    Good evening Elite:hello:

    So, who’s the guilty person that sent me the dreaded lurgy then ? :eek: the last two nights I barely slept. Cough, cough, cough, sore ribs and sore throat with the coughing.

    Did a small wash load this morning and now find my tumble drier has kicked the bucket :mad:
    So I’ve has a couple of days off, trying to fight this off :cool:

    I had seen about the mse Andreas post the other day but why is it front page news? Such a shame that neither Andrea nor mse have stated what the issue is. Is it possible she posted it on the wrong thread?


    Sorry, usually I like to share but this lurgy I wouldnt wish on my worst enemy

    I thought I was feeling a little better this morning, so decided to get showered and dressed and go for some air, took Harley over the field, OMG I nearly collapsed, every step I took was really hard, like walking through cement, then I was coughing, loads, I had to stop every few steps as I was going dizzy.

    So sorry to hear this. I!!!8217;ve been in bed since Friday and like you wouldn!!!8217;t wish this on anyone. Took the rubbish out today and it!!!8217;s the first time I!!!8217;ve been out since then. Did me good though, sun and fresh air, even if brief.

    Last night when I was coughing I was getting bright lights while my eyes were shut. Wierd!

    I doubt it is an error as she posted a few days ago within the thread too. I am not sure which posts have created the issue, whether it is a particular Elite shopping technique or something that someone posted as a one off, but hopefully it will at least be removed from the first post.

    If it is something that anyone on here is posting about regularly, rather than a one off, it would be helpful to know as most people know we are stretching the goodwill of stores (taking advantage of any glitch isn’t exactly in the spirit that stores would intend - they would probably expect customers to not take advantage and to let them know, as I am sure we all do :A), but many would not knowingly get involved in anything if they knew it to be fraud.

    At least you put yer hand up :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I’ve felt rough with my bad leg and chomping antibiotics, then this rattling cough grrrr. Thought I felt ok to sit in lounge today but I felt worse coughing so much I thought I could see stars :eek:

    All radiators are on but I feel so cold so going back to bed with tissues and a remote :cool:

    Hope you feel better soon Sarah xx
    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.

    I get what what you mean, let’s just hope it does get removed from first page, it could be offputting to new posters, or bring in the wrong sorts :eek:

    I would think therefore it’s a form of stirring things up. No ruffled feathers in the last few days, not that I noticed during catch-up anyway xx

    Taking advantage of glitches, I see it as not any different than the supermarkets taking advantage of the muggles, how many of us would look at pasta, 250g costs 20p 500g costs 45p and a kg costs £1, we would buy the small pack but I have seen people pick up the kg bag, I personally am doing mental arithmetic all the way around the shop but the majority don't , and that in my opinion is the supermarkets taking advantage of muggles as we do of them.

    C0sta expires midnight on Friday so an extra day to get it :).

    Has anyone found a reusable cup that will take the massimo/largest coffee in all the coffee houses? Staff in C0sta suggested their largest only holds a medium :(.

    Many thanks
