That's dreadful! I always get my cats from rescue centres, in fact out of the 6 sadly departed and 2 present cats I have, only the first one wasn't a rescue as she was a farm cat. Too many people only want kittens so the older cats get left behind, I will actively seek out the ones that no-one else wants, my mum was the same. Thanks to her we spent some lovely time with a 15-year-old ginger tabby with no teeth called Harvey (he was gooorrrrrrrrrrrrrgeous and named after the Jimmy Stewart film) and a pair called Lady (who I'm still grieving for) and Mushroom. No-one wanted them, they were in the rescue centre for 3 years because they were a pair and Mushroom only had three legs, there was NOTHING wrong with him, he had no health problems, he just simply had only 3 legs and people were so superficial over it. He was the fastest cat in the world (nicknames included Hop-along Cassidy and Speedy Gonzales), had no trouble with cat flaps or anything, it beggars belief!

Nothing wrong with Harvey either except his age and the fact he could only have soft food. I actually can't think about him without welling up, he only lasted a year but he was so lovely *sniff*

Hi Kadison I know exactly how you feel (()) I had a fantastic 3 legged cat called Whizz( she was called this already ironically and I kept the name!) She had been caught in a trap:( before I had her and lost a back leg:( but was the most friendly,spirited cat you could ever meet. She was 2 when I had her and I lost her last year at 17, still struggle without her ,she was an amazing example of complete trust even with what she had been through and she could teach us all a thing or two!:o

I bought 6 tubs of double cream last night down from £1.90 to 19p, this is what 2 of the tubs have yeilded, so ½ lb butter for around 19p I salted the one I will use for now the others that are being frozen will be unsalted (Will use them in the cake mixes)

Great idea!
I used to do it in a litre jar - and shake it until you get butter (watching a film). And I completely forgot about it... will do it now. Thanks for reminding!

So you just keep whisking double cream until it has the consistency of butter?

Yeah just keep whisking and it will turn yellowy then wash it well and add salt.:T

Brilliant - thank you.

Following on from my successful venture into pie-making territory this week, I shall now try my hand at this.

morning all!

now all the talk about whoopsies makes me want to go for it too... right when I was intending to use up everything in the freezer and defrost it... :eek:
must resist! must resist!

going to Ts anyway in a bit... Don't really need anything but in the last couple of days I was doing everything I didn't need to do just to avoid writing the stupid Uni esseys... got to write 4 of them and have about a week time and I HATE writing anything that's longer then 1 page :mad: That serves me right for not doing ANYTHING since October when the semester started... It will be a miracle if I will get my master diploma in the summer!
Oh well, being a nanny I don't really need a Business degree do I? :cool: :rotfl:

Like Nikki it's one of the rare occasions this year that I/we spend NYE at home and not throwing/attending a wild party... Tonight we'll have roast duck in honey and oranges and posh bubbly... :eek:

Hope you all have a nice evening and a lovely New Year full of glitches and bargains! :T:T:T
Oh and that reminds me: I was soo disappointed this year that we didn't have the pre xmas code glitches like asos/la redoute/evans :eek: last year it was amazing! I had parcels coming in everyday and my housemates couldn't understand why I 'need' all of this and how it's possible it's free or almost free
But I guess we all focus on Tesco so the other glitches just aren't discovered as often... Oh well, fly catchers will do I suppose! :p:p

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Czerchy we are women and amazing at multi tasking:T:T:T but we can't do everything, I have moments of panic when I go to the main grabbit board in case I've missed anything!!! Now get stuck into those essays;)Do what I do when I'm doing stuff I don't want to do, work for say an hour or write 2 pages then let yourself have 15 minutes on here, with a coffee;)

I guess as excited as my bf when I showed him a bag full of andrex rolls jumping with joy :cool: he looked at me like '!!!!!! it's toilet paper!!!' :rotfl: they will never get it will they? :rotfl:
however I'm not gonna push my luck with the fly catchers! :cool:
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Men will never understand :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Ok men some will but I know my OH won't when I find the bin smelly things!!But he was happy with the sausages I got yesterday on Whoopsie and Glitch( I got about 32 packets:eek::eek::eek::eek:)

I gave up showing my OH my 1p finds but when his dad was around before Christmas we were chatting and he had not realised that one of the kids old pirate toy chests was full of my treasure. All the 1p Halloween sweets from Ts, 10p ones from Sainsbobs and Wine gums!! He was genuinely shocked as when he had been walking past it each day on the middle landing of the stairs he thought it was full of books as it was that heavy. :eek: But he could not resist in getting down and showing off my stash, so I think even though he moans he is secretly pleased with my bargain hunting. He did take a OEL receipt into work, one that went from £60ish to 33p.

Has anyone noticed that each Andrex on the go has a puppy token on the back, can't see a code so I guess they will have to be used seperately? Does anyone know? TIA

See men are secretly pleased;)but they feel we are threatening their provider instincts when we return with the bacon:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:We are secretly making them feel inadequate with our glitcher gatherer skills:eek::eek::eek:(No offence to the chappies on here,purely talking about our other halfs;))

Anyway off she trots to go & find SEL on shelf ???
Meanwhile I spot original SA & she comes over. Immediately starts telling me how after I had left she had contacted her PI (?) & the Manager & both had said no DTD but I could have a £10 gift card :cool:
So I inform her that I had spoken to CS & YES they should honour the Policy promise. But she wasn't having it. Wouldn't ring the CS man & I could come back tomorrow to speak to Manager :cool:
I lost it then I accused her of making me feel dirty :mad:
I've never done a DTD before, I shop regularly there, have worked along side most of the staff when we all worked for LA
So I said I want a refund
They refunded me the £39.99 in small change - I did offer them the 1p



Now is the time to put this tale in a well thought out email to the ceo's office (matter of principle). Just explain what has happened and how this experience (you the customer) has made you feel, and politely suggest a programme of retraining for the people concerned to enable them to implement a simple Tesco policy - [EMAIL="philip.clarke@uk.tesco.com"]philip.clarke@uk.tesco.com[/EMAIL] You could also mention that you are so disillusioned with Tesco after this unpleasant experience, that you are likely to take your custom elsewhere.

I'd go back and speak to the store manager too. Not some poxy duty manager but real proper store manager....you will see his name and picture on the wall usually by CS.
