    I believe MSE have the ip address of every message posted.
    Only just slowly catching up and saw nothing last night.

    Cyber bullying is a criminal offence. Facebook is starting to crackdown on it an so should MSE.

    FC I was published in a newspaper many years ago in an article about choice. It was about that I was bringing up my children to understand that everybody has the right to choose how they live their lives. Whatever money we earn we have the right to spend as we deem suitable. My children understood I worked hard to gain more choice in the decisions that had to be made.
    If I was to go over to the benefits board they would have a field day about the car I choose to drive but it is my choice.
    Both my mother and father are one of 4 children and all educated privately.

    You are a wonderful wife and mother and I for one am very proud of your husband. You work hard to help the charities close to your heart and improve the help given to servicemen and women who suffer in such life shattering ways.

    Whenever you post about fishing or your cod freezer I feel a tingle of happiness because it means your oh has battled his demons for another day.

    Here collectively we come together because we choose to learn more about money saving. The leaves may be coming off the branches at the moment but it is our tree that keeps us together.

    ((hugs))

    Thanks VT that is a lovely message, as have all the others that people have posted. I don't want to clog up the thread replying to every one and giving whoever posted the stuff last night attention that they don't deserve.

    I will just say that I really don't care what people think of me or my family. I've said before that everyone has an opinion and I don't mind. Im glad a lot of people didn't see the message because those that did see it will know that reference to how much money I have or haven't got was the nicest part of it :( What was said about my husband was truly vile and using my Son's name was a step too far.

    I wasn't going to say anything about this but I've changed my mind. I've had a lot of messages pointing fingers and suggesting who the poster might be. The same name has come up in every one. I don't personally believe the person being blamed is responsible. I do think that whoever was responsible wants that person to be blamed, however. Either way Im not interested in rumour and speculation. I don't believe in blaming people without proof or evidence. I suggest if anyone has any, they forward it to the forum team. I've learned in my time on here that things aren't always as clear cut as they would appear to be.

    Im a peaceful person. I don't want revenge, vendettas or any sort of witch hunts over what was said. Not on my behalf. I can only hope that someone woke up feeling awful this morning. I know I did!

    thanks everyone for the nice comments yesterday re Elvis,
    the day got slightly worse when late afternoon the chickens where going mad I went out and the hawk was in out silkie pen:eek::eek: it was on a hen so i picked up the nearest thing what was a piece of lead and throw at it :o:o:o it went to far end of pen and I was able to open door and grab the 5 of the chickens and put them in their shed but the one it was on run between my legs and into the hedge. ds3 turned up from school and went on a search for blackie but we could not find her, ds2 friend who has hawks managed to find the owner apparently it escaped before and he caught it for them . and his wife came to collect it. it was a Harris hawk called Anita, and had been missing for 3 weeks
    the owner came round this morning to apologise and gave us £40 it was a nice gesture but did not make up for loosing pets,
    then late this afternoon blackie turned up :j so at least that was a nice end to a bad situation..:)
    just seen what happened to poor elvis :eek::( glad the hawk has been caught now so the rest of your pets are safe xx
    :beer: Happy Bargain Hunting!! :beer:

    :hello:

    Vs Morrisons
    Bernard Matthews Turkey Dinosaurs are 'safe' once again, until the update probably on Tuesday morning. You may ask why I bought these again, after being caught out last time by them comparing to M at full price - so bad, the comp. flipped and went vs T. People like myself supposedly do things in the same way, fail, do them again in the same way, fail, and don't intuitively know or don't learn - we supposedly (this is stereotyping) don't think alternative solutions if the way of doing something didn't work but keep trying the same 'solution', which doesn't work as it never worked before - and going back round in circles - back to start, what's the answer?, answer A, didn't work, back to start, what's the answer?, A, doesn't work, return to start etc. etc. - yet we also think 'outside of the box' and are capable of 'blue-sky thinking' I'd say far more than the average person (that mythical creature again:D:laugh:) but... anyway. I knew it was a risk, with it having failed before, but fortunately they have now been corrected to the £1 M price.

    That's a good list... I've not been keeping up :o
    Do you need glamour mag for the nails inc polish and b.shop voucher?

    That's on my list:)

    Does anyone who regularly purchases nails inc...know if you can tell the bottles are freebies?
    Is there any difference? I was thinking of getting them for my niece for a stocking filler,,
    Thanks

    Lol when I was getting off the train after Shrewsbury the woman in front of me had exactly the same nail varnish on as me and I said Oh same colour nail varnish and she said Nails Inc and I said yes that's right did you get the freebie off the Glamour magazine and she said no it was with a manicure :eek: lol

    Nice weather in Shrewsbury could have done with longer there though. Spent far too much time in the QVC shop. Managed to spill a full cup of hot chocolate in Mc Donald's lol as I was paying, burned my leg a bit and all over the counter and floor. Girl was very nice when I apologised and got me another drink. Clumsy Susie.

    There was a woman standing outside the body shop there giving out these cards that are in the Glamour mag so I got two, one for me and one for Dawn. :)

    I am not sure that it was a glitch as it was £1.75 RTC on the SEL in my store? Sorry it is over though - fortunately I bought "a few" to keep us going for a few months.

    Anon

    No label at my store.

    Either way a great price on cheese @ £3.18/kg.
