Hi Curlgirl

The Port worked for me mid week

Thanks, I had seen it posted on here that it had worked Thursday. as I said to Tesco when I phoned my "cousin":D had got a BG match

Morning all.
My 2 cases of mystery sparkling have turned up.
Happy with it, all reasonable to good bottles, with only one bogey (A Blossom Hill Sparkling Moscato) but that was counter balanced with a bottle of Moet Rose So all good.

I'm not sure if the condensation in the house is worse since we had the cavity wall insulation redone or because we have now sealed in the ceiling in the bathroom, no draughts up into the rafters anymore. :eek: The glory hole is downstairs so I think it is possibly the insulation that has contributed to the problem there.

A few corners of ceilings upstairs are becoming a problem too but we do need to decorate. Decorating the downstairs loo seems to have combated the problem in there after treating with the Ronseal. :T

We really regret having cavity wall insulation. We battle with mould around the top of ceilings in certain rooms that we never had before. I'd get rid of it if it was straightforward

Enquired at customer services tried telling me I had not bought enough things ( there was a BG on the receipt)
They called duty manager who tried saying it was because the 25% had been taken off, (she could not count, I had showed her the Morrisons prices) said she could not do anything in store
Phoned Tesco from the car, they said it was coming up as N/A against Morrisons, even though I pointed out it was on Morrisons website and had worked for my “cousin” she insisted their independent checkers update the system twice a week so there was nothing they could do.

Decided to take it back and get my money back, duty manager seen us and came across, told c/s to refund the full price, not the 25% off, as a gesture of good will, plus they did not ask for clubcard so still have the points. :j
An extra bonus found a receipt with 167 points in a trolley at ASDA:rotfl:

Was just gonna post that Hardys Chardonnay came back n/a against Morries for me last night even though I seen it on here in the daytime.
Food was working though.

I read before that Bridgend council had all the insulation removed a couple of years ago. Couldn't find anything on google last year when I was looking tho.

The problem is some insulation can hold water ( the rockwool stuff is one) and that can lead to the wall ties rusting away. This happened in the apex in my house.

Edit: Newport too

Just found my credit card:o:T

Down the side of the car seat. Proud to say it's the first time I've ever had to ring up and cancel due to losing it......but annoyed at myself too:o

When I rang them to cancel it last night they asked for my last transaction and I realised that it wasn't my T wine shop but was the petrol station and I'd put £40 in. At the exact same time, the transaction at their end showed only £1.

When I rang T to ask if my card had been handed in, she said that the Self Service pumps take £1 first to check the transaction is valid and then they take the rest a day later:think:
Another piece of useless information:rotfl:

:T:T:T glad you found it but annoying you had already cancelled it

Ive had this problem with the upstairs small bedroom corner ceiling and the stairwell ceiling on the same side, and sprayed it a few times with domestos spray bleach, and eventually it completely disappeared.
