    :Dsquigs, just wanted to say thanks for all your test shops and results you have been posting lately!!:T:T

    you are a credit to the thread!!:beer:

    Thanks Locarr:)

    I have been reading this thread since DTD days and just love it.

    I don't often have alot to say, as I can't always find the right words to join in with all the regulars banter.

    I love how you all help each other out with all your problems and when I feel more confident, I might ask you for help with mine.

    I find it much easier finding and posting results to help other people.

  • 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 owner :)

    Dropbox is easy to setup but not much use for your current situation sorry mimi1234, hope someone honest picks it up for you..

    Magicowen - what an awful day. Do not be too hard on yourself - giving up smoking is stressulf enough without everything you are going through. Have your quite smoking time later than the national time. Sending big hugs.

    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 :)

    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.

    Well said Missymoo. xxx

    Oh Magicowen, life is really testing you at the moment, your aunt sounds such a nightmare. I have a similar aunt and I won't go into details but she makes Budgie angry so very much.

    In her case she thinks wealth gives her the right to behave badly, how sad she is but I digress.

    With smoking or any other addiction I think you have to take it one day at a time, today was a bad day. When you wake up tomorrow, put it behind you and start the day afresh.

    I think for all that you are going through, treat yourself more kindly, your aunt is a clearly bitter and unhappy lady. You know how things really were and I would say the rainbow was your Grandad, giving you a hug (()) and telling you that in the end everything will work out just fine. :A

    You take care and as I say treat yourself more kindly.

    Big hugs (())
    Budgie xxx

    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". :D:p;) 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.

    Still working earlier most who say no have mixed shops
    hth

    I'm so sorry to hear this but you've got to tell yourself you've given up once you can do it again. My mum was a 40 a day and gave up for 7 months, then received a phone call that her nephew had died and the 1st thing she did was get a pack of cigarettes, she smoked again for 2 weeks until after the funeral and then gave up again, it's now been 7 years but she's still going strong and even persuaded my dad to give up 4 years ago.
