    Don't resite the shed. Its likely to damage shed IMO. Gravel around shed should do it it you want to do that, and you could do that.

    Clearing out? Bring or send pictures.

    I have always wondered if the slabs it sits on are just round the edges, or a solid rectangle.... but I've never dared look (by taking a photograph under the foundation struts)..... you can't unsee things.

    I'll take a video on my camera, walking all the way round and giving a good look at what's around/behind/at the side.... but not under.....

    This evening I have been texting utter randomness to a man withthe same first name as my husband. I was mucking around. He ignored me until I demanded that he talk to me :rotfl:

    Hmm, not likely, but he might make you work harder for each reduction each week, Waitrose sounds better and better.

    But tbh, I would also let cs know you feel uncomfortable. Its not right that you should feel uncomfortable. And its not as if you are particularly touchy.

    It sounds pathetic though. And they would probably think that I think he fancies me or something. And I don't have any witnesses. That's why I'd prefer a direct confrontation if anything. I think if I complained, I would have to not go there for a while anyway.

    It's a shame because it really is the most convenient supermarket on a school day. And I should be spending my money there as I'm a shareholder (of a very very small number of shares).

    ... and the punchline was: "And you can give her a reduced portion too can't you!"

    You guys do make me giggle :)

    Thank you for making me feel better.

    I wish real life was how you seem to paint it with guys being unable to resist me. It's very definitely not. Especially not on the way home from work with a basket of out of date food!

    Speak to a manager not customer services.
    Direct confrontation is not fair, its like saying a direct confrontation between a lion...( you) and a wilderbeast and its crony( him and fellow sniggerer) is equal. His manager is there to protect him as much as you in this situation.
    You should be able to go there with ease afterward, if not complaint has not been handled satisfactorily and as a customer ( and a shareholder;) ) you put this in writing.

    RP loves writing complaints, you can get RP to write the letter.

    Speak to a manager not customer services.

    That all sounds like a very grown up way of handling things.

    Rather than a) avoiding the place altogether or b) trying to sneak in unnoticed.

    Today it was the most obvious it's been. I'll give everyone the benefit of the doubt that I was imagining things. If there is a next time I'll ask to speak to a manager.

    Congrats on Generalissimo singing in such an amazing looking place, glad he enjoyed it. Sometimes these occasions can be a bit overwhelming when they're young(ish).

    Very glad indeed to hear that you're feeling well enough to go back to the gym. :j :beer: Just try to not overdo it - slow and steady! ;) Soak in a nice hot bath (or do they have jacuzzi at gym?) for the muscle pain. I'm sure you'll get back to peak fitness fast! :)

    To catch up with my news...

    Car passed MOT fine, and we've been in touch with Motability and it's OK

    The gym is a work one is pretty spartan. $10 a week paid out of pre-tax income though so that'll do me!

    Good news about the car.

    If I'd known then what I know now picking up yellow sticker food would definitely have been much higher on my 'she's a keeper' list :)

    Losing will to live having entered identical details on applications for 3 DK passports, including mine and DWs passport numbers plus all the other info from our passports - hello? they are the passport office, they know all the other info just from the number. Is someone now going to scan/type in all the info that they already have? Also paid through the nose for the privilege :(

    On the btl, the buyers who weren't in the summer have now come back 6 weeks later and said they will pay our 'acceptable reduction' price. 30% chance of it going through imho.
    I think....

    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
