I bought 2 lots of the Monopole champagne - one set in a box and one set just in the bottle - only one worked - not sure which one as they have the same barcode.

Has anyone else got this one and can confirm which one works? Thanks

Hi I brought another 3 today and they were boxed £27.10 APG

3x Heidsieck & Co Monopole Blue Top Brut Champagne (75cl) £81.00 £60.00

Do you mean the one on top ? They used to have one at the bottom too years ago and delicious coffee flavoured cream ones .:( Also the chocolate was formed in swirls from bottom to top not like now where they are moulded to look like that.

Yep, same as Roses hazel whirls, no more tasty edges on those either.

Oh heck ... my V M internet and tv have gone off :eek:.

So much for negotiating a new deal .

This approach (cancel, order elsewhere) has worked for others but not for me .

Any ideas?

Thank you

Anon

Do you actually have an order in with another provider?

I cant think you can do anything other than call VirMin and ask what they can do but imagine they wouldnt offer the best deal..

Might be best to go with other provider if you have one in place

I've always done mine in the photo booth in M.
Was a fiver last time though!:eek:

Afternoon peeps.

I think mine was £6 last year - dire photos always and yes its not a very MSE amount but its 60p a year so then its not so bad. Or if you go away twice a year then its 30p a trip

If you are trying to do your own photos and the technology is not working and it takes you 2 hours to finally get a suitable photo and get it uploaded, then 2 hours on say minimum pay of £10 that's £20 - you could have been in Sada doing a wine shop if you just got photo booth photos and trotted off to the post office

Yes!
No walnut on the top.
Just called whips!
Very misleading as they are the same colour box.
I remember the original ones as well with the walnut inside.
Everything is getting worse/smaller/inferior.

I am sort of struggling to save the pennies just now DH needed a passport and we got the pictures and link for the passport application for £9.99 in Timpson's. Application submitted within minutes, picture uploaded as if by magic and old passport sent back today

We leave in 4 weeks so I am hoping it comes through in the suggested time frame

My picture is terrible, can't believe how bad I look. Don't you have to sent a passport size picture?

I just attached the pic from the iPad, as I said did the same for dh passport so thought if good enough for passport..., it was accepted and as it's on the back no one sees it anyway, and believe me I look awful

Sue I must admit £5 is frightful but I did it online as just wasn't up to a trip out to a photo booth and needed to renew the bb, and it took so little time and effort I would always do it this way

Any time now they'll produce the new improved Polo mint - the one with the bigger hole. :rotfl:
