Just back from pizza shop all good except...as I got in the door there was a big fridge right by CS and a lady shouting very loudly how you need 4 pizzas and 4 gus and ten packets of sweets (not different items).
The old lady she was addressing was getting flustered and another girl came up and she started spouting and waving her arms at her.
Now I'm all for sharing the love but these people were being bombarded with wrong info and they were both trying to back away, CS were looking over and I went over and advised it was 5 deals and just do the 6 for 50p sweets one of each type ....she hit the roof and starting really shouting that 5 was far too many for one shop bla bla.....Que Sera eh ??

I helped a young lad , he had 2 pizza in his basket and was dithering near the puds with 3 in his basket , i asked him if he was doing the glitch, he said yes are you? i said yes with 5 pizza in the basket:rotfl: i put him straight though as he had 1 wrong pud and told him he needed even numbers and 10 different items , i told him sweets, oh thankyou, thankyou he is going:rotfl::rotfl:
He goes does it work though? i said yes:D:D

I couldn't find the puds so had to ask at CS where they might be.....cue the chap with his "can I help you stick" being called and I was then escorted to a cabinet quite a distance from the pizza's.When I mentioned that it was a combo deal the guy then had all the puds moved to the pizza shelf to "make it easier for everyone else to see".....
I told him that was a very good thing to do thanked him and as he turned away loaded 5 of each into the trolley.

I have this one its not that long as I am only 5' 3" and I wear mine without taking it up ..the only thing is it gaps at the front if you have boobs or are fat like me ..so I bought the swimsuit to wear on hols, then it wont matter so much as its the same fabric lol xxx

this is the problem I have with most maxi dresses, the deep v neck so you have to wear a cami vest top underneath but then you end up with 3 lots of shoulder straps - dress, bra and cami top.
so I've been trying to find ones instead with broad shoulder straps and a round neck, a bit vest like at the top and high waisted so the waistline sits just under the boobs

other than that I love maxis - just wish we had more proper summer to wear them, they don't look so good in the pouring rain

I have the kit ready (for OH,not me ) - goggles, nose/mouth mask, balaclava, hat, thick gloves, long trousers, coat, boots. Just need to find some elastic bands, as suggested by TS, to stop them going up his trousers.... I feel like I'm in an episode of Dad's Army

I think we'd quite like a picture of him in his wasp fighting gear;):D:rotfl:
Just catching up, so I expect someone else has suggested it already.
Off to finish my catchup

This reminded me to check on last weeks payment. I got the notification of payment last Thursday but it still hasn't arrived in my PayPal account.:(:( I'm expecting another one today so hoping they'll all arrive together.

Well, I've received this weeks payment but not last weeks. :( Time to send an email. Has anyone else had this problem with Ipint?

I've been sent some fake tan to trial and I'm sure I never applied for it...I'm a complete novice when it comes to self tan and am actually a little apprehensive of what the colour might turn out....its very dark brown in the tube.

I'm sure I applied for a facial exfoliator and hot cloth trial,but I somehow seem to be on the dark self tan body lotion trial!

it's probably not the same as the one I trialled but the one I did looked very dark in the tube and there was a bit of a knack to putting it on - outside in the garden - but actually it looked quite natural. I did it on my legs and the results after a bit of trial and error were very good - just a pity it all comes off in the shower so you have to start again next day ...
showering in the summer is such a long winded job by the time you have scrubbed, moisturised and applied various self tan products to various parts of the anatomy :rotfl: - it then rains

LEJC

Oh mhoc....I really dont know what to do about it....its from the scottish lot...arrived this morning and there is a glove like thing with it and this really brown liquid in a tube!

I'm convinced I answered the questions as if I was applying for a facial exfoliator but clearly not....and I dont want to contact them incase they decide to not send me anything else...it's been a while since I even applied for anything with them...

Perhaps I must try and be brave over the weekend......

Hello Nutters :D:D

Well I was happily tiling my bathroom, oblivious to the outside world (just how I like it) .........when I get dragged kicking and screaming to T ........lord knows what I looked like- probably had bits of tile hanging out of my hair etc..............

OMG I have no idea how I messed it up! Juju went through 5 minutes before me as I was getting some bits ........I killed it at self serve.........then killed it even more at a manned till!!! Wasnt until outside that I got my mse head on and realised I should have gone for DTD as deal didnt come off (instead of cancelling the transaction and leaving!)

Today was much better! Got 5 on way to Brighton for DD, she was happy, then got 10 on way back!!! Worked a treat! (mostly - more of that later!)

So big thank you to Scamps for sharing and to juju for dragging me back into the real world:A:A:A:A

I will stop hiding from the world at some point!

I've checked my COS and it's still showing as 15p for me but I did get the free ones last week. I wonder if they are on Q ...

I stood in Sainsbobs trying to figure out the free baby food - I think I spotted the right Yummies for COS but not the Squeezy yogurt thingy but the shopimum ones I was clueless about so I gave up
