  • :mad::mad::mad: I should have got DTD on a phone set today (not my local) but the CS women removed the ticket:eek::mad: yes I didn't go with her my own fault:o but such a back hander move:mad::mad: demanded CCTV footage. But in the end I admitted defeat and got a refund.

    can't sleep:(:mad:

    don't you start! I was already annoyed enough with myself...
    I normally trust people:eek:;):o
    The CS women is on my hit list now;):cool: and it would be a shame if my trolley bashed into her:eek:;);)
    Nasty piece of work she is...

    I won't make the same mistake for such a high profile DTD :)
    plus I have plenty of years left:p
  • the only positive is I kept the points whilst getting refunded ;):cool:

    Better than the response I had tonight from the guy I messaged on T's facebook page about the out of date potato salad I bought.
    He told me I have 28 days in which to return the packaging and receipt and I *should* get a refund.
    I told him it's illegal to sell food past it's use by date and I'll see what trading standards have to say in the morning :D He's not replied


    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    I got a £10 moneycard after complaining about some out of date food a while back :cool: email on the first page;)
  • I had an interesting one today. We were hungry so stopped off at Mr A's for lunch (well I have 'luncheon vouchers' for Mr A so it made sense). We got various odds and ends and bill came to 6 quid odd.

    I handed over a few APG's. SA scanned em all then says 'oh.....seems we owe you 13p!'......I said no worries, I'll go grab a bag of crisps as you can't owe me money!

    It's fine she says and tenders the sale only for a request for authorisation to appear on the till. I'm thinking I'm in for a right old trouting when the supervisor arrives!

    SA explains to supervisor what has happened. Supervisor says 'give him the 13p this time' then turns to me and says 'we are supposed to put it on a gift card for you but as its only 13p you can have the cash'.

    You could have knocked me down with a feather!!!! :rotfl:

    :eek::eek::eek::eek::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Nice to get paid to shop :D

    oh that reminds me of my tesco dream for some reason:o
    Robinson squash had a ticket with "500 extra clubcard points" was the bottom shelf. I stared at it and then looked at the terms and conditions. Was like, only apply-able monday and wednesday between 5.15-5.30am:eek::o:o:o:o

    yes i'm weird:o
  • H all, had a good afternoon with our kids learning rugby from one of our community sports coaches. DS even joined in!!!!! But was disappointed when competing and was winning right up to the end and the coach gave bonus points for anyone who could kick the ball into a square and have it stay there, one of our smaller ones done it! Not a happy DS :(

    Tonight with our oldest group was OK until the girl who I mentioned in last nights rant decided she didn't want to get into more trouble with a group who'd joined us for the night, came and sat with us then tried to start arguing with our teenagers :mad::eek:
    All they'd done was ask her how she was related to 3 of the people in the other group because they had said she wasn't.
    The kids also quizzed her on how long she'd been helping out with the centre, to which she answered 4 years but DS has been in the centres groups from he was 7 and asked which groups then told her she couldn't have because he was in all of them and had never seen her before last years summer scheme. She tried to say that maybe he was mistaken but when I'd told her that I'd helped out in the summer and couldn't remember her she soon changed her story to she couldn't remember when she'd started :rotfl:
    The teenagers wouldn't let it drop and had noticed that she seemed to prefer being with the other group so asked her outright which group she would choose to stay with if she could only pick one to be with forever and she chose the other one :eek:
    Even if you feel that way you shouldn't tell the kids that your supposed to be looking after that you would rather not be with them!! :mad:

    Well I'm looking forward to be handing in my parental questionnaire tomorrow because there is a great wee section at the end for us to voice concerns and I think they'll be shocked at how long mine will be as I had quite a few things that weren't acceptable in my opinion but nothing ever seemed to be done about them.

    Oh, and we nearly had a major medical emergency because someone forgot that we had a child with nut allergy and handed out toblerone :mad: and it was only when she asked me when I came back in about whether there were nuts in it that I knew they'd been eating them so had to get her out and get the rest of the kids to go wash their hands and face. To be honest I wasn't trained to deal with this even though I had voiced concern about everyone being properly trained, I wasn't sure how severe the allergy was but knew enough to get her out of the room to at least keep her from being in contact with the other kids but thankfully she was fine, I dread to think what might have happened if she had been younger and just ate the chocolate.

    Sorry for the long post, just had to rant a bit again now for some sleep.

    Goodnight all

    There's nothing like a good old rant to get it off your chest. Wish I could do it more often, I tend to keep it all in then lose the rag when I simply can't handle things any longer. So keep the rants coming if it makes you feel better :)

    Thinking of heading to the Balloon Fiesta tomorrow or Saturday, shall see how it pans out. My neighbour's have had a balloon flight booked for years and it gets cancelled everytime. The couple that were going with them, the man is scared stiff of heights and because it's gone on so long, he's worked himself up more and more and now decided he can't go. So has offered it to my Mum and Dad. Obviously given the chance mother dearest would prefer to throw my Dad out the basket than spend the flight with him but seen as our neighbour's are going too and she wants the experience, she's gonna go :D And 2 weeks ago the neighbour's got the call to say their next flight opportunity is Saturday morning from the Balloon Fiesta! Which if it's a mass ascent is gonna be amazing! :jBlinkin wish I was going! :p

    Time for beddy byes, night all :A
