She looks scrumptious

The trainers are bothering me. Who has taken them off without undoing the laces and How are you managing to keep such white laces :rotfl:

I never loosen the laces on my trainers, just wriggle my feet in. Shouldn't really as the first time my right knee ligaments went on me was when I was doing this :eek: and my laces are the only things that look white after I wash my trainers

I've voted N6CNH - good luck with your venture :T

Glad your Mum was OK today tweets :j

Glad you managed to escape alive from Ikea on a weekend TM :T

Hey honey :hello:

Savvybuyer

The other big marketing trickery is promoting an initially low cost and then loading it with "optional" extras later. They can't be honest about the true full cost as people then wouldn't be drawn to buying the products or services in the first place. Tell me about my laptop and other purchases yesterday:mad::mad:. That was an expensive day - I spent £150 more than I originally had in mind! Oh well, sometimes I suspect we just have to pay more as it's just too hard and time-consuming to get it any other way. I suppose the cost is offset by my grocery shopping savings - but, again, paying more elsewhere instead of savings all through. I ended up getting a more expensive printer, on the basis that the ink cartridges lasted longer (I suspect that's a good tip - that the true cost of a printer is the cost of the ink) but then I bought up in advance, in some mbuy game:mad:, lots of cartridges for the old one that went bust and thus didn't make any saving but ended up shelling out more! I could end up with more expensive printer (I don't mean hundreds of pounds though, I wasn't that daft:rotfl:) and then more expensive cartridges (in the sense that, even though cheaper, they don't get used before the thing breaks).

As for the laptop, they got me into buying the anti-virus software on top of my original plan by promoting its way expensive full cost £79.99 and instead offering it for about £20 when, coincidentally, the same deal is available elsewhere when you buy(:() selected printers. Frown as, of course, you have to buy something in order to get that "£20" "deal" and can't just pay £20 for it - but then we'd never expect that to be the case:rotfl:.

I've been relying just on Windows Defender:eek: for well over a year, even doing my banking online, but/yet never had any problems with it. I guess I was persuaded into 'proper' anti-virus again as a relative previously didn't seem to like my idea of having none. Yet my idea is that, if I was ever the victim of fraud, and I never was, so would have been all a pointless waste of money on anti-virus, then I'd just claim back from the bank as it was a fraud and not my transaction. (Perhaps putting too much hope there in something that might not have worked out...!)

They're getting (or are) as bad as holiday companies that have an initial low upfront cost prominently displayed at the outset and then load up the accommodation costs, supplements, admin. charges, whatever they think of, later. Or the phone company tariffs - they're another business that advertises in this way. And even, perhaps holidays more than phones, some more dubious websites that tick boxes automatically in order to opt you into paying for something extra and you have to untick them.

So, I got caught into:( paying extra for anti-virus and then they wanted me to pay £3 a month thereafter for their support services. With the first month "free", but I'll never use it in that period anyway. So, if there was a virus - I've never been caught by anything noticeable yet even when risking on just Windows Defender - they would deal with the problem for me. Hang on - you give me anti-virus software (or, rather, I pay extra for it - and do so because of its great protection that you say it offers me) but, then, if the software fails and doesn't do its job (when it especially should do its job because it's as great as you say), you then charge me extra (£3 a month) to deal with it. Or charge me that extra anyway, even if there's absolutely no problem.

That's not my idea or way of thinking. My idea is that, if anti-virus software, or anything else, that you've sold me, does not work or fails, then you are liable to pay me for the failure of your own faulty thing that hasn't done what you said it would, not for me to pay you extra to pay for the failures of your own system to do its job that I am buying that and paying you for.

Of course I did not say any of this to them. Fortunately I refused to get further entrapped into this, as an outgoing open-ended commitment with, seemingly, no limit to my liability to pay on my end. In other words until I cancelled it. I take the same view of every extended warranty and any guarantee - in effect it is to pay them for producing shoddy goods that ought to last longer. We hear the claim from time to time that white consumer goods, for example, are not built to last - it serves them to have them breaking down after a certain amount and to have to go and buy replacements. My washing machine company recently sent me a letter that immediately was like a red rag to me as the bull and really annoying:mad::mad:. I'd registered for their free one-year guarantee. Then they, of course, wrote wanting me to extend that and pay them for the privilege. "That means that, if your machine fails after one year, you will be liable for all repairs and replacement costs." No, no, no, no, no!!:mad::mad::mad: I dispute, completely refute and disagree with your statement in every way possible to the highest and strongest possible level!:mad: If my machine fails after just a year, then, even at the cost I paid for it, I expect it to last longer than that and, if it does not, it must be evidence of a complete shoddy-build on your part in the first place:mad:. Besides, my claim would be against the retailer that sold it to me so I don't know why you are even getting involved in this in the first place:mad::mad:.

(Rant. Rant. Rant.)

It does - absolutely maddening letter and totally infuriates me even to see such a totally, to my mind, untruthful and completely misleading claim that purports to put liability onto me which I disclaim and deny in every way possible!:mad: Really could not have said anything worse to infuriate me in every way and ensure that I did everything except what they wanted.

(I think I'd lie down:rotfl::rotfl::T.)
