Yantan Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 RMF My friend gave me a Christmas card this morning with a £20 pound note in it for me to go for a horse ride I am incredibly touched as we have never exchanged gifts before but she knows that I can't afford to ride anymore and am missing it What a lovely friend you have there Julia I am going to a "Festival of Christmas Music" tonight It will be perishing in here when I get back as I will have to leave the back door open so George can get out for a wee as he thinks nothing of doing it on the carpet if he can't get out Tesco are back to their old tricks. I ordered a free range chicken to the value of approx £4.60. What did they deliver? A feckin great big bugger at almost double the price. I am not made of money and would never have picked up a chicken costing £9 had I been in the supermarket. I complained about this the last time it happened and they were supposed to re-train the pickers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snow Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 What a lovely friend you have there Julia I am going to a "Festival of Christmas Music" tonight It will be perishing in here when I get back as I will have to leave the back door open so George can get out for a wee as he thinks nothing of doing it on the carpet if he can't get out Tesco are back to their old tricks. I ordered a free range chicken to the value of approx £4.60. What did they deliver? A feckin great big bugger at almost double the price. I am not made of money and would never have picked up a chicken costing £9 had I been in the supermarket. I complained about this the last time it happened and they were supposed to re-train the pickers. Are you sure they charged you for it? Check the top of your delivery receipt, not sure it it's just here but they recently introduced a system here whereby if they cannot supply the item you ordered and have to substitute something more expensive they refund the difference in the price. I know I have benefitted greatly from them bringing this in and my delivery driver told e only last week about one of my neighbours who'd ordered Tesco value gin which was about £7 a bottle but it was replaced with Gordon's which would have been £17 a bottle so they saved a tenner per bottle. In my case I've had wine and funnily enough a ready cooked whole chicken which had to be substituted both for much more expensive items but which they charged me only the lower price for, and last Friday they had to substiture my diet coke which was on offer buy 1 get one free - they didn't have my coke and I'd said if they had to substitute to make it Dr Pepper which they did, the Dr Pepper wasn't part of the freebie offer but because it was a substitution I got them BOGOF too. I think it's the best thing they have ever done. We had snow here, though it didn't settle nor was it snowflakey snow, more like ice crystals & it fell with a hissing sound - was nice tho. RMMusing: I went out for lunch today with the boss, he was in "uniform" if someone would have told me only a few years ago I'd be sitting in a cafe having lunch with a Vicar I'd have thought they were utterly barking mad lol Lunch was very nice, company was good, conversation was hilarious, I really enjoyed myself.

elricc Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Lots of snow, trudging around Ipswich with teenagers, and then to the cinema to watch a really boring film about vampires, then we ate in a restaurant together, where the lovely restauranteur had given us half price. Most of my kids hadn't been in a restaurant before, and I was very worried that they would kick off as they were anxious, but they were brilliant.and to the car park who let us park for free all day. There is a lot of goodwill about, it's lovely and my kids really appreciate it.Makes me happier about there future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 if id have known tesco did that with their subsitutions, I wouldnt have clicked 'none'. after me ringing the complaints about the bleach leaking over things, ive had an email survey and now they have rung me. I think they are worried about being complained about lol. it is annoying they they offered a refund but not replacement. refund is nice but I cant get out for the stuff that was ruined Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacobean Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Evening Glad the run came together Owl. They normally do. Julia that's lovely and I hope things are sorted for you all very soon. Hope Spud's lump was harmless and he's feeling a lot better soon. It rained in Lymm in the afternoon but was very chilly out. I went for another Xmas lunch. There wasn't a soul out when I was walking dogs tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wendbert Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Missy RMF: My boiler that was put in last month is playing up. I've managed to get hold of the plumber who installed it but still not happy thank you to Mindy for 'holding my hand' over the phone while I twiddled with knobs and valves to get it started again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
