    7.5 hours in work and I typed for less than 2.5 hours. Everything else was admin and phone calls...

    The management want to put their own admin figures in :eek: :eek: so not knowing what we do, they're going to make it up as they go along :mad:

    Par for the course in lots of jobs. :eek:

    Next womble, I spied some £2.97 crisps on the receipt so went to enter it straight away. I found they'd managed completely to wipe that out. Am I so unhappy with that 41p?:(:(:( That came courtesy of Sainsbobs:( - may be some useful items for Tvs A on here (probably not). Mbuy 'savings' are in bold. Double Choc cookies are vs M at 70p btw, but that's way too high-priced for me to countenance. Not happy with the Sweetcorn Cobettes being bought after T has put them up to rip-off prices once again:(. Certainly rip-off IMO compared to T's own immediately previous price. Oh - it's on to Sweetcorn 2 pack now - £1 in T. But I'm not buying them, because I dislike this very sort of tactic. (Besides they are 10p more expensive than the others were, via the APG, earlier, so still a rip-off compared to that:p.)

    Why £0.41?

    Someone that buys crisps at £2.97 then does a rest of the shop so badly that they lose the £2.07 difference on that.
