We have self check out places at many of our stores ........... but I haven't seen that kind of scan yourself

It sounds very confusing to me :-S



I'm also dismayed at the lack of requests being posted from WDYTYA .................. and the very poor information that is being collected by the GR staff.



I guess not many of us will be getting that free month!

Hi all

another sunny day here :-)


It was only 3C this morning though :-(

There is not much going on on the WDYTYA board - I just hope that 'our lot' are having a good time there !!!

I have been trying desperately to find something to help on in order to get my 60p's worth of extra subs on here but I haven't found anything yet :-( :-( :-(

I just knew that you would be the first one to comment on that Jonesey !! ;-) :-D :-D

Great minds think alike (as they say) !!

Dea,

You do make me smile at certain times. Your comment about not using your car's 5th gear because the car you learnt to drive in only had 4 gears is just such one of those times.

I tried a new shopping experience this morning, grocery shopping online at Asda. It is easy to see how people get confused with the "Special" offers some of which are not that special such as 6 for £4 or buy 12 for £11.39. Mind you once you have finalised your order an paid it is just a matter of waiting for delivery tomorrow which because I chose the 8 hour delivery slot only cost me £2.50.

OOOerrr !!! - I have just returned from a trip to Tesco and I am all hot and bothered !!! :-0 :-S :-(

In our main store they have a system where, when you go in you can pick up a little scanner which lodges in a holder in your trolley and when you put something in your basket you can scan it first and then pack it into your shopping bag and then when you have finished you just have to go to a special bay area where there are screens and you download the info from the scanner into the 'thingy' and you can pay for your shopping and leave, without having to go to a till :-D

Well, for probably 18 months now, I have been watching people do this and thinking what a good idea it would be so today I thought I would give it a try :-0 ;-) :-S :-S :-S

It was quite simple really - I thought you had to register and give your name and address etc but all you had to do was to wave your clubcard at the thing on the wall and there were rows and rows of thezse little scanners in holders hanging up.

One of them flashed and that was the one I had to use so, off I set 'On my mission' ! :-D

It took me twice as long to do my shopping because at first I kept forgetting to scan the item and then when I got the hang of that I was worried that I would scan things twice but I found the cancel button in case this happened.

I was concentrating SO hard that I kept missing things that I wanted and having to go back to find them.

Anyway, I managed to finish my shopping and get to the pay area but was then baffled as to how I could get all my money off coupons to deduct but I saw the nice lady who had told me how to get the scanner when I arrived and grabbed her to help me with the final steps :-D

I was SO glad to get out of there but. all in all, it was quite a simple process and I am sure that it will go much smoother the next time I try it. :-D

My only thought though is that if everyone decided to adopt this way of shopping there would probably be many people who would lose their jobs on the check-outs! I will have to give this some serious thought ! :-S

I suppose you lot have already mastered this but there are people on here who can vouch for my inability to master various types of technologies.

I suppose my most famous display of this is that my car, even though about 26 years old, has 5 gears but when I learned to drive I had only 4 to contend with. I think I have only used 5th gear once in the 23 years I have had it ;-) :-D :-D :-D I reckon 4 is more than enough !

You really shouldn't go off like that and leave everything cooking Cynthia - I have only just managed to salvage that breakfast !! :-( :-0 ;-)

VERY crispy bacon (just as I like it !)..... black sausages, tomatoes, cristy mushrooms :-0 I have cooked some fresh eggs as the others were way past their best....... Crispy fried bread......

It looks a little charred but it actually tastes very nice! :-D

Thank you Cynthia <3

Good morning..... :-D



Interesting that someone wants to buy your cabin 'sight unseen' Sylvs.... :-S


Hope they don't want it for 'nefarious' purposes..... :-D


Spose I had better put the kettle on...


It's on.





Now I spose I had better get some breakfast going.....


It's going.



So am I ...... :-D

We've just had an offer on the cabin and land ......................... it is at the asking price, so we have to accept it.

However, we've had to ask them to delay our acceptance of this initial offer ................. they wanted it by 5 pm today (or about 3 hours from now), but OH is away overnight, then has appointments tomorrow.

So our realtor is telling them we won't be able to respond until 5 pm on Saturday.

They want closure by March 26 .......... subject to them getting a mortgage.


They haven't even seen the darn place other than in photos ........... it's covered by 3+ feet of snow, and no-one will be able to get in easily until early April :-)


Apparently some other guy is going in either tomorrow or Saturday to "walk" the property on snowshoes ...... don't know whether he will get over all the 20 acres :-)

Hi all

I've been a very good girl.......

Just rang Experian to cancel my 30 day free trial, that was a nightmare trying find out how to do it!

He told me I have the best credit score possible and only 4% of people in the country have that kind of score

OMG............just heard a call from outside 'Any old iron'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I see now..........Im gonna blame Renes for nudging it up ;-)

Good morning all. :-D

Thank you Dea.....fancy our Sylvs 'losing her way'. Dear oh dear, what is the world coming too?


OH said his back was 'twinging' a bit this morning but it is so much improved.


Jonesey? You know what our Gins is like at the best of times, never mind in the mornings............sigh.


Must go and get some dusting done - it's 'take my friend out' day today and have daughter for company as well!

Gin,

Do you realise that the WDYTYA post that you have responded to was one of last years questions.

Mornin~~~~~~~

Cheese toastie for me please, thank you Dea

I see the WDYTYA board is up and running

Maybe Linds will ask for some help while she is down there!

Not to worry Sylvia - It's just nice to see you popping in <3 <3

Good morning all, :-)

Cheese toasties today - some plain and some with my lovely home baked ham in them.

There is bacon, eggs, sausages, grilled tomatoes and mushrooms as well just to give you a choice.

Enjoy...................
