    Mrsmac, hope you're okay.... you are getting yourself into a lot of flipping trouble!

    When I bring glitching into the house, my miserable old soul tells me I have a problem!

    Escaping with your health and sanity is an achievement!

    :T:T:T:T:T:T
    Yep I manged it, but not before health and sanity became very questionable!

    I was redeployed from LAC to adult social care as a TM, Transitions.14 months later the powers that be thought, as I was doing a good job, to give me the 'rouge' team to mange as well as my own...
    When I was asked to take that team on I said, what if I say no, was told, well you've got a job, haven't you!!:eek:3 months later serious op and even more serious consequences so didn't peruse that. Back to work 14 months later after more ops and they seemed to think I new everything that had gone on in my absence and could just carry on............ Didn't happen, breakdown, 2 years working at a lower grade but on protected salary then I escaped!!

    Blinking heck... took a bit to write that SSM, but it is history now and as you say I have my health and sanity!

    Evening all

    Tiny, well done on your haul. Nothing like that in my store, but happy with my few bits

    I have had an accident with my car. I was just testing my hand brake was on and I have no idea what I done but the car rolled down the hill and into the neighbors porch about 50 yards away I was dangling along but no one was injured expect me as badly bruised and the car is now immobile.

    Neighbour was lovely and came over and made me a cuppa She is the same as me it’s only a car and building and both will be covered by my insurance

    That beats my Husbands argument with the tree in our drive! Very glad nobody was hurt.

    Hello, happy new year! For those that may remember me I moved 2 years ago and stopped posting as I wasn't getting out so much with my shopping buddy.
    I must mention I haven't had t buy any cleaning /soap capsules/shampoo/shower gel products since moving, and probably have enough for next 2 years at least.
    I still keep my finger in by doing reduction shops, which have proved to save even more money and I have 3 freezers now!
    Moved on and up lol
    Had to come on today to say went to Asda today and bought the Muller's, 12 for £3.
    The old ones are the best £3.02 APG. Compared to Tesco at 50p each.
    Hope this isn't old news, but twice told better than never.

    Welcome back lialaclil. !!

    You survived. I have witnessed 3 people having a breakdown in the office, and been on the phone with another person as she was curled in a ball in a park having a breakdown. ooh and there was the bloke who was strange one day, we found him shaking in the grave yard. There is a piece today saying about people going on sick... if only they knew that for the majority it is not a choice. It is definitely the most stressful, unappreciated and misunderstood job (and crappy paid).

    So I have added an NW and coop visa to my droid.
    Did the nw first - 10x prize draws.
    Then the coop 4x coke, £3 m&s 2x£5 m&s, £10 dining card, 8 wins from 10.

    Is it possible some card issuers have paid for more prizes than others?
    I think....

    I doubt it, it will be random but you have just had a losing streak and a winning streak :).

    Hi Everybody,

    I tried the Simple wipes today this is the results from the APG.


    3x Simple Regeneration Age Resisting Cleansing Wipes (25pk) £13.05 ( A) £6.00 (M)

    The shelf in Sada said the wipes were on 3 for 2. However, the multi offer did not come off so I went to customer services and they refund the amount for one of the wipes.

    Hope this helps somebody. I am putting together a hamper of simple items as presents so this is great thank you for posting.

    LBM

    Thanks and hopefully you remembered to ask for your £2 voucher for being overcharged too.
