    APG didn't pick up the £1 price for the Pick Ups in M.

    BUT I had a different agenda on this occasion ;)

    Last week on the SS tills the MOCs for the Pick Ups were rejected by the till after i'd put my money in. The SA called the Supervisor over to put through the MOCs but the Supervisor said they couldn't take them. I said that I didn't want the biscuits then. They messed up cancelling them and the till spit out the receipt having charged me for them. I said not to worry and that I would go to CS to get a refund.

    Meanwhile I'm putting through my second shop and I spot the Supervisor going over to CS and I thought "I bet she's telling her not to accept the MOCs". Anyway I get to CS and I'm explaining that the till wouldn't take my MOCs and the SA says i'll just check and she phones the same Supervisor who just refused them as I can see her answer her phone and then tells me that they can't accept them. I said that I just wanted a refund. So refund given.

    Anyway I get home and I notice that the receipt didn't show the £2 for £2 for them anyway but I wasn't worried as I hadn't bought them and got the APG £3.38 v £1.69 W anyway.

    So this week I decided to get them again and this time I went through manned till who put through MOCs. Multi discount not given so off to CS for a £2 giftcard. So after MOCS £1 paid, £2 gift card received and APG £3.38 v £1.69 again. Don't you just love Sada :rotfl:

    I am very annoyed. At the end of last week my OH had a card through in the office saying a letter had been underpaid. It would cost more to get to that sorting office to look so he paid the £1.50 thinking it could be important. It arrived today. It was a mailing from Howdens in an A4 envelope with an ordinary 2nd class stamp on it:mad::mad:

    I have emailed them.

    I went to Swanage end of last year.......it rained :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Actually was down to photograph Durdle Door ;) Never trust the weather forecast. One tutor liked my image - thats because he wasn't aware of the place :eek::eek: The other tutor hated it :D and much preferred my Pembrokeshire image. He's my tutor for next year but think he is the tutor to get the best out of me.



    Stari Most was my main main reason for going, growing up was a kid and seeing the bridge destroyed on the news I just knew that one day I would go. We stayed with a family who made us feel very welcome, i'll never forget their hospitality. But the scenery is just wow, weaving our way through the valleys and the road to Sarajevo, you can see the city from miles back, it just one long straight road that takes you to the centre.

    My first attempt at taking a panoramic. :D

    DD3 noticed there are couple dodgy bits. :rotfl: sure you will notice them Westie. ;)

    We're getting married on Saturday. This never occurred to me (heads off to find out if VW camper vans and KIA sportages have interior handles)
    Congratulations Legette :beer: At the wedding I went to earlier this year the bride had a camper van to take her to the church and it was really nice and has plenty of room inside of course :)
