    Morning all, lovely and sunny here in the Cotswolds after a wild night of wind and rain. WIll be doing my hour for RSPB later.

    Quick question with regard to SS tills/ self-scan tills... does anyone ever get till spits from them? Used self-scan yesterday and it was nice to pack stuff straight in bags round the shelves but dont want to miss out on till spits!

    I have a friend who works the SS tills and I have asked her this. She says the only extras to come off the SS tills are when the petrol promotions are on and £x off when you spend £xx on Tesco Direct.

    Looked everywhere in T's for the 50p sierra gas lighters.
    Can anyone help me where I should be looking?
    I think someone said they are on strips but are they usually in a certain aisle?

    TIA :)

    If you have no luck it might be worth checking out the Express Store - they have loads in mine but there is no price on the SEL when I last looked - maybe worth a scan on the SS and if they are full price, forget your purse.:)

    As mentioned in my last post, I went to try to find the 4p shirts at T, but no luck I'm afraid. Tried two versions that both carried the "improved fit" label, one from the 'half price' racks, the other not. First one scanned at £4, the next scanned at the £8 price.

    I've decided my household is a dysfunctional one, and I mean other people in it and not me. Washing machine has been temporarily out of action, as the pipe froze, so some shirts at still at the cleaners (to be picked up mid-week). I thought I'd buy a couple of new shirts anyway as I've had all my current ones for quite some time.

    The news on the T 4p ones came excellently timed, but it wasn't to be. I went to look round elsewhere but they were on full price and more. Thought I'd heard the washing machine being put on this morning and that some of my shirts would therefore be waiting at home, washed and dried.

    The reason I say "dysfunctional" is because I have some other shirts but, after the pipe problem, the other person took them and all other items waiting to be washed and put them (temporarily I assume) in a bin bag in the back yard and covered them with a piece of carpet. Then, separately and later in the week, they put all junk inside the house, blocking the back door.

    So I've come home - to an empty house as they've gone out - and opened the tumble drier and, not only has the drier not be put on long enough, so that the clothes are still a bit wet and ready to start smelling:eek:, but no shirts at all!:mad:

    I've moved all the junk out of the way and of course the shirts and clothes in the bin bag in the yard are soaking well through and extremely heavy, filled with water and stinking badly. There's at least two washloads. I've now put one of them, with all the shirts, on - the other can wait - and put the tumble drier back on. They turn it off when it hasn't dried the clothes - and don't start me on the ineffective dishwasher setting they always choose despite being told numerous times, and time again, that it doesn't work!!:mad: Absolutely dysfunctional!!:rotfl:

    I think I will move house (a bit drastic maybe, but a solution) and apply the only rule - if you want a job doing right, do it yourself. Others simply won't accept they have a problem that needs sorting. And until they do (which they never will), it won't be solved. There's absolutely no point mentioning it to them - the 'problem' I've had in the last few minutes - as I have already sorted it out now and time to move on. They can have their dysfunctionality to themselves as far as I'm concerned (rant over folks).

    OH I feel your frustration I live in a similar [STRIKE]dysfunctional[/STRIKE] lazy household wich is why I end up doing everything:(

    Our neighbour has a small yapping dog which barks at the slightest noise but he is in and out all day so its not left on its own.
    But in the summer he puts it out in the garden on its lead and the lead it attached to one of those spike things so its outside barking away, now that is annoying when you want to have a quiet half an hour in the garden.

    :( We too have the same problem - a neighbour, whose kittens I ended up with - then got a Yorkshire Terrier. It is just left in the garden to bark & bark & bark. In the summer none of us could use our back gardens :(:( as she just goes out & leaves it - one night it was 1am. If she bothered to walk the dog to tire it out it wouldn't bark as it would be asleep. But No she's not walked it since the first few months - mind you her kids are feral :(:(
    This is no reflection on my friend Spiralling Up as I know you care deeply for your dogs & only want the best ♥

    Spirallingdown, may I recommend a book, "The Dog Listener" by Jan Fennell. We read it some years ago and have found it invaluable. :)

    :T:T:T This was my Dog Bible - brilliant - the 5 minute ignore & the not saying goodbye & just leaving - such simple but obvious tips :D:D:D

    Read this earlier http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/disneyland-paris-pay-what-french-pay-revisited-save-up-30-1458251 and depending on dates seems to be a way to save up to 30% on disneyland paris for anyone who is thinking of booking up.
    As usual ripping the consumers off or at least trying to :eek:
