    Perhaps you need to tell the (lets keep it polite) OH that it is the massaging that is doing the good - and not the absolute fortune he may as well have p***** up the wall. You get the same with these face creams. The thing is when people pay lots of money for these things they read the instructions & like with face creams it says massage in for 10 mins per day. Because it is so expensive they obey the instructions. Massage in a cheapo for 10 minuites a day, but no-one does because after all it is only a cheapo.

    What you are using is not an apostrophe, it is a right single quotation mark.

    The right single quotation mark is probably not supported by the forum's font and as such is showing the ASCII code behind it (8217) as it's not able to find the relevant character, whereas I believe the apostrophe is actually defined as single quote and has a 39 code.

    Solution
    You're using the wrong character, check on your keyboard where you have an actual apostrophe and use that one.

    I agree with Beanie and Redo - I would have kicked him out by now, closely followed by his hair stuff!

    Thanks I’m using an iPad so it’s automatically putting the apostrophe in.

    You made me laugh Capricornlass, thank you. I think id prefer to return the hair stuff and get the money back.
    Im looking forward to getting paid so I can make payments towards my cc. I have everything for LO birthday, so nothing on cc thankfully. Got an email from my energy supplier and my payments are going down so the extra £40 will be going towards my debt. I got £6 from surveys so once that!!!8217;s through I!!!8217;ll add it to my total.
