Praise for Elma Jewelery (ebay shop)
Just wanted to praise this ebay shop. After being a bit dubious about buying a wedding ring online but stuggling to find the type I wanted (wishbone/shaped) anywhere on the high street we decided to take a chance on Elma - what a great decision - the ring arrived a day and a half after it was ordered and it is perfect -…

Amazon Sent DVD Player In Manufacturer's Box Spoiled Mum's Suprise
Just venting :mad: I recently ordered a top quality DVD player for mum for Christmas as she'd mentioned a few months back that she wanted to get one "eventually" for her bedroom. I got home today and was puzzled when she was fully aware of the so-called "surprise", telling me "you didn't have to do that!". It turns out…

Asda overprice.
I am really annoyed with myself. Saw a wii remote control with motion plus at a brilliant price in Asda for £37 and bought it with other things. I am usually fanactical about checking receipts before i leave store but got home and they have charged me £39. Now the fact that i live 12 miles away doesnt help but i will ring…

Lakeland praise
I know it's been said on here before, but they really are the best. Their customer service is second to none and the staff actually treat you like a grown up that they want to keep as a customer, rather than an irritation they want to get rid off. They're replacing some kitchen scales that are 9 months old because they've…

The Hut
It's 1:00am on Monday morning and I've just received an email from TheHut to say my order which I placed earlier has been despatched! Thank you to whoever is working these unsocial hours but, really, it could have waited until normal office hours.

Caffe Nero toilet- foul
Hi all, I went into Caffe Nero in Hammersmith yesterday as I was waiting for a friend. I got a cup of tea and sat down at a table covered in dirty cups and crockery which was still there when I left. On my way out I went to the toilet. There was one toilet for the ladies and one for the chaps with a single, lockable door…

May I combust here please ......
....... if not excuse me and I will go to the vent board. I wish to buy a charm. £19.00, not a fortune, little stocking filler. All was well, security code entered, then comes the dreaded extra Barclays security. I don't remember, and why should I? Every damm site I wish to buy from want's me to register! Why? I always…

Arriva bus failed to stop for kids
My two boys were going to their Gran's after a club yesterday (Friday 11 December) because I was going out for the evening. They waited on the bus but it failed to stop and they had to wait another 15 minutes for the next one. There is only one service that takes them to their Gran's house but they were at the bus stop…

Natwest - Helpful Banking?
Has anyone else had the same problem with Natwest Bank...? Our family (3 of us) all have cash ISAs from Natwest, following a good recommendation from MSE last year, but have found it very difficult to get the money OUT of Natwest.

What right does my postman have to say this :(
My postman just effectively had a go at me for having too many parcels... He said 'You like your parcels don't you' and I said 'well, it's easier to do my christmas shopping this way as I don't have a car' and he said 'yeah I've heard it all before'!!!! WHAT?! He has before tried to shirk his work saying he's going to…

Free xmas cards from Vistaprint
Hi, did anyone else take advantage of the free cards from Vistaprint? Mine arrived today and I must admit i'm rather disappointed. I know I probably deserve to be as they were free but I wish they would make things clearer. The cards are literally a piece of card with print on each side rather than a folded card. So…

I have finally managed to cancel my AOL Broadband. At least I think I have!

Unreadable T&Cs
I have signed up for a contract phone for DS and on the reverse of the form there are copious T&Cs BUT they're in a tiny font, printed in pale grey and even with my reading glasses on (only need them for reading) I am unable to read them. Not a word. So I am less than pleased.... How can it be LEGAL to make small print so…
