Just a quickie as just got in but have done a muller shop and chucked in a couple of S&G's, went for the two flavours that glitched at 20p before, results in later so will report straight back. Did loads of wombling and persuaded Nannylala to buy a pair of Lala boots in A's;)

Lala pipped me at the post;)Spend a nice day with Lala doing what we both do best (shopping) am really pleased she talked me into getting the boots.It was lovely to see little Alfie and get a nice welcome and tail wag and;)he seemed more like his old self( Bless him ) also he is eating and drinking so that is always a good sign. Off to have my dinner then a nice leisurely catchup.

Packs of 2 british or irish Sirloin steaks are half price in T. Were £17/kg now £8.50/kg

Seems the scotch sirloin steaks are not included as two stores have had them full price today = free sirloins after DTD

Loving some of these phrases!

My Aunty used to say "She's got a face like a wet weekend".

DS had new school shoes in Jan. We bought them in C14*ks - £50. They were from the men's dept, not the kids because the last 2 pairs of kids shoes were rubbish - the stitching came undone and I was told he shouldn't be wearing them in the playground!!! This new pair are now coming apart at the heel - the block of heel is layered and the layers have all split and come apart. So, off I have just been in to ask for a new pair. Thankfully I had the receipt.

Glad to say that I was given another pair, although not without a lecture. Apparently they are not obliged to give me new ones as the shoes have been worn to school, and they are designed for adult males to wear to the office!!!:rotfl: Bearing in mind he has only worn them for 21 days (yes I counted!!) I thought that a little rich. I wonder how long they expect them to last in an office environment? I was also told that if it happened again, I would not be given a futher pair as they are not being used for purpose they were designed for :eek:. I had to laugh.

Why can't shop assistants just apologise and give refunds. What is this need to tell the customer off?

Out all day and just starting to read back - what have I missed, seem to have done a lot of pages today.

I still have a tosco rec stuck from last Sunday. Is there anything I can do about it - what is the current advice??


Well I did say the week was starting to spiral downwards and today it reached the bottom.

My car, one day after its MOT was making a funny whirring noise this morning but I thought it might either be the cold or the new brakes bedding in or catching etc. So I got to see my DAD and afterwards en route home the noise went into terminal mode. This was almost on the same spot as it had sudden dead failure last year :eek: anyway my steering was OK as was my brakes and no dashboard lights so I headed for the dealership garage who fixed my car last time, only about 10 mins away, kept my speed down to 20-25.
I parked up noticed my fan still was whirring so I reckoned so,etching to do with the fan belt.
So garage man came out to have a look started up engine, confirmed diagnosis by the noise it was making and went off with it to have a look underneath. It's a plastic wheel that has broken that the fan belt runs around, hopefully fixed tommorow.
So my car is 35 miles away tonight in the garage and I got home on the train
Possibly another £110 bill, after the £220 bill earlier for the brakes and shoes and MOT and my car road tax reminder arrived as well, another £220.
