My quidco bespoke rejected as oos but it is still in stock :angry

It must look for stock at the shop you have quoted because my understanding is that it looks for a better deal anywhere.

Aside from rejecting the item as oos it doesn't appear to have tracked.

Giving up with this one, I haven't got the patience for it.

I'm with you on that, but it was fun for a bit! 3 of mine tracked yesterday as £1 spent, then tracked at 40p :rotfl:

I decided to go into work yesterday after I'd been to the hospital. It's quite a trek too! I'd just got there and my bum hadnt even sat in a chair when school phoned for me to pick him up.

It does mess his routine up but worse than that, he'd ordered and paid for his lunch in advance (they make his sandwiches up specially for him the way he likes them) he was seriously not happy about that!
He has a complicated routine going on with his sandwiches. He only eats 4 varieties over 5 days and they have to follow each other in the correct order so he's now ruminating over whether to carry on the routine as it would have been if he'd been there........or start where he left off
I'm keeping out of that because I've already had a layer off face ripped off this morning :rotfl::rotfl: He's rather grumpy!

Or bless him i looked after a lady many moons ago ...who ate the same things at the same time every day no change what so ever ...going on holiday was a night mare because her routine could not be followed which in turn annoyed her and made her very grumpy too just like your son ...but all those years ago it wasnt seen as a condition ...only as an old maiden living on her own being very temperamental ... she had a bag of mint imperials that she ate two at a time at the same time of day too ....now i think her condition would have been diagnosed ......bless her

So sorry it was cancelled, but what a great positive attitude you have.
I hope you don't have to wait too long for another date.



Happy Birthday to Poppy! :j

Di, I'm glad the chemo is going well and you feel less sick on this one. I'm trying to get up to Manchester for next Friday so I can be with my friend whilst she has hers, as she is always on her own and it takes hours and is really hard going. However, I'm waiting for a pre-op appointment for my surgery on 21st, and it suddenly occurred to me yesterday I better not book tickets until I know when this is.

Good idea you don't want to waste your tickets, is it an easy journey via train? Which hospital is she having it at? If its one in Manchester I don't envy her I had to go for a genetics test there it was a nightmare.
Yes its a long process that I'm sure she would enjoy your company. I'm glad my DD comes with me because she's very entertaining!

Off to Ipswich in half an hour, need to collect something for ds3. I think I may even call in at Mr A and look at cat food I only want to get a couple of boxes, don't want to be greedy so I'll leave some for others :cool:

Lovely and sunny here, going to make the most of it when I get back. DH will be out so I can sit in the garden and read in p & q until his return :rotfl:

Happy shopping Elite x

mhoc.....is it tomorrow??

I read your post about that big empty belly feeling the other day but I was on my phone which doesn't let me thank posts :mad: Yours must be doing flip flops by now :eek:

Get used to it lady, it doesn't ever get any better

Well we actually had a internet call at the end of last week. What he was bothered about was he had been on exercise but had not seen any if the country so they were all going on a 3 hour trip :eek:to Calgary which must be the nearest big town/city
I am 2nd named on his current account as back up for emergencies (and often it's the only way I know what he is up to and where he is) and this morning I can see he seems to have had a hair cut - a very long way to go for a hair cut.
Also spend neatly £200 in Walmart - goodness knows on what as they are supposed to be saving for the hols

I know for sure he had flights on Monday to get into Brize Norton on Tuesday I assume but if so he seems to have had a pub dinner in Salisbury and got cash out of the machine today but even though I know for sure he is in the UK we have not had a call or a message, nothing whatsoever

We didn't hear anything for 6 weeks and even now nothing and no reply to any messages I've sent him.

His GF is in Moscow or St Petersburg for about another week so I assume he will show up here sometime this week - we are the runner up prize now.

I am trying to be calm and not cross about the lack of contact - home always has to be the safe refuge you can go back to not where your parents are cross and annoyed with you.

He tends to show up when we are out, a very uncanny knack of doing this. This is fine but I don't really trust him in the house on his own especially since the bird incident.
Also the first thing he will do us go for a shower and I don't want him using the new bathroom without strict instructions :rotfl:

I am also annoyed with the costume buyers for Eastenders

I was in Marks yesterday looking at the sale things. They have a range called Indigo which is vaguely ethnic and boho - there was a few tops that looked OK, still a bit pricey but they would look good with the white summer jeans (also worn on winter hols)

Alvin Hall always said to walk away, walk around the block, put some space between yourself and the impulse buy so that's what I did - I thought if I could find them online, go via TCB and find a code maybe then I might get them.

Then watching Eastenders last night there is Carol Jackson wearing one of the tops over a purple t shirt and under a cardi
Jane last week was wearing a top in the same material as a maxi I'd just bought so this was another Marks top.

So the Eastenders costume buyers reckons frumpy mumsy elderly ladies all go to Marks to buy their clothes :mad:
