They told me tonight at my ASDA that they don't do £2 gift cards any longer and she gave me 4 x 50p smile vouchers instead. I didn't believe her at the time!

The smiley faces are for staff to give to customers if they are friendly.

The lady at the pizza counter often gives me one

I was told last week that you wouldn’t get a £2 giftcard if your overcharge was under £2. I asked him to go away and check:rotfl:

How are you Shirley?

Trulymadly - I bought a logic chest freezer a week before christmas to deal with the whoopsies. It is suitable for our garage. I had a fridge freezer in there before but when ds borrowed it when he moved he returned it and it did not work! Too expensive to repair so dumped it. Now I have this lovely big chest freezer the whoopsies have been absolutely useless here at christmas and I am hoping they will return as they were before the holidays. Trulymadly - I have an integrated freezer as well in the kitchen and certainly would not get rid of this keep yours plus one for the garage is my advice. Even though the whoopsies have not been so good I have still managed to fill it to the brim so save on the electric.

As my offer ended today I have tried the above with a new gmail account and separately after another reset with Mrs Anon’s and neither brought up a new Tap and Pay game or the other game) :huh:.

It is a puzzle.

Or does it possibly appear with the first payment ...? (Which is what the T&Cs suggest)

I think I have done the ultimate wash test.

23 years worth of dirt has been removed from a garment. Yes, 23 years...
The item in question is Robbie Williams' long-sleeved t-shirt. The doll-sized version, that is. He's been kept in his original box in various lofts and attics since 1994, has moved house at least 7 times that I know of, and was finally turfed out by DD in the run up to Xmas. But somehow, despite being boxed, the top he was wearing was discoloured and stained.

A quick wash in Daz didn't do it, but a 36-hour soak in Vanish Oxy Action has restored it to its former glory, and he's now wearing it again.

Could it be magic?

I’m getting rid of the integrated freezer from the kitchen to put in an oven.....I haven’t got a conventional oven. I’ll still have the freezer in the utility room though.
I was looking at the tall freezers for the garage as well as the chest freezers. I’m frightened if I get a chest freezer I’ll never see the bottom of it and might even fall in:rotfl: There’s less room in the tall freezers but they look so much easier to access.

Is that 11 of the exact same yogurts plus another and fillers tia??

Yes mrs lds, exact same. If you haven't got a trigger yog to break the m/buy you need to buy 11 same (+ one different). As APG can only match 10 of identical item, those 10 + the odd one will break the m/buy. You will need fillers if no trigger.

Thank you for this. DH and I kind of decided we would like older children. My Dh's son's came to live with us on the guidance of SS, and now DSS (17) is off to uni next year, already passed his driving test and basically a well rounded boy:rotfl:. Not really too worried about going in to our past, I have had the same job for 13 years now:eek: Go to work, come home hopefully flit out glitching:D, little kids that are at home go to school everyday, never late always clean and well fed:)
We'd really like to give other children the life our own children have received. Holidays, camping, theme parks, stability and a normal life. We have even spoken to our children to make sure they would be ok with it - they got really excited:beer:
What are the sort of things that they would turn you down for?


I was turned down as my husband left me last summer after 27 years of being together and they think it is too soon for me to take on another person that will have emotional issues when i am still dealing with my own and my two DD. I agree with them and maybe in 6 months i can re apply, they suggested after 2 months but on reflection i think i need longer. His decision to leave was totally unexpected and has caused a lot of heart ache.
I was looking to foster mother and baby as we have a spare room with an en-suite(converted garage).
I have always been a stay at home mum and have loved looking after my children so like you thought i'd like to give something to another person to help them on their life journey.
Good luck
