Although, I have to admit to having a grumpy wife as 186 bags of cat biscuits aren't that easy to store!!:doh:

OK, I have something to air.....

Whilst I understand this pales into insignificance in relation to problems others are having, I've plucked up the courage to message a friend of mine about something.

I am hugely scared of confrontation (with people that matter to me, I have no problem doing it with SAs for example ) but we've been friends for 12 years, I've known her kids since they were born (the first one 10.5 years ago) but I've not seen them since Feb last year, she only lives down the road (well a few miles away) and transport isn't an issue, yet every school holiday she's posted about meeting up with friends, all over facebook, having a whale of a time, and I've been sitting wondering when I'm going to get a look-in. I've even now hidden her from my news feed as I feel so upset over it.

She promised me we'd meet during this holiday but she hasn't even acknowledged that we were meant to, let alone apologised for not meeting up. The hols are over in 5 days and there's no chance now, she always plans 2 weeks in advance.

I know she's busy and I realise sometimes that friends with kids want to meet up without their kids, but we've done that twice, I want to see her AND the kids, am I being unreasonable?

I'm beginning to think there's something she's not telling me, so I've messaged her, nicely but straight to the point, asking if there's an issue, and now I'm bricking it. I was in tears about it earlier and have been several times in the last couple of months.

Thanks for listening

I bought one or two:cool:

Anyone had a dispatch yet?:)

Sorry TM, just realised that I posted that as if they had been delivered, when they haven't, yet.

The cash has come out of my account to MedicAnimal.com and my wife is indeed grumpy at the prospect of storing so many bags on top of all the other things I have got over the last couple of months..;)

The website suggests that orders over 1kg should be delivered within 4 days, so I will give them a ring if I haven't heard anything by the start of next week.

Happy New year to you all. Your advice and suggestions have been great, and at times a lot of fun, frustrating at others. Things I have missed I could kick myself, but so many more things I would never have known about without you all. So once again a big THANK YOU and all the best for the new year. :j:j:j:j:j:j

Scamps I'm sorry to hear what happened, if the car is yours and she's run off with it, she has stolen it, so I would report it as such and get it back sharpish. I would also report her for stealing your money but that's just my opinion More as a tactical thing than to actually charge her, people tend to quickly realise the seriousness of things like this once the police get involved.

I hope things sort themselves out for you very quickly, meanwhile you always have friends on here xxx[/QUOTE

I doubt that Scamps could get anywhere with reporting the cow for stealing his money - if it was in a joint account surely it will be deemed as 'theirs' and either party would have free access to any/all of the funds. The police would probably not be interested. The car is another matter though and, if she's taken it without Scamps consent, she may not even be insured and be driving illegally.

Might sound a little harsh, but I don't mean it to....but have you tried contacting her to arrange something rather than waiting for her to contact you? It's just my mum always says this type of thing with her friends, but she just waits for them to contact her rather than taking the initiative

And no, I don't think you're being unreasonable, we all want to keep in touch with friends and their families-hope you get the response you want

Such a small world , 'I like piggy in the middle' :rotfl::rotfl:

Savvybuyer

It'll be great once my phone "service" is sorted out. In the meantime, hampered by a go-slow computer as well as falling off the internet (seems to fall off when I click to go onto the net, as soon as I then shut the screens down, it's back on again:mad:).
So I've decided my next shop (we do need to do some shopping as out of some stuff)
is going to be Avs M tomorrow night, to get us through to the weekend - thank goodness M isn't fully online yet!
I'm trying to look around and update myself as to what's Avs T and what's now Avs S, but only able to reach page four of the T Savvy Buys, then it kicked me off. As for vs S, I saw most of them, although it would, again, be useful if I could do my shopping properly. May have to
make the phone company aware that, if it turns out to be their fault, all the consequential loss such as the money I'm losing on not being able to find glitches.

