Good to know I was not the only one. :eek:

I just turned off my router to see if that would help but maybe coincidence I got back in now.

I followed the link to report technical problem and then got a automated response saying MSE could not answer every single question. :eek:

Followed link in email and also found the bit I think you must have read as to why IP addresses are banned. :eek:

Hoping this posts and all is well.....

I must admit, when I read this post this morning I was very confused. I'm not actually clear on what FC is unhappy about?
People donating glitchy items?
People donating only what they can afford (which may be £0 most weeks, unless a glitch is available)
People being encouraged to buy glitchy items in order to donate them whilst making some evouchers in the process?

As for
"I'm very uncomfortable with making money out of others misery"

Ok then, to please you we'll still buy all the free glitchy stuff, but just not give them to charity. Does that sit better with you?



Oh and FTR, I think the Baxters meals are a very good item to donate to food banks. I've eaten them myself and they are quite tasty, but the bonus is that they only take a minute or two in the microwave or at a pinch, can be eaten cold if necessary so do not use much valuable fuel to cook.

I didn't see it.. because I stuck that AE on my ignore list

Hi gang, I got my Baxters today. I had sausage for lunch and it was quite nice. My Dd didn't agree though! Oh well I only got 10

I also ordered the airwick reed diffusers but sent them back because they were full price from my store, but they showed on APG as comparing with M £11.95 v £5.99. DeeDee said at the time they probably would, and we should know to trust her, hey?

Plus I got 6 Udis to take to Foodiebank. Yay!

I've just been looking on msm... Apparently @ only sell 2 of the fray bentos ones that I spotted...it's such a reliable app;)

Come and stand over here Tiny...we can form a queue...its much more civilised than a list!

I don't think MSE wanted us to form a queue. :rotfl:

Think probably been bilging far too much today.

Good afternoon everyone
Put me on the list, I never went to uni either, but I did get my qualifications eventually, working full time and going to night school for years and years and years, showing my age now

I took a sickie today, to be honest I cried that much last night my whole face has ballooned up, I could not open my eyes properly this morning, not a pretty sight:eek:

A huge big thank you for all your comments, it really does help getting other people’s take on a situation, you are all :A and you can all have a dodgy hug from me :grouphug: I was wrapping myself in knots and stressing myself and my oh, Acas have been brilliant the past few years with the practicality of working in my situation, FC your right they never actually said take my boss to court, that was one of the options, l took it as my only option, I can be my own worst enemy sometimes
I have decided to take next week off work to take stock, my boss is ok with this, he really is a good boss, he’s ready for retiring and has some difficult decisions himself, the situation with his step daughter is not helping at all, this has added extra pressure on me, I am now in limbo until he makes his final decision, can I last to the end and get a redundancy payout , it will not be much but would take the pressure off us until I get another job or if he sells will I be taken on with the new company or do I look for a new job now
Right I had my mini melt down and now it’s time to take control, I am going into work tomorrow and I am going to try and talk to my boss again hopefully we can work something out if not then I will have next week to come up with a plan of action, the prospect of interviews and starting again in a new company fills me with dread but needs must
Thank you all again, apart from my oh I do not have anyone else to help me put things into perspective :T:T

Anyone popping to @ later might want to take a walk down the garden aisle. The s/a in my store today were reducing some of the planters, gloves, trowel sets, candles (if you haven't got enough already) and mini lanterns.

Why?

I think the IP thing is because of all the spam MSE has been trying to stop, we have been lucky on the Elite but it has been getting pretty bad elsewhere. Think there is a thread about it either in the Arms or the Techie board.
