  • Family planning do free ones so should save all round
    Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
    Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:

    I would have been very surprised if they had sent them out again, but can completely understand why they wanted you to return them. Clearly you have a more suspicious mind than me as I would have just assumed that they wouldn't use them again and wanted them returned for verification that you had received the wrong ones and to trace what went wrong!

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: The tears are running down my cheeks laughing at some of the responses, various people are reading the thread over my shoulder because I am laughing so much.

    I have vague memories of the American Amazon site listing condoms under the 'buy new or used' section

    Save saynoto0870.com in your favorites, and stop giving companies more £££ dialling 0870 numbers when you can dial freephones or cheaper alternatives
    call your credit card company, tell them that you want to leave, 99% of the time theyll lower your APR%
    Remember when that Bank Manager or Salesperson smiles at you, all he sees is £ notes. Dont forget the motto, "the wider their grin, the more debt your in"

  • Poor Padders - he's already had a hassle with the 'condom' company and all he wanted was some simple advice from MSE'rs and i've just read a list of more 'back and forth' posts. a mountain out of a mole hill.
    anyway, glad to read in the end that there was a happy ending! :)
  • Recycled condoms?

    Euwww! Isn't that just taking it too far?

    (This is said tongue in cheek, had to say this for fear of back lash from the greenies!!) ;-)

    Busy mother of two, juggling with my new job as Infant Feeding Support and keeping up with good household management!

    I became debt free after losing my Mum :A ...I'd rather be poor again.

    Better that than home-made:

    There was a young man of Cape Horn,
    Who wished that he'd never been born;
    And he wouldn't have been
    If his father had seen,
    The hole in the end of the letter.

    Which just goes to show that recycling paper is sometimes a false economy.
