    If it has, wait and check TCB and Quidco regularly as the offers tend to alternate and increase/decrease regularly - no point using your Cashback chance for £10 when waiting a few days/weeks will see a greater return.

    Excellent idea, thank you

    Im sorry, but smacking a child IS child abuse....

    QUOTE]

    Thought I'd add to the discussion. Personaly I think a light smack when deserved can act as a good deterrent. The amount of times I've seen parents try to use words with children and get no where is unbelivable.
    On another note, there's also the point that words can be just as hurtful. Having grown up with a verbally abusive mother, I can tell you that its just as damaging as physical abuse.
    Right I'm now going to say no more on the matter, before I start ranting and breaking down.:o

    :mad: Well, well, well ... Please identify yourself: woman with blonde bobbed hair wearing a black coat with a very distinct circle design who practically shoved me aside to take the last 4 Hot Wheels eggs in D'donald about an hour ago. Luckily for you, I was only there to check they kept them so I could report back here, as I said I would earlier on, or I would have given you a serious piece of my mind. You then told your mate what else to lift and discussed getting your apgs and I saw you again a little later with loads of garlic and herb potatoes and s & g in your trolley - not very discreet at what you were doing. As much as I love a bargain I would never be quite so rude.

    Anyway, I am reporting back as I said I would for the NI gang that the Hot Wheels can be found in that store on the bottom shelf of the seasonal aisle (that is, if you don't get shoved out of the way first).

    Rant over!

    Not guilty, I'm brunette.

    I spent from 2 to 3pm getting more and more peed off with a lady in my bank. I had made an appointment to sort out DH's pension yet again, some numpty keeps losing the documents I send them :mad:
    I had made my appointment for 2pm to give me enough time to sort everything out fully and get to my after school club in time. So I arrived 5mins early and behind me was another lady for her appointment, the only problem was that she was very late for her 1.30pm one :mad: but still insisted she got sorted first! They took her first too! I told the receptionist that I was very annoyed and she should have been made to book another appointment or wait for mine to finish seeing she was so late.
    Anyway it was getting close to 2.30pm and no sign of her finishing her appointment so I went to the room, knocked the door and went in and demanded to know when they'd be getting to me seeing it was her fault that I'd now be late for my next appointment. She had the cheek to demand why I should get better treatment than anyone else so I pointed out that because of her everyone would now be 30mins later than they expected and I had already let the people after me know it was her fault. The lady next in the line came to the door and told her to hurry up or just leave :eek::o. This soon got someone from the back out to deal with us and get what we needed done quickly, why they couldn't have done this in the first place I don't know so a very heated discussion took place between myself and the manager over the matter.
    I'm just glad that I don't have to go in there much anymore, I used to be in every day putting in the takings from the day before so bills could be paid easily. Once this matter is sorted I'll be closing all my accounts with them.

    Was that just for new customers?

    I'm faffing about with half price coffee, toilet rolls and £5 M&S cards on some purchases.
    I've convinced myself if I keep looking ill find something:)

    It came in an email today with the subject "Bonus point offers worth 16,000 points to welcome you to Nectar Business!"

    £10 off £50 voucher came in with ink order - but not applicable to gift cards according to T&C so bang goes that theory.
