    Thanks Llovelies.

    Fourp & his brother are resigned to the fact that Mrs Fourp will die soon.
    She is just wasting away before their eyes :(

    He wishes it was sooner & quicker for her ♥

    Such a long drawn out ghastly time in all their lives

    Sorry if this sounds awful but its not meant to be hope both brothers are there with her when the time comes :(

    For my shop on Thursday, the staff had already taken down the Points signs, but shop went through OK. (Not that that helps anyone today:o)

    Points signs taken down in my store for biscuits (to be fair, they only had the sign up against two flavours the other day anyway!), points still added to the receipt (10000 M and 10500 More for 21 packs).

    Just hoping they haven't done a back system override so that it doesn't add the points - but as it is running "properly" according to their system then I suppose they would be hard pressed to withhold them? They could end their advertise 500 More points offer sooner than advertised (and get some potential flack from normal shoppers who don't bl know about the added bonus) as overriding the Match system would not be fair play? I would think taking down the signs is designed to not draw additional attention to it (worked in my store as fully stocked).

    I totally agree regarding mortgages. My son s 7 years into a 10 year fixed but fixed at 5.9 :eek: with a £5,000 fee for finishing early. I can see his point for staying with them till the end of it but I can t help thinking he could get another deal cheaper even with this £5,000 penalty. I don't know for sure though.:o

    A few years ago we were one year into a five year fix at 6.99% when the rate plummeted one year after moving - i ran the figures and paid a hefty exit penalty (£2k iirc) but it still worked out much cheaper even in the first year :cool:. I switched to First Direct Offset base rate tracker and haven't looked back - saved a fortune. There are a number of online calculators where you can compare rates including exit fees etc.

    I have just sent a complaint off to Air Wick :mad:

    I am testing their life scents range for bzz and have spent over 2 hours since yesterday trying to unscrew the 2 liquid bottles :mad:

    I have eventually managed it thanks to the wonderful Snap who ages ago sent me a parcel and it had a 1p nutcracker in the parcel ;) among other things.

    I went into kitchen looking for something after my hand , tea towel , rubber jar twisting thingy and plenty :mad: at the bottles didn't work.

    I found the nutcracker in messy drawer and :j:j:j bottles are now unscrewed and plug in thingie plugged in bedroom :) No where to plug in living room. The sockets are in daft places.

    Got blisters on 2 fingers and thumb on right hand with struggling.

    I bet most folks that read about the deal will be put off by the lack of signage. The same folk that don't try to buy a 1p item because the SEL says £1

    At 14.25 my receipt was showing expected points, but on app they are not added... Hopefully, they haven't stopped the points festival :)
