Afternoon guys :beer: :beer:

My confession of the day:

I went to bed about 2.15am and, apart from letting pups out at 7am and 10am, I have been asleep and just got up at 3pm



And I don't care

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I had a lovely sleep and after 10am I let Molly up on the bed instead of putting her back in her crate and she soon settled and slept cuddled up to my head



Tesco and Asda are both open till 8pm tonight with these revised opening times, so will do my shopping soon :beer: though seeing as the Pepsi Max glitch on APG has finished I may just make it a Tosco only day to use up my £5 off £40

Glad you had a nice rest chick, and you're right not to care about sleeping for ages! :rotfl:

Most of the time it may be language skills and laziness but don't forget there are some people with learning difficulties and dyslexia. My husband is not lazy or thick but that is something he may write if I am not around to ask if the sentence is correct. Just because you are literate that's not a reason to get angry at people who are less fortunate than you.

That wasn't my point and I think (hope) people know that. Most people are not illiterate or have any reason for this text speak nonsense other than laziness.

Sorry but i agree with Kadison.

You are selling something, so you need to make the best impression. And in this particular case, that includes the example given. There is no excuse to use things like "i want 1 of those" instead of "i want ONE of those", in my opinion, that is down to laziness.

And if you look at a lot of the younger ones these days, everything they write on emails, text and messenger etc is all abbreviated. There is no hope for future generations if people are going to insist on abbreviating everything and constant use of predictive text

I completely agree QOC, the english language disappears more every time I see this happening, and personally, I feel incredibly angry whenever anyone says things like "what r u up 2?" I mean really, how many more letters would it take to form the correct sentence?! 7 in fact, laziness 'thru & thru', maybe it's my age......

Put it into the website and look at the voucher that comes up - if it is dated 2 September then it's a new voucher, if it's dated before then, then it has already been input to the system

I'd already printed them all off, and I put the relevent receipts folded inside the APG's.
But I've got an APG and a receipt that don't match, so I've obviously made a mistake somewhere
I'm just worried that if I print off the correct APG for the receipt I've got it will turn out I've already redeemed it and that in turn would mean I've handed over the wrong receipt for an unused APG which will have been scribbled on by the CA and then binned by me

It does make me cross :mad:

Misery Guts has a dictionary. If he cant spell a word and i am not here to tell him how to spell it, he uses that. Cost him 99p in a pound shop

I had a go at my dad once for sending me a text using predictive text. I switched it off :rotfl:

I google it if I can't spell it :rotfl:

I have predictive text on but it does my head in because it's conditioned to accept text speak and I text in real speak. That and the buttons on my stupid Blackberry keep sticking so 'anyway' ends up being 'anywywywywyw' :eek:

Well, we had a houseful over the weekend but both son number one and eldest child went off on the Manchester train at lunchtime.

Eldest child got home in 2 hours.

Son number one was supposed to catch his flight at 15.40 but he is still there, could now be 5 hours late :mad: Its still showing as "scheduled 15.40"

Does anyone know how long is it when a flight is late that they get compensation of some sort? Is it someone on the website?
Assume at some stage they get food and drink vouchers????
Its a T Cook flight

His flight is 5 hours and someone was supposed to collect him when he got home so that now will be someone else and in the middle of the night. And he said he was so glad to be going home, got really fed up of the constant rain and wanted 40 C back

When we flew to benidorm with thomas cook 6 years ago we were suppossed to fly at 1pm and were delayed until midnight, at 8pm that night we were given £10 of restaurant vouchers each.
We also had the problem that my oh medication was in a mini cool bag that need to be kept cold by freezer blocks, by the time we would have got to our hotel the medication would have been ruined and unusable but thomas cook couldn't care less. Luckily for us boots agreed to put the medication in their fridge and millie cookies took the freezer pack to keep them frozen.

I'm in a bit of a tizz....think I've mixed up my APG's and given the wrong receipt with one of them
Otherwise, I've lost one and the one I handed over, the SA has given it back without scribbling on .
I'm worried that if I print off a voucher for the receipt I have, it might come up as already used IYSWIM.
But if I don't use it, it might be perfectly legit and it was the other one I used which had the wrong APG attached to it!!

I'm confusing myself here.....but basically what I need to know is whether anyone has had an APG come up as already been redeemed. It would be soooo embarassing if that happened and I'd rather forfeit the £17 odd, but if it doesn't I'll just print off another voucher to go with the receipt I have.

All the APGs over £10 have the same barcode. Don't know if that helps you.
