    I am very impressed with the £2 bras - all from Debenhams were they? Did you find them by just trawling through the website?

    I would not mind a quick trip to Birmingham to do a Debenhams click and collect - if c&c is free?
    I had a drastic sort out if bras over the last few months - most of my collection went into cloth recycling or the newer ones went to the charity shop - finally resigned to my chest never being the shape it was ever again.
    So before we went away in March I really needed to restock as I had just one everyday bra! I found 2 in Sainsburys Tu sale half price for £6 - t shirt bras flesh coloured right size and fit. THe only snag is these are full coverage so under lower cut summer tops and dresses they peek out over the neckline! so the search for skimpier lbras is on :)

    Well, on Tuesday went on a shopping trip, planned to finish at As which I did then realised that I had left the APGs at home:mad:
    Bought a few things from my list, and a couple of new bras, 4 bras, that fit for the price of 1 in Debenhams.

    I knew I would get an APG for my shopping, but, mr P picked up the receipt from the table and had oil on his hands, can't read 4 numbers now:mad: When I have a spare hour or 2 I will try all of the possible combinations!
    So this evening, after a cheap dinner,my friend gave me 2 sea bass, bit bored, a no drink night :rotfl: I thought pop to As, get the few bits I need and use up those APGs and might get lucky with the whoopsies.


    Whoopsie wise 7.30 obviously too late for chilled and veg except 8 parsnips for 5p. Loads of bread, rolls, flat breads etc at 5p a pack, bought as much as the freezer will take.
    Well the £1.73 apg went through ok, but not the £10.22, receipt didn't match...... It didn't, but I was sure I doubled checked this, back home, been through all my receipts, can I heck find it and also no other receipt shows me as having used it!!:eek:

    On the plus side, I think, found 2 more bras, which now I don't need, but bought them anyway at £2 each:T
    BUT, From the savvy side of the shop The blinking APG site doesn't want to know the numbers!

    I'm giving up!

    Well thats our weekend turned around.
    Eldest son is on a course on a base near Bristol so he is coming up to see us this weekend :j tonight actually (as his GF has gone to see her mates in Germany) so there is no point in him trawling all the way home.
    At least the house has been scoured in the wake of Errant son being away even if there are only 2 beers in the fridge!

    excellent.
    That reminds me of sonething I read on the dark side about stores running out of £5 vouchers ... but if I did find £2 bras and have an excuse for a trip to Birmingham then thats something ...
