Have you thought about booking the hotel on return separately? Compare the hotel only price and if that is the same, if they agree to your outward leg just book the same for the return but don't use the parking element.

I did wonder about that. Thank you for reminding me.

I was also going to go via TopCashBack - I see several people have confirmed lately that this does not affect the claim.

I did both my bookings via topcashback and they have both already been paid, despite the fact my stay/lounge isn't until September!

Incase anyone has not checked their phones this morning COS has some new free items for uploading today only - Tesco and Asda - my !!!!!! is small so I am not sure if my store would sell them so I am not venturing out
possibly also Q clcicksnappy - not checked yet.

Thompson and Morgan plants sent last weekend but sadly some were deceased so the kind lady on Friday said she would refund me - sadly not the !!!!!! vouchers I part paid with. I checked this morning and the refund was wrong so I've had to ring again and the chap has done me another credit

Yet another hour on the phone to sky retentions yesterday afternoon, this time in Dunfermline. we got the bills sorted out for August onwards :j but the chap gave me credit for July as compensation for the total mess up so my bill would be 0 for July 1st. Inevitably the credit is not showing and I've got a peculiar amount for July so I am going to wait another day just incase the system updates again and ring yet again - so fed up of ringing sky.

back out in the garden I think - safest there

Heres my pick of HUKD.

Can anyone tell yet Im bored !! :rotfl:

Am I missing the point about the Pink Lady apples or have I got some different ones? The ones I got were some small kids-size apples - are they the ones referred to? If they are the right ones, it turned out that a pack of 10 was £1 anyway - so no need to buy two packs - the price seems to be £1 or any 2 for £2 so no saving. The £1 price labelling actually gave a different number of apples so there didn't appear to be a SEL for the individual price for the 10 pack even though the packs were marked "Any 2 for £2". I took a couple to the till, along with another item I was already buying, and asked what the individual price was. It was £1.

I bought both packs anyway as we'll use them and the £1 offer (or the '2 for £2') could end at any time. However I notice that either my receipt has taken £1 off the price of 2 or the SA cancelled one of the packs - is the till taking off the full price for one when two are scanned - is that the glitch? Therefore, two packs (=20 apples) for £1?

Unfortunately, if it was a glitch or if instead the SA took the price of one pack off in error, I think I still paid the full amount and didn't get the extra £1 back in change:o. I think I gave over a penny over the correct total amount, with the other item, as I was expecting to pay 2 for £2 for the apples and I don't recall getting more change back than expected - although tbh I just put it into my pocket and left. I noticed when I'd got home that the receipt bill was actually £1 lower than expected - but I reckon both me and the SA were expecting me to pay £1 more and that amount was taken. So, if there's a glitch, I probably ruined it (can't remember/don't know if I got more change than expected or not as it was all in the haze) and paid the full price in error because, as I understand it from here, the price is £2 for 20 and nobody's been telling me it should be £1. I think the SA simply cancelled my second pack after also scanning it initially - I don't think there's a glitch - but are two packs (of 10 small apples) going through at a total of £1?

If they're the same apples and if there's no glitch on the pricing, then there's no need to buy 20 at all - 10 for a total of £1 can be bought instead (so I don't know why people are under the impression that you need to buy 20 apples for £2). I don't know why people are buying more than necessary and paying for that. They are £1 and 2 for £2 (no saving!), although one was taken off from my receipt in error although I think I still paid for the two packs I got:o:o.

If we really should be paying £1 for 20 apples, then please can people tell me this expressly and say to me they are £1?!! That's better than posting that 20 are £2 and misleading me into paying that:rotfl:. So, correct information in future please:p:rotfl::rotfl:.

EDIT: I notice hotukdeals page says that they are kids apples. So it appears the individual price has gone down from £1.50 to £1. Or maybe this is store-specific or the individual price has since gone back up again (I bought them about 2 days ago). Iceland's website today says £1.50 for the individual price for Pink Lady Apples min. 8 which appear may be a pack of 10 (BC 6 009689 030685).

As £1 was taken off my receipt, the mbuy discount could still have been being applied even though the price had gone down - and therefore there would be a glitch!:j - however I don't know what a mbuy discount on Iceland receipts looks like. It doesn't say mbuy discount or anything like that on my receipt. It looks like one pack was cancelled - therefore no glitch:(. However, the deduction of £1 does match the 50p extra for each pack at previous £1.50 price.
