Just back from Tsco in Stirling and no £2 off finest voucher given. Maybe it doesn't apply in Scotland? Or maybe just store specific.

Evening.
I'm not staying on too long tonight, don't feel very sociable at the moment. Quite a few things going on in RL that are making me feel so down it's unbelievable, cap that off with the complete and utter loneliness I'm feeling at the minute and it doesn't make for a good situation. I'm not sleeping well, which doesn't help. Not being able to leave the dogs for long is making things worse, as is having to clear up every time I do leave, not to mention the amount of money to replace everything before my annual housing officer visit.
Being given a hard time for deciding that I'm not the best person to look after 'the beast' by so called animal rescuers is really getting to me. At least I haven't just advertised him on scumtree and given him to the first person who said they'll take him, I care where he goes to, I want him to be looked after well, I want him to go to someone who loves him as much as I do:(
I can't talk to the person I usually talk to because she's got her own problems and tried to end it all last week after having a breakdown a few days before:(
Life just isn't fair, those of us who play by the rules get all the carp of the day thrown at us while others 'seem' to get an easy ride. Or maybe they're just like me, they hide everything away, let the world think they're doing fine while underneath they're falling apart , if only someone would notice that little bit of sadness lurking behind the facade they would realise that person needs help.

So after giving a little insight into my carp mental state and potentially bringing the thread down I'm gonna try and get some sleep, I'll probably be vey restless and grind my teeth as usual then wake up in the morning feeling like I've been up all night.
I feel a little better for 'saying' all that so hopefully will sleep a little easier.

Goodnight

I see quite a few regulars and even a lurker have already answered your post directly. My advice for what it's worth is go and see your gp - offload to them how you are feeling. They may refer you to the local resource network or as it is known in my area these days the community mental health team.
Please push to go see one of these people as they are bloody good. I have been through my own version of "hell" and I am happier today than I have been in many years. There is still a lot of stigma even today about such things. People may say "Im not bloody mad/mental ect" but being depressed and feeling low is in itself an illness.
My advice is to ignore the stigma/prejudices and go along and get yourself some help/therapy. It is a bit like talking to a good friend 1on1 and can be a good way to unload, followed by a more sessions of unloading until your therapist feels you are ready to start taking the "tiny steps" to your brighter happier future".
I honestly don't know where I would be today if I had not swallowed my own pride and ignored my own prejudices and gone along and got the help I so needed. Do I still get bad days ? Hell yes - difference is I know techniques on how to deal/cope with them now.
Even if all the above makes you want to run off in the opposite direction I want to end the post by saying take care of yourself and look after yourself. Please continue to post as you help more people than you realise.

can you tell us what you bought and what vouchers were used?

Oops, sorry, just seen your reply.
I just bought a handful of costa tassmios, fairy gel (the 24 wash one 888ml) and a few colmans gravy paste. I've been sent MOCs for all 3 through the post and I think I had a fairy one off SSM as well. These 3 items all compare to S then just chucked in fillers (naturally and llamas work well as fillers with the MOC as they compare N/A)
It's not a fantastic shop, was just full of the coffee that DH wanted and I paid with the helping hand MOC and the last of my old TPP printed vouchers

If you're buying pyrex they count as 2 of your 10.
The Pyrex purchase compares as N/A and then the coupon redemption compares as N/A too :j
