Talking of libraries, my nearest one is shutting one weekday + 2 week day mornings!

Though idly wondering if you can incur charges for not returning a book on a day when the library is shut, it is annoying to have to think before visiting if its going to be open.

The guy who had the loft full of stuff who then was wrestled to the ground by Tesco security has allegedly admitted that he is reprinting voucher after voucher and has been doing £400 per Tesco store per day in his area!

Unfortunately its the only way of keeping them all open. It's sad but better than losing them.

AFAIU you cannot incur charges on closed days, though beware, you probably will if the library is open part of the day. I'm not sure how that will work yet as I'm not important enough to know!

Oooh, they aren't happy are they? I don't think I've ever seen so many emoticons gathered in one place. I wonder what the collective noun is. For that matter, to get round the swear filters I don't think I've seen so many symbols either!

:eek: Love a bit of gossip! Especially as I feel so rubbish.

His own statements are a bit damning. There's a convo going about refunds and buying other shop's gift vouchers with the proceeds too, mentions 'a couple of' his Next vouchers being cancelled and not able to use them and then on another thread mentions that they've spent £5000 in Next this year! Co-incidence? There's someone somewhere using gift card after gift card to clear their directory account, methinks.

Some people have a totally messed up idea of what constitutes taking advantage of an offer to it's full potential and starting a new career in deception. Surely it's fraud if you are constantly re-using something which has been given to you to use once?

I think weeks is definitely /52 for most of medicine. You'd only write 6 weeks as 6/40 if it was pregnancy. I've certainly seen doctors write 3/7 to mean 3 days. I think /7 means days, /52 means weeks and /12 means months.

Congratulations to Sue. What are you going to do next, and when does it start?

Erm, no idea at the moment, in a bit of a quandry as to which course to do to be honest....one means a few extra months of no study but is a larger and longer course once started, the other means I start it earlier but it is less points and shorter.

But I am impatient.......but also I tend to overthink things.

I agree. To say that reprinting the same voucher with the same receipt code is OK as each piece of paper is unique is laughable.
