    Booger I lost my post :mad:

    Briefly then, Mr T was rubbish, no Up & Go, I probably wouldn't have liked it anyway, so there. After gathering the rest if shopping and soup, opened bag for coupons and purse, no purse :eek: :mad: So off I trot around the store putting things back when I remembered, :idea: I'd got some change in my pocket, £2.50, ended up just getting the soup and 1 10p banana which I ate on the way to the car.

    Off to Mr A for doggie chews, if they stocked them. By this time I'd got dh with me and still no purse, safely at home in the warm :D Yes, both types were there so with a £2.52 apg from a womble that dh found yesterday, shop done.

    I need a lay down now, my back is playing up :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl:
    There's no place like home :)

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

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    :o

    Having heated discussions here about filling in the form for what is to be left in the sold house.....

    We have limited time & a head in the sand is not the way to be :eek:

    This is probably the hardest part of selling - listing everything is a nightmare.

    My day is going from bad to flippin worse ! I will gloss over the earlier minor disasters today but the latest is that Groundlevel have just delivered a parcel which is supposed to contain 8 mauve bat sheets and 8 turquoise bath sheets. It contains 4 turquoise and 4 RED towels. No apology when I phoned just, well Ok they must have left some out (half the order !) and we can't change the colour now (even though its their fault), will send next week (when I will be away in Portugal.

    Ok, so I decided to wash the turquoise ones to get the dressing out and the colour has run badly and I now have a complete load of turquoise flannels, towels etc. I've just put the new towels through the wash on a hot wash as I'm not sure if any more colour is going to come out - and I reckon the red ones will be even worse. I particularly did NOT want red towels as I was afraid the colour would run. And half of the towels were for a present - I can't very well give them now knowing that the colour wil run really badly and stain someone elses laundry.

    Sorry I ordered the damn things.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your patience whilst we have been reviewing the activity on your account(s).

    After reviewing the activity across the associated accounts we have found no substantial evidence of intentional misuse and as an exception to our rules as well as Terms & Conditions we have reactivated your account. However, to ensure the integrity of our offer to our clients we from this point on will be enforcing the rule of one account per device, so our advice would be for you to inform all other account holders that they from now on need to access Shoptize from their own device.

    Any devices found to be used to claim rewards over multiple accounts will be deactivated in the next series of investigation.

    Thank you for your patience and apologies for any inconvenience.

    Question is, is it really worth continuing with a company whose attitude to it's customers is so poor and whose offers have been deteriorating over the past few weeks. Even milk is no longer !
    Or would that be cutting off your nose to spite your face ?

    There isn't much I can do - I can see from the porthole in the washing machine door that the colour is still coming out as the foam is all turquoise. At least the towels that are stained are very pretty evenly dyed colour (as are a couple of dish cloths - which are now soaking in bleach !)

    I suppose I could run them all through a couple of very hot washes before I gift them - at least they will be nice a soft and fluffy - and put a note in the parcel to say Wash Separately.

    I know I am moaning about something relatively unimportant and its a very minor grouch considering what some other people have to put up with. I will try to take a deep breathe and calm down before I scream.
