Sorry Arthien...I'm not sure I get your reply...what do you suggest I donate?

I think Arthien means that you could donate £10 worth of stuff, but being an Elite, it would only cost you say £3.

I just meant that with your Elite coupon/APG etc expertise, it would be easy to get something(s) to donate that would cost the average shopper £10, so you wouldn't feel bad about the value of the wine, but you wouldn't haven't actually spent £10, otherwise you might as well have bought the wine yourself!

I best go now before I spout any more gibberish

Oh I see thanks DM.....
Well lets hope for a good glitch this week then and I'll happily partake assuming its food bankable....

otherwise I still think I can get a reasonable amount of tinned items and the like with £10

I havent done any real glitching for quite a while although I do have plenty of RTC WUL from a few weeks back....but even donating all that would mean I still need to raise a fivers worth of stuff too.

I'd hand it in. I found food once in an Aldi trolley and gave it in.

I am eternally grateful to the customer who found my canvas shopper dangling on the trolley hook at A's and handed it in, because it contained my phone amongst other things.

Ditto the person who gave in my keys which I'd left dangling from the coin-slot - I'd used a keyring trolley coin and left them there.

a good few years ago I left my Sainsburys wallet in a trolley - I have separate pencil cases for each store with the loyalty cards and MOCs and tills spits etc.
When I got home and realised it was not in my bag so I rang the store but it had not been handed in.
I asked at customer services next time but sadly the answer was no. But on the 2nd visit it had been handed in - is must just have been rammed in the bottom of a trolley and the trolley at the end of the line and not used for a couple of weeks.
It did have inside some useful MOCs, receipts and a sainsburys gift card as well so it had monetary value but to the casual observer it just looked like a pencil case.

Roll forward a couple of months and another visit to sainsburys and I was stood in the till queue with the sainsburys wallet in my hand in readiness when the lady behind me recognised it - it turned out that it was this lady who had handed it in to CS so I got to thank her personally :T

I've never spent £10 on a bottle of wine in my life...and if I ever did I wouldnt leave it in my trolly ....I'd be cradling the stuff from the checkout to the car...

but I see your point....and appreciate not everyone knows that T sell mystery cases etc etc

I will I promise sort something out to the value of £10

I'm sorry we dont agree on this one Pyxis....
If I had left something in a trolly and not taken it out when packing it into the car I would be thinking that maybe I should bag my things better next time....but I guess we all live and learn and lose something every now and again.

I never meant to turn this into something that became accusational so soon in our refurbished home

(Mr D warned me I couldn't stay on good behaviour for long)

Bad packing or think they're going mad and didn't even pick it from the shelve. It's a good womble, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

Afternoon all

So pleeeeased we are back.

Thanks to Mse.Thanks to DM and TM for their hard work.

I must admit my wombling skills are much better than my computer skills.
We didn't even have calculators when I was at school.

I even had a job to find the arms on one occasion.

I've posted Mr Strewth's Brave the shave link on the charities board, not sure if I did it right but it's there

Not looking forward to him prematurely being a baldy :eek:

Here is the link to the charities board post, if anyone has a look at his brave the shave page please be assured that he is not a grumpy old so and so....he just looks like one :rotfl:
