    Dipdab, I just told them that I always check my shoppings after I've brought it and that I only shop at t's (little white lie lol!) in good faith that I will receive the offers available elsewhere. Maybe lay low for a while & they will forget. They do btw as they have SO many complaints! Also don't stress about it as they were the ones not programming their system correctly x

    DH is telling me to stop fretting too (I can't help it, stupid anxiety!!).
    I did point out to them the coke's been on offer at As for 3 weeks (started about the 14th) as I price checked it last week on a TPP then and it was comparing correctly.
    Unfortunately I don't remember exactly what I said on the phone, I think I've just got myself worked up into a tizz thinking they'll keep a tape of my phonecall attached to a picture of my clubcard so they can throw darts at it :D
    Thanx for replying hun, I think you're right and I'll probably lay low for a while, now where's these APG glitches..... :D

    I'm quite liking the new till spit pp!!:T:T

    I have never bothered with these meal deals but I now have a buyer for the wine (£3 a bottle) so when I buy the 6 meal deals with as many finest coupons as I can get away with with the 25% off 6 bottles and the £10 pp it makes a few cheap meals :)

    SD I'm so glad we've been able to help you in a small way. I think as some of us can talk openly about bereavement, it's made it easier for the conversation to develop. This is because because we've experienced it first hand. It's shocking but it doesn't surprise me, I felt guilty and ashamed when my mum died because a work colleagues father had died months earlier and I didn't know what to say so I avoided the subject.

    It's true that our society is unable to openly talk about death. I googled peoples reactions to death and found this article on the Cruse website, what struck me was Nick Clarke's widow saying that "Neighbours have crossed the street in avoidance; friends have been unable to say Nick’s name; people who worshipped alongside her at church have melted away, and parents at her children’s school have expressed awkwardness in finding words."

    Sorry if I'm not putting this very well, or if I've touched a sore point with anyone, but I'm so glad we've been able to help you a little bit. Bless you and your ds, you're both had to cope with such a loss, and you're both amazing.

    This happens all too often, my neighbour lost her hubbie the year before i lost mine and I explained to her that DS may talk about him a lot as we'd spent so much time with him but she was happy that someone would talk so fondly of him.
    When we first moved in DS (then 4yrs old) made a point of letting him know the names of the birds in the garden and that started off a great friendship between them, they shared their love of birds and he showed DS the different feathers of the birds that he sourced for the restaurant trade. They enjoyed their time together but his wife didn't realise how much time they'd spent together and how much he was missed by us all.

    We had a good heart to heart after DH died and she explained how so many friends and family just disappeared because they didn't know what to say. She was glad she had us and a few other neighbours to help her
    It is hard when you see people you know walk past as if they haven't seen you, it's hard when everyone flinches when we mention DH's name and talk so openly about him but he is still a major part of our lives, everything we do reminds us of him and if he would like it or do it the same way or not. Not a day goes past that we don't mention him in some way or other or something reminds us of him.
    I have had people say we shouldn't mention him so much but to me that's like pretending he's not important anymore. I have had people be nasty about DS talking about him and that made DS feel bad, I told them to eff off and told DS if they don't like what he says that's their problem but these are the people with a load of guilt on their minds and don't like being reminded of him.
