Thank you - did you enter the same details in error to claim or different details? No reply from a few weeks ago when Mrs Anon won (before realising the delete repeat trick). No reply for another family member from earlier this week.

Between the Anon family who played, won and claimed, we had 3 vouchers that said they had already been redeemed on another account and 2 that haven't arrived.

Given your response we are not sure whether to just write them off or follow up? We were quite lucky in the end and did cash in "a few" .

Well, I would have said not Anon as I just used the 2 devices and 2 email addresses but when I got the email, I stopped and wondered if that's what I had done. I'm still not 100% certain that that was the case. Could they be checking by IP though. I did use another name different to my real one who got this message.

Sorry, I'm not much bl00dy help to you at all am I :rotfl:

I just got overcharged in asda - garlic roule (found in the cheese aisle) £1.84 each or £3 for 2 but the multi didn't come off.

Apparently I wasn't entitled to a £2 gift card because I'd used the self scan tills and therefore it was my responsibility to keep an eye on the prices. Well, a quick phone call to CS soon sorted that out :rotfl:

If she hadn't been so snidey I'd have let it slide, but she was so I didn't :rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl:

Then they should have signs up indicating what customers' responsibilities are when using SS.

Be grateful for any suggestions

About a year ago our council changed the recycling again and gave us a kitchen caddy... and about 200 biodegradeable liners on a rool, I think about 6l?

So we are now running out of liners and I was pretty shocked to find they aeem to be 11p+ each from the supermarkets for 20 packs. I can't beleive the council paid that much if they handed out 200 to every household so does anyone know where to get them in bulk at sensible prices?

And then just as you're drawing a deep breath as it all seems the worst is over, they go and marry and reproduce and you fall head over heels in love with your grandkids and you see the money flying out of your purse all over again. Except this time round, you don't even pause to count it!

And don't we know it :eek: and no, I've no idea how much we've spent on them, terrifying really. The first one we bought the pram, consequently when next one had a child we did the same. These Oran's dud 2 babies each but then you get the gap, all equipment cleared out then oooops, there's another on the way and another peak ordered :eek:

I had to pay £20 board from when I turned 16 (and was still at school), I was only allowed to go to college if I was totally independent... I ended up moving out when I was 19, my siblings moved out even younger (one moved out at 14!) I don't want that for my kids, but I think I have gone from one extreme to the other...

This makes me realise how well off we were as kids. We had all we wanted, private school for me then when we left school we were never asked to pay board. I never helped my mother clean, washup, laundry etc, she never asked or told me to do I and I never thought to do it.

It was only when I left home firstly at 19 that I paid my way for a year before returning home for a while. At the time my parents were in business and very confortably off money wise and they could afford to make these sacrifices. When I think now about it I do realise how lucky we were, and unfortunately to a certain extent I've been the same with my boys. I am treating it as early inheritance though, is that wrong of me, us I mean?

as for board money we've only ever asked for £30 a week, DS4 though working doesn't always pay up unless asked for it, now that annoys me. Where the dickens could he live for £30 a week? This includes his laundry and feeding dgf when she is here, In reality that amount of money would be gone in a couple of days for food for the 2 of them :eek:

Sorry no time to read back.

DD has returned from a couple of days in Yorkshire. Her car has been vandalised while away:o It's hard to say what's happened to it but it looks like someone has been jumping on it or there's possibly been a couple fighting over the bonnet. She is devastated. It's a brand new car.
What I'm wondering is.....the windscreen is a mess....it's as if someone with trainers ingrained with gravel, has been kicking and scuffing the glass.Its a mess:o
Does anyone know if there's anything we can use to make good the glass?

Thank you

Insurance should cover the windscreen without loss of no claims.
