Good morning folks, long time lurker here.
I was buying the Hipp pouches for Shopmium last night but got the wrong first food one. Would anyone please be able to give me the barcode for the correct first food pouch please. Many thanks

the first foods were things like baby rice and I got the one in the picture

bananas and baby rice

I had awful problems trying to decide which baby food was which - an awful long time since I fed a baby and in the olden days babies eat pureed adult food
but I got all the right ones and it was confirmed next day, just waiting for the cashback to go into the bank account now.

I had a bit of a guilt complex about not putting anything into the food bank trolley for ages so I got together a bag at the weekend - some food and toiletries and I've got another to go - baby food and toiletries - at least its a start

I was reading this MSE article this morning

http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/travel/2016/08/have-you-got-an-unused-oyster-card-lying-around-you-can-claim-part-of-223m-if-so

so I've registered my contactless card.

My old blue oyster card though I've not used in the last 8 weeks so it has to wait until I am in London next and I then put it into a machine - I got it at the time you needed to put a deposit on it.

Morning all...

Nellie...if you are off freezer shopping....go and look at what all the retailers have to see them in the flesh,but do have a look at ao online....they really are much cheaper...

sometimes the model numbers are slightly different between retailers but you can get a feel for the appliance in store and then purchase it usually much cheaper at ao....and delivery is excellent.

I've used them loads of times with the flats and there are others here who would really recommend them too...sometimes there are codes or cashback sites that they link to so makes it an even better deal.

I have a fabulous large Samsung fridge/freezer:) Bought from The Outlet (Littlewoods Very Outlet) it has some dints on the outside (why it was rejected) now hidden with fridge magnets But it was a really cheap buy.
If you live near an Outlet it is worth a browse or phone call

Flint would be your nearest if you are Chester way.

call this store: 01352 732 460

Thank you all for your helpful replies. I usually have a look around first to see them "in the flesh" first and then compare prices online. I have bought from AO twice before and was more than happy with their services I will have a look at The Outlet thanks snap x

Oo thanks for this. I forgot to put in the machine as we left Victoria and I wasn't walking back

Tiger Baguette 400g now showing straight 75p on a.com - is it really still 2 for £1? Unfortunately we may not yet be updated on the M prices on the APG (I don't know whether we are or are not?) so M's 50p price might not yet work. (They were 70p in M last week.) Might have more chance of working against the new M price if bought later this evening. Unless anyone has seen any changes on APGs that show the prices have been updated?

I think whoopsies can be got much cheaper anyway.

if you use your contactless card register it and you can then see your journeys and any with warning yellow triangles are incomplete ones you can request a refund for

It happened to me when we went to see eldest child a few months back (well actually she had left her ipad at home so we were doing an ipad delivery service )

a few days later I checked the accounts - I used one contactless card and OH another and his fare was much less than mine for the same journey so I rung TFL. When I
tapped out it had not registered so I got a refund :T
