    Howling!!!:rotfl:

    It's really quiet in there, usually about 10 people tops, mostly pensioners in ours... If you're only getting Wackos, you won't need a :eek:trolley so it should be easy peasy...honest!

    Well Wackos and chorizo meatballs lol!!

    Stupid question, but is it laid out so you can find stuff or do you have to hunt the shelves?

    Sorry, I'm such a wimp!!!

    Hi True,

    not sure if they're all the same but the two near us tend to have the checkouts as you walk in, then about 4 rows of shelves...biscuits and bread first...! in both ours, the veg, chilled and frozen food is at the back, with the odd tv and car mat along the way!!! You can see it all easily..

    Thanks Teddy, sorry for the neurotic questions, just like to know what to expect!! Will pop in after work, wish me luck :D

    ps take a carrier bag with you...the checkout girls put stuff thru really quickly so if you've no trolley you need to almost catch your food and put it in your bag! They don't take credit cards, its a DFW shop!, but they take debit cards and cash!!:)

    Dammit, I was thinking about cellotaping my CrapOne back together :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi everyone, I have still not dialled 1471 and I was out this morning, I was inspired to pick up a pile of recorded delivery stickers while posting a book I sold on greenmetropolis.com. I MAY check to see if I have any 1571 messages, as only starred callers can leave them but no 1471......

    LOL!! just went to check messages and the handset was missing, lying on the floor!! One of the kids must have knocked it off hanging up their coat. I did NOT dial 1471, how good am I?

    No post either....

    Well, here's a little update for you!...

    After HSBC have been stalking for weeks and yesterday sent me a message via my internet banking to call them. So I thought I'd suck it up and do it (god, how brave!).

    So, to cut a long story short (most of which I could barely hear, as the connection was awful!)...

    They hadn't received anything for CCCS (this is the second creditor that's told me this!?) but explained I was on DMP, so they've cancelled the standing order (which internet banking wouldn't let me do), cancelled all charges & interest (!!) AND....wait for it....said they'd accept the DMP 'because they have no choice' :eek::eek: And this bearing in mind they didn't know final DMP amount as I didn't have paperwork with me (at work) and they hadn't received anything from CCCS.

    ...so that's 3 down 4 to go!! :j
