HOF
i dont know if its every store, but my hof is an outlet store.
i set up 3 lots of transactions. spending about 25p 25p and £1.80

to my surprise there was an extra discount today. so my 1st shop which should have been 25p after £5 mail coupon was actually showing as 80p still to spend (£4.20)
so the lovely sa said, "do you want me to put them through all together."
ok.
to my surprise she done it and took off all 3 vouchers on the same transaction. leaving £1.26 to pay.
the figures ive stated are only estimates but i hope you get my drift.
sa dependant whether more than 1 coupon put through at a time.

managed to get 2 ice creams from the co op. thanks TM

Good Afternoon :wave:

Rain stopped when it was time for mums

Good afternoon.

A sight to make us all weep - called in at a large Co-op 3.40pm, nipped to the rtc area only to find the last knot in the last semi-opaque binbag was being tied and so I watched the final bag being loaded into the cage. A cage full of rtcs, being wheeled out. Fruit, veg, salad, you name it, it was in there. Sigh.

What I couldn't get over was the sheer volume involved. Why not sell it all at 10p from 2pm?

How have you missed the bananas please? I clicked on it earlier and it says I have until 7th September to upload a receipt (email just came through - receipt has to be dated 3/9 to 7/9). Or had you claimed a different offer today?

Thanks

Anon

I can only see the banana offer and the Carling one

Good Afternoon all

If you haven't already bought it Arthien I would think twice.

I'm pleased I didn't do a Morries and buy a dozen papers. There was no clearance items in my HoF and it was a struggle to find anything at all around the fiver mark. It was just by luck I found a candle and a pair of socks which I think might have been left lying around by another elite:rotfl: I walked around for ages just trying to spend 2 vouchers and if I'd had more vouchers I would have given up.

The sat nav said 7 miles to the nearest Oppo stockist so I didn't bother. Life is too short......besides it sets my teeth on edge:rotfl:

Thanks for the warning. Guest has pre-paid Mail so I had two vouchers. Then we went out for lunch to a place which provides five sets of papers for customers. Slightly guilty that I took two more vouchers! Toiletries or chocolate perhaps?

Thank you to you all who have been asking about me and how I am. Sending your good wishes and hoping I get well soon. It is at this point I feel I owe you all a full explanation of what has happened to date. So here goes

As some of you know I suffer from multi joint osteoarthritis and have done since approx 1982 :eek: as the years have moved on so has the amount of pain I suffer on a daily basis. It never completely goes, it's there all day everyday and certain foods or weather makes it flare up badly. There again a few of you know this as you're sufferers yourselves.

Over 18 months ago I had a full knee replacement. This was a biggie for me but everything is as should be there. Sad part is sleep or rather lack of arises then can come low moods or slight depression.

Anyway, I am taking a cocktail of medication, from slow release morphine capsules, duloxetine, and a few others. Over 2 years ago my doctor put me onto Gabapentin. Once the side effects of sleepiness past all seemed well. My dose was 1 at tea time and 2 at bedtime.

So, for over a month now I've felt not 100% and my lower legs and feet have been swollen up from when I wake, and over night. In other words 24 hours a day. My doctor then decided I should have an extra Gabapentin, taken in the morning. There again side effects of me falling asleep half hour after getting out of bed! :eek:

I've put up with this then decided to stop taking Gabapentin. Infact I did tell a fair friend of mine that's what I was going to do. Now for some reason after a couple of days I just thought to myself, 'right stop them completely' Worse thing I could ever have done.

My doctor had to be called out due to the condition I was in. Trembling, headache, hit, cold, stomache cramps. All part of withdrawal symptoms it seems. I had no idea that I had become so dependant on these tablets.

my doc has made me go back on 3 tablets a day for a few days before I reduce to 2 a day and so on. I am also to go for a review of my meds after I've reduced again or earlier if I'm having problems.

Sorry for the length of this, it wasn't meant to be a preface to my autobiography :rotfl:

So sorry to hear this. Take care of yourself.

Went to local H&B store to get some Oppo (thanks Westie) . Only had one tub in stock :mad:
Tried to look on Oppo store website, for where else might have in stock locally and even though I put my postcode in the search it keeps showing another town :mad:
Will just have to try random co ops I guess

I had that problem. Put town, not postcode; that worked for me.

thanks. Ive tried town as well. Keeps defaulting to a town about 10 miles from me :eek:

I got some oppo at wholefoods but the sa reduced the price to 0 rather than apply a moc so no good for shopmium. Oh well, i'm sure free ice cream tastes almost as good as profitable ice cream

(Or does it? I'm not seeing great reviews)
