Thats a bit poor:( surely it isn't your place to discuss stock control with the store!
I must have got lucky, the lady I spoke to couldn't have been more helpful. So bleeding inconsistent:mad:

That's T for you. He said if they are not getting the product in to ask for a giftcard for the full £2.99 value and not to settle for £1.49. I think he knows a certain martin.

I'm seriously stubborn and have a lot of stamina, but you can't fight the exhaustion with it. I hope you have lots of help, just try not to be superwoman eh Fingers and toes crossed for you, modern medicine is an awesome thing

Double thanks - and also for your posts today about coupons. I was getting frustratd with the waste of paper re printing off one coupon. (I am not tech savvy and went to school before computers in classroom) so am saving your helpful posts re sniping tools for when I get back on to this.

Suppose I ask for my coupon value to be put on a giftcard, wouldnt they scribble all over it? Would I still get vouchers from KC?

Just because Lenor MOCs scan on these doesn't mean you should

Similarly, just because Kleenex shine wipe thingies scan on other things doesn't mean people should use them on other things

That is of course unless people want to see the acceptance of MOCs curtailed

How on earth does the Lenor coupon scan on T's fabric softener when it doesn't even scan on the 500ml bottles of Lenor without the SA overiding it. The staff at my local never let you use vouchers on the small size.

By the way, picked up my free pencil case from staples this afternoon. They didn't have the one on the voucher but gave me a choice of 2 others.
Also got some HP photocopying paper for £2 a pack (nice quality) Don't know if it's a national thing or just a local offer.

It's worth a try I suppose depending who you get on CS. The lady I spoke to told me that the shine sheets were discontinued and that's why there wasn't any more coming in?? But the lady I spoke to on the phone said they were aware that some stores did not have enough stock to cover the promotion and they were trying to get stock into stores.....so who knows. I guess the problem has come from the multiple till spits, don't think that part was meant to happen:D

Well.... are you sitting comfortably? :rotfl:
I went 3 weeks ago and we'd had to change instructors. I'd felt more confident with the previous instructor so was a bit put out, but thought it'd all be ok!
This instructor said we could try a few jumps at the end of the lesson, our old instructor overheard and said this was not a good idea with one of the horses that was in our lesson, as she's a bit too keen, our instructor basically ignored her and said it'd be fine, you could tell our old instructor wasn't happy!

The first part of the lesson went really well and I was getting Red to do all I wanted (he can be a bit lazy!) then it started hammering it down and all three horses in the lesson started misbehaving!
We went into the indoor arena and there was some loose panel making a noise, all the horses freaked out and the horse I was on had a total freak out, he wouldn't calm down at all and obviously I freaked out. The instructor was trying to calm him down and even she couldn't, what annoyed me was she kept telling me to relax, but didn't say he's not going to do anything bad etc etc, it's hard to relax when you are unsure of what could happen. She eventually said it would be safer to get off and when he calmed a little I managed to get off, I was so gutted and when I got home I burst into tears!

Anyway, after that I decided I was going to have lessons on my own as I want to build my confidence and wanted to learn with the other instructor. Good job as the week I didn't go my friend was with the instructor I didn't want and was doing two jumps and ended up falling off. TBH I think it was a bit too adventurous to be doing two jumps in a row when you've not jumped for 10 years or so! :eek: That's why I don't really gel with that instructor, she just seems to throw caution to the wind with everything.

So, nearly finished, I promise! :rotfl: I went last week for the first time on my own and LOVED it! Much preferred being on my own even though it was harder work! Padded pants have been ordered! :rotfl:
I told my instructor about me having to get off Red a few weeks before and explained what happend, she didn't seem too impressed. So we did a few exercises pretending there was something scary and what I should do. She explained that if it's nothing to be scared of really then Red will not do anything dangerous and I am to get angry with him and kick him on.
Anyway, it was good practice, when we were finishing up I had to walk him passed a wheelbarrow, he freaked out and wouldn't go passed it - so she shouted to get angry and kick him on as he was being silly, so I kicked him on, told him he was a muppet and suprise suprise the wheel barrow stopped being scary and he sauntered on passed!
I'd like to add for others, by angry she doesn't mean beat him or anything like that! :eek:

So I'm now the proud owner of a hat, boots and jodphurs! Even though I nearly died at the price of my hat and boots! Oh yes, I got jodphur boots but would like to get some long boots too, do you wear long boots and if so can you recommend any? I like the style of the country boots even though the price is a bit :eek:
Next lesson this friday, hopefully the pants have arrived! :rotfl:
Cor, I bet you wish you never asked!

wow you had a bit of a time of it with second instructor, the worse thing to make people give up is pushy instructors, thats how accidents happen and people loose confidence so glad that has not happened to you. and that you are know enjoying yourself again. i know what you mean about the wheel barrow sometimes they find the silliest things scary and you have to be a bit firm to get them over it.
both me and oh have really old leather long boots he used to be a show jumper so his were very expensive, the kids all had new ones last year i will find the name of them later for you. i think there are so many on the market the most important thing is to get somthing that is comfortable for you.
ds2 is out riding youngster he is training at the moment and oh is trying out cowboy saddle on one of the others so wont see them until dark..

She is very nice and speaks good English. I could really understand her well. Unlike some of the other call centres that you speak to from time to time.

The large amount I got this morning did not help.

It is a very good glitch. Buy product for £1.49 in T and get a coupon for £3 to send to KC. It's double money I love it.

Nice cheap Andrex.
