Afternoon luvlies

Just fired an email rant off to our tour operator. We were told to check the binder in reception to see when our transfer coach was collecting us next week. Before we left the UK, I put said tour operator app on my phone to download boarding passes etc.

Last page of the binder in reception is a page showing everyone's surname, the date of their departure and the coach number they need to get ALONG WITH THEIR BLOOMING BOOKING REFERENCE NUMBER :eek: I took a screen shot of the page!

I was able to add another booking to my app with another guest's surname along with their booking reference number - it brought up all their personal details including full name and their boarding passes :eek:

They are leaving themselves wide open doing this, talk about breaching data protection.

They are supposed to be contacting me within the hour, I'll let you know their reply

If you have the coupons from the mag, worth trying the Spekulatius spiced biscuits (weight 600 g of bickies). £1.39 with 40% off from coupon, c. 83p a pack.

I found the chocolate orange in smaller ex netto store and loads left. They were just in normal chocolate aisle, no big display. 50p sel and small sign saying 6 per customer.

We have a pack of those sitting on the worktop waiting to be sampled, just struggling to find a Tupperware big enough to store them in!

That's me all over style over substance:rotfl:

It's quite nice actually:D

When you pull the cork, ideally you should stop screwing in just before the corkscrew comes out of the bottom of the cork to avoid getting cork crumbs in the wine.

Customer service in my store didn't seem to know that. a gentleman was returning 2 items of ladies clothing and despite his protests would only credit back the original amount of points to his card, not the double up, they would not give him a refund in cash.

Anyone any other experience with sainsburys nectar double up refunds?

Hi Arthien, I bought some of these last year. I have seen them again this year in HB, there are 3 or 4 different designs and they cost 69p each. They are in the Christmas aisle on the top shelf where the gift bags and decorations are in my store. hth

Thanks Nellie, I went back today and got 3 different designs, but the one in the photo wasn't there. They weren't there at all yesterday so they must have restocked. For that price, I imagine even people running pound shops and Christmas pop up shops could buy in bulk and sell for a profit! Just got to decide whether to fill them with shortbread and then do fudge in separate cellophane bags, or whether to do 50/50 shortbread and fudge in the tins. Not sure whether the fudge might make the shortbread go soft though.

I have done this.... I left a short period of time, and then returned without the receipt, I got the full amount but on a gift card.

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are all well:) tweets good to hear that your mum is home:)
Haven't posted for a little while as RL seems to have been a little busy recently. Went to Essex for 3 days, into London for 1 day to see Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, also went on the London Eye again and to Sealife:) Monday night went to Liverpool to see David Essex :smileyhea. Wednesday I was in mhoc's neck of the woods at the Olde Manor Carvery. Didn't visit any supermarkets there though so it wasn't me that has had all the U & G's (haven't even had any coupons for them) :rotfl::rotfl:
I will try to post more often:) Oh and I need to go to Sainsbury's, I have £218 in points that I need to spend while the double up is on :j
Enjoy the rest of your day everyone

you were on my patch!
Old Manor carvery is something else now, cant think what - if its the one I am thinking of opposite the Esso garage and liitle Tesco.
I was out all of Wednesday
My Mr T, bigger version still has not restocked with u&g - just wondering if the S-O-T lurkers have invade my territory
