    Ooh I might be on the right lines, found this on the local library website and it even mentions "Nook" :T

    The books from library still have use by dates, there is also Calibre that would be good to down load.

    Thanks for your help E :A

    I think I will wait and let DD download the books from her library card, I might choose something she doesn't want and it says you can't return them early. :eek: But at least that's a start to reducing her luggage if she can at least borrow 5. :cool:

    I will look at Calibre. :)

    I've replied thank you. It's taken far too much of my time today to get as far as I have. :o

    Hi Emarald. Not sure if it helps but the sugar just appears as sugar on the receipt. Maybe you could just get some other sugar which costs £2 instead? I accidentally ;) bought caster sugar as I use it more than granulated. Receipt has been processed fine. :)

    thanks for this - hopefully COS will renew this freebie overnight. I am convinced our local does not stock this as I seem to remember issues with jam sugar last year ...

    Superdrug have quite a lot of their bagged Easter stock reduced eg mini cream eggs for 50p and Galaxy mini eggs for 50p and also the tiny Lindt bunnies for 12p - these would all make good bribes for kids and OHs :D

    This reminds me that last week I bought a couple of bags of reduced wine gums for 25p each for OH.I got an email a few days later with a shoppers survey to complete which gave me 60 points - OK not life changing but still better than nothing.
    So even for tiny purchases remember to use your Superdrug beauty card.

    I have a couple of questions for you lovely people if you don't mine :)


    I used an APG on SS today, scanned voucher as normal, then receipt. Then when it got to the accept/reject screen, I clicked ok automatically without realising my voucher was on the rejected side.


    Anyone know why it goes to rejected?


    and now I've scanned both apg and receipt can I use it again (even though I haven't used it as it was rejected?)


    TIA <3

    And in Home Bargains they had very tall oblong tins with embossed designs - four different sorts eg white with pink tulips, black and purple flag irises etc for £2.99 each. I think they had shortbread in but I think when the biscuits are gone the tins would look fabulous for storing other things eg cat/dog treats. tea lights etc
    I know there are a few Elites also obsessed with tins :D

    They also had The secret life of pets sets - egg, keepsake tin and stationary set - were supposed to be £4 but Home Bargains are selling these for 99p. I suppose you could put the tin and stationary aside for Christmas stockings and eat the eggs now :D

    In theory yes, in practice it probably won't work so try a cashier and they may put through manually.
