    Morning PD, yep TCB "down for maintainance" so it says. I was going to ask a TCB question...It says I have £13 odd payable but when I click payout it says £7.90. Do they normally take fees? TIA

    Edit: Just seen the fees on my profile - £6.87 :( Obviously means site working again now :rotfl:

    do you do a lot of online shops using TCB - if not then it might be worth asking them about downgrading to an account without fees

    you know you are right - even with the extra bit for "signed for" myhermes would have been so much cheaper - and she knows how good they deliver things as I sent her a box on a Saturday afternoon and it arrived on Monday morning.

    I think she has used special deliver - signed for before one :eek:

    actually if she really thought laterally all she would have needed to do was to go to Euston, find one of OHs train company trains and given the packet to one of the train conductors with instructions to drop it off at OHs office or give it to the platform staff at our station to drop off at the office - now that would really have been fabulous :)

    Yes, both our cats try and break doors down to get in - Treacle has been broken into the boys bedroom - I found the door wide open and he was curled up on a pillow - swiftly booted out again - cats are barred from guest bedrooms :D

    Our kitty hasnt learned to knock on the dorr yet, he jumps onto the windowsil and looks pitifully through the winsow while quietly miaowing, not good when the curtains are shut :o He did make a bit of a racket the other day when he was out all night and wanted to come in in the morning. Dh was brushing his teeth at 5.30am before work and Oreo was out front wailing, he had to rush down so as not to upset the neighbours.

    Night before last Dh went to check on ds2 before bed and didnt notice Oreo sneak in the room, he then locked him in the room over night. Next morning I could smell something awful :( Oreo had used ds2s buvet as his litter tray _pale_ Not something you want to wake up to and poor ds2 was almost sick when he saw it

    I've earned £437 in 2 years and nearly double that with Quidco. I booked our hols with on the beach a couple of months ago though as their rates were slightly better and the percentage of just over £1000 made it worth booking through them. I think that might have been a plus members perk and it has not paid out yet so dont want to risk cancelling the membership if it means I might forfeit my cashback claim. iyswim :o

    House stress has got to me a bit so I baked cakes again :o
    Had a go at 2 tone icing, never done it before :)
    Made these just for us, so didn't matter how they turned out :)
    DH wants to buy me some proper baking bits :) I'm using whatever I can get my hands on at the moment which is why my icing isn't properly swirly :(

    queen of cheap pleased to hear you are back on the bus :D, I've missed your stories.

    Off to aquafit shortly, catch you all later. Might have another go at the mullys today :o

    Oh my days, today was a reminder of how much I hate using the bus :eek:

    A young "lady" was talking very loudly behind me to her friend about how she still has to brush her teeth for two minutes, even though she doesn't have many :eek:

    Wow dipdap, you're on a roll! Just having my cup of tea at work and one of those would do very nicely to go with. :)

    Funnily enough, I have an abundance of excess bakeware-type-bits that need a new home *she says for no particular reason* :whistle:

    Awesome cakes as always :D

    Hello all, I hope I find you well :)

    Is anyone else having problems with TCB this morning? The app and website seem to be down.

    Just received an email from TCB telling me the meal deal I purchased did not match their T&C :mad: why then is the offer showing on my account. :(
    Also getting a bit fed up of chasing them for tracking too.
