Morning

Does anyone know if Ts delivery saver trial, free wine delivery codes are now personalised? I've only just signed up and neither of the codes over on the codes board work for me. They used to when I had delivery saver before. TIA

Morning all

I have a busy day ahead We are having visitors to stay over and I need to tackle the housework rather than frequent the shops again Carry out for dinner tonight as Friday is always an Indian meal for them If the stay until tomorrow it will be BI

I bought one item while we were away as there was a serious lack of shops hence my frequent trips this week:D

Sainsburys had stationery RTC yesterday and had a pink A4 notebooks for 20p HTH

My house was full of visitors one year when we got back - mind you in a way it was a good thing as Errant son was in residence at the time so the visitors were cleaning and scrubbing down the kitchen for me to make it for for human habitation again.
We never do much shopping when we are away but its a novelty to wonder around strange supermarkets, figuring out the prices and looking for familar packaging.
One supermarket we visited in Ronne in August had a help yourself wine sampling station with a bottle set up with a tap like spirits bottles are set up in pubs

Ta for the Sainsburys stationary sighting, we are headed in that direction this morning.
But it reminded me that I have a few new notebooks stashed away from previous sales that would be perfect for the Christmas shoe boxes.
And then we are in town so I think we might need more shoeboxes

Anyone watched Palin in North Korea, fascinating.

Scamps, get yerself making some home brew!
(After dry October obvs)

We are watching that too, though we record it and watch it as and when (just in case we can't access catch up when we want to watch it). It is very interesting, and we have to keep asking just how much of the person to person interaction we can believe :eek:

Mystery reds back in stock.

Thanks Di, I've just ordered 2 boxes. :eek: :beer:

Did sign up for the delivery saver trial but they are not quick enough sending out the codes. :mad: I only really wanted the one box for old times sake, but refuse to pay delivery for it.

For anyone ordering wine boxes what happens now if they send you a dreadful selection and it needs to be returned?

Ive returned boxes to store before but it was a dreadful fuss as they didnt know what to do with them and they had to ring Twine up to process the return.

I am sitting on my hands this morning. ASda has done a very nice NZ in the 6 for £30 sale before so do I just wait and hope ....
Ive done a drink stock check recently and we are critically low but anything we get now will be drunk long before Christmas.

No idea, I've been lucky and never had a box I felt I needed to return.

I just wanted to have a last chance of ordering a mystery box in the hope something special might turn up.

Would kick myself if everyone was getting fine wines again like few years back and I hadn't ordered.

Now I have the delivery saver is it worth me looking into ordering the pork? Are substitutions still being made like the first lucky few had? :money:
