    Rog - pleased you've got today off, trundling really can't be much fun in this weather and people have no patience if you're late, I would guess. Enjoy your day off.

    Going to watch Doctor Who later (and probably cry at the end like everyone else seems to have done!!!)

    Bit of a Busman's Holiday, to be honest, as my wife and I have spent most of the afternoon shopping in the dammed place. :rolleyes: :rotfl:

    And, for a treat, I was also allowed to push a small trolley around Mr T's, as we needed Cat Litter - ASDA 'smart price' cat litter is not as good as the Tesco 'value' lightweight cat litter - or so I'm told. :huh: :huh:

    Still - lots of 'reductions' in both stores - will be enjoying a nice steak later on. ;)

    Mrs Rog must be very trusting, Rog. Wouldn't trust my OH with a trolley, he's either 5 aisles ahead of me or finding lots of "extras" to put in the trolley while my back's turned :rotfl::rotfl:. Enjoy your steak!

    Nargle - yay to a week's holiday, sounds good to me.

    Quick bump for this little thread that clearly has wanderlust today, just found it languishing at the bottom of page 2!!

    Way down in 2 again! Busy busy.

    I missed the Leeds game (as I was shopping) - and I'm a Leeds fan (though obviously not sure a big fan of leeds as I am a fan of shopping :rolleyes:).

    Still 2 new work suits bought for a total of £69 so I actually have some that fit and look smart (most of mine are too big :j)

    Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

    What is a Troll? A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made.

    If you should get a comment made on any thread you post asking for help and advice please realise this comment is not directed at you personally.
    We really are all a lovely bunch here (oops, modest, sorry) so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal.

    what should i do if i get a comment made on my thread?

    firstly do not respond to the comment as this invariably is what the person wants. At the bottom of the post, on the left hand side is a red "warning" triangle. Click this and then "send" the message that comes up. This will report the message to abuse who will review it's content and delete it.

    The person we had this morning was particularly vile and nasty and please believe me is an extreme rarity here.
    Above all PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE BOARDS. THIS SITE IS AN ASSET TO SO MANY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FEELS THE WORLD IS FALLING IN ON YOU. THERE IS SUCH A WEALTH OF ADVICE HERE TO BE HAD THAT THE COMMENTS OF ONE MUST NOT DETER YOU FROM AVAILING YOURSELF OF THE KNOWLEDGE HERE!!!!

    It is testament to the work that martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time knowledge and experience freely to others, without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of debt crisis

    PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT.


    Kind wishes

    Hope you enjoy Doctor Who, solventsoon, I thought it was done very well. I think the new chap might be ok even though David T is a tough act to follow.

    Thanks Nargle, I did, though I had more than one tear in my eyes at the end..... David T will be a very tough act to follow indeed, hope the new chap can live up to our expectations....

    Well done on the bargainous (pinching Lula's word again!) shopping, Tixy. Guess you're not joining the £100 a year clothes challenge then??

    Hi to everyone else, happy Monday to you all.

    Only 3 hours till home time.....am annoyed because when I phoned work yesterday to say I would have a problem getting in because of bad road and weather conditions I was made to feel guilty and subjected to the usual emotional blackmail ("leaving us short staffed" "others people have to travel in as well" "we have to provide a service" etc etc) - I have worked several very busy shifts during the bad weather, travelling in some distance on icy roads, and the one time I express concern about being unable to get in I am subjected to pressure which I can do without. i managed to get into work in the end, but am dreading what the roads will be like when I leave off. No wonder people in my job feel unappreciated at times. Anyway, whinge over - have a good day everyone.
