    Oh TM, so pleased you are OK, what a way to go that would have been.........
    No sign of M&S 20% for me:mad:

    have you not had Marks 20% vouchers in the post?
    or have you checked online, log onto your Marks Sparks accout - my 20% automatically applied since Wednesday without imputting any codes?
    Are you doing an online order?
    If so Pm me as I have 'friends and family' and I will send you some pics - very peculiar script on them this time but I can just about make it out

    Can I ask please if anyone would recommend Salter pans? I would quite like a pan I can put from hob to oven and S have one for £19.99 which I could get in the double up.

    It seems you shouldn't open the android pay envelopes with less than a minute between them:( I had two to open and opened one then went to open the other and it had disappeared. This has happened before 3 times! I thought it was only that you had to wait a minute before paying for your next item. I have a lot of small bananas, time to make banana bread:) Poor day today with only one £3 greggs and 7 entries.

    ta for the warning - I am going to slow down when opening mine - mine you from my 4 this morning all I got was 3 drawers and a coke from Marks :(

    Took OH and Errant son out this morning, mainly to figure out what to do with the broken screen.

    OH was looking forward to buying up Greggs thanks to android pay :)

    So we got 2 breakfast deals - coffee, juice, 2 bacon baps and I had a cheese and bacon pastry wrap - this used up a £5 Greggs (breakfast meals are £2 up here) with 65p to pay - its a QR code so very straightforward.
    Then Errant son who is always still hungry got a breakfast baguette meal for £3 - bacon baguette and coffee - shared baguette with dad - the coffee I took to the homeless chap in the shop doorway close by.

    He was only a young chap reading his paperback - I wondered what his back story was.
