    This is my nomination for ridiculous email of the week. I bought 4 NB Ale, submitted my receipt to quidclown and it was ( shock, horror ) rejected. So I emailed as usual and this is the reply :huh: :huh: :huh:

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hello xxxxx,

    Thank you for contacting us, I can confirm that the offer for Newcastle Ale is buy 3 separate bottles to receive £1.50 cash back. I can confirm from your Asda receipt that you did purchase the product but you have only purchased 4 so, unfortunately you are not eligible for cashback this time as the wrong amount of items have been purchased.

    Apologies for any inconvenience caused, you are able to see the full list of what products are associated in the offers on site by clicking on the 'Offer Details' under each offer.

    Kind Regards

    Xxxxx

    Horrific way to start the day this morning...

    Woken by my little 8 yr old boy screaming, heard him run to the bathroom, then burst into our room with blood pouring down his face... So ended up in A&E at 7.20am!!!

    It turned out that our 6mth old kitten had jumped down from his window and landed on him, He was soooo lucky. She had scratched along his eyelid just at his eyelashes, 1mm lower and it would have been his eye :( Hes been thoroughly examined, all cleaned up and is on AntiBs, just in case as its so close to his eye.

    I am just thanking his guardian Angel who must have been looking after him then - it could have been much, much worse...

    Oh mamsie what a shock for you and your ds, I hope he is okay now (((((Mamzie and Mamzie's ds))))

    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    what was the other unseen item please ?

    am sitting here with keys in hand awaiting results of egg tests :rotfl:

    have another item to add :cool:

    naughty plan, but eggs, lynx and frequent surprise could add up to a monster apg (is there a cap in place ?) :rotfl:
    Back to square one, no apg, no comment.
