    Just checked and it does say F&F, no mention of online, the sa was new and keen, do hope he's wrong though
    It also states excludes phone shop, I remember using one when i bought a PAG phone.

    I'm at home now and just checked the back of mine. The SA is right and it does now not include F&F spends with no mention of it only applying to On-line.

    In that case there might be an increase of sales on saucepans, irons, steamers, hair straighteners etc that are unsuitable or unwanted and get returned
    The end is nigh

    Good morning. Great catch up yesterday
    P2TKL I hope we didn't scare you off, it was lovely to meet you.
    Sunflower, did you get to have a look around the shop?
    We created a bit of havoc in Mr Shoes.......as usual......... but at least we are all clued up on the shampoo points and i now know it doesn't work on baby shampoo. I have to say they are far more obliging in my local one.......thankfully.
    Ellie14 dh is dead proud of me as my diagnosis of FCs ds fishy smell in his bedroom was indeed correct it was the plug socket behind the bed. So you see I must have actually have been taking some of it in over the years haha.
    BQ thank you for all the goodies I went home with more than I arrived with. I will pass the baby stuff on to Dd. Oh guess what was waiting for me when I got home....... 25 bottles of Johnson baby bath and 11 deodorants......they charged me p&p though.....the cheek of it!
    Let's not leave it so long next time

    Another good meet,so clever Di you may have saved a whole family from a major fire disaster ,well done.Nice to have a new member join us ,thanks for helping with mr shoes:A Hope we can all meet soonxx

  • Hello Everybody. Arrived back in the U.K. early this morning, popped into the M&S to pick up some milk,butter,bread and some bacon.

    Had a frightful ride home the long way round in a black cab :eek: think next time I will book a mini cab. Always supported black cabs but unfortunately this idiot seemed to be annoyed that it was a short journey - still cost us £35, he chunked our baggage in. DS had his walker with him so it was obvious that he had a disability but left me to put that in the cab and drove off without giving us a chance to put our seat belts on. So we are trying to clunk click as we were been thrown around the cab with a wheeled walker doing its own thing :rotfl:

    Got indoors made a nice cuppa and a bacon sarnie which cures most things and discovered the amount I had actually paid in Marks :eek: definitely needed a lay down after that.

    Hope everybody is doing ok, will have read back when cases are unpacked. Any good glitches on the go at the mo - can't wait to get back to it all :rotfl:

    xx

    It is annoying.

    I decided to go for it and contacted them straightaway after posting. So yes, it's taken almost an hour as I thought, but there's not much satisfaction in being right. :(

    Anyway, the outcome now is they have withdrawn this particular feather duvet from the website seeing as there have been so many problems. (I now suspect I am not the only one this has happened to.) So you should be safe with Silentnight. Just don't buy anything called Nightflight!

    The outcome for me is that both incorrect items will be collected by DPD on Monday. And moreover, within a one hour time slot that I will be emailed in advance. :)

    DPD have already emailed to confirm collection Monday.

    I will get a full refund.

    I think we are getting there now...

    I'll be buying a duvet from Dunelm I think....


    This company has lovely duvets :

    I bought mine and a mattress topper from them 2 years ago.
