Hi
Batteries
I have just done my APG from ealier after buying 1 of the right batteries and 2 wrong ones and they all went through ok. The barcode on the batteries ended 256L (wrong ones) and 256 right one. That with the cleaning stuff I got I have a voucher for 14.680 -
Well I've failed, I've gone and used a pathetic smoker's excuse and lit up that first cigarette. Pathetic :mad:
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
No your not, its a VERY hard habit to kick. Just forget about smoking today, and start again fresh tomorrow.
Good luck!!“Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?”

earlier on in the thread, the batteries with the bunny on wouldnt go through on the glitch. i have 1 without the bunny and 2 with it so i thought the 2 with bunny on would not go through. but they did0 -

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

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

Aww Magic, don't beat yourself up about it. You've been having such a rotten time at the moment.I really don't know what I can say to help. Your aunty is bang out of order. :mad: I really hope you manage to get this sorted soon.
You can stop smoking again at any time, but now is the time that you have to protect your memories and your Grandad's possessions. So, I really wouldn't beat yourself up.
I hope you take some comfort from the rainbow and the way your Grandad is obviously looking down on you. :A:A:A
Hang in there hun, it will get better.Gwrys yn Kernow! :j0 -
How awful xxlouise56 - I hope not put your Mum off. Interesting .. been to Asda today really pleasant SA presented with £12.85 apg - she said I will have to call SV to put this through. We waited along time for superviser ......almost late for hospital.. anyhow while waiting she just said "oh don't worry any apg over £10 needs to have an override to put through till - only supervisor can do that". When S arrived she just saw it was an APG and put through without looking at amount pleasant enough but she just talked to superviser (they have their special key to override) - maybe she's seen a lot of these.
I wonder if Asda have sent another of their huddle notes which perhaps is as similarly ambiguous as last weeks'? So the jobs worth Managers/trouts and anally retentive are chosing to interpret it their way. God knows why vouchers over £10 need an override when they have set the bar cap at £15!
HTH
To be honest she doesn't really understand what it is I am doing. She kept asking me if things like tins of quality street were on offer :rotfl:
And then we went to sainsburys and she said "look that rice pot you got is 3 for £1 here, surely that's cheaper?!"
I just laughed!!!
I get my mum a lot of glitchy stuff as I know it helps her out alot.
I shall be going back my old faithful asda tomorrow where all my apgs are accepted with a smile0 -

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.
Sorry to hear your day has not been the best. Can't help you with the poos as I've not bought any since they went up from 10p.
Regarding the phone and photos, my OH has configured my phone (HTC) so that any photos I take on it are stored directly on my computer using something called Dropbox. Afraid all my technical knowledge left my brain when I had my first baby (likely makeing room for all the baby related things I needed to cram into it). Just thought this might be something to look into if you find you need to get a replacement.
In the mean time I hope some kind sole finds the phone and returns it to its rightful ownerAvatar courtesey of HC :beer:0 -

Just because you have had 1 or a few does not mean you still can't quit or that you have failed think about how far you have come and how many you haven't smoked start the clock again and go for it.
Don't loose all the progress you have made and effort you have put in go to waste, pick yourself up dust off you knees and keep on goingand don't let some by the sound of it waste of space that just wants to be spiteful stop you and upset you, you know yourself the time you spent with your loved one and the memories you made let them say what they like they weren't there so they wont ever know or appreciate it..
