Bless him, at least he didn't swallow it

At least he hadn't picked up a toad! You would have been forgiven for thinking he had rabies! Ours was foaming at the mouth but still she went back, again & again to pick it up!

I don't think anyone would have guessed at that!

My wife bought a butterfly feeder from Amazon

It did arrive and it was as described, but it just attracts thousands of ants no matter where you hang it.

Nobody cares Beth!. I was using the Sky NewsApp which is crammed with adverts disguised as news stories. I counted 14 fake ads. I’ve reported all of them scores of times with links, reviews of the scam sites etc etc. They’ll stay on the sites until they stop paying the bills.

Nobody cares how many people are scammed in the meantime.

Frankly, it’s getting totally out of control and it’s disgusting that so called reputable sites like Sky News are allowing this.

So many people upset, disappointed, angry on Trustpilot etc but nothing is ever done.

Also the ‘closing after 46 years, just pay postage…’ supposedly jewellers. What’s up with the Advertising Standards Authority? They’ve been on lots of sites for weeks now.

Right on, Alley1940

Simple thing to do is ignore all google ads.

They are on every website.

Be aware that the fake web page the links go to have fake 5 star reviews …marked as verified U.K. reviews. They are full of words like “mom”, “gotten”. our “block” etc all suggesting they are definitely not written by a British reviewer.

The real reviews are the 1* ones on Trustpilot.

For those who are not aware, the only ads we make are for our own sites Win A Dinner & PMPCompetitions. We also make the ones for our Games & Puzzles page. We add offers from the companies which we are affiliated with. You will know if something is added to the site by us and is a vetted offer because it will have one of our buttons on it that says something like “Shop now” etc.

The rest are Google ads and everyone can be shown something different. You can close these with the little x in the corner of the ad. I am afraid that we have no control about what ads our members get shown/served and each member could have something different. Your browsing history will affect what adverts you are shown, to some extent.

A third party company helps us with the adverts. They set up the advertising space on each page and if something inappropriate or a scam advert slips through Google’s filter, they ask us to ask the members who see it for certain details (listed in this FAQ article: https://help.pickmypostcode.com/article/113-what-to-do-if-you-see-a-dodgy-or-inappropriate-advert) and they will then do their best to find and remove it.

We would recommend that members do their due diligence and research any company before they interact with any Google ad.

Slice thinly for 4 days!

Theremay be a little deviation from the rules today and tomorrow - still got a little bit of coffee cake to finish, and I’m certainly not chucking it. Now, do I eat it all at once or split it into two days?

An expensive way to eat less but if it keeps your fingers out of the cookie jar ....

I find cutting carbs & eating fresh foods works for me but I am normally overweight anyway. I'm not eating my usual stuff just now. Circumstances. However, if I gain any weight, even a kilo, I can feel it so straight away I'm cutting back on carbs, only takes a couple of days to feel much better. Good luck Beth. Tell us how you get on please!

Alley, I have been thinking about it for ages, but always put off by the cost. Having been thoroughly disgusted with myself when I got on the scales, I thought, ‘Right, just do it now’ so I did. I was quite surprised when I did my weekly shop at the end of last week, when I didn’t buy cereal, bread, butter or spread, meat, ready meals, puddings, cakes, cheesecake, biscuits … etc, the cost nearly equals what JanePlan cost. It brought it down to about £15-20/week, which is not bad for a short time.

I could be wrong, but i haven't felt ok since Covid. Everything seems to be a chore. Or is it just getting older, that is the problem. :-(

Good luck Beth , I know where you are coming from . Since Hubby retired he has taken over all the cooking thus my weight has increased . I also have mobility problems , so walking is going round a supermarket holding onto a trolley like my life depended on it 🙈🤷‍♀️. Let us know how you get on please 🥰

Obviously, eat less calories than you burn and you lose weight. The other thing is when you've been out you get the urge to come in the door and eat, if food is taken before or during the time out you're less likely to splurge when you come home, remembering off course not to do both.

Maybe put less extra cream and jam on the bought donuts.🤣🤣

Hope it works for you Beth.

I would like to have the amount of money it cost as stated in the ad to have to spend on my food for 28 days. Lucky if I have half that figure.

Good luck with it, Beth. As Little Owl says, you sound like you get a good amount of exercise already, but maybe combining it with the eating plan will make the difference.

Well, now Jane has got a customer she might stop interrupting my afternoon movies with her ads. You seem pretty active to me, Beth. At least you will have some prepared food in the house for when the weather is bad.

Good lucck with that Beth. I am of the opinion the government should be looking into the stealth tactics of an unknown adversary which has the ability to increase weight and lack of motivation for movement seemingly overnight.

🤣🤣🤣

Agree Mrs. M.

Ewwww 🤢

😂😂
