    I've been having trouble printing loreal vouchers from home but managed to get them printed at work. Both comps use IE7 so i dont know whats wrong at home. Sorry it doesnt help any others having problems
    printing

    I've just been on SSM and found i have some unprinted duracell vouchers. They'll also come in handy when i do my next conditional spend shop as i found some B1G1F labels still up in one store! ;);)

    This was the problem I had today, I felt like a bit of an idiot :(Tesco messaged me and have said sorry but in all honestly it puts me off going back in there. I know everyone gets trouted but this is my local, I know the people who shop and work there and I feel uncomfortable going back in especially with another £17 p/c!


    Not good :( I have been trouted before on a JTD a while back. it did shake me up! and upsets you and makes you never want to step foot inside again:(

    I got dragged to CS like a theft while they talked about how high the voucher was etc.. I politely stood my ground and explained why it was so high and what product it was that was cheaper in Asda. And told them to either get on with it or I would leave my shopping there and go else where. They took noticed and took my voucher and I left with the shopping. I did say to them I wouldn't have to do this if Asda wasn't cheaper:D

    But in you're case I would go back in and use a manned till and pick you're SA wisely! maybe late in the evening? 8/9pm+ and show them the voucher. If they ask what it is, then explain and show the receipt. If they decide to be funny then just walk out/ threaten to walk out but as last resort.

    p.s. sorry really isn't good enough tbh.

    Wooopie, I've done it :j :j :j

    I've caught up at last

    Who mentioned mini stottie cakes yum yum :A I did have some in my freezer from my last tgrip home but used the last one on Wednesday

    3Dogs I hope Alan is feeling better today and that his pains have been eased somewhat. You two bring tears to my eyes and make me realise that my problems can be sorted whereas yours, well we know the outcome.
    I do hope that you can both make the trip home and have a good time :beer:

    Celebrate my heart goes out to you as I have been in that same situation and it took me quite a while to realise what was going on and get the courage to say enough is enough. Mental abuse is used by people that feel they need to take power from a person and make them weaker.
    Good on you for taking the step to end it and I can honestly say that with your faith and kids you will get through all of it. Onwards and upwards is my motto, go Celebrate, you can do it :A
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    Celebrate you should be so proud of yourself for taking the neccesary steps to sort out life for you and your children. You only get one shot at life and we all deserve to live it to the best of our abilitys. Life can be so short and taken away in the blink of an eye.

    Many of us have had bad relationships and it takes along time to break the cycle of going back.
    I went back again and again to someone who amongst other things kicked me down the stairs whilst I was 6 months pregnant, I literally begged him to take me back and agreed to everything he wanted. I was broken and hurt and didnt know any better, I thought it was 'love'.
    Until enough was enough and I walked away, it hurt more than anything, I felt I would be alone forever. But I grew stronger, learned to love myself and life and was happy.

    There are some really amazing people on this thread, the kindness that is shown is truly humbling at times. You know you can post any time day or night and someone will be about to give hugs / hold your hand / be your shoulder to cry on or just to give you a kick up the backside.

    At times it will hurt like hell, there will be times when you just want to curl up unde rthe duvet and there will be times when you want to burn all his clothes! But through it all you have your faith and your little ones and that is more than some.

    Celebrate please remember you are not alone in this, you can share as much or as little as you need but we will always be here x

    Thanks hun, I think any other store it wouldn't have bothered me, but this T's is like my corner shop :o haha. It was a manned till before and I thought the SA looked ok. Oh how wrong I was! Sorry you had the same but glad you stuck up for yourself :)
    I just hate making a fuss in there as I would hate a ban or anything, god the shame in that when people from school etc work there!

    3Dogs so glad the oramorph worked for Mr3Dogs x

    Everything will be ok in the end, and if it isn't ok then it isn't the end :)
