The New Thread

mimi1234

Hello all. What a day.

1) Decided to do a shop before work and left my phone on the train. Had all my family photos and stuff on there. Must remember to be less clumsy.
2) Managed to pick up wrong Robinsons. It clearly said 1.75l on the sel and it said £2, but the !!!!!!s had put the 1.25l ones there instead so messed that one right up and ended up with a voucher for 50p. Must remember to keep my eyes open and check the product in the future.
3) Got trouted on the second run by a horrible wench cashier who would not put my £7 voucher through, saying it will be "on my head". Asked the supervisor to come and check who spent 15 mins with CS by which time I had almost had 10 kittens. Everyone was gawking at me like I had a rat sat on my face. I thought this is it, I'm going to get arrested (police station next to Sada store, eeeek!). Anyway, back she trots, gives the horrid cashier a good old rollocking and says "It's less than £15, you know the rules, just do your job". ;) Do you think I should complain about this? I was so embarrassed. I even said "stuff the voucher, I'll just pay cash" and she wouldn't let me.

Let's hope I picked up the right batteries. If not, boohoo!

Is JF still working or not? Some people are saying yes and some are saying no? I get easily confused.

Well I've failed, I've gone and used a pathetic smoker's excuse and lit up that first cigarette. Pathetic :mad:
I went to my Grandad's house with my mum tonight, then my aunty turned up - mouthing off too my mum until my mum went out into the garden to get away from her. She then started on me...all I said politely was for her to not throw things away, and she just starts ranting and raving saying she can do what she likes, screaming at me, calling me a !!!!ing liar, saying things about my mum... now all that I can take...
then she goes on to how she did everything for my grandad and we did nothing, and how my Grandad even said it himself that we were nothing and she did it all - I lost it, I told her she was disgusting and how dare she stoop so low to say such things.

I could of slapped her, I was shaking so much, I walked out, went to the shop and bought some fags, it tasted gross, made me feel !!!!! but I still smoked it.
Mum and I were meant to be going out for dinner after but just didn't feel like it.

And on the way home I just totally broke down, all the way down the mway all I could see was a huge bright rainbow, practically all the way home, some may know the relevance of that to me and my Grandad. :A

So I've failed, I'm once again a smoker. I could scream.
Anyway, I'm sorry all I ever do is moan on here, feel free to ignore me!
Hope you are all ok

Just been offered a interview with the http://www.thegrocer.co.uk/

Does anyone know who was the person that found the glitch from the womble? I really dont want to look back over 40000 posts. if not more.

Its more to do with the stashing then the glitch itself etc.

leave it alone.

Magicowen, so sorry to hear that. Your Aunt is beginning more and more to sound like a very sad person, take comfort in the fact that you are a wonderful caring person, and don't believe a word she says about your Grandad, that sort of person just throws words together in the right order to hurt people

As for starting to smoke again, well you had a very good excuse this time, and you found out how awful it tastes now, I sincerely believe you will be back on that wagon by tomorrow:)

Big hugs, you did well not to punch her.

One slip does not make you a smoker again. Tomorrow is another day, you can do it

Worked nicely, a v s. Not sure what happened with the MCcoys but a good filler anyway (£1 in Spa so still cheaper) Fillers removed. I used print off 50p MOCs for both sanex, free beans and I used 2 smaller and a large APG, not too bad.
At least Ive got it out of my system A v S and I can go back to repeating the shops I feel comfortable doing with cereal, muesli bars and cat food
