    Patience man!

    Presuming your slot was 8-10, they may wait till all of the orders for the slot are collected before updating - so should be 12pm at the latest for the results.

    :rotfl: I just didnt know how my order was listed, but they didnt know about it. It has been over a year and a half since my last one :p

    Any of the brown bottle/packets SD bronzers, fake tan, etc are RTC, the new range is all in a light pink. My local had put a few more bits in the clearance section today...

    Babysat Teeny yesterday while DD took a trip to Guildford. Did the Nanny thing and took her out to buy a comic. Think I need a glitch for next time nearly £4 for just the one. :eek:

    Just iron it, and give them the same one again, bound not to remember ;)

    Ended up buying one of those educational type ones with stickers and spaces to drawer pictures and stuff. Definitely only a one time use. :(

    Annoyingly I gave DD1 all her beanos that my dad used to take her down the corner shop to buy and she had them in a box along that mouldy wall in her bedroom, box was mouldy but she hasn't had the heart to open it up yet and see what the contents are like.

    Wish I hadn't passed them on to her after I looked after them. I could have got one out of the box each week for Teeny. :rotfl:

    thanks for this :(
    I had a list composed for tommorow - deeply disappointed about the biscuits - I thought as you can buy up to 12 packs and they were working out at 30p each then some woukd go in the food bank trolley - ours specifically asks for treats.
    The soup I am going to get anyway for cashback along with other COS items - but only 9 items in total now so no BM
    I was looking at mysupermarket and trying to figure out which vesions both stores sell - I think before Christmas I coukd only find 2 versions. Anyway it does not matter now, just 5 different soups for cashback

    Count Arthur Strong was amazing :D

    We moved seats in the interval as we were hemmed in in a middle section. Far better freedom of movement & view ;)
