    Wednesday night DS ordered a pair of hairy hands and a red riding hood outfit for him and his GF. Arrived today but it's a double order :eek: I hope there's going to be no problem returning the extras as it's on my account :mad:
    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.

    my tesco had the chicken crisps today. dated feb voucher worked fine

    SA was adamant that the chicken were not included.
    Had a battle with him and kept asking him to scan the coupon which he eventually did. :mad:

    He also said that the coupon is ending before the expiry date as T can't keep giving crisps away. :rotfl:

    I now have a total of 6 packs......
    I've been a bit slow on this one.

    I've just worked out we've got 22 packs, well, 21 packs now, they are rather nice.

    I can hammer T things, they are 15 minutes walk away.

    Might have to make that walk again Monday (can't do it before) in the hope of tuna, though rather unlikely by then.

    Sorry about that - a slight delay before I came back here. We've just had a light bulb blow and only just about at the end of the right time for it to do so as limited time to put it right. (Soon wouldn't be able to see, without a light bulb (it going dark).) Yet again didn't last the length of time they (who shall remain nameless and isn't who you might think) claim they last. As usual, I live with a bunch of liars:rotfl:! They just lie, to sell their light bulbs:mad:. The trouble is I don't know how to go about trying to enforce anything and getting them to replace it. So I just end up putting the next light bulb in their packs into the light system and probably end up with that one failing soon.

    Society won't even let me tell you directly what I am thinking as the truth is not allowed. I've had to think what the 'polite' version is. (Un)fortunately I normally use the 'impolite' version so much in my everyday life, I couldn't immediately remember what the postable version was. I think it's "I feel done over". That doesn't express the true nature of what I feel though. I think the problem is, sometimes, they make things so vague or have get-outs, there's little us poor consumers can do. Another one being chalked down to experience and move on.

    No they don't lie - Savvy get it right. They just do tests don't they and that is the average time they last. If we are to believe them. (I remain without a view on that last point and just as my usual distrusting self again.)

    I suppose it would fail around this time of day though. As that's when you tend to try to put lights on: when you need them.

    Our first success:T:D

    Thanks Arthien for posting about Buyagift. My e voucher arrived through the night.....although I haven't done anything with it yet:o

    I'll be using my last womble today for milk:o

    Evening all! Glad you had your voucher come through ok TM, I was worried last night, mine didn't arrive until this morning.

    Only 4 packs of crisps so far, I knew I wouldn't be able to get the magazines in store as they only seem to display them the month afterwards. Thanks to the poster who mentioned it's available in the online version, gotta love the snipping tool :D

    Thanks, got 4 for MIL this morning. I'm still working my way through Superdrug and Wilkos reductions but she has expensive tastes. Apparently it's my fault for buying her one on sale a few months ago :eek:
