We went to town, actually not our nearest but its one easy to get 2, couple of stops down the M6, all the shops we needed and parking for 2 hours is free
So we came off the motorway, first time we have been in about 2 months, new housing estate built in the meantime, another old house knocked down ready for development ....so many changes in the last 12 months, town Center unrecognisable. new shopping park built to one side and so everything has closed down in half the town ...
I really thought, this might have been my home town 25 years ago but now I really over it, it no longer has any meaning or association for me and there is nothing for me to come here for ...
Very saddening

We visited 2 weeks ago, must say I was disappointed with the new development.
I think the council should concentrate on town centres instead of opening all these out of town shops.
Years ago i visited your other town nearly every week for the shops and what was once a brilliant market, but that has gone the same way and is too spread out, leaving the central areas very depressing.

Yes I don't know what the answer is, where else to try for doing bits and pieces Saturday shop ...
A few years ago we were going up to Northwich for shops about once a month but then we had a prang so we have never been since.
I am thinking we ought to maybe explore in the other direction - maybe Whitchurch, Oswestry .... somewhere in that direction
Possibly Wrexham is our other option but its a bit of a long drive but when I renew our National Trust passes then we could go via Errdig on the way back and make the trip worthwhile ...

Anyone know what cut off time is for Parcelforce delivering a parcel please ?

In my store the SEL is £5 each and the scanner shows £5 each too .

Were these £2.50 on the shelf or could the till show a different price to the scanner and sel please? Checked at the till and it is showing £5. Is this the old package design?

I have checked Extra.

Many Thanks

Anon

This is in a Superstore.
The BC ends in 8309

On aisle shelf as £2.50 SEL & on end of aisle promotion shelf as £5 SEL
It maybe old packaging, so BC maybe different on newer version
This looks like the new version - the writing is inside the lower right circle



this is old version (mine)

Morning luvlies

Glitch on Santuary thanks to 10 Ways, worked fine for me

1) Add The product in this link to basket. http://www.sanctuary.com/en-gb/just-because/
2) Go to basket and insert code on 10 Ways page where it says voucher code, this will give you a free gift (duplicate of what you have just put in your basket)
3) Then choose one free sample (from the bottom of basket page)
4) Remove the original £10 set you added first
5) Leaves you just £3.75 to pay (postage)

Thanks Hampy and TM. I did one to add to my stash. A good gift but not so cheap that I wanted to do lots!

Have a look in mine as well - I don't think there is much in there to spark any culinary flames of desire ....

Visited Sister.
Update is we are going on Monday for Pre op.
Wednesday is biopsy of tongue, throat & gullet

Warned her they may knock some of her teeth out :eek: She has perfect teeth with NO fillings at age 51 - that is stressing her more than the biopsy

Oh Snap, I am so sorry. I think that would stress me more than anything too. Is that really a possibility?!

No I am very bad and didn't spot it last month!

Also just lost half an APG because they linked accounts which took me over limit. I managed to un-link before claiming 2nd APG.

Hi Pacifica, glad you are sharing the fruit of your experience though.

And how did you unlink the accounts please? I used to run two accounts and then they somehow linked them, not sure why or how.
