Who owns up to saying it in an Elvis voice :rotfl: I did

I didn't, but I focussed on the words and didn't see the picture until now.
Dipping in and off of the internet, so may vanish at any minute (could get frustrating, so I'll go soon!).

I did have "Elvis Lives In The Ether" as one of my thought-titles, but that was both cryptic and seemed to bear no resemblance to the thread contents!

Ah but I remembered it was Duracell chargers and batteries that were going for £1 without even writing it down.

I posted because as most will know I have had my own problems. When I did I had absolutely no one to talk to. I have no family and not a lot of friends, I couldn't hardly get out of the house for a while.....totally Isolated. The people, the chat and just having some sort of contact with other people was everything to me.

Thankfully my situation has improved somewhat, but I have never forgotten what that meant to me and I have made some true friends from it in real life. It makes me stop and think when someone posts with a problem, that we might be the only people they have to talk to

I agree, and it can be scary when someone needs support and it is not there.

Ok, so here is possibly the most unpopular post of the day (apart from the one from Simonz that is..:p)

I have discussed Scamps' situation with my DW and the results are as follows..

EITHER

Scamps is married to the most evil cow who ever lived

OR

He has done something very wrong and she wants to get back at him big time!!

My dw's reckoning is that if she and I split up, we would split things 50:50. If I had an affair, she would try to P me off as much as poss and take me for every penny, just like Scamp's ex has.

So, you decide. Evil bit*h from hell or scorned wife?

Regardless, I feel for Scamps, however, I think there is more to this than meets the eye!!

Sorry Scamps, if she is the wicked witch of the north, I apologise. However, at the moment I am inclined to think as my wife does, that you have done something wrong and your soon to be ex wife wants to punish you for it.

I do not condone what she has done, however, without her side of the story, it is very hard to judge.

No worries on your thoughts. A little back ground.

My wife comes from a very small family, her twin sister, parents, 2 nieces and her son. Her mother is very controlling and if anybody disagrees with her she'll shun them. We had 6 years of total bliss from 2004 to 2010 when my wife didn't speak to her parents. Before we met, my wife was married to a very successful buildings designer and her mother was happy with this as she's very money orientated. I'm a normal worker and grafter to which she dissapproved highly!! (she refused to come to our wedding, in fact it was over a year until I met her parents!)
Since she got back to talking to her parents, I was 'tollerated' although they never gave my wife a moments peace about us, picking up on anything that was wrong like lack of money, not doing a car boot, just about anything she could think of just to have a go.
I'm not alone in this. Her sisters husband has had the same treatment and it was he who finally snapped 3 months ago and walked out after 15 yrs of marriage. My wife and her sister have been 'controlled' all their lives so it was just a matter of time.
I know she still loves me as I do her, but events have taken their toll. She's been told what and when to do it, so I feel no malice towards her, just pity.
I know she'll regret that things have happened this way, but I know that with the support I have on here and with friends, I'll be OK, I just hope she will!!

Sorry if this has turned into a 'war and peace' epic, and I know I didn't have to divulge this information. But it's good to get it out.

Long live the Elite. XXX

P.S. I have never had an affair in my life.

Ok. You'd like my suitcase but I'm not posting a pic.:eek::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hope that they come out soon, for want of a better phrase. He/she would be welcome on here.:j

Evening all,

Have discovered a little H&M glitch. In the past it has been possible to combine the 2 codes (£5 off and free delivery - see codes thread - https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/64289797#Comment_64289797 , free del thread is advertised on h&m site) to get things very cheap, and this is working again. In the past, you needed to be a double click master to get this to work (and this still does work), however, I have found another, more legit way.

A few rules, firstly, the basket needs to be a minimum of £6 cost of the items you want. That is the minimum spend for the 2 offers to kick in. £5.99 wont work, tried it.

Secondly, you need to add this in Large to your basket-

http://www.hm.com/gb/product/22926?article=22926-B&variant=006

So add the jacket and then £6 of stuff you want (3 packs of knickers for £4+ indiviual knickers for £2 in the sale, tea towels etc.) Full price items tend to end in 99p, so unless it is £6.99 you need an extra item. Things like face masks - 99p and cotton buds £1.50 are handy extra items if you need to bump it up a little.

Go through to checkout and add your 2 codes in (£5 off and Free Delivery), and you will notice that the website gets confused, and that your order value is too low, BUT the item it cannot deliver is the £24.99 Jacket (may work with other items, this was the first I found). So it removes that item from your basket and only asks you to pay £1 (plus balance over £6, £1 is the smallest charge).

So you can get underwear, makeup, loads of sale items delivered for less than £2.

You can only use the codes once per account (well till that order has been processed) but you can set up more than one account per household (make sure different names, otherwise their computer gets confused, combines accounts and you get asked to email in ID to them before they dispatch items). IF you set up an new account with H&M be VERY VERY careful when you get to the checkout screen as the default payment option is to bill you for the order, not to charge a card. I believe this is a credit account, could incurr searches on credit file etc. etc.

BUT apart from that, loads of cheap stuff!

You can also make a larger order and then edit the order in the "pending"section on the website, but not sure how reliable that is to get the items delivered.

Hope not to complicated.

HTH

I like a little glitch on my new thread!:T

Oh - do not worry: the more complicated for me, the better!:rotfl::):D
