I received a cheque for £7-23p last Saturday. There was a letter but it just said they were refunding - so.... nothing to blog about after all!!!

Everything we put on these sites is visible all over the world - and I suppose if we all passed on any bad press we could cause a problem.

The wonderful people over at Blurb have given me 3 vouchers worth £30 off a Blurb book and to be in with a chance at winning all you need to do is pop over to my blog 365 to 42 and follow the instructions.

Val - What can I say? Anytime you want to rant here feel free - wish I could have heard you giving it to them straight.... some supermarket staff can be very intimidating!! Geri - my mum sent back a malt loaf once because she found a 'foreign body' - they sent a huge box of cakes - they were amazing and so unexpected. My politeness usually pays off although there are some people who just like to trample it down - for those people, I have my blog!! Be very afraid! :-) Jay – I’ve almost blogged it all already so it would probably be pointless now – I hope they are reading this!!!

I always check on the internet when I'm thinking of buying something new - and there is usually a little blogger out there with a review to help me make up my mind. Daddy P - I don't know what you mean... cunning? ...me? And as for the mascara - you try it - it might suit you ... there is one I wouldn't recommend though.... Baino - I had a reply eventually - suggesting that it could be my fault because 'it can be difficult to apply' but giving me an address to send it to. I have been applying mascara since it was the stuff you had to spit on before rubbing the brush in it and applying so I think I know how it works!!! :-) I prefer YSL mascara but like you I settle for Maybelline now except for this mistake - bought on impulse.... mistake..

It was about 50 years ago and times were hard, when my mother found what looked like a cinder in a tin of soup. She wrote a polite letter of complaint. Weeks went by and she'd forgotten all about it, until one day the postman delivered a huge box of assorted soups and baked beans! (Such delight - you'd have thought we'd won the pools)!

I wonder what will happen. It's better complaining online then in person. I remember taking a bottle of 'fizzy' wine (that wasn't meant to be fizzy) back to a local supermarket. I handed it to the customer services and carried on shopping. I couldn't believe it when I heard the girl being very rude about me to her colleagues....saying I must have tampered with it. I tapped her on the shoulder, she went bright red and I told her in no uncertain terms where to shove my trolley full of shopping....never did my shopping there since. Oh dear that's more of a blog post then a comment! <abbr><em>Val´s last blog post..<a href="http://magnumlady.wordpress.com/2009/07/18/down-by-the-river/" rel="nofollow">Down by the river</a></abbr></em> I’ve never seen a contact form that asked if people were bloggers.

Do a negative product review, but beware, they'll probably be watching for it, so make sure not to say anything libellous. ROFL! I think you should go right ahead and blog.
