Evening elite, c and c of mainly toblerones results not in yet. Not sure if I will claim right away .

I haven't had any problems in previous months with claiming right at the beginning of a new month but they did pinch £20 worth of perfectly valid ' in date' vouchers off me recently so I am wary of what they may get up to. A couple of people have reported problems in the last couple of days so I am delaying my claim from yesterdays order. It was suggested that the new month might be based on the date of your last claim in the previous month so, as my first order in June was 7/6 I pln to wait until the end of next week before claiming. I do NOT want to lose £32 worth of evouchers and waiting a day or two won't hurt.(certainly not as much as losing my vouchers would !).

My udis came back N/A vs Waities from this afternoon's c&c. Made my shop compare to T where the tobes are a whopping £4!!:eek::eek:

10x Udi's Gluten Free Strawberry Flavoured Toaster Pastries (260G) £29.50 N/A

I noticed that msm says they are oos in W, whereas w.com says you can buy them. I'm wondering where the new apg gets it's info from. :think:

How strange :think:

I have noticed that waities website gives different signed in/out for some things.

Signed in: You searched for udi strawberry: (0 results found)
Signed out: You searched for udi strawberry: (1 results found)

But looking at the product page (http://www.waitrose.com/shop/DisplayProductFlyout?productId=408586) 'This item is not available from Waitrose Kenilworth.' so maybe it is only showing in-stock signed out :think: (I see other people have had successful comps with W so very strange)

I checked the toblerone prices signed in and out just to be safer but didn't look at udi's on waities website .

UDIs have now been OOS in W for 8 days (according to MSM) so assuming they are still using MSM then the N/A would be correct.

The apg doesn't use msm.... BUT, as both msm and the new apg scrape waitrose websites in a similar way they will often agree!

Why would you wait to claim?

A couple of people who used all/nearly all of last months £100 allowance reported that yesterdays CC shops were being counted in last moths allowance and they weren't getting the full evoucher value. On the basis of that I am delaying claiming yesterdays voucher until next week to allow any glitches to correct themselves as I don't want to risk losing my voucher.

Been doing my car insurance today - or at least trying to. Tried various legitimate retweakings:o:o on one of the comparison sites and noticed, one of the companies, when I put £500 as the excess, their premium was still 'too high', putting it at £700 and £1000 did not change that situation. However, when I put it to just a £250 excess, their premium went way down and became the cheapest, yet £100 and £200 gave a higher premium! If, in the event of a claim, I pay the first £500... yet, if I choose to pay £250 instead, it is cheaper?!?:huh: Just bizarre.

Just never can tell therefore - maybe people with £250 excesses, for that firm, are considered less risky, whereas ones that choose to pay more, or to pay less, are greater risks. Moral is just never assume that anything is logical: just as comprehensive, bizarrely, can be cheaper than third party fire & theft, sometimes choosing a lower excess can cause the bill to go down (or up).

I have found this as well I assumed the logic is that ppl will pick a higher excess to avoid higher insurance, so put the higher insurance there. It was about £300 difference for me. Also putting my DS and MIL on also dropped it by another £30 each. Moral always check and change options.

Just had a very heated discussion with OH - trying to do the walkers codes tonight and having trouble getting the capcha codes accepted and then getting the submit button to go - then OH admitted he was downloading magazines :mad:
(He is obsessed with railway and plane mags)
We have zilch download speed - main computer just seizes up if anyone downloads anything but they won't admit it when they are doing it - they just let me struggle away on the main computer

So having sworn and cursed the main computer OH scuttles off to stop the download - I was getting code not recognised repeat idly and no submits - lost patience with it and Oh

Only 2 winners tonight

Good man :beer:

If he's using uTorrent (or possibly other torrent software) then he can throttle the download speed so DW doesn't notice :cool:

yes so am I, I have to write things down, then I loose the paper I have written on:eek:

(Just getting round to this from yesterday:o - I know it's passed. Passed into the past that is:rotfl:.)

Just ready for Savvy to resurrect it...:o:o, anyway...

I live in constant fear (actually that's too strong a word) of being in M with all my writings down and having them confiscated from me (not that they would be allowed to do that) - typical that I've have everything down on one sheet of paper and lose the whole lot if they took just that away or, more likely, if I lose it out of my pocket in the car park:o:o. Absent-mindedness... maybe.

I'm sure that, if I was to lose the paper I'd been writing everything down on, it would be absolutely fine though as I would remember every bit of it! I live in 'fear' (not quite) of forgetting something yet crystal-clear remember it.

I just...remember it.:):cool: Seems everyone else wouldn't!:rotfl::(:(:o

I think there was something on the BBC News yesterday (I don't remember the time it was on:o:rotfl:, but I think there was something at some point during the day) where they mentioned that people's brain are very tolerant of inaccuracy. That seems to explain why, as it comes across to me, from my way of seeing things, people continually make mistakes that they don't appear to realise - it's clear that my brain is obviously very intolerant of inaccuracy and therefore "everything has to be accurate and right" and explains why I constantly pick up on mistakes (especially tiny ones) that others don't seem to spot.

Really, I don't need to write anything down at all instead I can call on my savant memory skills. (Look here, me,... bragging!:D:o:o:rotfl:)

I have got an exceptional (rote) memory. It ought to be savant really;). (I'm assuming that people have a detailed knowledge of different technical definitions of savantism lol:rotfl::rotfl:.)

Well OH asked me if I'd heard from eldest child today - he'd had a text but not me.
Eldest child's BF had been setting off for work on a very large terrifying roundabout and a car ran up the back of him - not injured but he has got a painful neck, not been to the doctors yet. The car is a works BMW and the garage gave him a van as replacement while it's being fixed
(The car was a replacement for his own works car, another BMW. Thieves targeted it, tried to over ride the management system, the immobiliser shut everything down so this car is also in a garage doing an impression of a house brick)

So that was this morning.

Eldest son is working over the weekend - the idiot in charge of the asylum - so he is off tomorrow and he decided to come home tonight - GF is in Paris so he is at a loose end.
He came in the door about 8.30 tonight saying me might need the AA.
On his way back tonight he lost control of his car on a wet muddy road and had a discussion with a tree. Fortunately a few passers by helped him get it off the side of the verge and back onto the road and he got home - only about 10 mins away
Damaged the front valance, steering wheel at 90 degrees - possibly steering etc.
So we had to ring the insurance company. The claims people will call tomorrow and then off it will go to the garage to be assessed.
Worst case scenario will be if they decide it costs too much to repair it will be written off but we won't know until tomorrow.
He has just had new tyres put on which cost over £400 - credit card bill not even paid for yet.
Not sure yet if he will get a courtesy car - otherwise we have to put him onto my car insurance temporarily - used to do this with our original car when he was just in the country for a few weeks at a time.
Anyway, have to sort this out in the morning - used to cost £25 a week
Whatever happens he needs to have some sort of car to drive back to work tomorrow night or Saturday morning - really hate the thought of him driving my car but if needs must

And then if it is written off then we will have a week of car shopping again - my least favourite activity on the planet

I've managed to nagg at him to keep putting money into his regular savings so he does have money to fall back on if it is the worst case. He has only had this car since January since he came back to the Uk

Both BF and eldest son have a terrible history with cars - at least both of them are alive and came out unscathed today.
