I envy you - thought everyone had to pay for green collections these days. The silly thing is they would get a lot more than just these bits off me if they collected for free, I struggle to get everything in my compost bin and have a couple of containers with things waiting to go into it - they would get all this and be able to sell the compost on! I am sure it would be better for them to do a green collection for free.

We don't get food waste bins though, although I do know people with pigs that occasionally get some from us

having all this recycling has drastically cut my black bag waste down and im pleased with it im not a eco worriror but do care for the planet and what my kids will have to grow up with .

can you not drop of to the recycling plant for free?minuse petrol;)

we get black bags collected every other week and they go with pink bags and food waste and we get green and garden waste next week nice and easy and all the bin men and ladys are amazing her

actually i shamed my self yes2day as one of the bin ladys around her is olympic weight lifter natasha perdue and i seen her ye2day morning and

shoutedd to my friend look its natasha the olympic lady she smiled and waved :o

Yes mine were all resubmitted with adjusted times. Depressing thought that they will all need re doing yet again, 5 of them.

The one you got back did it have a 17th or later date? I got mine back for the 17th no problem, its the 15th and 16th and the earlier one I have have stuck.

On the plus side all of my conditional spends are used up now apart from the £4 wys £16 one for cleaners - has anyone any suggestions as to what to buy to get a TPP back and/or click snap crocodile items. I do have some £3 Kim Clarksville as well.

my thoughts are that once I've used that one up plus the few small TPPs then I can go back to avoiding the place.

Afternoon mhoc, mine was dated 18th. Also, the checkout no at the bottom of the receipt was 033, on my last attempt as well as changing to 12 hour format for the time, I made the till no 33. HTH

Its a bit longwinded

I am writing to you as I am at the end of my tether and have just got off the phone in tears from Tescos and really don't know what to do now.
On the 25th January 2013 I saw a deal that Tescos were offering which was £16.25 a month for broadband and internet. I decide this was a good deal and applied online. I entered my phone number:******** and postcode: ******* and this was accepted. I received a confirmation email with my order straightaway with account no.A*******. I also received an email confirming my Direct Debit payments.

I then received an email with this on the 26th January:

Dear Mrs ********,

Thanks for choosing Tesco Broadband with Evening and Weekend calls. We are pleased to inform you that your chosen package will start on 11th February 2013.

If you are moving your existing telephone number to Tesco, the number transfer process may take up to 24 hours after your Broadband has been activated. During this period, you will be able to make outbound calls, but inbound calls will not reach you. Callers will hear a ringing-tone but you will not be aware that they are calling. If you have opted in to receive SMS text messages we will advise you by SMS once each stage of the transfer is complete and your services are ready to use.

I then received my router in the post and another email on the 11th February saying that my phone and broadband were ready for use.

I am now going to explain in the simplest terms possible what happened next as no one at Tescos seems to be able to realise what they have done!I will do it in sections as it is the only way you will understand it.

1/
I work from home and have two lines going into my home, one to the house and one to an office in my garden.
The telephone number of the office line is ******* and this is a number that is purely used for Business Internet and was supplied by Talk Talk. On Friday 8th February this was disconnected and I spent 6 hours on the phone trying to sort it out and all I was being told was that someone had asked to take over the line and it would cost me £260 to get it back as I was out of contract and would need a new line putting in. In the end I gave up and have requested a new service from Plusnet at a cost of £100.

2/
On Saturday 9th February my home phone was disconnected Tel no.********. I phoned Virgin who were the supplier that I was with and was told that they had had a request from Tesco to take over the line. This was being ported over 2 days early which it shouldnt have been and the Export/Ref I was given by Virgin was: ******.

3/
On Monday 11th February all of my services should have gone live and nothing did.I phoned up Tesco who told me that another dept would phone me on Wednesday 13th. They phoned and sent an engineer to me on Friday 15th February who confirmed their was no dial tone on my line,Which I had been telling Tesco all week.

4/
Today I have just had 2 engineers arrive who have checked my line and said that Tesco have completely messed up my phones. The internet that I have lost in my office, which meant I have been without work emails and Internet for 12 days now, is because you requested the wrong line to be disconnected. Someone has looked at my order by address and not phone number and has disconnected it, This is at a cost of £100 to me as I am having to have it reinstalled!

5/
I have spoken to Tescos this morning who have told me that I am no longer with them as someone else has taken over my line!! But they are still looking at the wrong line and are looking at my office line which will have a request to be taken over by Plusnet because Tescos disconnected it when the shouldnt have!

I have tried for 1/2 hour to explain to Tescos what they have done and that I was told by the engineer that it was not possible to put a Tesco service down my Virgin line. I was never told this originally and nowhere does it say this on your website application,you type in the number and postcode and it tells you if you can have the service or not, which it did and took my order. They have now said that I should get a phone call from someone in the Provisioning team this afternoon to talk about having a new line put in which can accept your service.

I am now totally at the end of my tether, I have had no phone for 12 days and no Business internet and have had to pay £100 to get a business internet line back and it will take another two weeks before it goes live.

:mad::mad::mad::mad:See that what I've been trying to sort out for 2 weeks!Now they are going to put in a new BT line free of charge and I'll take it from there;)

Re-posting this incase anyone missed it last night...




Handy tip for those with iPhones....

Open the Tosco app and go to your clubcard. Take a screenshot and set as lock screen picture. Then when you have your clubcard scanned you don't need to unlock the phone, find the app, wait for the clubcard to load. All you need to do is press the home button to light the screen up at the second it's required.;)
