    i don't know what to eat it with :rotfl::rotfl:
    Asafoetida (also known as devil's dung, stinking gum, asant, food of the gods, giant fennel, is the dried latex exuded from the living underground rhizome or tap root of several species of Ferula, which is a perennial herb. The species is native to the mountains of Afghanistan, and is mainly cultivated in nearby India.[2] Asafoetida has a pungent, unpleasant smell when raw, but in cooked dishes, it delivers a smooth flavor, reminiscent of leeks.

    Afternoon guys & gals..


    I took advantage of the BS glitch, ordered one shop last night, then did 11 today..

    Out of that I had 4 emails stating that the orders had been unsuccesful & payment could not be authorised..
    They have taken payment for the 12 shops and i'm also £20 light in the bank :(:(:( as well as the four rejected shops.

    Yet on the emails they state they don't take payment until items are being despatched, on the order history on bs website it states, 4 orders rejected, 8 successful, so how can they charge me for the rejected ones ??? :eek::eek:

    I'm lost, do any of you wonderful peeps have any idea what has happened, as I can't find out for certain til monday when the bank catches up..

    What do I do next, has anyone encountered this before ??


    TIA

    When you place an order online your bank will ring fence that money so that it can not be spent However, the bs will not take their money until they dispatch it. They do this just as a check to make sure you have the money before the order goes through. :)

    The money will go back on your available balance soon.

    Just eating some honeycomb biscuits with my tea (not that nice really), bought them as a trigger, but what were they the trigger for?? (Forgotten and its annoying!)


    They were a trigger for Walkers Crisps! :D

    Ah I see to me that's the same thing though, or am I just being simple :D

    Never ordered from BS before so I don't have a clue what I'm doing ;)

    Is there any chance they will send the rejected orders does anyone know, or are they gone now ??


    TIA
    I always take the moral high ground, it's lovely up here...
  • have just seen "on the other side" that tesco value rice pudding is down to 12p - do you think they are wondering why no one is buying rice pudding from them?

    One of my shops from earlier. Just posting to let you know that the potatoes and S&G are still coming up at their glitchy prices.
    Also I haven't seen the Clearasil scrub mentioned yet, so that works with T, although I've just read that the Biore pore strips work with herbs vs sains, it might work out cheaper if it works with herbs too.

    It's only a game
