What do you do with the pods. Aluminium or plastic ones?

Recycle, doesn’t everyone?

Would be acceptable, yes. ??

If you go on-line now, it is there in stock. Problem solved, next

All gone now, out of stock again we've all ordered it just to try it out ?☕

oh you naughty gransnetters;
you've caused a run on the market !

I know be careful with saying anything remotely feminist, particularly on a website well known for its feminism

And no-one has mentionned the 'B' word yet!

Tassimo run a recycling scheme for their pods. They send out bags to put them in and if you live in certain areas, they are collected. If not, you can send them back through drop off points. It doesn't cost the consumer anything.

Buy something else, put it in the pink packet, keep quiet and see what happens.
When I worked in a hotel we used Nescafe Instant at double strength if the 'real' coffee ran out - don't think anyone noticed as it was still in the pretty cups with the fancy chocolate on the side!

Ladyripple Because this bullying starts with something very small and gradually one's control goes. I always said that I would not be pushed around but I found myself controlled over everyday things. I was scared to argue with him at all over the past two years of his life when I nursed him through terminal cancer. Too scared that he would leave our house and monies elsewhere and my daughter and I would be penniless. It has taken years to regain my self confidence.

Sadly it has been shown that very few users bother to recycle.

So sorry to hear.

Yes, we have no idea what the OP meant by 'drives me mad'. There are ways and ways...

If he said 'what a pity you couldn't get the other one, I prefer it' or 'what is that much you bought, you useless witch'

'muck'

Gr8dame has mentioned in previous posts on GN that she is her husband’s full time carer. It may seem trivial to dome of us, but for a person who is ill, disabled or housebound it can be a very big deal indeed. It’s horrible when you feel that you are not in control of your own life and can’t have things you like.

That can also be very wearing if you are the carer and every time you try to do something, the cared for chunter on about something that seems trivial to you in the scheme of things.

Yes, it is frustrating for a disabled person not to have what makes him/her happy

It is no excuse to behave like a toddler and throw a tantrum making the carer's life even more difficult

If the personal needs to learn skills for emotional regulation, so be it

The original poster hasn’t reappeared….can’t say I blame her! She asked a fairly simple question…..

Yes, only to find she could be in an abusive marriage!.

I remembered to take the Tesco French inspired dark roast Arabica coffee -strong coffee (number 5 in a pink pack of 10) out of my Tesco shopping basket before I just put the order through so there is at least one packet left in this area!

Now, anyone know why are Yeo Valley yogurts are unavailable in packs of four?

Uncalled for.
Gr8Dame* never said her husband had tantrums or acted like a stroppy toddler.

We don't know if a person has dementia, had a stroke or some other cognitive disorder.

I cared for my DM and yes, it could be frustrating if she suddenly remembered she'd meant to ask me to buy her something when I'd just returned from a shopping trip. From being a gentle, kind, capable woman, she did start to fret about things and might ask the same things more than once.

It's called caring for someone.

Thank you for this. I was not aware.

Absolutely!
Yet again some posters have added 2+2 and made 99.
This tendency to go from 0-60 in as many words undermines the sensible and understanding responses to many dilemmas posted on GN.
LTB/coercive control/dementia? He just doesn’t like the coffee - and it appears the problem (if such it is) has been solved anyway.
I deplore this tendency some people have to be unable to see a without creating a storm in it!

Good post maw.
