    Wasn't you who modelled the t shirt was it LFAB? :p

    I had the same happen on a huge chunky knit zipped fleece lined jacket for Mr TS. I won't call it a cardi as it is much more than that. ;) Fantastic bargain for £1 as think they were meant to be £30ish but I also bought the 4p one for when the other wears out but it seems to be going on and on as he only wears it when it is absolutely freezing. :rotfl:

    yep I got both of those items for 4p...absolutely lovely lined k nitted jacket and several pairs of pjs....great xmas pressies that year (sighs).
    Was it Vanilla twist who modelled ??

    Can anyone help me...my son was held up in a very bad car crash tailback yesterday on A13 at Beckton and as he was only half a dozen vehicles back he has been afftected by it.
    He doesn't know the outcome and thinks there was a baby involved so he was up all night (he has mild autism and can't deal as well as some). I keep saying its rarely as bad as it looks but that won't appease him as a man there was laying it on and saying all sorts to him.
    How can I find out or should I not ?...difficult

    My receipt is quite long as it was my conditional spend shop and a bit creased. :o Would be right where the brie bit is too. :eek:

    Can I fold it up a bit so you can't see my Visa debit bit? As date on Waities receipts is right at the end and assume I need to show that.
    Birds flying high, You know how I feel, Sun in the sky, You know how I feel,
    Reeds driftin' on by, You know how I feel

    It's a new dawn, It's a new day, It's a new life, For me, And I'm feeling good...

    Mine was long but I took 2 or 3 pics. They need to see the whole receipt. I did mine on ipad and it was easy to do, if I remember rightly they give provision to do more than one photo xx

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Which bit of the receipt do I have to take a pic of for the president brie, I have never uploaded a receipt before. :o:eek::o

    All of it, take a photo of the whole thing at once, providing it's not too long/small to read.

    google might be handy in this situation....if there sadly has been fatalities then it's likely to have been mentioned on at least the local newspaper sites etc
    I would speculate that the less that is mentioned online about it then hopefully whilst it may have appeared bad the outcome might be more positive.

    I am sure if there were fatalities then local sources would know about it especially if infants may have been involved.
    I remember a few years back that there was quite a bad accident in our local area involving a child who sadly lost their life and the fallout was there for all to see and read.

    I hope your son isn't badly affected and to be honest I think you've done the right thing by trying to give the approach you already have...you are right sometimes things appear far worse than they actually are.

    I've done something this morning.....that I know may not prove popular with some of the people it was aimed at...basically I feel as if I have pulled the pin and thrown the grenade....and am now just waiting for the fallout!

    it's been a long time coming and has been directed at the management company who run one of the complexes we own a property on....but I feel so much better for having pressed the send button on my email.
