    'Schadenfreude' - there should be an English equivalent.:D

    I don't want to worry you, SSM, but someone who enjoys schadenfreude probably has a[n] over-active basal ganglia:eek:

    So that's what it is?!?:D:rotfl: Many thanks - I'll go and check that one out:T. (:( from eveyone else's point of view as only giving Savvy something more to go and study now boringly in depth:rotfl:.) It's interesting and fascinating, that is.

    Good Evening :)

    My day:

    The Good

    I turned some of my reduced wood into new stash shelves. Cost £3ish :T:T:T

    The Bad

    A lad that DS2 used to go to primary school with, but that now goes to a different school, knocked on the door to ask DS2 how he was/did he want to play out.
    DS2 very bluntly told him that he was no longer part of his life and he didn't want to socialise with him :eek::eek:.
    I was also told quite bluntly that I couldn't tell him off because he wasn't mean, just honest. So that was me :silenced::silenced::silenced:
    .......Thing is, the lad just said ok and walked away :o


    The Ugly

    I have rampant hayfever today :( and I wasn't wearing waterproof mascara so I have panda eyes :rotfl:

    I haven't read back. Hope everyone is well

    Dear tom,

    I am very sorry for the cancellation of your order.

    The voucher used was created for a competition for one-person to win £40 to spend towards their trainers in the Great North Run and linked with CashforKids.

    This voucher was intended for a single use as the competition prize and was not available for usage by others. We certainly did not intend this one off voucher prize to be used by our entire customer base and did not make it available ourselves other than to the competition winner. As such I hope that you will understand that we cannot complete orders made using the incorrect application of the competition voucher code.

    You will be refunded within the next seven business days depending on your bank.

    We very much apologise for any inconvenience caused.

    ​David
    Commercial Director​

    So Tom:D
    You didnt get your order then:p

    Dear Trouty Boy,


    Thank you for shopping at decathlon.co.uk. The code used was only meant for a competition winner but we will allow this 1 time use as you only made 1 order and didn't take the piddle.
    All the other orders are in process of being cancelled because they took the piddle and made multiple orders.

    We are delighted to inform you that your order xxxxxx created on the 25/05/14 has been successfully confirmed and is now being dispatched.

    Your estimated delivery date is the 28/05/14

    You can follow your order status in your personal account "My account".

    We have sent a confirmation of dispatch email to your primary email address.

    Thank you for your loyalty and see you soon at decathlon.co.uk

    Yours sportingly,
    The Customer Loyalty Team


    He he he
    :T:T:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: even though it took 6 attempts before you removed the space from the code.:D
