:)Just a little update.
Dad in hospital, catheter working :T but not the suppository :o
Since the stroke he has no feeling there & just can not 'go' even with prunes, licorice, prescription medications :(
:o:o Sorry if too much information but it is distressing for him ♥

Not too much information, hope your dad feels better:T:A
(Surprised that the licorice didn't do the trick, though ... from experience, and all that:o:D)

Evening All,

COS has rejected my Schwartz spices claim saying the receipt has already been submitted.

I did buying Carling on the same receipt and submitted that earlier so think that might be problem.

Just a warning to others that it might be better to put Carling on separate receipts.

Cheers,
Sad_Dad

Yes that will be the problem. It has happened to me too albeit there are times when I got away with it too. I'm not sure what their set up is but it's good at recognising anything that's been submitted before on any COS run set up even if it's valid.
They are very good of you query it by email and explain you are claiming 2 seperate offers on 2 different apps legitimately. I guess it's just a software thing that they can't get around.

When I saw how much we'd walked in a week, neither could I! We both said that we should have done the shopping part first given the chance I've always loved Skechers but then they got expensive...



Oh dear :rotfl: I'm laughing at the falling over but not the chipped ankle bit :cool:

More accurately a grown over rabbit hole (not a euphemism). It has never been the same since!

And FC, would you expect anything less?

Hiya PD (and everyone else, of course:)) ... so have you escaped from the People's Republic of Sheffield?
As long as your baking mojo survived and is thriving:D

I did indeed, although maybe going back in a month or so. Baking mojo is still here, just not the time at the moment. How are you?

I've been told I can wear Skechers for work so I've just ordered some from debenhams - who just happened to have then in the sale

Cheapest I could find otherwise was £48

Talking as someone who has been seeing a foot surgeon for a couple of years, sketchers and fitflops have revolutionlised my wardrobe. Can't believe you did Florida without a pair of sketchers. Dd got a lovely pair like lace ballet pumps the other week.
