I am still not getting waities cond spends:( been 18mths since i had any apart from what someone else gave me

Last week I had an excellent shop in waities using my conditional spend with two books and a newspaper coming to six pounds. I did not have a coffee cup with me unfortunately but the sa accepted my coupon. Today SA was not playing ball and said I had not spent enough even though I had my TCB chocolate and 2 lots of 6 pints of milk. So they have lost a good customer as i wont be going back to try the other conditional spends of two off ten! I said she can keep the newspaper and mags but needed the other bits. So bubbs it is SA dependent so dont lose too much sleep over not getting any vouchers.

You can still say you want a coffee, even if you dont have your cup with you cant you. That would add another £2 to your shop.

It works on the self scan so no need for a cooperative sa and as mentioned you can 'pay for' a coffee even if you don't get it.

Your vaccum cup could very easily be in the car - put the shopping in the car and then come back iinto store for your coffee

I work in a bank, and have never heard of the 5 bags a day rule, i often take 10-20 per customer, especially with Christmas coming up.

And we have pay them in over a certain amount for reason of money laundering purposes, so there is a paper trail.

Nationwide only take 5 bags:(

Slowly - the garage has been plastered - and is being painted at the moment (two weeks of painting - and still not done - I am sure OH does not work when he is there! - I have asked him to ensure it is done for this Friday).

We have kept living in our house for the last 4 years to be near mum as I saw her every night as she has dementia, but she is going into a residential home when she is discharged from hospital (this is the best thing that can happen for her) - so we will be free to live where we want to so we will be moving into the garage in spring. x

I feel rather liberated as I have had caring responsibilities for the last 30 years....:D:D:D:D.

You wont know where you are, sounds best for her though:T:T
