a worrying thought occurs to me - what sort of boxes do they pack the orders in?
I am just imagining trundling a trolley load of assorted shaped boxes out of the store and across a long walk through the garden centre back to the car ....:o

You can ask them to open the boxes in store and have a bag ready for your booty. I always open if the store is a long way away or the box is large, especially since JL gave me the wrong sewing machine a couple of years ago and I had to trek all the way back to return it.

Quorn Meat Free Turkey Steaks (4 per pack - 360g)£1.00 RTC
Quorn Meat Free Quarter Pounders (2 per pack - 227g)£1.00 RTC

Turkey Steaks now 49p, although I suspect the vast majority of people won't find them in their M.
Not the Quarter Pounders though - they have gone back up to £2.49:eek:, as at Wednesday 19th October. (Unless it is that M is putting different ones onto lower prices in different stores. As far as I know (which isn't very far), that is not so. Quarter Pounders are perhaps not very frequently encountered now either.)

Do those that know think it is worth doing this please? What's the catch and can you stop after you have deposited £80? I have tried to understand it but feel very Bear-Of-Little-Brain-ish!

Afternoon everyone,

If you have the ipint app then I have discovered a way of getting free lager without having to 'cheers'. Tried it last week and money has just been put in bank.
Did it again with 2 different accounts and the vouchers are showing just waiting to be redeemed:beer:

You will need a 4 pack code to begin with, here's what to do -

- Sign OUT, then re-enter app again by putting in your age but DO NOT SIGN IN.

- Go to '4 Pack Rewards' and pick a reward eg Free 4pk Carling or Free Peperami Minis.

- Enter your 4 pack Code and it will immediately take you to the 'My Vouchers Wallet' page showing the free pack.

- Press 'Redeem Now' (bottom right).

- Either press the 'Sign Up With Facebook' blue banner at top or scroll down to very bottom and use the 'sign in' (bottom right in red) and sign in as usual.

It will appear as 1 of 1 but go to the menu list and press 'My Vouchers Wallet' and it then updates and shows at the start of all your vouchers.

This works on my phone which will only let me sign in to one account and won't let you gift but also on my DH's phone which still lets you gift and sign in to different accounts - so should work with everyone okay.

Hope I have explained what to do well enough. I'm going out now and won't be able to check back in until tonight to answer any queries. This above it what I have exactly done, may work another way.

OH is back - not sacked, de moted, made redundant or on gardening leave and all is right with the world.

There was some discussion at the meeting with Big Boss this afteroon on the subject of 'bringing the company into disrepute' - and OHs FB page was mentioned.
He has had to take off his profile page the line that says where he works.

Always very dicey IMO naming anywhere where you work, as companies/organisations want to control everything we do in our leisure time - in fact they want control over us 24/7:( (and 25/7 on the day the clocks go back - next weekend, btw, not this weekend so as not to confuse anybody). Unless of course it is on an official company page, and only then if you are the press officer, and then you have to say the company line whether you believe it or not, so your expression is controlled there too. No freedom of expression as it's always qualified and controlled - and trumped by someone else's rights.

The thing that interests me though, with this "bringing into disrepute" - and I have it with organisations such as the Football Association, when they charge players with bringing the game "into disrepute". How can they ever find more than one player, or group of players, to have broken that rule? If they have ever found any player to have "brought the game into disrepute", how can they then ever, at any point, whether years or decades later, find anyone ever in breach of that in future? The game has been brought into disrepute, according to the ruling against the very first player who was ever found to have done that. It is was then, at that point, in disrepute. How can it ever, at any point thereafter, be "brought" into a state in which it is already in? Unless it is to be said that the organisation's own ruling that someone was guilty of bringing something into disrepute had thereby somehow immediately brought it out of being in the disrepute that they've found it was brought into* and somehow reset the whole position to a game no longer in disrepute (after their ruling) - however there is no expression or express finding that found that that was ever the case. So, as any previous ruling had found that someone had "brought the game into disrepute" it is thereafter impossible to "bring" it into that state in which it now already exists as being in. It has to be brought out of that state of disrepute first (which I've never seen any finding providing any evidence to show that it has) before it can be brought back into it again. Meanwhile, there was evidence that it had been already brought into disrepute by some player as that was their own finding. However, I guess that this argument will find no truck at all with any organisation that just make its own decision:rotfl:.

I just have an interesting way of looking at things:rotfl::rotfl:.

How can you bring something into a state in which it is already in?:huh: (And not just already in, but already in according to one of their own previous decisions.)

They should have a rule about "keeping" the game in disrepute and charge players with that, rather than "bringing" into something in which, according to any previous decision, it was already brought into, therefore can't be brought into anymore, since it has never been ruled to have come out of first before it can then be brought into.

*How can it ever be found to have been brought into disrepute and then, at that very same moment, with the finding, immediately be taken out of that state - was it ever in disrepute in the first place? Is there somehow a split second of disreputeness, at the finding, at the point at which someone was found to have brought it into disrepute, which they magically brings it somehow straight into a state of no longer being in dispute once more? I do not see that this is the case. It was brought into disrepute at the very moment that the player behaved in that way and they later found had indeed happened, and I don't see anything that brings it out of that state - no ruling has ever been made to say that the game (or anything) has come out of the disrepute that it was found to have been brought into and it's now impossible to bring anything into disrepute that has already been found to be in that state. Even though they keep wrongly finding future players to have breached the rule:rotfl:.

Thanks Bubbs. But if it is basically free money, I don't mind leaving £80 or so there for five years. Does anyone who knows about this sort of thing have any advice please?
