Nope no offer on my account
Thanks for posting anyhow.

nor on mine but I seem to think its a one time offer so if you have ever had the top up £5 offer in the past then it wont appear again - I seem to remember getting it just before Christmas.

Good afternoon Elite :hello:

Another gloriously sunny day, other than that, it's rather like Norwich Peregrines, nothing doing :rotfl: :rotfl:

Sorting out toiletries to take, threw out a few makeup bits, I've no idea how old they were but well out of date.

Hope everyone is having this beautiful weather. Maybe tweets isn't, I know it rained on her yesterday :eek:

Hugs to the poorly Elite and special healing vibes to those suffering in mind and body. You're in my thoughts xx

Time for a quick lunch of pasta and chicken, tummy rumbling :rotfl:

Much as we like those crisps, .I do wish they would do the offer on the Meaty ones.

Too late for the H&B VC offer for me
Not a good day. :money: wise so far .
Might have to go and treat myself to some mullercorners to make up for it

It seems rather quiet in M with not much change today (I also managed to find some good items on the RTC shelf in my own store for the first time:rotfl:) - I thought there were going to be lots of price changes but checked through my list earlier and could only see four items due to have expired - one of them, the Bold 24 at £2.77, seems to have expired so far - seems to have gone to £6 (price changed in two separate places in my store so I am more towards moving to £6). I can't say precisely what seems to have expired just yet as I have further stores to see - oh for the days when I had a single store and just took the prices displayed there: I must have been giving incorrect information on something (I probably still am but much less often now and only occasionally - I've scanned three items I have had my doubts about and all three are the prices I already have - to be fair, though, I must mention there was one item on Monday that I sneaked off the list after I was still on offer and I found it had really gone to full price). Some items on my list that I know are showing full price online (last time I checked yesterday) have been scanned instore and found to be offer price. So, if you see full price online but the item is on my list, it could be deliberately there. Whilst I can't state precisely what has expired - and even after my stores I could still be wrong:rotfl: - it doesn't look like much. In case I start to think the Young's Admiral's and Mariner's Pies have gone off RTC and back to full price, they are moving towards a downsized pack. I have scanned a 320g pack at full price today - I note the ones I have on my list are 340g. They have been better before on an mbuy than their RTC price, but maybe I am about to find they have gone onto cheaper RTC - at the moment, I have no stock of the 340g from one store, just the seem to be new 320g:(. As far as I have found at the moment, 340g are £1 RTC price.

When I went round the store for a quick initial look at the four 'due-to-expire' items (technically I suppose it's about eight if I count the Baked Crisps separately - they look to be rolling over so far but I have just one store not yet changing its SELs and it's early in the day), I thought the same as Monday, as if everything had remained static. I have found a small amount of change so far and there are new items to be added (also an old one that was missed last time:rotfl: - the Tiger Bread, I need to add the unsliced version - I thought I had seen a sliced version last time and added sliced onto the list. In fact the ones I had seen turn out to be unsliced so I should have added that one, but I have also seen sliced today that I missed seeing on Monday so it is correctly on the list, just needs unsliced adding. Sorry for what could have been a mistake but turns out is an omission. Sorry for the omission.) With a small amount of apparent price changes in M today (and a handful of items that I didn't have in my store before), there is therefore not zero change - I have never had an occasion yet when there were no price changes from one day to the next. But, not much and I will update after my other stores.

I have come late to the party on the Royal name. I think the name has already been chosen and can't think of any name that it could be, that isn't already there. I think really they missed the opportunity by jumping immediately for George the first time only for Baby X to be born on St. George's Day. Should have been George on George's Day but my mind is blank (full of M prices:rotfl:, not really) and I can't think of any name it could be. I can only think of Peter for some or on reason:rotfl:. But just in the context of "it's not going to be this name" - has that already been taken? Like I say, it won't be.

Bye for now:wave:.

Yes I seemed to have several H&B pages open so I shut them all down and went back to click on the green vouchercode button and started again - fingers crossed.

Now you have worried me. OHs George order from last week it is saying the Nero voucher should have been available from yesterday but its not showing yet. I have messaged them so hopefully its just delayed - they take a couple of days to reply. I've actually go the wrong sized shirts for OH so I need to swap them on Thursday, another annoyance.

I did 2 George orders last week - OHs was done later than mine. No idea what happened with mine, somewhere after the paypal page it all vanished. This week I have double checked everything - all confirmation emails and the paypal page etc ..

Sorry I've worried you , the email came through to voucher confirmed about 4.30pm yesterday. Fingers crossed for you. x

I did the order on the H&B page I had been taken too so assume that will be ok as I didn't see the other page until after.

I do have a H&B rewards card but not sure if it was linked as don't think I have done an online order before and I didn't seem to have an online account as it got me to register a new account. The rewards one does seem to be separate I can see my card through the online account now that I have put my number in but not sure if it will be valid as I did it after the order. I didn't want to go off on a tangent for a sake of a few points compared to a £15 M&S voucher. :rotfl:

Oh no that's a shame gocat, must admit I was surprised was still there when I got in I didn't leave town until 11.30 and I registered about 11.45. :cool:

We need reminders and alarms set for Wednesdays I think, seem to be some pretty good offers lately.

Fingers crossed for the Mullers instead.

They used to send out emails about 8.30 on a Wednesday morning but I've not been getting them recently. other than that I've got a calendar reminder for Wednesday mornings so I just log on, purse and credit cards at the ready and keep refreshing until something shows up

Oddly I was in Holland Barret on oxford Street yesterday, very very rare for me to go to H&B, getting something vaguely healthy (I managed to avoid MCds) as I'd forgot to eat breakfast or bring supplies with me :mad: - I just thought everything in H&B was very expensive. What I should have been doing was checking out the fruit, nuts, museli, granola and porridge for suitable items for a £20 shop!
