Sal and Savvybuyer's Sensational Seasonal Summer Sunny 11+ ELITE Thread

TrulyMadly

I know I missed out on some good fun on the nightshift last night. Do I go back and read it or should I eat?

Tough

Savvybuyer

Next one - not entering it today as they bought Robinsons (on mbuy:() and thinking it's too soon for it to pick up 74p for M if entered now. So, onto this rag-bag instead:

Why do they go and buy the Blue Riband (was 77p T) together with the Pepsi (loses out a great deal vs T)?

Why £0.05?

Sparkling Water with Still Water has failed to pick up 2 for £2.50 mix and match mbuy at M:(. (There's no reason why it did that, just an error on their part I think.) Would have meant 1p voucher vs M (assuming they got everything else correct - I have not checked), although big big 5p voucher on this (not:(:() is returned vs Waities:rotfl:. It's doubtless because W stocks little comparable to what they bought and therefore doesn't give them as much chance of comparing what they bought vs many items higher priced in W. This is the way it has to work to rescue things with these muggles sometimes:(. Not rescued enough here - so moving on... actually that's it (bar the Robinsons receipt itself now quarantined:rotfl:, for what it's worth).

Thanks for all the replies to my problem, you’ve all been so helpful to me when I rarely contribute to posts about others problems. I must admit that due to time issues I often skim over posts that are not shopping or deal related but sometimes I read them and don’t contribute because I’m not very good at offering comforting words Please be assured that this doesn’t mean I don’t care though, just that I’m unsure of what to say

I managed to persuade my boss today to allow me to work 9 - 2:30 with a half hour lunch and he eventually agreed to this. He asked me why I sent him an email about being stressed and when I tried to explain that I struggle with the constant interruptions he was dismissive and said that in any job there will be interruptions and I cannot expect to just be left alone to get on with my work and I need to just deal with it.

I still feel that I need to get out ASAP though because I really don’t trust him now. It’s no use me trying to follow grievance procedures because there are none. Nothing in that place is done as it should be and the boss cares for no one but himself, not even his own family judging by some of the things he’s said about them. He’s a nasty piece of work I'll keep looking even harder now for another job.

For those who were wondering my original job was Administrator but it’s now been changed to Personal Assistant. I know a PA is generally a better job than an administrator but when the person being assisted is this horrible man, believe me administrator is preferable

I've missed your original post but start looking for something else.. always easier to change jobs when you are already employed. I'm a PA but my boss is ok (mainly cos he's out of the office most of the time:D). However, work that gets you down can be terrible. Best of luck, you've made a mental step forward now so onwards and upwards
