    Morning everyone :)

    Would love another straightforward glitch over the weekend please :) The ICBINB reminded me how good the cockup misprice at till glitches can be and these tend to be a speciality of T. Lost my mojo somewhat for APGing at the moment - need a no-brainer that brings home freebies or near enough and doesn't involve chocolate to get me going again please :) I know, it's asking a lot, but I will live in hope :A

    Went to T yesterday to do a "normal" shop - it is getting harder and harder to do this :o:o Think I may need therapy to cure my disorted style of retail therapy :o:rotfl:

    I know the feeling, I take my mam to m's every Friday and its so hard to just buy some food :rotfl:

    Dont know if I should post this here but I will anyway. Just got back from a&e where my daughter is asleep under observation after taking a massive overdose of paracetomol, sleeping pills and anti depressants. She suffers with anxiety and depression and a problem at work seems to have pushed her over the edge. Luckily she told me within an hour and she got to hospital within 3. They have her on a drip to counteract the paracetomol ( has to be done within 8 hours ) and although she was very agitated she is now asleep and they have sent us home. seems she will be on the drip for 20 hours and then they will check her bloods again.
    I was in such a state I could not even go with her in the ambulance. Hope she has not done any real damage. This is not the 1st time but the last time was over 9 years ago and I really thought she would not do it again.
    Must go to bed now to get a little sleep before going back.

    So sorry to hear this Rose. How awful for you all. I hope you daughter makes a full physical recovery.

    When the dust settles, can I suggest that you encourage your daughter to get counselling by someone that specialises in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). They really can turn people around and give them long term coping strategies.

    Big hugs x

    Just had a FB message from Tesco offering me a £10 gift card for the lack of a PP on one receipt, chances are it would have been nothing but £10 for a womble is rather nice! Now, what to do if they ring me tomorrow and offer me the same (another enquiry about the same receipt was made over the phone) :D

    I emailed T re a wombled receipt that did not produce a PP (or an email to say cheaper at T). Got a reply back asking for details of receipt, clubcard no. etc.

    What do I do now, as womble has details of a clubcard being used - so obviously not mine!!

    If I give details of receipt and say no clubcard used, surely they will see that one was and that it was not me!

    Advice please

    Depression is a horrible illness, thankfully your daughter asked for help x

    Oh you poor thing - my very best for you darling. Not one of us knows what the future holds for us or our children.......the mind is a very fragile thing. I hope that she makes a good recovery and gets the help needed.PXX
