the post I linked to, and you'll then be on the right page.) HTH.

    Or click here, for now - I won't keep reposting this - and then the thread title above the post number of this link, middle right:
    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showpost.php?p=69629314&postcount=6249

    Right - I'm going again:wave::wave:.

    New Covent Garden Soup Mocs still on their site, don't think they are on offer anywhere at the moment but Mr A did a quick change and put them back down to £1 . This was 2 weeks the previous £1 offer ended.

    My Mail also has the Mocs there too (use yopmail or blur)

    Spent 5 hours in hospital today to get my chemotherapy tablets.

    They couldn't make up their minds to give or not give them because my white cells were border line.

    Just feel lucky when you see other patients that are in a worse position then you.

    May God bless everyone.

    Bless you norterngeezer. I'm doing the hokey kokey at the moment :eek: I'm taking some steroids that have given me a massive boost of energy and appetite like a horse!
    I've been munching everything in sight today after weeks of nibbling to stay alive. I'm sure Ive ate my weight in crisps tonight.

    I've gone from bed-ridden to feeling positively energetic in 2 days.But my sleep pattern is still mucked up :o

    I'm guessing I was overdosed on both the chemo drugs and the steroids and will hope for a more settled regime this week. The highs have been nice but the lows were positively awful. Give me monotony any day.
