    Good morning all, cloudy one here and looks like we had rain last night.

    My washing dried outside yesterday :D I like to see how late in the year I can actually dry it outside.

    Thanks, but when i tried before it was the print screen i couldnt ind and still cant:rotfl::rotfl:

    If you have Windows 7 or later then there is a fabulous little app called a snipping tool. You start it up and you can take a picture of as much or as little of the screen and save it or print it as you wish. I have great fun playing with it, sad eh? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Oh, and hope you manage to have a good day bubbs with not too many tears xx

    OH DEAR
    one of your claims will be rejected. you will have to contact them, as cos and ipint are processed by the same company

    I had a few go through on both systems without issue over recent weeks .. but then a few rejected in recent days claiming fish on CoS and C4rlibg so had to email them.

    For ease it is probably best to keep items in separate shops.

  • Good morning. I logged onto Morrie's to see if those Haribo boxes are still on offer. We are going to the theatre tonight and my friend I'd mad on sweets so I thought it would be funny to the up with a huge box. I've got a 3000 points wys £35 so thought I would buy 4(Christmas) plus an Amazon voucher.
    Anyway in my basket was sat the offer for the granola and yoghurts for £4 so I've added six cases of bud to make it £40 and it's let me pay so fingers crossed I will get those tomorrow morning.
    I'll be getting very close to my target then but what the heck. I've thoroughly enjoyed doing it and ive learned alot.
    We also need a trip to the sausage wholesalers too which might happen on Thursday along with the butchers run. Then the freezers will be well stocked up again.
    We've got my mum and dad coming for a late breakfast today and dh has kept saying are you sure we've got everything in that we need and as he still doesn't know we are frocking accepted my reply of course we have. The only two things I would have bought would have been hash browns and black pudding, but there will be plenty without them, I do love a cooked breakfast.

    Thanks for all your replies. If only I had a copy of the email bubbs had!
    It makes me so cross when they make up their own rules. If she hadn't added my points I too would be writing to head office.
    Now while I am having a rant can I have the elite's opinion on this. DD has has some asics running shoes and bought them 5 months ago. Has trained in them 3 times a week and whilst doing a 10k the upper fabric came away from the sole about 3 inches long. Took them back to shop stating sale of goods act and fit for purchase but they said it was fair wear and tear. Said it was my dd's running style. She has been running 20 years and this has never happened to her trainers before. They agreed to take photos and send them to HO - this was over 2 weeks ago and still not heard anything from this. Shall I drop the matter or pursue? Thank you in advance.

    You've gone his far matty might be worth pursuing.......if she's been running that long she will know what she's talking about.

    Good luck

    I'm of the opinion that it could be natural wear and tear but most importantly running shoes are generally only good for 200 -300 miles -so 5 months, 3 times a week i'd be replacing them anyway :)

    Morning folks :)

    Haven't been too well the past few weeks, but reached the end of my tether yesterday and went the Dr's, got some tablets so hope to gradually feel better :)

    Off to hit the books......

    Good Morning Elite,

    Is it my imagination or is this NOT as good as last years? It looks like there is more make up and less skincare. The problem with more make up is that the colours are nearly always wrong and so don't get used :(:(

    I also remember it being £30 last year.


    Mind you, I could be wrong on both counts as most of the time I can't remember yesterday let alone last year :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
