    S was out of Prosecco .....they only had the huge bottles left. I think DM had jinxed me. So I got the Rose after all:)
    You didnt want to buy that muck anyway, the pink is much better. Of course you could have just saved your voucher until they re-stocked tomorrow.
    Gold and sapphire earrings? No gold and no sapphire.

    Photo shoot - normal for photo shoots as in total scam.

    Makeup course - non existent.

    Basically it is an advertising site with no checks run on the authenticity of the deals.

    Watchdog opened an account with them with a non-existant company and non-existant deal and they could easily have made it live.

    My niece and a person at works daughter got bit by this one.

    oh no, wheres izzey. this is her job. have we missed a wine glitch offer ending today

    edited. just checked bottles that are in the offer showing for me. and its all a nono

    it looks like they done their new trick of reducing the price of the single bottles as its the last day

    :D Sorry zippy, but when I posted the Up & Go voucher at 3.09 am (this morning), I had already seen this and checked out all the comparisons.

    And there weren't any. When the offer started, Asda put all the bottles down to a fiver. It did occur to me this morning that they might have gone back to the pre-offer price, Asda being Asda.

    So I went to Asda this morning, I went armed with my list which I prepared earlier, to check out the wines

    Jacobs Creek Merlot Pre-offer £6.48 Waitrose £5.59 £38.88 v £33.54
    Hardys Nottage Hill Chardonnay Pre offer £6.00 Morries £5.00 £36.00 v £30.00
    Hardys Nottage Hill Cab Sauvignon Shiraz Pre offer £6.00 Morries £5.00 £36.00 v £30.00
    Wolf Blass Red Label Shiraz Cab Savignon Pre offer £7.00 Morries £5.00 £42.00 v £30.00
    Wolf BlassRed Label Chardonnay Sem Pre-offer £7.00 Sainsbobs £5.00 £42.00 v £30.00
    Barefoot White Zifandel Pre-offer £6.50 Tesco £5.00 £39.00 v £30.00
    Jacobs Creek Savignon Blanc Pre-offer £6.48 Waitrose £5.49 £38.88 v £33.54
    Blossom Hill White Zifandel Rose Pre-offer £6.00 Tesco £5.00 £36.00 v £30.00

    Unfortunately all the wines were still priced at a fiver and the £7 one (which would have been great for an APG), was marked from £7 to £5 on rollback.

    The muffins didn't compare to anyone last time the offer ended, also ended today the hotdog rolls, which didn't compare anywhere either :(

    Sorry but I'm in the sprout camp. You can't have christmas without sprouts :rotfl::rotfl:





    Evening boys and girls :D

    Morrisons have magnums of prosecco for £10 :beer:


    All this talk of shopping in Florida makes me want to go back and spend a week shopping. No Disney at all. Volcano bay would have to be on my list, as would universal city walk and both parks :)

    Definitely a spring chicken. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::A
