    Mostly sorted with the bank.....I think. Just got to wait on the fraud dept. to do their stuff.

    I'm off on school run then shopping now.

    Have pegged OH out on the washing line until I get back, he can't cause any havoc that way ;):D :rotfl:

    1 x Pot Noodle Sticky Rib (90g)£0.75£1.00

    These are 3 for £2.50 in A at the moment, and, due to that, they didn't make it to the M list (almost reads like a :p but I don't mean it like that:p:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:). Think it should be 18 pack Tvs A? Watch out for the mbuy on the 9s though in case it ends, as it is Wednesday and maybe then compare three from £1 vs £1 each:D:rotfl:.

    Other items not making it to the M list include Blue Dragon sauces pouches at (49pvs) 50p (were considered good at the beginning of my M lists but not any longer), and various Sardines tins (own brand) on 2 for 80p. M Savers version is 34p for one, and therefore the mbuy on the others not as good a price.

    I'm sure there are other items I'll remember at some stage that aren't making it onto the list. Oh... the fresh soups - some own brand ones and certain ones of the "Glorious!" - butternut squash for example - as vs 99p on 600g soups not now being considered very good (I may have a rethink on this one if several different people request on here that I do so).

    Bye for now...see you later, maybe with a few more!:D:rotfl::wave:

    Can I ask a question??

    I'm not at all IT literate, can just about turn the laptop on and do day to day things. Don't bank online and post here on my phone

    can these viruses get on to your laptop if its not on??

    That sounds like a really stupid question now I've written it:rotfl:

    Do you physically have to click on some sort of link etc to activate a virus etc?

    Thankyou, all help appreciated

    EEEE.....banks! Why can't just one person deal with all the stuff at once? On hold to 'The disputes team' now........

    What is the name of that software that detects viruses on PCs? I've seen it mentioned on here before? I'd better run something on his computer as well

    I would run a full scan with zone alarm as well

    its a very good AV program :)

    Flying visit.......

    BIG WARNING

    Reminder to folks NOT to click on any messages that pop up on FB (or anywhere else) that claim to be updating your security details.

    My idiot of a Husband did this over the weekend :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: and has just told me that his bank account is being emptied, to the tune of £900 odd so far :eek: :( :eek::(:eek::(.

    He's in bits about it. Ive emptied all the money out of his accounts into mine, and I've been on with the bank to get all his cards stopped and accounts frozen. Ive just got to start on the process of getting the money back through the banks fraud dept.

    PLEASE PLEASE BE CARFUL EVERYONE!

    PLONKER :mad:


    Oh dear isn t it a pest all this thieving going around on the internet. Almost every day I get spoof emails asking for my details for PayPal but I just send them to spoof@paypal.com and they usually reply with thanks it was an attempt to con you or words to that effect .

    Woman gets on the bus with her cat in a carry box.

    She puts said box with cat on the seat, with the door facing the wall of the bus.

    Cat is clearly terrified and is meowing like mad. She tells it "shush" every now and again.

    It let out one meow and she whacked the side of the box and told it to shut up :mad: :mad:

    QoC cant keep her gob shut any longer and tells lady to put the cat box on her lap and put her hand by the door so it can smell her and get a little bit of comfort and familiarity.

    She tells me it will get worse if it is on her lap. In return I tell her it couldnt possibly be any worse than where it was already. I said again that it was clearly terrified and needed whatever comfort she could give it.

    She did as I suggested and guess what?! The cat was tons calmer

    If anyone had done that with my cat they'd have my shoe buried in their heads :mad: :mad: :mad:

    I've given up with sky and sent them an email.

    6 hrs 15 mins over 2 days is quite long enough.

    That's put me right off even thinking of getting Sky (were we in a position to afford it). Don't these companies realise that, given the impact of social media and sites like mse, it's not just their current customers they annoy and alienate when their post sales service is so poor?

    Does anyone have any experience of Virgin post sales service?
