    What a mess.So am I right in thinking no one got any orders paid for with glitchy points? As I remember you were the only one who mentioned it. So near and yet so far!!!

    No, as I understand it from some of the cryptic and not so cryptic posts over recent days, some managed to get the gltichy points applied to their accounts before the order had even arrived and then managed to spend them quickly (and collect the orders) before they were reclaimed by B00ts, others got a Goodwill points addition but that really was the points due from the shop/offer (to replace the glitchy 000s).

    I got some orders. :o:o:o

    Nothing to be embarrassed about if some of your orders (made with the glitchy points) got through - we are only jealous it didn't work out for us but pleased it worked for a few :A.

    Sounds like I will love it - absolutely fantastic! (I know I will annoy somebody by saying that in that regard - there was someone at work that I could never even say I liked it as that would annoy her immensely so I didn't - but, here, I don't care:p:rotfl:.)

    Enjoy.... and when you get to the end can you let me know what happens.... I have lost the will to live!
    Burglars generally tend to break into your house during the day whilst you are at work in South Africa. My house got broken into 7 times in one year, which is why I decided to pack up the few belongings I had left and move to the UK.

    Alternatively, they poison your dogs and kill the residents whilst they are sleeping, which is what happened to a neighbour ...

    I have been pick pocketed in this country on one occasion, three years back whilst picking up a Tesco Direct order. And my second experience of being robbed was when my car got broken into whilst parked at the station. I had a soft top Vitara, which the burglar simply opened the soft top part of, removed the car radio without damaging the dashboard, and closed the soft top bit again.

    Which is why I am not overly concerned about burglars here ;)

    One of my friends had lived in JB in South Africa. The master bedroom was a sealed panic room, the whole family used to sleep in there. When they came to England it took them years to adjust to the kids sleeping in their own bedrooms (I have to admit I am amazed they had 6 kids when they all shared the same room!).

    She also spoke of the lack of mindless violence in UK crime, which is hard to comprehend for me, but I have never lived anywhere that you needed a panic room to sleep in! ............ but then she does go mad at me as I don't lock my front door ever. Although this is well known, I have never had any difficulties/thefts. When the kids were teenagers I occasionally woke to find their friends asleep in the house without us knowing...... normally when they have argued with parents and come to ours as they knew they could eat and sleep without disturbing anyone.
    Seconded :beer:

    And massive thanks to you too DeeDee :):T :A

    Thirded

    Thanks to all that has helped with the glitches, and the banter and the support. You are all stars x

    4 lots of £4 off wys £40 in my nectar post today, that's nice.

    Boots have now added £6 of points manually to my balance, but it was nice being hopeful while it lasted!

    Nipped to T's, they have twin pack Kleenex mansize £3.50 bogof so 87p ish a box, just a good price if you are in there. I tend to stock up at this price, it's an offer that comes around regularly, on till 16 Jan I think.

    Got large pack pate 50p and all the brandy cream/brandy butter/brandy sauce etc are rtc. Just an ordinary shop, but the fish would compare AvT

    1x
    YOUNG'S CHIP SHOP 2 EXTRA LRG COD FILLETS 320G
    £2.00
    £2.98

    I'm not sure what I got points wise because I started off with £13.72 and now I've got £24 ish so no 500 points even which is why I'm returning my items!

    My glitchy points were added before delivery and i tried to spend £400.00 pounds worth but the orders were cancelled. Well done to anyone who got them through! i wonder if the people with really high numbers of glitchy points were the ones that highlighted the error

    Who knows? They are obviously a far more organised organisation than Ts if it had been on their website we would have all received them:rotfl:

    Probably a surge in orders/quick appearance on HUKD or 10ways would do the trick, whether people placed large orders or not. Big companies monitor social media, there are services that you can pay for to notify you if you are mentioned (and even Joe Public can if they so desire with something as simple and free as G00gle Alerts).

    Seabrooks and phileas fogg.

    Had a quick skim through.Don't think this one has been mentioned.
    £1.98 each 2 for £2.50 multi not showing.
    Afternoon all

    Showing off then on but not on a.com??

    Had anyone tested these please? If it is off and on it will depend on what time the offer/price information was sucked into the APG machine whether it glitches or not.

    Do we know with any level of confidence what time that is please?

    Many thanks
