    hi everyone
    hope your all good, so many newbies at the moment!

    well no T's for me in a while and burst into tears today when i did finally go in and got the most miniscule accidental dtd of all time, pathetic:(

    loads of crap gone on at home and finally kicked the OH out for good a few wks ago, i just couldn't take anymore and the icing on the cake was that he told me he was never ever going to look for a job near us and had kept me hanging all these years on purpose. I was doing great for a few weeks but now i'm having a few weak moments, I must distract myself and keeping trying to remember when i miss him how he treated me like something on the bottom of his shoe but still feel like my insides have been ripped out:(

    Am NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO way letting him back this time, i know he thinks i will crumble as i am the weaker more needy one but i think i've realised thats was my naivity plus the psychological abuse that has just completely battered my self esteem. Just need reminding/distracting in any weak moments when i feel like emailing or texting. In fact kids haven't even mentioned him since he went which says it all really.

    I didn't want to bring a downer onto the thread so avoided posting but am missing you guys, many others having a rough time too at the moment. A special hug for the 3dogs family and fudge cake, tiny shoes and flo flo.

    Will be lurking again but really am not feeling the need to go bargain hunting at all as before and tbh think i did just to get away from him, how sad is that:(. Am going to concentrate now on the two things that matter most in my life, my faith and my kids.

    Hugs to all xxx

    oh my can't believ i was just posting that as neosi posted that joke, any other time i would have found that funny lol xx

    What did you have to do.... Pay the full amount at the till, then take your price check to CS and they gave you a refund?

    Transaction was suspended. I had to take it to customer services and have all my shopping scanned again and paid there with price check:mad:

    Evening everyone, hope you are all well. Hugs to those who are not so good x

    Here's an interesting one to ponder over... So, a few weeks ago I exchanged some Clubcard vouchers to double up £85 of vouchers doubled up to £170. Anyway, the website was mucking about a bit and wouldn't let me input the vouchers and in the mean time the prices went up on the items I wanted to buy so I had a bit of a moan and they agreed to refund the exchanged vouchers back onto my account.

    The refund hasn't happened but I had another look and decided there was something else I wanted so I ordered that and it took £110 off from the vouchers that I had previously inputted that hadn't been going through before. I figured this now left me £70 to spend and if I couldn't find anything I needed I would give them a call to chase up the points refund to my account once the exchange was over.

    Well, anyway, tonight I have just put a few things in my basket with the intention of using up the other £70 of vouchers and it has again deducted £110 from the voucher codes that were used last time :eek:.

    What do I do???


    I'm still reading through so don't know if your question has been answered. If I understand you correctly as you go to pay your previous £110 is ready to pay with?
    On the left of the page, down the bottom it usually gives a list of the vouchers used to pay for the items. You could delete enough so that you only have the correct money to spend?

    Sorry if this is not what you mean.

    It's only a game

    Sorry to hear that celebrate and well done on kicking him out. Not an easy option but then no option is ever easy. Hope your faith and your kids get you through this tough time

    NICKNAMES
    If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah.
    If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes.


    NATURAL
    Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
    Women somehow deteriorate during the night.


    These bits are sooooo true, off to deteriorate :cool:

    There's a surprise. Torquay planners refuse Tesco's application to build an Extra.
    I'm sure T's will appeal but it will delay the process and I was hoping for a big T's nearer to me.
    Boooo!

    My husband says he will leave me if I don't stop shopping......... God I will miss that man.

    If the surgery nurse can't see you, there should be a district nurse available, even at weekends.
