    I've just been ripped off!!!!

    Went to buy Christmas cards and stamps and was distracted by little son nagging for sweets so didn't realise at the time that she had charged me wrong. The cards should have been £2.99 a box but were marked up at £1.50 a box --- 3 boxes should have been £4.50, plus 12 1st class stamps and a bag of chocolate buttons. She charged me £12 something. I think she has charged me full price for the cards, and I can't go back an complain because they didn't give a receipt so I can't prove it :mad: What makes it worse is that when I opened one of the boxes there were 2 envelopes missing :mad:

    It's only a little local shop ... I doubt if they have CCTV.

    I've also just been on to the DVLA again and still no word on my licence. I phone the test centre where I took my test and they confirmed that they sent all the paperwork off to the DVLA concerning my test pass. It's obvioiulsy got lost somewhere between them and DVLA. DVLA said they are still chasing DSA for confirmation and have sent an email today. I just want my nice pink licence :(

    I've used the cards .... didn't realise until I got down to the last 2 that there weren't enough envelopes.

    I've unpacked my nativity. :D

    I've looked every year for the last 2 or 3 for one I liked and found this one at Tesco last month.
