    I nearly forgot to go to the dentist :eek:

    Walked to the school... sat through the service which took over and hour (including an interminable rendition of 'one more step along the world we go' :rolleyes:) ... wandered home, picked up my blackberry (I'd left it at home... see how committed to work I am at the moment!) and say that I was due at the dentist in 8 minutes. It's 15 minutes away...

    Anyway, got there, had my teeth checked, made an appointment to see the hygenist next week, came home and had lunch.

    I've taken a couple of work calls, and am now logging on... I know I have two emails I need to look at properly, so I suppose I should!

    I still feel headachy and horrible (I'm sure the singing didn't help!), so am trying to decide whether to walk to the shop for some bits and pieces or to go to bed and see whether I can sleep for a couple of hours...

    Erm... flying... well I'm about to put all the stuff from breakfast and lunch into the DW :D

    Was this the DeCuisine post? I stupidly thanked it too then realised that I have actually used them recently and they were brilliant - no problems at all!QUOTE]

    Thanks for that. Shows different customers have different experiences with this company. I did search decuisine on MSE but couldn't find any posts either way about this firm. The more info about whether a company is good or bad, the better.

    I do not understand why you consider your thanks to be stupid (I am sure you are not) or why anyone would consider my original post to be SPAM. My post was meant to be informative and helpful and not for my own or anyone elses benefit.

    I think it was because it was an out of context post in the middle of a thread about housework, where people are posting details of the progress they have made against various challenges set in the first post.

    The old-style board probably isn't the place to post this - I suggest that you try one of the shopping-related boards, and if there isn't already a relevant thread, start your own so that the discussion is specific.

    ETA - a quick search shows that there are a number of threads that mention this company. Try here & here for starters
