    hate Quidco stopped using them ages ago as used to end up with loads of the stuff not getting paid out and it's amazing that disputes can take ages if ever to get resolved and usually ironically as their yearly payment is due

    thanks for thinking of me but I'm not worth it x

    You so bloody are mrs ... You are human and quite frankly what you are going through has got to be the hardest thing there is .... So I'm allowed to think of ya ... Right ... Don't make me come down there and feed you Jaffa cakes :)


    I stopped using quidco as well tbh and I do have a few disputes outstanding so thought this was just some of them settling ... Havn't really got a clue what quidco are up to but the money is not in my account that much I know

    Hiya El, I hope we don't have to pay more now to have the LPG installed, I'll just be glad to be able to get it installed though! Apparently they are now coming Monday morning (but I guess let's see, it's been a farce so far)

    And FIL - Mr Shortie spoke to him about it today. Apparently he appologised (or Mr Shortie made that bit up? FIL never apologises for himself) but as I said to Mr Shortie, I'm not after an apology, what's been said in the past has been said - I just want it to stop. so fingers crossed eh?

    Have a lovely couple of days off :)

    shouldn't fil be apologising to you? is he not man enough to apologise ?

    if he starts when they come over have you thought of ways that you want to handle it?

    can you tell i am not very much into people being abused in any form lol

    i think it was a year ago last April ( not exactly sure of the date tbh) that i told my mother i never wanted to hear from her or speak to her ever again, i havnt changed my mind, i wont change my mind, she doesnt seem to understand this, i spose that is more evidence that she just doesnt know me at all

    So true, I did this with my sister last year and I think my parents think I'll just give in and accept her nonsense but too much over the years has just killed any chance of a relationship.
