Anyone As Bad As Me ?

[Bazile]

I'm always being criticised by her indoors for taking too long to do things .

I've got vouchers and gift cards given to me , which i have not got round to going and spending ( in one case i had to have one reissued , because the time limit of 18 months had elapsed ).

I bought a mobile phone in November , which is still sitting in the box - unopened .

I have a condom from 1981.

I had a £10 gift voucher from a pub chain that I didnt really want to go back to in compensation (long story). I sold it on ebay for a £7.50 buy it now. So buyer happy and me too.

[Bazile]

Unused , i hope :-)

[NoMercy]

I 'ope it's not a use one, Zacs.

[aelmpvw]

still unopened i hope zacs

[Zacs-Master]

I thought that was the whole premiss of the question.

I think I'm worse than you Bazile, I've been given the following vouchers & gifts that I have never used - 2 massages, a Jessame manicure and a falconry experience. I still have unspent Next vouchers from last Xmas.

Lol - stereo

Beat this - i bought a can of pop which had what looked like grease around the seal .
I made a complaint to Trading standards and the company .
The company investigated and returned to me / trading standards with the results , which they say showed that the grease was industrial food grease .

They sent me some vouchers as a goodwill gesture .

I've still not spent them - they are in the house somewhere .

All this was around 15 years ago

"I've still not spent them - they are in the house somewhere ."

So why complain in the first place then?

[Georgiesmum]

I never get given gift vouchers for christmas buut if i did i would definately be so pleased with them that i would spend them straight away.

[Bazile]

I did not make a complaint , because i wanted compensation for the cost of the drink
I wanted to know if i had injested something harmful

[Bazile]

I put up dado rails in the living room , but for some reason which i cant remember now , there was one last bit , about four inches left , in one of the corners to finish off .

It's still not been done - that was 16 years ago .

[Bazile]

I'm ashamed of myself , for that last one

[Zacs-Master]

To what do attribute these 'events' to Baz, forgetfulness, laziness, illness?

[Bazile]

Just on the list to do , Zacs

[Zacs-Master]

That must be one helluva list.

[Bazile]

Actually the reason for the vouchers is that i dont like shopping - i'll gladly give the family money to spend on themselves , but i cant be bothered to go out and buy things for myself , like clothes , untill really needed .

[tamborine]

£30 Focus vouchers to sell on ebay ;)

[boxtops]

I've got a 'to do' list of domestic things, bazile, which will rival your dado rail - but shopping vouchers, no - I can't bear wasting money.
