    No idea



    I am not counting on it but it seems people are a bit closer to getting it.:D
    This is going to cost some firm a lot of money :eek:.
    I still dont get why before companies run an offer they dont look at it and say how can we be done :D
    I even do that when I am looking to buy something from ebay :cool:
    I read the description carefully and also their choice of words can it be taken any other way. Never mind if I was about to throw £25 x 10,000, 20,000 or even more who knows if it was on 10 ways :eek:

    Fingers and toes crossed all round then! I didn't send a complaint, didn't get chance last night, but it seems everyone else's has been enough! The email reads like it's from the Times people, not TCB, which is interesting. I wouldn't have liked to have been on the wrong end of that phone call :eek:

    The second shop also compares exactly the same with Waities. If I had more sense I would have spotted this before going out and mixed my shops together and bought less fillers.:o

    The raisin bakes give a particularly good return! :D

    Just spotted, I also bought Smart Price mayo , squeezy bottle at 40p on the raisin bake shop, it does not appear on APG so don't use as a filler!

    Now where do I put them all?
    :) Learn from the past, enjoy and appreciate the present and work to make your future the best it can possibly be :)

    And get lots of glitches!

    i know it's mental isn't it? makes you wonder if the parents even watch their kids at all :eek:
    not offended hun ;) i was nearly 19 when i had DS1 & my mum was nearly 20 when she had me :) my youngest brother is only 4 years older than my eldest so they were really close when they were younger :)

    Its crazy insane

    Thats gonna be a 27 year old who now isnt going to work for at least another 5 years while she looks after the kid while the mum finishes school.

    I seriously cannot believe that they think its ok. She cant even claim benefits til she turns 16

    No idea I have enough laundry gear to open a shop. It only works c/c or HD if I am reading it right and I think ours comes from Sto or BA.
    I can go and have a look for you once Ive had a coffee if you want

    I have just rang Portrack and it's £6.98 so it won't work from this store sadly. X
    We're just happy to have a home, a family and our health. Whatever else is just added and it fits. :)

    Hi Shirley did you pay £3 for the two boxes?
    Thankyou:)
    I was looking at that earlier.. cos if it's mix and matchy 2 for £3, you could have NG's and Special K in the same shop AvT :D

    I don't know but suspect that it is a Times/Affiliate marketing company gaffe not TCB. TCB only (generally) advertise terms and conditions stated on the affiliate marketing feed that they pull through. If there were no t and cs when the feed came through, they ran with it. Affiliate marketing spotted a spike in applications and sent through the revised t and CS plus asked TCB to correct the misunderstanding. Found out the significant spike in negative publicity changing t and cs after people signed up and The Times intervened today at a senior level. Cost them X thousands but reputation restored worth much more in the scheme of things.

    Someone is likely for it though ...
