    :( My Kipling has dropped in price since yesterday - now £28.73.
    Too late to cancel first so have had to buy another & will return first one :o
    What's the odds it will be even cheaper tonight.............

    aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrggggghhhhhhhhh

    :rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi, Snap :)

    Just called Amazon CS, as the Alvar I ordered last night has dropped by 92p
    The kind lady processed a refund for the difference, so it's worth a call :beer:

    Lees Jam Teacakes 10 pack are 2 for £1.50 in M. However, it would only take the 14 pack, which have gone up to £1.25 in A and look like they were regularly £1 in Iceland and T, to go back down to £1 for them to work out better. (This assumes that the weight given on msm is correct - if not, the price per unit will have to be recalculated accordingly.) I have the 10 pack in M as being 166g rather than the 184g that msm has, so msm's price per unit on the mbuy for M looks better than what it is. They are on mbuy with Lees Snowballs (10 per pack - 166g). Again, I think bakery items are probably best waited to be picked up as whoopsies that will be a lot cheaper than these prices.

    I have just collected my cc order from Asda and was a bit taken aback when the guy who trolleyed my shopping out to my car just stood there with it and made no attempt to load any of it into the car boot. Always before, they have checked the order with me, mentioned any subs or missing items and then put the stuff in the boot. This guy said he wasn't allowed to take anything out of his trolley incase he broke it or any bottles spilled out in my boot ! He didn't even think to mention to me that nearly half my order was missing.

    I've never come across this before - am sure it says on their web page that staff will pack the goods in the car for you. Am I imagining that ?

    Sometimes mine have taken 2 days:eek:

    Eeeek I will be having sleepless nights :eek:
    It was the same guy that bought the c&c out yesterday and today. He always apologises that there are no razors. Bless him lol.
    But dont make sense to me that yesterdays still says waiting to be collected and today is collected, but as you say nothing I can do but wait :eek::eek:
  • My C&C had no razors, paid just over £2.70 for the stuff I did get. My legs are going to be soooooo hairy ;);)

    Afternoon peeps.

    Can I ask the Kipling owners if the art bag can be used over the shoulder as a shoulder bag with the short handles or is it a grab bag?
    Tia.
