    Hi everyone, haven’t been on here for so long!!! Hubby was taken very ill on the first day of our month long cruise last Christmas and has been getting worse until he was admitted to hospital in July. He stayed in for 3 and half weeks and was diagnosed with Membanous Glomerular Nephritis. His ammune system attacks his kidneys. He was swelling up with fluid and said he felt like he was drowning. I thought at one point I was going to lose him. Any way I waffle on, now he is starting to feel better and I want to buy him a 55 inch television. There was one in Argos on sale but now it’s gone. I am wondering if any of you have seen any good deals on 55 inch TVs or if you think I should wait until the Black Friday sales? Thanks

    Hi Rosy, What I time you've both had. I've no idea about TVs but I'm sure somebody will be along soon who does.

    Are we absolutely sure 100% that these pain chocolate are the correct ones for COS???

    My receipt has been rejected as not having any cashback items even though it consisted of pain chocolate :mad:

    I've emailed them and sent a picture of the receipt and the packs - Treacle cat is also in the picture, its impossible to take a photo without at least part of a cat getting in the picture.
    Usually when I take receipt pictures its Sophies butt :)

    But these are the only pain chocolate they make so I cant see how it can be the wrong ones

    So a free(ish) meal last night again.

    My dear grumpy one rang from the local and said 'are you coming across 'cos T has something for you' Quick bit of slap and I'm out the door. She gave me 4 lovely big trout, already gutted and cleaned. 1 was enough for us both with a few new pots and some whoopsied veg - lovely.

    It's not doing anything for clearing the freezer though. I've also had to re-plan menus and doing a lot of looking and sniffing so that my other whoopsied veg and Sunday's chicken won't be wasted.

    Dh bought my wine so no spend there:beer::beer:

    They have to be the right ones - they only have a few items in their range. And we had them free on COS before.

    help@checkoutsmart.com

    send them pics of your packets and your receipts and aks then to reconsider

    my postcodes end in 002357 - do yours?

    I've just looked at mys and what Morrisons stock and they only produce 2 versions so how can they not be acceptable :(

    hello,

    ive just returned from coop its rtc time :) always lots of goodies but 75% off is the lowest they go, but as its only a couple of minutes away and no parking charges im happy.
    anyway had a look at the brioche
    in my shop they have choc au lait that are £1 they look like the choc au pain that we have bought before but the pic on cos is different to the one in the shop.
    I didn't buy as I thought they were a different product, or are they just rewording the product??? I didn't check b/c but can go back tomorrow on the passed crisp hunting at T :D

    I am glad you said this - I was starting to doubt to doubt myself.
    It is quite possible that its a change of packaging which incidentally is why they are on cashback - they are using us to clear the shelves of older stock.

    When I bought the pulsing bars last month for cashback the boxes looked absolutely nothing like the picture on the app
