  • Happy Birthday 4p. Does that mean you are now 5p??

    Nice morning here, blue sky (albeit with a few clouds) and can even see that yellow disc thingy!! Cold though!

    Off for a bike ride this morning, might be a bit late for WUL in Asda but will have a look anyway, really going to meet up with a friend anyway, anything else is a bonus!

    Good morning all

    Thank you to everyone for your kind words and advice last night about DS1's possible ear infection. After we managed to get him to have the calpol in his yoghurt drink he fell straight to sleep and managed to sleep through.

    This morning he said his ear is better and seems fine so it looks like it was just a really bad earache thankfully but I will be keeping a close eye on him today as he isn't at nursery.

    Need to go to the post office this morning and send some things we sold on ebay at the weekend. DS1 always loves this bit - taking his parcels to postman pat :)

    Caught up now and time to say a proper good evening:)

    Spent a lot of the day looking online at phone deals for my two Orange contracts ending in 5-6 weeks. Orange weren't offering much as a retention so I might switch to O2. What are they like these days?

    We were always with O2 but switched to Orange for a good deal (via e2save) 2years ago. First thing I noticed with Orange in my area was that reception was nowhere near as good as with O2. Retention guy said that Orange were addressing reception problems but if I went to O2 I'd find it was much slower for web access...but then he would..unless anyone has a direct comparison to support this?

    Good morning all :)

    Artha I have had both orange and o2. No discernable difference in them as far as I could see.
    I would say though that the o2 moments app is well worth going to o2 for.

    Morning all. And thanks - sorry about this - they've got it nearly completely wrong haven't they? This is one for CS if you are out of pocket. The milk mix & match was always a risk - but I don't see why you can't do it. For weeks, the semi-skimmed x3 was showing N/A, last week it worked with 3 for £3 for M, but now (i.e. last week) the 3 x 1% version came back N/A. This week the scanning on the APG might pick up something totally else. Complain to Sada CS - although you'll probably need to settle for the non-glitch on the Mullers, hopefully they'll throw in an extra £5 for the inconvenience and the large mess-up. They may simply do that or they may investigate more - if they do that, it could take a lot longer but won't affect the glitch on here (assuming it is still working) as it will be some time and, by then, the APG system may start playing up again (I'm not sure they always know why or when it will glitch in this way, re. the Mullers). Best of luck.

    My apologies - even though it's APG's fault. I would usu. divide an M shop, if there's glitching, into two - one a glitch shop another a non-glitch - though you need 8 different item on each. Looks like you'd then need a couple more different Mullers (still ten in total) and the rest, all the none-Muller, seems to add to 8 different.
