Tesco 11+ support group for incurable gasbags and addicted bargain hunters!

I switched back to the new forum skin for a minute and it hurt my head even more than last time. Really really bad I've installed Sylish on Firefox and following the advice of someone on the new forum look thread, have managed to remove the silly widgets on the right side of the page. Soooooooooooo much better.

Just saw this on the Daily Mail (I know but someone has to read it):

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2102595/Mother-died-waiting-THREE-DAYS-emergency-Caesarean-worst-maternity-unit-Britain.html

I had the misfortune of visiting that maternity wing and the midwife I spoke to told me some real horror stories. To think it was the exMIL who advised we go there :eek:

One thing I was told was how even if you are a high risk mum-to-be you could be sharing a midwife with 3 or 4 other ladies. In my local hospital it was one-on-one care for both my births and only DS2 was high risk.

No offense to anyone in that area but I'm glad I'm over here

As I have written before I dont often go to my local because they are so rude. However I have been watching the Valentine flowers and knew there would be a few good bargains tonight. I picked up a lovely bunch of large red roses reduced from £30.00 to £6.00 for my sis, a teddy holding red roses reduced to £1.50 for dd and a lovely bunch of pink lilies with £30.00 showing and it looked like the reduced label had been removed but they were sell by today.
So I asked someone on the shop floor as there was nobody on the f&v and she called another sa ( a right old trout) who took me to cs and after her and the sa on the desk had a whispered conversation about which one of them would have the flowers they grudgingly called someone from f&v. No one came and it was obvious they wanted me to just give up but I dont do that so I hung around. They were tutting and sighing and hoping I would go away when one of the assistants from f&v walked past and I said oh there he is. They just ignored me and when he came back in a few moments later the sa walked over to ask him if there was anyone around and she came back and said there would not be anyone who could reduce them till 9.00p.m. tonight. So I took the flowers and walked away to put them back where they came from. As I walked away I said I bet they wont be there by then one of the staff will have had them. She got quite stroppy and said shall I call the manager. I said no dont bother as I was in a hurry by then.
I am off out now to the larger store in the next town on the way to get Mum fish and chips so will look there. Why do people have to be so rude and unhelpful??

Baking help required please ...

made fairy cakes the other day with dd and they were fab, used same/similar recipe to make sponge sandwich today and it didn't rise.

I used 175g flour/sugar/butter and 3 eggs, drop of milk. and the sandwich tins I used were the Mr.T non stick ones that were wrongly priced a little while ago.

I'm wondering if I didn't make enough mixture for the size of the tins - can you tell I'm not a baking pro, lol.

Oh and I'm right handed.

I fear they are

When the ex and I split, I applied for my own clubcard and registered it at my parents address just in case. The ex seems to have transferred his one into my name so when I saw the Clubcard envelope arrive I almost binned it. Thankfully I didn't. It was the cc vouchers for the card registered at my folks :eek:

There was nothing dodgy going on, I just didn't want the vouchers to fall into the wrong hands IYKWIM. I've no idea how they realised what address I was at other than my Direct & Clothing accounts being registered where I am now.

Freaky.

Really don't want to worry anyone but judging by a fair few posts lately it won't go amiss to be reminded - Caz is spot on and as far as CC data is concerned, yes it is that smart and yes T will use it for whatever purposes they choose. If you use a CC, any transaction that can be linked by other CC accounts, addresses, phone numbers, names, etc will be linked and logged. Including Price check vouchers, DTDs if the receipt is scanned and a CC was used and any returns if a CC is used. Including CC vouchers issued from other accounts. Including every call and e-mail to CS and H/O (your phone number is logged as soon as the call goes in).

At the push of a button, T can (and will) lay out in one hit your entire transaction history at any/all of their stores or on-line down to the last 1p item purchased and the last bottle of wine returned. I suspect that the T transaction history of any one of us would make very interesting reading if captured in its entirety in one place.

There is a strong suspicion that they can also link payment cards but that is illegal so they can't use that data, and the more paranoid also start wondering about IP addresses.

There is more, a lot more, that T can and does record, including as we all know, monitoring the use of MSE and similar forums (fora?). Just because T does permit us to bend their own rules (eg by using someone else's clubcard vouchers or by cirumventing the Price check rules on number and value of claims per household per month) does not mean that it can't come back to bite us. 99.9% of the time T is not interested, not looking, but a few are unlucky enough to be in that 0.1%.

To repeat advice already given, just tread slowly and carefully and if you think you may be sailing a bit clsoe to the wind and there is any danger of popping up on the T radar, then I personally would stick with cash and no CC.
