    Thanks to whoever mentioned this yesterday, I needed some cheese today and that is the one I buy, so I walked in, walked out again by the stand and walked in again for the cheese :D Not bad for £2.10.

    Isn't it so annoying that they don't have them by the entrance as well :mad:

    Just bought the Taylors coffee bags for Shopmium....trying to request cashback, and when I scan the product barcode, it is saying item not recognised!!! I have bought the correct product, all 3 varieties....same problem on DH's mobile too. I have messaged them, so will await the outcome.

    thanks for this, hopefully if there are issues they will extend the expiry date while its sorted out.
    If its a product I am not sure about and one I don't normally buy I tend to scan the barcode while I am in the store just to be certain.
    This method would not have helped with these, I would have been scanning and swearing at the app, shutting everything down and starting again - you can imagine the blue fugg in the coffee aisle :rotfl:

    There seems to be a Christmas prize draw on the go as well but you need to buy and upload 4 products - chocolate gone and coffee being difficult so doing 4 is not going to be easy ...

    oo these are very pretty - I have a tin obsession :D
    These would be nice for holding the little Green and Black choc bars :)

    I got a very cute shortbread tin with 2 packs inside from poundland this week - red postbox on the top and a Radley dog :D

    Get outside and get some photos of the moon or something instead of causing trouble here:o:rotfl:

    :p:p:p

    Off to Scotland next week, West coast :D:D Fingers crossed for ideal weather - clear skies, mildish, dry, and Northern lights would be excellent. Am I asking for too much? :rotfl:
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

    Small shops? I hope Amex not the retailers pay for that promotion as otherwise I might fell a bit guilty about how much I hit it - DW and I just cancelled her Amex gold so she can be a new customer again soon but still have 6 Amex cards between us (I am currently a new gold customer, last thing DW did before cancelling her card was referring me :) )

    Fear not, they have had to opt in if the want to accept the promo and understand Amex pay.

    I don't blame you not going out again and am pleased you went ahead to get them to bring mum home. Why your bro wouldn't do it, I'd have throttled him :cool:

    Put your feet up, there's plenty of time for going out tomorrow, unless you're snowed in :rotfl: :rotfl:



    I went to Mr T this morning, got Selection Box, and .........................
    That was it. Reece's, they do have bags of but not pieces, they are called something else grrrrrr, I love that stuff :)

    I'm giving up looking anymore and just accept the fact that my store do not stock it :cool:

    Would love to be snowed in but mum wouldn't believe me ;)

    My little doggie has a sore back :o. I keep poking 20p pieces inside him :rotfl: :rotfl:
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.
