    I immediately replied, due to being rather incensed at their wild accusation.
    However, there has been no reply to my second mail....yet.

    I notice from other threads that accounts are still being unlocked day by day so it may just be a case of not getting round to everyone yet.

    Assume they are looking closely at all accounts?

    If they are ours may remain blocked as I did end up (unintentionally ...for them anyway :D) with extras when the W4lkers Lunch promo was on and not paying attention, though I haven't used them since or even logged in.

    When I sent my second mail asking about the other accounts I stated that these would only be used with unique devices as per their new T&Cs.
    I'm going to give them to the end of the month, then give them a further 14 days to unlock after notifying my intentions before going to small claims.

    Had you kept money in them to make a claim worthwhile? Or on principle?

    afternoon all - mixed results in Mr T this afternoon - I want to re do this shop tomorrow with improvements - has anyone any suggestions of cashback items that I can add on or items that have MOCs?

    Firstly no SoBe yet again in my Mr T as it seems to be going off list and going half price :( - very annoying of Q clicksnappy to use us to clear the last bits of stock for them

    2ndly my store didn't have much in the way of the free Q yummies so I only got the one - since then it seems Morribobos is also a stockist so I can try my bigger store tomorrow

    3rd I had MOCs from the special flashed packs of Felix which were 2 for £5 in October but sadly not today and anyway there were no flashed packs left.

    so then I was left with 4 items crossed off my list and a shortfall of about £8 which left me in a quandary what to get to make up the difference. I had already got the pots and water which was all we needed so I risked it and just got some loose veg.

    I used
    6 hipp mocs
    4 upandgo free pack MOCs
    4 of the 30p soup MOCS

    Holding my breath as I handed over the MOCs and everything scanned :j

    So I went to the food bank trolley afterwards to deposit the Hipp, breadsticks and upandgo but then I had another thought and thought I might as well put the soup cans in as well.

    I ended up just taking the pots, onion, carrot and water home.

    So a shop that started out at £18.33 after the £3.83 brand match and the MOCs I paid 14p for - very much like the olden days :j

    Thank you to the kind and wonderful person who sent me the pdf earlier, you know who you are :T
    I had the fun of using MOCS and then the items went straight into the food bank trolley so you have twice over done your random good deeds for the day so now you can go off and be frivolous and wild and wicked :D

    I didn't expect the MOCs to scan but they did - I seem to think some places have put a till stop on them - or have I imagined this?

    I noticed in Mr sainsbobs on the reduced shelf at the back they have them for 70p - I don't expect the MOCs to scan in there though as I've had problems before using MOCS

    I am going on a short holiday tomorrow and have been clearing out the fridge. Whoopsied flowers went yesterday to a friend and another friend was given veg etc which would be off when I get back. Fridge is still healthily full with stuff which will be OK when I get back. I defrosted the freezers this morning and how have to try to shoehorn in some cooked chicken which I freeze in small amounts to use in stir fries. Defrosting the freezers was needed but the great prompt was the idea that it might liberate some space. But not enough for a duck. I am so sad because I love Delia's duck with port and orange recipe... Thanks, anyway, Bubbs.

    my Mr T also alongside the foodbank trolley has a collection point for things like sleeping bags for the local homeless hotel and also another collection point whereby some one has had the idea to do shoebox type gifts for homeless and there was a basket for donations.

    Not sure about this latter idea but even so its something to think about. Someone had put a tin of soup on top which I thought was maybe not such a good idea. I thin k tomorrow I might go and discreetly move that into the food bank trolley and put upandgo in its place instead.

    I am going to give this some thought though as I think I have some disposable razors which are always useful and plenty of spare mens toiletries like hair gel. I've possibly got spare chocolate as well - I read somewhere that people living on the streets really appreciate sweet treats.
