For anybody worried about returning to Sainsbobs. I returned some jeans that were too big, paid for exactly with double up but was returned to my card? Not that it made much difference as I promptly spent it immediately on a jumper. Can't understand with jeans that clothes shops don't think that size 8/10 people have long legs.0

From comments on forums previously, they will generally refund to the payment method used for the rest of the transaction, but on occasion have given cash or a Refund Card.

Hi Tweets,Thank you for all your condolences
Mum was found unresponsive in bed so home called paramedics and they couldn't revive her :A
Bro tried earlier to take charge then DS shot him down and started ringing folk
My Aunty who been a great help is away 24th November - 1st December so I said right funeral will not be held then. Bro said I not having mums funeral Christmas Day :mad: So I said nor these dates he wont walk over me I am sole beneficiary of Will so if I don't agree with things he says tough.
Me and Poppy are ok she asleep me well I told DS go home he got lift here and had nothing with him not even wallet
but was I glad to see him. DS would have stayed but I said no I rather be on my own with my girl .
Bro went just after dinner.
We cant do anything til we get death certificate and coroner ringing on Monday.
He gets results on Tuesday of partners cancer but I not expecting good news
But will keep you all informed.
Thank you once again for all condolences I will be ok my girl will look after me
It sounds as if your mum passed away in her sleep, guess that's the best way to go, when we have to go.
Good for you for standing up to Bro, I know that's not always easy. You will say your goodbyes to your mother when and where you want to and Aunty will have to be there
Well done to your DS for being there for you today.
The waiting will be hard, but you and Poppy will get through it.
If it gets though just come on here. there are so many 'elite' friends here to support you.

I suppose there is a chance it all depends on the sa and what is the quickest method. Customer services have been mega busy this week and there's always been a queue.From comments on forums previously, they will generally refund to the payment method used for the rest of the transaction, but on occasion have given cash or a Refund Card.
