Good morning (just) lovelies.

I haven't read back properly yet but it looks as though I've missed out on a bit of a kerfuffle This is such a lovely thread and everyone has been absolutely fabulous in so many ways it's very sad to see this ... I hope we all kiss and make up soon ... I'll start with the first

Anyway ... my first shock of the day was when I check my bank account to see a transaction for £34.57 listed on 13/3/12 for ... wait for it ... Sainsburys :eek:

Have spoken to the bank and they say the transaction was made on Monday the 12/3/12 (mums b'day so I can vaguely differentiate that day from the others last week). I think I may have popped in with cousin (was there a potential S glitch last week?) but all my recent 'purchases' @ S (pre current price flop so basically for the odd pack of kerrygold butter) have been made by redeeming Nectar points or using a gift card (refund of an item purchased using Nectar Points).

Anyway ... waiting for a call back from Sainsbobs CS who are searching their records :cool:

similar thing happened to me in the coop. spent well above what i normally spend. then i realised i had £50 cashback

That's what bothers me.

I was thrown out at the beginning with no apology or explanation given and despite their constant protestation that anyone was welcome there - a blatant lie.

To think that they would have the cheek to come here and benefit from something I have shared with this group makes my blood boil when they then deliberately keep me from befitting from something they may have found.

Actually, they werent. I'm quite happy to admit to posting my own pics over there and not here, more lazy than malicious, but the pics over there were posted by the people that took them.

Sorry to let a bit of fact upset the drama (and thats not aimed at you MM whatsoever, and please dont think so- just for the record, if you look back on this thread to the original drama, you would have been deleted in error (a 'rogue' admin deleted approx 70 people until they were caught and chucked off, very similar to todays escapades strangely!!), and so you were probably one of them. I did post at the time to say ppl affected could send rejoin request. Actualy, i think i have removed just 3 people since the beginning of the group, and those people know who they are lol)

Not the 'Pack' that someone mentioned, just me. Hope I dont disappoint. no doubt I'll now get shot for posting on here agin, but think its right to defend someone that you're all too quick to jump on for supposedly having something to do with nikkilala being booted, and actually had NOTHING to do with it whatsoever.

As ive already said TWICE this morning, but for some reason, everyones ignoring it, and as FK has actually backed me up wiht (unintentionally of course but hey ho), the membership number of the group has not dropped. NOT through booting or removing, but as of last week i notice a couple (at least) had left the group. I dont know if Nikkilala was one of them, we dont have a class register, but the numbers dropped. If this ties in with your 'communal' id no longer being a member, then voila, no conspiracy, no removal, no individuals being 'female dogs' etc.

And you can tell this, as physically, on facebook, if a member is removed from a group, you can see through the settings. Sorry to disappoint, maybe someone is trouble making? If they are, WELL DONE, you outdid yourself and it worked a dream.

No the facebook group has not died. I have stopped posting on this thread (oh cant think why). To be honest, if I hadnt been in FB contact with Nikkilala about this today, i wouldnt even had checked the thread or replied. And if any of you can tell me of a photo from here that has been carried across over there without permission, I'd love to know!!!!

Incidentally, the group is not an invite only. Its has been an open book on there for a while with new members being added quite happily. And I mean happily. No rows. Its lovely

So, i think you should look amongst yourselves before kicking the one person you can reach. Strange, if you think about it. With the whole group removal thing a few months ago on there. Someone removing people from the group until they themselves got removed. And now almost the same things happened, with the id removing itself. I'd be asking questions your end

Ahh, thought maybe that was why I didn't receive a reply to my pm a couple of wks ago. I had guessed you maybe didn't come here much anymore . But now your here for a bit, do you think you might have a wee look in your inbox.
Thanks

Baileys - you reinstated me back in January but within a few weeks I was deleted again? Admittedly I hadn't contributed to the group due to personal circumstances but no explanation was given

I'm hoping this is the case but unfortunately I don't think so ... I'm a bit like the queen ...

Please everyone

I am relatively new on here still but I come on here to get away from the pressures of life and have a bit of fun and feel a bit of support!

Please can we stop talking about Facebook and internally bickering - it serves no purpose at all except those who want to disrupt this post..

Lets rise above it and not talk about it - I could not bear it if this thread was shut down - it helps me cope with everyday life as I am sure it does others

OK?

top of the morning to you all

Hubby went and got another extra thick egg today - he took his glasses off cause he was worried they'd recognise him :rofl:

It seems the express stores have the treausre eggs as 2 for £3.00 so couldnt get the 6 x egg for £3.50. will have to venture out to the big one tonight. might even go late an try my luck with some whoopsies!

Been back on WW last week and lost 3lbs so going to try and get some fruit and veg tonight to keep me on track

I really think I am losing my touch when it comes to Tesco lately....Bought some lovely blackcurrant tarts (with coupons I might add ) They were dated the 29th, sat down with a cuppa to enjoy one on saturday but when I bit into it something in my mouth told me to spit it out, when I looked inside the tart was covered in FUR:eek::eek::eek:. As you can imagine I was horrified. I went straight to Tesco to show them. Cs just said oh sorry here is your money back and handed me £2, I just looked at her and said "is that it?, you could have made me very ill and all you offer is a refund. The manager was called and just said "we can not offer you anything here, the company might be in touch when we send them back for analysis. I said fine, you keep one but I will take one to give to the environmental health dept to see what they have to say. What do you guys think? Im sick and tired of being brushed off by Tesco, even at head office. When I called them last week because I had a run in with an extremely rude manager over DTD and batteries they investigated, called me back and said "sorry there must have been a mistake as the duracell batteries have not been on offer for a very long time" :eek::eek::eek::eek: (we all know thats a lie :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: ) Now either I am losing my touch or not being strong enough but cannot seem to get anywhere anymore when Tesco are in the wrong :mad:

The letter from customer service, will read sorry to hear that you have had a problem with our blackcurrant tarts

here is a giftcard.


You have eaten mould. Was the product out of date etc. Environmental health will check with the tesco supplier to show if they have been due diligent. The company is belongs to the BRC scheme so unlikely to not be due diligent.

Tesco will pass the buck, so you are not hitting Tesco but their supplier. Phone CS accept the giftcard.

I am 10 years quality control and my company is going for our BRC award so i would write such a letter too. Unless you've suffered a serious injury such as something in tart, this is human error.

I am telling you this is how it works, i'm an not trying to offend
