That was before my time then as i didnt get one:eek::(

There was a wonderful Boots thread which started me on this coupon and glitchy malarky. But I still have a few of the lovely gold bags which probably contained cosmetics or something similar.

Oh no.....they've been working today?:eek::eek:

I'm glad it wasn't just me. Went out tonight to get the sauces but still have a cupboard full of baked beans etc from the last glitch and the fridge is still stuffed full of Mullers. But I would have loved to partake of the WW -- was travelling home from holiday yesterday so there wasn't time to go shopping, sadly. How will we know if it is working tomorrrow please? I don't really understand how or why these glitches work and so can't work them out for myself.

And while I am in confession-mode, can I confess that NILDA happened when RL was overwhelming and I have absolutely no idea what it means except it is the signature of some truly wonderful and clever people who find lovely glitches and share them with us. Thank you...

That's what it was! :T:T:T

Mine is with the collection of boxes etc in which gifts sometimes go, like mini-hampers. It was a hard gold bag and I liked it very much.

I bought one of those stand-alone ones and like you realised that none of my pans would work. Mum got me some lovely ones from Costco for Christmas last year. I looked around quite a bit and they were very good value. If you are a member or know someone who is, I'd recommend looking there.

Hi Picasso..... Would they be the Circulon pans

+£9.80 cheaper

I spent £15, had no need of fillers and have an APG for £10.80 -- whooops! I was clearly not really paying attention to how much the jars cost or I wouldn't have got quite so many. I tend to prefer APGs to stay below the £10 mark.

Thank you, everyone who tested this and posted their shops.

No, they are Kirkland and say 'professional quality' on the bottom. It was a set of about 8 or so pans, not normal shapes and I love them. They included a steamer too. The only negative is that I would have liked glass lids but in practice that hasn't actually bothered me very much. Happy hunting!
