Question is, will you do that?
I will!
But whatâs really annoying, Iâm using a gift card towards it, so will need to wait for the refund to be put on before I can reorder. (If I was just using my credit card I would order at the new price now and then reject the first one when it is delivered).
Means I wonât be sitting watching TV on a huge screen until next weekend!
But will it drop again for Prime Day July 11/12th and annoy you again?
Iâve been trying to buy a suit now for what feels like months, ready for a wedding at the end of July. All I wanted was something light, a linen blend, that isnât pastel coloured. Everywhere Iâve looked is either cream or beige, pastel coloured, they donât have linen/linen blends or they have no stock because Iâm a normal human size.
Moss Bros had one in their sale so I bought that, only for them to email me telling me theyâd sent the jacket and waistcoat but not the trousers âdue to an admin error in our warehouseâ. I went in store to see if they had any, and that store didnât but they told me one 50 mins from me did. They put a hold on them, and I drove up after work 2 days later to be told theyâd never had that instruction and had sent them all back 
I bought one of Asos in the end as they had it in stock - despite both being the same labelled size the jacket is too big and the waistcoat too small. How can that be?
Why is it so hard to buy a suit that doesnât make me boil?
Have you tried Slaters? Iâve always found them useful and they normally tailor it for you without extra cost.
My current suit is a 3-piece tailored outfit that only cost around ÂŁ100.

When is a Form 492 not a form 492?
When it is a HSEP Form 8.
When you open the file on SharePoint, there is no mention of HSEP 8 Just 492. Way to go safety centre. Making life easier since 1974

When your GP sends you for a blood test but says âbut you wonât be able to book it for 3 weeksâ. So you wait 3 weeks and try and book it.
What he actually meant was âthere is a 3 week wait - so if you book today, you wonât get it for 3 weeksâ.
So now I have a blood test booked⌠6 weeks after the original referral!!

The lads surgery has been pushed back. 
Now July 31st. So another four weeks.
Itâs been pushed back for a valid reason at least, but the prospect of a decent nightâs sleep was so closeâŚ

Eugh, another British Canoeing remote standardisation. Muchos video faff.
Spending ~2 hours manually extracting cadet emails for an event this weekend⌠152 takes a long time to grab.
Good job I have a wing role account!
Was the send to staff or to parents?
If it was to staff, thereâs a 2-second way to do it using Excel.
Send to 152 cadets
Staff also added in but they are a doddle as in the GAL
I thought you could produce a contact sheet from SMS events? Assuming all the cadets are on the SMS event, canât you go to the event and generate that? Or am I thinking of something else?
Contact report only has phone numbers.
Would be really helpful if it also had email, even if only in the CSV export.
GMG: post-holiday blues. Take me back to trekking along past Welsh waterfalls again!
something to raise to the appropriate development group??
No point. As I understand thereâs basically no development on SMS in favour of the new events system when it eventually lands.

Yet another new system and sunk dev cost when we could just hop on to WestminsterâŚ
perhaps it will raise an item on the âto-do-listâ of the new system to encourage the function?

Indeed. A system like this should be sending the emails for us, not creating a load of work for humans to complete.
