It looks great Hampy!

Thanks , getting exciting now - as we are only 5 minutes up the road we tend to pop in and see how they're getting on a few times a week, usually when they've left for the day as don't want to get under their feet.

I've had to put my foot down re DH's study and asked the builders to move the wall between the living room and study over 500mm to give us a longer living room. It's not as though the wall has been built yet but you should have heard DH kicking off saying he wants a nice big study. Er excuse me, how long do you spend in there during the day - eventually he saw sense :rotfl:

well I said I had a bad feeling about this. Just after midnight I had an email through which said one of my amazon submissions had been allowed but one would not. They said it was because I had done 2 duplicates back in April and I had been warned about this. So 2 unacceptable submissions out of 280 in the last month, probably when I had those weird failure to upload messages which then did go through afterwards- Oh account has had a temporary ban since mid April which seemed to finally be lifted today.
Then an email came in with the Amazon code and another email saying the 2nd submission had been disallowed because of suspicious behaviour but it didn't specify what this suspicious behaviour was.
The 10000 points have not gone back onto my account either
deep sigh. I should just have done one submission and then waited a week or so before doing the 2nd one
when the ban first went on they said the system was all automatic. it could not be lifted until I had submitted as many successful receipts as I had done failed ones but obviously I already had done. But then if the system is automatic why can they block an application for an Amazon voucher ...



QUOTE=mhoc;72522403]afternoon all, sunny outside but still a little chilly

Just uploaded my shopprize receipts for the day. OHs account had a temp ban on it - temp since mid April :mad: Ive emailed them a few times to ask for the ban to be removed. They said though it was automatic and I had to wait until the number of acceptable receipts equalled the number of bad ones - there was only ever 2 bad receipts in April and one went through in May as a duplicate but I am convinced this happened when it said 'failed to upload' So I did the snaps again and the coins added but with no notification so I wasn't sure which receipt had actually gone through.

Today though as I was uploading when the nasty red exclamation mark finally disappeared :j I was up to over 20 k - so I claimed two £5 Amazon gift certs. Sadly neither have appeared in OHs inbox yet :mad:
I should really have screen shot everything as I went along but I was working on OHs phone which is different to mine
So now I am convinced I wont get the Amazon gift certs at all :mad:

Ive messaged them but as they have not been helpful over the last month I cant see them being helpful now either ...[/QUOTE]

In small asda superstore yesterday I noticed in the toiletries aisle lots of products that were in offers (3 for £10 and 2 for £4 etc) have gone onto roll back but they were busy stocking up the small seasonal aisle with the 3 for 2 promotion - get the cheapest product free. There was no signage for this in toiletries aisle in this particular store, nor any offer on the SELs, only on the 3 for 2 displays.

As yet I can't find any links on mysupermarket or asda website. Anyone wombling/finding any wombles with the promo on, even if they don't yield anything, it might be worth checking out the 3 for 2 comparison.

I did take some pics but haven't a clue about posting them up.

Anon worth a look at the deodorants

So rough list:
Colgate/Sensodyne/OralB toothpaste and toothbrush packs
Mouthwash
