    You have to be careful with wombled receipts, I think Ts will only take 2 in one week? Can't remember, but just be careful.

    I wombled mr S receipts as DS loves picking up his "tickets" - don't ask! it has nothing to do with wombling, he started it, but I now use to my advantage.

    Anyway, I walked in with 2 receipts the other day, one for 8 points and the other for 30. I didn't read the second one properly and they had already been credited! :rotfl: I think the SA knew I had wombled there, but I just shrugged my shoulders.

    I haven't had any probs so far but I don't want to push it. I wonder why people don'tpay attention to what they drop, though? I've had a couple for around 20 points each.

    Intrigued now! At first I thought he had one of those 'scanners racers' toys but they work on individual barcodes for goods, don't they? Anyway, glad it's workingto your advantage. :)

    Hey Miggy, I have been reading about wombling receipts this week and it had never occured to me before - I might start though. I did nearly pick one up in Mr T today but had a slight 'episode' in there during the week with a friend (I wanted her cc points and she wouldn't let me have them even though she didn't use her cc herself, calling me a !!!!! :() so I figured that I didn't really want another scene. Some people just don't 'get it' at times.

    I'd have felt the same. I hate scenes. I wonder if she went home, dug out her shiney unused card and sat staring at it, wondering what she was missing? Shame you got the brunt of her attitude, though.

    Ani - glad the cheque arrived. Sorry to hear the injection (whatever it was for) hasn't really worked. Are there any other alternatives?


    Hi kerri x


    It was suggested to pay for physio, but then again, some people just don't live in the real world, tut

    I'm generally pe*d off with everything, this week. The lack of work, people's moronic attitudes, some people have their head so far up their own *' s, they'll never get it out again, and everywhere i turn, i seem to hit a brick wall.

    So i've had the injection and rested - no result. So i have to ' put up ' with being in pain for the rest of my life. I'm finding out all i need to know re pensions. Could'nt be any more depressing, of course, except for a small light at the end of the tunnel. I wish i knew what to do for the best. Got all the relevant forms i need to apply for various things. Theres no wonder people don't claim for things. You have to send payslips and provide your landlord's details for everything. Of course, i don't officially have a landlord, as i found, after two years of trying, no private landlord wants a self employed bankrupt. And who can blame them, huh? The obvious solution is the ha. Yep, well i'm on the lists of just about every ha under the sun, now. I won't wait with bated breath. Its still up to muggins to make ones way in life. Maybe its a myth, that people get this that and the other, off the state? Or is it all propaganda by the media? The amount of information you have to give, just to get help with a prescription. Information i can't give, unless i want to end up without a home. Well, i'll miss sections off, and pretend i'm thick. Mind you, maybe people already think i am, thick.

    you are allowed to be peeved off with people and life you know. Life is not perfect and some of us more than others have more to bear and live with.

    I'm going to do something really constructive today, like boring blooming cleaning. I can't think of anything less mentally stimulating

    Having laptop problems, cannot afford to get it fixed. So will just have to grin and bear it, but need it for MS jobs, especially right now, need all the extra money I can make.

    We went to a farm with nursery yesterday. It was ok, wouldn't go out of my way to go there again, but it was a good day out. DS enjoyed the playgrounds, and the climbing stuff, and the cars, and the sandpit, and the playbarn...... oh and yes did like feeding some of the animals.! I said to him I don't why I take you anywhere except playgrounds, all you ever want to do is play on the slide, swing, etc,

    Off to dermatologist for him today, need more potions.

    You are very welcome to the hugs, anytime. x

    ps talking about cleaning.... inlaws coming in 2 weeks time, so major clean needed! they have very high standards as daughter with OCD! has spotless house and everything in it's place, no cobwebs, etc, etc. if you get bored ani, I need a major hand!

    All the best things in life are free, Aesop, ( or so they say ). At least its better than sitting him in front of the box.


    Urgh cleaning. Can you pay me? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:




    ps - i already know the answer to that one :p
