Think I've overdone it with the Knob Creek

The dried fruit for my Christmas cake has expanded somewhat :eek:

It will just have to be my most tipsiest cake ever

You and your knobs:rotfl::rotfl:

Anyway tell me the freebies I've missed over the last 12 days - from CO, Q, shopimum, TCB or wherever.

I've charged the iphone and ipad, taken them off airplane mode and updated all of the apps but not had a look at the lists yet to see what's new.

Mostly because of a guilt complex - not had a look yet to see if all of the start of the month bills and savings have been paid but I cant face that until tomorrow.

But I am going to start reading back ...

I hope you had a nice time, but you didnt bring any good weather back with you

It wasn't that brilliant in Spain either - about 5 degrees at best

OH had a facebook update to say this time 2 years ago we were in the Canaries with 25 degrees :T - I think that was the time we rounded the coast of northern France on day 2 and then everyone was in summer clothes after that ...

I've got to the bottom of the Chomp bar saga......I went to Asda this morning....There were three boxes on the shelf....Two with the bottom picture and one with the top picture...Test purchase has been made using the top pic...Barcode 622210 723512...Result...This is the one that you will need to find for the glitch to work...The other, well...probably use that and it will fail...But, there is a chance then of a nice GC....


Above Barcode 7 622210 723512 Succesful


Above Barcode 7 622210 783929 Failure

Each of these fails to appear on the APG so, in the sense that the glitch is a comparison from full price, both of them are successful. The "Successful" one gets the full prices on other items that appear because it does not appear, while the "Failure" one gets the full prices due to only four items in the offer being bought so you miss the mbuy instore and get the full price comparison that way. I'm assuming people buy four other units that do appear, such as all Curly Wurly:rotfl:. However, as the SELs are likely all marked with 5 for £1 and the product descriptions are the same, the "Failure" one gives a claim for a refund to 5 for £1 at CS and a £2 GC. The "Failure" one was therefore more successful for me. I was using the "Successful" one before and I felt I'd failed:rotfl:. I felt that it didn't work out as well anyway.

I was left very happy yesterday. I went back for my £2 GC, I was even allowed to change two of my Cup Soups, that I bought on the same shop - the store didn't have the flavour I really wanted overnight but was back in stock when I returned - and I managed to get a Muller shop done.:) The only thing that didn't work on my shop was the mix and match of the sweets I tried didn't pick up M mbuy:(. If I had just stuck to four packs of Black Jack sweets it would have worked. However, my sweets, due to being bought with another very successful chocolate item that would be called a "failure", worked out better than free with the £2 GC so they worked well too.
