Did you (Harryhfp) or didn't you?

Tesco direct messaged to say my black friday laptop is on its way to store. I guess its walking very slowly, because it is going to take 4 days to reach the store.

In fairness they did state across their website that due to unprecedented demand deliveries would take 5-7 days (from memory). Of course nothing unprecedented about it, they just didn't get sufficient resources put in place!

Good morning everyone :xmassmile:


Hope everyone is well or at least making progress on their way to recovery.

I've not caught up... Too much to do so little time etc etc

Did finally manage 2 nice pieces of rump from @ yesterday. They had none on Friday when I bobbed in:(
Thanks to Bubbs for mentioning it:)

Can I ask where people are finding the soreen bars in asda please? Are they a cake bar, cereal bar, biscuit? I've just noticed it runs out today so might fly through at lunch to collect them... Desperately trying to get to the £19 ish so I can with draw my cash from both mine and Mr monkeys accounts

DD has battery operated string lights in her bedroom for at night. I bought a pack of 4 rechargeable batteries from the pound shop and recharge them when necessary. If they are led like DD they usually need charging every 10 days or so. I guess you could always try them for a couple of days and return them if you aren't happy with them...

I looked everywhere for owl plug in ones but could only find them on eBay coming from China. Mr Monkey didn't like that idea ...

savvy,


thanks for mentioning the iron tablets in M, will have a look later in the week.


I priced them up in my local chemist who quoted £23 for a pot of 100!!

If you are after a good iron supplement I can recommend Spatone. It's basically sachets of iron-rich water but really works. I don't know how it works but totally sorted my anaemia out when nothing could for years. Amazon sells it cheap.

Read this, I had a similar problem when making my xmas cake a couple of years ago, opened the flour and they shot everywhere!!!


Was told that they feed on the glue on the packaging, under the flaps on cereal boxes, tucked on the glue in the folds on bags of flour, even on the edges of tea bags!!!


I was told that they also thrive under labels on tinned foods and to remove all labels from tins before storing, but thought this a bit too much.


I now empty flour into plastic food bags with a zip seal, plus empty all cereals into plastic storage containers.


HTH


Off for a catch up.....

Thanks for this, I'm going to investigage further in my cupboard! :eek:

mhoc,


Please can I ask, when you sold your item on eb, for the extra 2000 nectar points how do you know if the offer has gone through correctly, as I sold my item as instructed but there is no mention of the points anywhere on the site?


tia

Same here, its a bit of a limbo land. I did message them but I just got the standard wait 28 day reply. I reckon my 2000 should go into the account by the 4th of December - I listed and sold an item in 3 days after we got the email

I found them in the bakery section and not with cereals or cereal bars

And the stress is the point. Most places do have clear signs displayed these days. You do have to keep your eyes peeled as they are popping up everywhere at the moment. 2 supermarket car parks I use have introduced 2 hour free parking in the last month.

in all honesty if you have boobed and overparked and the fine is reasonable, is it really worth the stress of hours of time trying to find a way out of paying it? The days of illegal parking fines are practically gone. Most, if not all of the companies that operate on supermarket or shopping centre carpaks these days have been made legit by a series of court rulings.

if they put a sign up and you don't read it, it will be hard to deem the fine unfair. that's just my opinion. I don't like less free parking either but as with everything in life, ignorance isn't an excuse anymore

It's not so hard for BPA members tickets to be beaten. (don't name the driver appeal to popla citing non compliance with POFA and/or lack of authority).

For IPC members it's impossible to win at appeal for any reason.

Supermarkets are actually the worst offenders as people are more likely to visit twice in a short time and the ANPR can't handle these and issue tickets for 1 continuous stay. "double dip"

In general though most tickets are issued because people parked incorrectly. Just a pity that 6 Lords changed the law whilst the other felt they were completely wrong and the matter should have been referred to Europe when he said the matter was "not acte clair"
