    Hi there, hoping it's a weekend of dreams and glitches:D. Mr T has come up trumps for me - putting some good offers onto Avs T. Can't mention them in a list form right away. Way too much to do, as usual:(.

    First off, let's start with the rather irrelevant. My shop from last week where I wanted one of the Ski products to disappear as since gone OOS on a.com & msm. I'd also bought a cleaning mix and match and noticed the Fairy Olay is now on msm:eek: so, I've decided, after just about 8 days (maybe I was too soon as APG lagging behind sluggishly?:(:(), to enter the receipt.

    The Ski Lemon Cheesecake appears on the comp.:mad: I would never have compared on the other one against that price, so I'm not buying them ever again:p:p. The Olay was a no-show. I suppose not that bad as I only spent around £6 in the first place. But, really, way too much for me now:rotfl::rotfl:. What - do I want them paying me to take everything away or something?:D Do not copy this as this is from a shop done on 6th March and prices have changed on the Harpic since (now £1.99 in M:eek:). That pesky Ski Lemon Dessert annoying the comp., with the 8 different items around it ready and waiting for it to not appear:(:(.

    It really should be removed entirely from msm as it's OOS allowing me to buy it and another Ski and compare £1.68 vs 84p. I notice that the number of items in the offer when signed in (and the Lemon Dessert only ever showed for me signed in) has gone down from 11 to 10 on msm between now and my shop - although the Lemon Dessert is there, in the background, on the site showing as out of stock when searched for using more specific search terms. Maybe it would work now, as this may relate to the time my shop was done when it wasn't OOS for that long but has now been OOS for 7(+) days, the mbuy number has gone down by 1 but maybe that's a Friday night updating thing rather than indicative of anything good?

    DO NOT COPY - SHOPPING DATE WAS 6/3/14

    Tis true I'm afraid. I have the job from hell at the moment. I work for a local authority and they are so intent on saving cash that people are being made redundant left, right and centre and somehow the workers are expected to provide the same level of service with less bodies!

    I used to enjoy my job (I have worked for this local authority for 25 years), but now the pressures are too great and the rewards too non existent that sometimes I am a bit grumpy when I get home.

    Sooooo, if I come across as grumpy sometimes, I am really sorry and I really don't mean to. Sometimes the pressures I have at work spill out into my personal life and I take it out on others..:(

    Although, saying that, some people like Dotty and a whole load of other regulars who are too numerous to mention make me smile, always. Thanks guys..:D:D
    Oh bl00dy hell.. I am the same!! Have worked for 30 years (in May) 18 months ago (having been previously redeployed) I was 'told' "you will be managing another team, as well as your own"!! Given they've lost a post to enable them to get rid of somebody:eek:
    Well, says I.. 'what's in it for me?'
    ...you've got a job..........:eek::eek:

    Now, not able to cope with 2 jobs, off work due to stress(not all work related) and seriously contemplating retiring early. I need to work for 2 more years to pay off debt and to retire comfortably, but, as OH says, it is not worth your health.

    I agree, but need the b'ggers to take responsibility for what they are doing.. It may save a few quid in the short term by making people redundant, but what's left??

    I guess you've got it now, but I got my Liz Earle cleanse & polish thing today from my 'friend' and had to sign for it. They come from Ryde, IoW.

    Edit - mhoc you need to clear some space for your PMs.

    Ta, have cleared my PM now.

    My pm messages I tend to hang onto for nostalgia - I still have the ultimate spreadsheet from April 2011 :D

    Evening all. A well deserved drink after a busy week!

    I had a quick question for y'all- can you womble CC receipts where people have paid by card? I tried today and was refused as I couldn't present the payment card. Wondered if this is standard.

    Yup. I claim the points that "the missus" forgot to claim ;)

    Can I ask a question to those who bought netflix year subscriptions on eBay please. I have just done it after seeing people on here getting it but oh has just said he thinks it's not allowed ie fraud. He has got me worried now. What do others think. Tia
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.
