    DM did you go look for the port sets today, Snap posted to say she found them for £1.25 in her store today. Will be last chance today as they are dated the 5th.

    I found this pack this afternoon, cider with cheese, still £2.50, and best before 04/01 :eek: Would have bought it, had it been under a quid.

    Was thinking about you today, as hadnt seen you , glad that you are getting freedom :D
    Just behave!!:p

    Hello bubbs, yes I will behave. I have accepted the fact that I can't be as active as I used to be.

    I think the last 2 years have been the most awful for me, healthwise that us. It's just over a year now that I was diagnosed with COPD and this cold damp weather is no good for that either. I think I'll be a hedgehog or a hamster and hibernate :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    So you move out tomorrow, big day for you and busy no doubt. I was going to say It must feel like a big holiday to you really , but of course you have to work :o :rotfl:

    Hello all, went to T's and picked up the last 4pks of toilet rolls, used the ss and scanned at £2.23 BUT when I went to the till it came up as £4.45:eek:
    Got another scanner out to show them the scanned price and took it to customer services and got a very reluctant refund after a lot of faffing about. Supervisor took a photo of the barcode - first time I've seen them do that.

    I've never seen that happen before :eek: Anyone else seeing this ?
    You'd think the same barcode would scan on scanner and tills at the same price :eek:
    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.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    I've seen it once before, I think it was a couple of years ago when the chocolate oranges were going through at 1p. They scanned at 1p with the hand scanner, so I picked up about 10, then they went through on the tills at £2.50 each, so I had to pretend I'd forgotten something so I could hastily put them back on the shelf!!!:eek::eek::eek:

    I would complain! It's not your fault something was out of stock after you placed the order. £3.95 is £3.95 out of your pocket at the end of the day and we are all here to save money where we can.:)

    I wasn't sure if I was being unreasonable or not.

    I rang my mortgage company earlier to do an overpayment and I was chatting to the lady and she said I can make overpayments via internet payments :) I did not know this so I have decided any payment/TMF/COS etc back I get I'm going to pay it off. Looking at what some ppl are getting back it should make at least a £1000 difference
    I have dyslexia, so get used to my spelling and grammar :)
