    Finally made it to IKEA for dinner :j
    We managed to park in a parent and child space but 3 of them are taken up by hire vans who I suspect are the contractors cleaning the windows :mad:
    Is it worth me taking photos? Should I complain and who do I complain to?
    Am really annoyed as theres only 10 of these spaces and theyre using 3 of them :mad:

    If I was one of his family I don't think I would like some flowers spelling MAD tbh. Means one thing on mse and another in real life. But obv up to those who have contributed to decide;)

    I agree. If you are going to send flowers say MSE as that is what hr was. And personally I would donate all the money to the hospice. Flowers are nice but wont last long. How about a bench yo the hospice donated in the name of Fred aka MadMuppet or just to Fred from your MSE friends? That would a permanent reminder and the rest of the money to tje hospice.
  • Quick question please,
    First time I have used clicksnap, how long does it usually take for online purchases to track? I.e. I ordered San mig last night for c&c today but its still not showing on my activity, would this be right?

    The trick in T is to ask if you can exchange but make sure you have a small balance to pay (£1/£2 cash)

    They then give you a new receipt which you later use to return for full cash refund ;)

    I have bought my wife so many clothes that don't fit its a wonder she doesn't have a complex :whistle:

    Note: i ONCE had the SA write "no receipt" on the exchanged receipt. So i just had to exchange without receipt one more tome and all worked as planned

    I ONCE had an SA refuse refund because i didn't have both the original and exchange receipt. I said i didn't get it from the previous SA (a half truth :rotfl:). Quick call to HO later and i got a giftcard as an apology and my store were instructed that an exchange receipt is all that is require


    yes fuzzgun19 this is what i would do and auu1 has explained it so well ;)