I've noticed the following are Avs S (check msm/msl as to exact versions required):
Patak's cooking sauces (87p S)
Weight Watchers 5 Slices
Nescafe Original coffee jar 300g £4 vs £4 (better than Avs M on the refill 150g)
Shredded Wheat 30
A Chestnuts 400g (does have a benefit being signed out on msm, I suppose, as they weren't showing price for Sains. when logged in earlier in the week, when checking, best as I could, for the M list)
The Activia 8 pack yogs are showing £1.50 for Sains, but £3 each in Mr A (is that really the price or is there an mbuy on? Unable to reach a.com at the moment to check - so can you do it for me? Though it'll probably kick me off and I won't be able to see the forum!)
I've not been able to check if the CBY Steak Slices are still vs S in 2s.
I'll remove the Nescafe original refill from the M list, once I manage, with the difficulty and being kicked in and out, to get to the place on this forum where it is. I also haven't been able to update my sig. - should now just say it is the "New" M list.

Versus T
Young's Flipper Dippers (original ones)
Natural Selection Dates 200g 50p vs N/A (think they're also Avs S)
Cherry or Butter Madeira Cake (although SP Madeira may be cheaper and can be a filler vs S, W or T. NB: M is probably twice as expensive! Although SP Madeira is more expensive compared to what it was three or four years ago)
It's been suggested Young's Basa Fillets with Herb and Tempura (2 pack), or something of that nature, can't check as writing this offline, which also explains the lack of smilies, is good for Avs T (also Avs S) at £2 T/S, but I'm not putting them onto any list (if I could) as were £1.88 for Morries v. recently. Instead, suggesting Bird's Eye 18 Chicken Nuggets vs T? (Do A even stock them, not able to check even that as just seen T's price on the Savvy Buys page!) Or maybe even SP Chicken Nuggets Avs T (but couldn't check T's price (or even A's for that matter) although suspect it is unchanged and the stores still the same - rather than A 10% cheaper!:rotfl:)
You'll have to check this one - and whether it is worth it - Walkers 20 Meaty Variety Crisps showing £3 for T, but when I clicked to look at that, I did see A N/A (on the T side of msm). Could not log in to see if any different. Are they on mbuy mix and match in A, with the Classic Variety, and is the Meaty version missing for A but the Classic one showing both A and T? No idea, as unable to check a.com and msm in and out but you know where my thoughts are leading...
Perhaps for S BM as a filler - Duracell 12 pack AA batteries at £4.99. But own brand ones in Aldi much cheaper. And why have to use nearly £5 items just in order to reach the £20 figure?
Right, once this lets me access the internet, I'll post this straight onto the forum and then goodnight!!:wave::wave:

(Only able to use smilies whose phonetic(?) representation I can remember, as unable to get that far:rotfl:)
Once that phone line is back up, I'll be able to put A, T, S, M and W on from the comfort of my home! Just noting that Curly Kale isn't avail for Avs W yet (well, it is available, but at a higher price than the one compared to earlier) - so that's sort of made up my mind. Avs M tomorrow and Avs S and/or Avs T at the weekend (if I can ever get online without drop-offs that make it two hours to finalise a list!:mad:).
Oh, I should have mentioned earlier (would have mentioned earlier if I could have done) - I gave it a bit of thought earlier and decided next M price memorisation probably due Monday next week (or Wednesday next week). This Friday's collection (as I think that's when it will be - again, can't go and check!:rotfl:) will likely be much the same as the one done earlier in the week (on Monday, the current one). So Monday next week (or possibly the Wednesday, when a couple or more new items may go on) probably takes us to covering up to 10th January, which is when M's website prices appear to start. We'll have to see whether it's then future prices on there or if they reflect current instore ones (the current instore ones perhaps still being the ones appearing on the APG, until, at some stage, maybe the APG prices for M will be done online). PS: I'm not tidying this up if it posts incorrectly!(!!)
:wave:

Don't think you had any choice in saying something to her really - you need to know if there is something bothering her. Hope you get an answer instead of her leaving you wondering
