    Is anyone else on Orange being driven bats with texts? If so how do you make them stop?

    OH had 31 in total last week - this week could be worse, already 4 came in this morning :mad:

    We have 2 linked accounts but the joint bill goes through in Ohs name as it was the original account. H gets the orange texts and I just get odd ones from EE.

    I've just started sending them messages through Twitter - it's very good for internationally shaming badly behaved companies. They have passed me along to @orangeuk so I've sent them the same messages. I've told them they are now our magic number as we get more orange texts than any other :D

    Just got a email from the post office

    We’re changing to meet the needs of our customers.

    We’re now open earlier, and later, and on Sundays

    now open from 06:00 to 22:00 on Sundays


    never thought this would happen.



    This has been happening where the PO has relocated to a shop, the PO is now open shop hours. As previously said it is very convenient............ BUT the collection times have not changed. You can drop the mail off, but it goes nowhere until collection time.

    Also worthy of note is that the PO staff are now being paid shop rates rather than the salary they had before (although some will be on protected salary for a while). A lot of unhappy counter staff out there.

    Hopefully sorted now, all the texts were about magic numbers so he has put everyone now as a magic number. This will probably mean that he uses none of his allocated minutes. And the orange texts will stop with luck.

    A quick question for you all.

    I made some Rocky Road a few days ago with some leftover Easter Egg chocolate, marshmallows, honey, butter, digestive biscuits, almonds, hazelnuts, sultanas and glace cherries. Tastes delicious.

    :D

    Can you freeze them? I've cut mine into individual portions. Looked on the internet and most people are referencing Nigella's recipe which isn't quite the same as mine.

    Any ideas form the Elite?
