    It was about 3am the other night when I went onto M & S and searched the wines in order of lowest price to highest and could not believe my eyes when the Finca Manzanos Selection de Victor 2009 came up as £2.65 a crate of 6. (RRP was over £70!) I quickly ordered 2 but they went OOS then I searched around to see if had been posted anywhere else including HUKD, it then came back in stock so I ordered couple more but again became OOS straight away. I waited a while but it stayed that way. Was going to post link to it in the morning as a stranger on our thread put me off doing it that night they had posted odd comments on other threads too. But by the morning the page I had link for said and still says it cannot be found. I think it was probably meant to be £26.95 or £29.65 and someone missed a digit.

    Have noticed now I have opened the box they have sent me the 2011 vintage and not the 2009 but I won't worry about that. ;)

    Anyway think it is worth while checking the site if you happen to be up in the early hours like I was, you never know another may be mispriced. :)

    Right place, right time and all that! Congratulations :T:T

    Sorry - I'm sure that was scary but it did make me laugh :rotfl:

    Yes it was at the time really.Good job I wasn t on my bike naked lol. I let out a cry that didn't t sound remotely like me which promptly woke the rest of the house. Even though there was glass between us it didn't t register and it was like being face to face with him the perv lol. Perhaps i distracted him from breaking into the sheds or whatever thieves do. opportunist probably.

    Morning loverlies,
    last week son in law had his car for sale and gave the address to a caller, that night the car was robbed of its goodies (its a hot hatch).
    I got up four times that night as was sure there was someone outside......I didn't see them but was proved right.
    On sunday I awoke in the night again to see a man walking silently in the middle of the road, he stopped at my house and looked at every window, then went towards the car, I called out "and what are you doing" he didn't even flinch just turned and carried on walking.
    Lasst night we spent £600 on cctv, not very mse but we live in a really nice area and these scumbags are targetting us.

    Final note, the car was part exchanged yesterday so one less thing to worry about, it was robbed or broken into three times last year and fingerprint guy said they are the most targetted car in Essex.


    That's it you see isn t it. Thieves don't bother targeting rough areas so much they prefer to wander around to nicer places.

    Yes me and the Heat one :)

    Got a letter today saying thanks for subscribing etc. Was fairly certain that t&cs said it was a one off. Didn't have time to read letter properly before I left for hospital. It's it one where we have to cancel? I know I didn't give them any payment details.

    Because he texted me and told me:(And if you look you can't message him either:(

    Wasn't he permanently banned before?

    If he was then it wasn't a good idea to post who he was

    How did they try and take the window out from outside? The glass should only be removable from the inside. My mate had new windows fitted by the housing association and they were removable from the outside so he made them change them.

    Edit: I'm assuming they are double glazing btw.

    Awww you shouldn't feel bad, I think we've all been right place right time for something once or twice. I'm not even a wine drinker and if I'd been you I'd still have ordered it :D
    Have you tried logging into Mr Shoes to see your order status? Mine both show as cancelled, might be worth checking incase yours is part cancelled, save you getting just an order of fillers you didn't really want...?
