    Oh dear - if this was me I would have to take the hit, begrudgingly though ....

    Before xmas a nice sa warned dh+me we were using too many apgs and they had had a meeting about us and we would be spoken to about apgs and that you can only use 10 in 1 month...we refrained from using any in my local store for a while although we still shopped for the odd item in there.
    all had been fine til last week, we had a moc which was accepted with no problem but then we had a small wombled apg which wouldn't go thru..then the shop floor supervisor came over to the supervisor and said it couldn't be accepted..ok we said ..that's strange it wouldn't go thru....but the annoying thing is the supervisor would have accepted the apg, its when the one above him put her oar in that it was rejected..and she wasn't even on duty she was doing her shopping in civies !!!!!
    Yesterday we went in 3 bottles of wine, 8 fillers apg fine...except I felt we were being watched.
    Today we went in 3 bottles of wine+fillers larger apg fine but then dh put in a wombled apg 'that supervisor' who walked over to the till when we were about to pay questioned the wombled apg....she said.. I know what you are doing! we have cctv ...is this your receipt ? because it has been flagged up that you are using different credit cards...oh!! I say ..that is my daughters receipt, supervisor- well I will let it go thru this time but the person who bought and paid for the shopping is the one who has to redeem the apg...
    so we will keep a low profile again:(

    Sorry to hear this hillbilly.......a low profile for a while sounds like a good idea:o

    I’ve just found a code for £5 off a £5 spend at mamas and papas. It’s a gift for mothers day:smileyhea:smileyhea

    Theres loads of stuff you can get and free click and collect. I’ve just ordered 2 cup cake sets for the total price of £1

    I’m going to go and stick the code on the code thread.

    So get looking on the website NOW:)

    I did bring this over:p just not the code, no mama's and pappa's here though:(

    I've caught up now but came to thank you, Bubbs. I saw your post (and thank you too, TM) and have had a happy time buying stuff for a little hamper for a colleague's daughter who will give birth in a few months' time. I could use the code several times and no shop was more than £1, so I am very pleased. Thank you.

    No laughing. But just reading my contract for work, I was so excited and goes to oh omg I am going to be paid for holidays. :o then it dawned on me, but I don't want to go on holiday. :p was so pleased when Ds3 told me, that I can have holiday pay and stay at home. :rotfl:

    I have never had holiday pay and oh is self employed so neither has he.

    I am not usually that daft but just cooked dinner for 16 people and spent half the day at community kitchen where I made over 200 Welsh cakes :cool:

    There's nothing better than being at home and being paid for it.:D

    But Rhos, you should have had holiday pay for that job in the Country Park, assuming you were an employee of the business and did not go in on a self-employed basis.

    Good evening. This may have been mentioned. I see JF has gone into 342 in A and 3 for £12 in T.

    Sheer Blond Brilliantly Brighter and Radiant Red are £6.99 each in A

    A buy 3, pay £13.98, apg should see £20.97 v £12, £10.17 return on £13.98 spend, so £3.81 for 3 plus fillers?

    Untested.

    HTH
