Ok, so I nipped out to Waitrose just to stretch my legs and take my mind off it all.

No groceries, just a leg stretch, have they introduced massage counters?

Just took my Andrews, 24 senna tablets and a bowl of prunes all washed down with a bottle of lactulose

Surely No.2 MUST come tomorrow:D

Just home from work and I have to report my cocktail DID NOT have the desired effect on producing No.2 :mad:. I have however been griping badly all day long

maybe time for some suppositories?

I'm glad you're all in the party mood! Regarding the FSCS I'm sure someone's having a laugh. Nothing for me today.

I think it's more a case of drowning our sorrows than having a party I know I'm certainly not in the party mood tonight

That's what I like, a pet owner with a no-nonsense, not soppy-eyed attitude to their animal !

Yep you me and a reported 100,000 others:mad:

If I am honest I never though I would be waiting this long but as each day passes with no success I feel less and less positive about ever getting that damn 2nd email!:mad:

While we are still compos mentis, perhaps we should reflect on what the latest FSCS figures really mean :

- by end of play today roughly 100,000 people will have received 2nd emails,i.e. less than half estimated number of savers
-onWednesday 75,000 people had received them, so 25,000 have gone out in the last 2 days (? 3)
- the total paid out has increased from 0.5 to 1 billion since Friday (although we didn't hear about it until Monday) plus an odd 133 million for fixed terms.
My take on this is that it will be another 2 weeks before everyone has 2nd email as 150,000 or so emails are pending as of now.
They are paying out about 0.5 billion/week but the number of recipients has shot up this week.

That is assuming the FSCS are telling it as it is, to date they have not been 100% accurate and often change the wording after posting the update, what people would really like to know is how many they are sending per day and how they decide when to send them, we are adults and are not afraid of the full facts, if we really knew what was happening we would not be quite so frustrated.

Finally I noticed a sign in the local building society (principality) today saying 'Icesavers bring your money home'.

It's nice to find people who actually welcome our cash!:beer:
