    DS2 and GF arrives...with their Xmas tree.

    Its shedding too much so they've taken it down. They live in a flat so have no garden and no way of disposing.

    It has roots, but is it possible to save it? If not it will fit in the recycling bin.

    If it has roots it should be ok to pot (or stick in the ground if too big for a pot) it may take a while to recover though

    Just to say todays Heinz shop worked, didn't get any beans, as don't like them, with or without sausages. so just be careful now Asda House has seen my receipt from yesterdays shop and know what the apg was, in-case the glitch stops.

    Think I need to hand in my Elite Badge    .
    Or join the list of people avoiding A because of their accusing attitude.
    I would have liked to have got a few tins of cheap beanz or gift sets, but have none because of the jobsworths.

    I think bikertov may use the same store as me. They’ve recently installed little video screens above the ss tills :eek:

    Yes, and no ....

    It was at a different store HG, near to my work, that I go to. Was using a few wombled ones at the manned tills, the supervisor got called over for some reason, then the duty manager. They wanted to take copies of the receipts etc but I refused. They then accused me of fraud for wombling, saying they had me on CCTV picking up receipts (only ever pickup outside, never in-store). Threatened to call the police etc.

    So I have kept it low profile there for a few months now, and try not to use big APGs there but go further afield to different stores. Mainly just buy stuff there without using a lot of APGs.

    Always feel self conscious at SS tills with cameras, but more and more stores have them now. But it is easier to use big APGs without drawing attention at the time.

    I've never bought sweets for fillers. Always fruit and veg as suggested, then other things we use like cleaning products (thin bleach is good at 25p), drinks etc etc I just check on MSM to see the comparison and rarely lose out.


    Same as that, never bought a filler and wouldn't know what a "flump" is...always buy things I will use, milk, SP rice , paracetemol, fruit etc

    My Christmas tree came down on Thursday. I got sick of hoovering the needles up twice a day :mad:

    It took me an hour to hoover up all the remaining needles and I still haven't finished :mad:

    The rest of the decorations will be down later today or tomorrow


    Bah humbug
