I visited M today. Two different stores neither selling Fuel:o

Funnily enough I got to the last one at whoopsies time:p

And to think I've been paying 10p for sushi all these years:eek:

Well that is unusual - not only it is unusual to have an approximate £85 vs £82 comparable bill and therefore £10.79 APG:j, they also used a discount card and got approximately £15 off, but the prices have appeared without the discount:rotfl:.

I'd been getting a few pence on each receipt:( and I thought this receipt was going to be hopeless but it's probably the best one I've ever had! I still lose out though, as if the discount card hadn't been used, as they've failed to pick up the 4 pack Sweetcorn Cobettes at M this time - even on full price vs full price and the 70p Aubergine does not compare against M (loose aubergine available in M at 50p) - the collection system is hopeless on fruit & veg. - so 'should' have been an additional 40p and taking me into £11+ which would have been the best womble I've ever had (I've never had any receipt other than my own give £11 or more).

There is no general glitch on the colleague discount cards. I've just tried another receipt from today, which was shopped for less than 10 minutes before the one that's given the big amount, but I've happened to check it later, and it did come back with the discount prices and no APG. I've rechecked the one with the £10.79 and it is locked in and still coming back with the same amount - first checked before the receipt in between that has taken the discount into account.

Just hope I don't go to the till and the checkout operator notices it as their own receipt:rotfl:.

Of course £10.79 is hopeless really as, if it were shopped for properly, it should have been at least £85 versus a competitor bill of half of that, so should have been an APG of at least £44:rotfl:. It looks good, but in the light of £10.79 "should" be at least £44, it isn't:rotfl::rotfl:. They have bought at least one item, on non-discount prices, that is more than 10% cheaper than M so that should have not been bought and the APG would therefore have been even better. So, all of these womble shops, even where they give "good" (or even "excellent") APGs, they should have been far far more than what they were!

Fabulous savvy:T:T:T
A great womble:T:T

Oh tweets:o

Super sleuth indeed. You need eyes in the back of your head:o

Clearly mam has to be well enough to come home. You keep a close eye on things and stand firm if you don't think she's well enough or you will end up as a full time career if she's not fullly mobile

I cant be full time carer I not trained to be one and they know that I have already told them I cant go every day I work and not prepared to do.

I wont waste my hand slapping him. He wonders why I don't keep in touch with him and when mum at home only see him if he visits and I am there.

Bro daren't moan at me he will get told if he dare try

I am keeping fit though lol all walking I am doing what with Poppy walkies and walking to and from home when not in work. When working I get taxi there and walk home .

Own up any male posters look after their family ? I am curious surely all men cant be bad

My bil is wonderful. He is 46 and has always lived at home. All the time my fil was ill he was the one running him to the hospital, he was the one cleaning up after him when he lost control of certain "functions" due to the spinal cancer, it was basically a reversal of the child-parent relationship. To be honest, if it hadn't been for him my fil would have had to spend a lot more time in hospital or in a care home. Now he looks after mil, takes her shopping, drops her off and picks her up if she goes out, takes her out for meals etc.

I can honestly say that without him things would be VERY different and not in a good way.

As Little Anons may not be quite old enough for their own accounts yet, they get payouts in Am4zon vouchers . For CoS you can have the same bank account or PPal linked to two accounts. CS/Q payout in Am4zon too .
