Elite 11+ shopping and chat thread part 2½

Thank you so much wonderfull people in here, reading you it was very hard to get in the system but thanks to 3 dogs and all the other people here(I can't remember all names yet) I'm getting there. It's a huge difference doing shops the way I know now and it helps a lot!!

Off to have a go at toiletries in a minute, wish me luck.
MIL is still in hospital but making good progress. The last 11 Irish relatives flew home yesterday, so everything seems very quiet now.

I've never really known what shaking with anger would feel like until Friday evening. I went to MIL's house to do dinner for the hordes. Pulled into a space in front of her house. There were another three or four cars coming up the road behind me, with no room for the one car coming down the road to pass until the ones behind had gone up. Woman in car coming down started hurling abuse at me as I got out of the car, about how selfish I was to pull in like that. I pointed out that I was merely parking as I lived there (ok small white lie) and she just went on and on, culminating in her calling me a selfish f****** b**** :eek: I don't think I've ever been so angry in my life. My parking when I did meant that the cars behind, which she had to wait for anyway, maybe took ten seconds longer to pass before she could go down the road. She spent longer than that yelling. What is wrong with people :mad:

I have a problem which I hope you can advise me what to do. I was paying my shopping today with 2 apg coupons from bayilis shops. Both apg were for 19 pounds. I was on SS and one was accepted the other one rejected. Then all AS came and the manager also, and they were quite rude saying this coupons are not valid because I'm getting my all money back. They wanted to take that apg but i didnt let them. What do you advise me to do? Is there anyone I can complain or should I just try with the same apg later in the week?
Bdw, thank you for all your help in here, I'm managing my family thanks to you all.

I am not sure complaining would be a good idea - you are getting more back than you should, albeit due to a technical issue on their system not recognising the 342 offer. You are exploiting the error though so I would keep quiet and try again - you have been officially trouted . Best to try not to draw attention to yourself and keep anonymous instore :A.

HornetGirl, so sorry you have had this happen to you. It's a horrible experience at the best of times but you certainly don't need it now. When something like this happens to me I try (and often fail) to be positive and think that the person must be coping with mega stress in their lives. Hugs to you.
