    So pleased to hear your OH is soft and lenored, and back where he belongs fc. :T

    I'm going to have to admit to TM that I have definitely not had a NSD, I got tempted by a few shiny prizes for 50p each in first As I went to.

    Tresemme Instant Refresh Dry shampoo 200ml

    Silvikrin Hairspray Natural Hold 250ml

    They also had 50p SEL for a Tresemme serum, none left and there was another dry shampoo, the radiance one for £1.25 that one was still £5 or 3 for £10 at the big store. :eek:

    The smaller store had quite a few hair bargains that were not available at the big store. Think someone said they make way for newer stuff so can't keep old stock on the shelves. :cool:

    yes I don't get bothered by dirt or anything like that. It's more germs in places. Like public toilets, door handles, trolley handles, GP surgery. I don't see the garden as being a place where germs spread ( just the opposite in fact!) I do have a reason I feel that way, too long a story for a late night, but it's people spread germs that I have a bit if a phobia about :o

    and chickens in toilets ! lol!

    The wife and I just went over our finances with a fine tooth comb and noticed our vodafone bill was higher than expected. Well it was actually very close to what our bill is usually but we SHOULD have been benefitting from a 20% discount and we thought it odd we wern't seeing the discount yet

    So we dug out all the contract paperwork detailing the discount and its timing, found all emails keeping us informed of status/timescales, signed up to view our online bills and what did we find......?

    A bloomin' £4.50 weekly charge from a bloomin' ringtone company in France that we never signed up to but have been paying for 2 months!!!!!!

    The best we can figure it out is my phone has a lot of free apps on it that are sponsored by advertising. We think my 2 year old has hit a banner on one of these apps whilst playing unsupervised on my phone and that evidently is enough to subscribe to the charges

    There is no recourse for us. The fault is mine for letting her play on the phone unsupervised, for ignoring the "reminder" texts I got that told me I was subscribed to the service (I thought if I replied "Stop" that this would in fact charge me and that the best thing to do was ignore) and for not checking my bills until now

    It seems to be a torch app called Flashlight that is at the root of this. The annoying thing is I don't even use the app because if I ever need a torch I just switch to video camera mode and put on the flash

    :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    On the plus side, we are getting the 20% discount we were expecting. We just couldn't see it because this subscription was cancelling it out

    Thanks tom I got a few too, SELs 25p in my store as well. ;)

    Hi, when I went mid afternoon the custard shelf was empty :( So I decided to pick up a few items-tomatoesx8, pastax6 etc. At the tills there was a sweet old boy that was happy to put the items and coupons in all together but when the pasta coupons did not scan he checked with the superviser that said for him to do separate transactions, therefore shopping all cancelled and each item and coupon used per transaction, luckily it wasnt busy and they were very helpful :):):)
