    I know good job I didn't get code before I went in to look it only lasts 15 minutes, not 60 like the de icer. Mr TS was not happy I came home with another can, apparently we still have 3 cans that the girls got possibly last year. :rotfl: Think you might have even given me one. :o

    But he did like the calendar I got, well it's an organiser, with wipe clean bit, pen and stickers. Chose the kitchen one with egg and toast soldiers on the front. :D
    Oh, they didn't have any calendars like that in the shop I went into icon9.gif. My dd gets home from hols on Sun & has O2 as well. Does anyone know how long the offer's on for please as those are the one's she likes. I can't access the info on my phone now.tia

    FC getting me to stay again. But, there we are. (Perhaps I'm not changing tone appropriately enough:think::think:, too harsh conflict coming straight after that? Um...I don't know. I'm concerning myself, probably unnecessarily, with whether or not my direction of posting is appropriate again. Anyway... be assured, I do think about the issue!:) Way too much!:eek::eek:(:rotfl:))

    Thanks everyone and goodnight!:)

    Someone needs to remind me not to take Mr TS shopping after a trip to the brewery. He was getting very agitated and disappeared off to the beer aisle with the basket. :eek:

    Found his way back to me plus 3 bottles of beer and a jar of pickled onions which he informed me were only a £1 the onions that is.

    After I paid noticed onions had scanned £2, he was adamant they had money off. So I said I would go back and check, he then says he will sit on the bench (inside the store) and open a bottle beer while he was waiting. :eek::eek:

    After saying I didn't think that was a good idea you have never seen me move so fast to check a price and get back to him. :rotfl:

    Onions were 79p off so £2 he got confused bless him thinking the 79p would come off the £2. And I was relieved to see he had decided against opening beer, had visions of him being carted off for vagrancy. :o

    :mad: Thought you were not going to say anything??

    Nor was I!:) ("Anyway, what's piped you up again Savvy?")

    Right, folks, that is it - I am off (the usual three failed attempts first again:D - and I'll let you be pedantic and count that just to check - it's a turn of phrase;);), not meaning it literally - I couldn't care less at the minute whether it was two or three occasions or otherwise...:rotfl:).

    Bye-bye!:D:wave:

    The deal on O2 says for a week (although lots of the deals finish early, once a set number have been obtained). Hope your DD gets one :)

    I've almost done my A/T cc list to get rid of my vouchers -I need to spend a few more £s and was thinking of some chocolates. I' ve searched but can't find anything very recent on the 3 for £10 offer - I need something against T's if anyone has a recent comparison please.

    The calendars were in 2 sections in my store. 1D, Olly Muirs, Doctor Who, Hobbit, Football teams were all on a whirly stand in middle of store.

    And then a huge selection of family organisers, and classic type of calendars ie. cats, dogs etc along one wall. Loads to choose from, oh and just remembered another whirly stand with pitcture scenes on. Definiltely something for everyone.

    No idea how long code is on for sorry.

    :mad: I have been writing my bzz ebay buying guide for over an hour and I am sure its impossible :o

    I press publish and it says
    There are a few errors in your guide. Please correct the fields highlighted in red.
    Guide length - Your guide should be a minimum of 200 words.

    I have been over and under 200 words and still get the same going to scream in a minute stupid ebay :mad:

    D'you think they'll give an allowance for people with Asperger's?:rotfl:

    However... I note...:idea: they merely say "should" not must! Therefore, although they say "should" be, it doesn't have to be! And they say it's a "guide" length. It's therefore a "guide", and not a rule:D:rotfl::rotfl:.

    Erm...I suspect people not being precise over their language again!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    :doh: Reading it wrongly! I thought it said "Maximum" not "Minimum" - so much for attentive to detail! I picked out on another detail instead!(:rotfl:) But..as ever, I now have all the other detail too (the fact it says [Strike]"maximum"[/Strike] EDIT: even "minimum":rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:)). In which case...do you think they'll be an allowance for non-Asperger's people? Should be easy for me to achieve:D:D:D:D:D:D:D.

    Now...the actual answer to the point raised by the OP in the post:
    Surely... over 200 words should be alright?!? So why are they being pedantic (or not! Actually, they're not...they're being inconsistent having said it was a "minimum" but now, apparently, enforcing it as an exact rather than a minimum...) and insisting on it being 200 words, no more and no less?

    Oops, I hadn't gone yet! But I will now...:D

    Goodnight!:):wave:
