    Something to do with head office put a block on them and they can't be sold.

    Which is a load of old bo***ks as I've bought the very same things from another Tesco's for the same price and everything.

    I love 'Love Hearts' and it was a pack with mini tubes in. Great for a quick sugar hit!!!

    The tesco's near me is so rubbish, the staff are rude, I hardly ever get my green tesco points, the store is always a mess and there are never trolleys available!!! There is a massive tescos near work and it is ten times better.

    Why were they on the shelves if you can't buy them?
    Though no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending

    that is weird, why not take them off the shelf? obviously he has a secret fetish and was buying all of them once he got his wages in...

    agreed! I usually take too many pairs too but have a flat bronzey pair that do go with everything (obviously I have to take some more to keep them company).

    He, he! I took about 5 pairs with me when I went away for nearly three weeks last year and only ended up wearing about 2. Take black! Black goes with everything.


    That is so what I do, the problem is though, you need to have some heels in case of a fancy night out.

    I took some gold sandals away with me this year and just never wore them cos we didn't go out on that kind of night but I didn't care as I would've needed them if we did.

    I think it is worth working out what you are going to do while on hols.

    I went to Miami last year and I needed plenty of party clothes for all the nightclubs and bars that we hit. We also went to the Everglades and Florida keys so I needed walking stuff and more low key shoes for there.

    And we needed space for our shopping (dollar was great then!) Luckily we had decent luggage allowance

    Some nonsense about how head office just block them at the till but don't email them to tell them to take them off the shelves.

    Apparently then every Monday they get an email which resolves it all????

    Sounded like a completely bizarre way of dealing with things if you ask me.

    (Personally I believe skint's theory!)

    I think I would have been good at it too, I've def got a detecting kind of brain. They used to call me Miss Marple at my old job

    There were regular murders in your old job?! No wonder you left.

    Yeah, it was crazy. People were dropping like flies of things like strycchnine poisoning, cyanide that of thing. I had to lock my teabags and sugar in my drawer....

    Once this guy turned up dead and he was stabbed like a million times but by 12 different people.....guess he didn't bring in the birthday cakes, they were pretty strict on that.

    I had to stop working there when I witnessed a murder on the train going in the same direction as my train to work...


    Some of the new love hearts say things like 'text me' & 'email me'

    I'm waiting for 'tag me in a photo on facebook' and 'tweet about me'

    But these ones I had didn't even say "Hug me" or "I love you" like they used to, it was all !!!! like the ones in that picture. I mean:

    "Kiss" - that's just a word, not a statement.
    "Hot lips" - bit camp if you're a bloke.
    "My hero" - sexist.
    "First love" - well no, as we both know, that was your sister, and I thought we'd agreed not to raise the subject again.
    "Dear one" - !!!!!!?!

    I'm sorry, the whole thing has made me quite furious and in future I shall be purchasing Parma Violets instead.

    How big would Love Hearts have to be if you were writing the messages?!
