You can have some of ours, we are struggling to keep up with the sell by dates what with the mullers, Fage and Onken

I have no problem here - I know mine are disappearing faster than their dates:(. Someone else here had 8 in one day:eek: yesterday! Despite being told not to have any at all now for at least three days due to them taking three days' supply the day before:mad:. As they've now had, in a single day, their entire weekly allowance and more (should be just one per day and even that is no good as I also want the same and then it halves the number left:(). That was my penalty for visiting M and not getting back quite before the other person got back here - return to find nearly all the Mullers consumed:(:(:mad::p! I have now attempted to ban them for over a week, as they have consumed all their allowance and more, I have had success for all of one day at the moment - but what can I do? I've now put them behind stuff in the fridge, at the back, but even this may not be a success I feel. Eight is just plain absolute greed - and that was made clear. It's no point - as usual, I can just tell people and, as usual, I will be ignored. I am not angry, upset or mad at being ignored these days as I expect it to happen, of routine, and it does.

With just a handful of Mullers now left that are supposed to cover the rest of this month and a few days into July... they were supposed to last. I am now left trying in vain to make them do so. They took the last Cherry Bakewell as well, which I even told them not to take, and so there is none of that even left for me now. Yet again I am just left powerless - there is nothing I can do, they have already opened it and consumed it.

Fighting a losing battle I feel on the yoghurts/rice - I just have to hope I am in the house when the other person is and, if I see them going to the fridge, to be able to stop them by saying "No, no, no!" - otherwise I almost know they will go. I can but hope that my moving them around in the fridge in a failure to hide what they already know is here will fail. They've just opened the fridge door as I write:eek:! I've cried out "No" three times! Fortunately they have managed to go for a Satsuma and not got the yoghurts/rice - but really I know they are not safe. Had to resort to Satsumas as not able to get more than two different apples packs earlier in the week - price of apples generally too expensive.

It makes no difference what I say - with me, if I am told I am wrong, I actually listen to people and change my behaviour but, if I tell people they're wrong, they just ignore me and continue to carry on regardless. I'm just yapping in the wind and nothing ever changes.

Now, whilst I was concerning myself with this post, they've just had the ENTIRE SATSUMAS!!:mad::mad::mad: A pack where there were six left. They just don't stop:mad:! :(Now I'm down by one set of fruit and having to buy more:(:p. Just nothing I can do, ever. (It's not as if I can even 'fine' them (or get them to buy me some more satsumas which amounts to the same thing) - as the money just comes out the general household, in other words from me anyway. So, I'm just left with no way of making life difficult for them or any sanction and items of food just disappearing before I can have any fair share of them. I can't even complain that it's unfair, even though it is - no point complaining it's unfair: life's unfair! So it's therefore just consistent with the unfairness that life is and sadly is to be thoroughly expected with nowt you can do about it!)

Good morning go cat, its just after 7am here. It's good to hear you still enjoying your hols.
I need to start swimming it is very good excercise and at the moment the only e xcercise I do is walking to and from work and I've been on two dog walks so far.
I'm quite clumsy and have ended up flat on my face a few times so dh has banned me from our usual route which is a bit "off road"
We've lost the sunshine today :eek: clearly God forgot it was my day off :rotfl:
Have a good day.

How do you know that England is your team please? I had a free bottle of Amstel so I am assuming that I have Belgium as they won yesterday and everyone with England seems to have had Birra Moretti.

I think it must just be pot luck as I didn't know anything about it and I had a free bottle of Amstel:)

I received an email before the World Cup started a while ago saying that I had drawn England and any game that they won I would receive a prize. Check your old emails, I don't normally read them from COS.

Morning peeps.

Zippy.
Just checked.
Moretti confirmed on cos.
Cider confirmed on cs.

SO YOU CAN SUBMIT SAME RECEIPT TO CS/COS TO CLAIM DIFFERENT OFFERS

Sorry for shouting......

Thank you. It is a surprise that it worked and I wouldn't suggest it as a normal approach though - their system normally rejects the same receipt being submitted to the same account on CoS (resubmitting if you missed something) and used to reject if putting the same receipt into CS and CoS. This one may have slipped through.

It can be stressful enough keeping track of shopping and uploading receipts with busy lives - I think I will stick with separate receipts otherwise I am bound to mess up or get caught out knowing my recent performance.
