When I pay for an item in store with a card. The amount is taken from my account instantly. But if I need a refund, particularly if the item is faulty. Why does it take many working days to return my money ???

That's the bank. They take it as a pending payment from your account instantly, then it takes a couple of days to reach the store. Then if you need it back it works in reverse.

Where I used to work, if people did click and collect the bank would take the pending payment instantly. If there was then an issue and the order had to cancelled, the payment would still be pending for a couple of days until the bank released it back to the customer. There was absolutely nothing we could do about this, but the abuse we would get from people was horrendous. Orders were only cancelled if the item was missing or had arrived damaged, we weren't doing it for a laugh. Paypal payments were the worst, because Paypal can take up to 30 days to refund people's money.

I’ve suddenly started experiencing restless leg syndrome. My god, it makes me want to chop off my legs. It’s usually when I’m trying to sleep, but it’s come on this morning (I’ve been awake since 5am) and it’s driving me mad.

Try this from a company called Sweet Bee (order on line). You massage it into the soles of your feet at night. It’s brilliant.

I’m going to sound like a right witch here but children opening other people’s presents, especially when they are related to you! One year, I didn’t have a lot of spare cash so I got my brother a jokey handmade present that was like an inside joke thing between me and him but one that I knew he would love. He’s a grown man but I really wanted to see him open his gift to see his reaction.

Popped round on Christmas Day to give gifts to him, my sister in law and niece. Give my brother his and my niece kicks off crying that she wants to open it. I’m like “erm, no that’s daddy’s present, look auntie flip flop got you this” so it was clear that I wanted him to open his own damn present. She’s old enough to understand but no my sister in law goes “oh she’s opened all of our presents so she might as well open this one as well!”

Niece opens present, while I’m quietly ticked off. I know she’s just a kid and my niece ffs but I haaaaaate it when children aren’t told no at the best of times and this whole opening other peoples presents just feels so disrespectful to the person who has taken the time, thought and effort to get YOU that present.

They’ve since had my nephew and this continues with my niece “helping” him to unwrap his present even though he’s perfectly capable to unwrapping it himself. My mum is also irritated by it as it certainly wasn’t something we did growing up, you opened your own presents end of! Dreading Christmas this year as I’m almost tempted to drop off the presents early so they don’t see me clenching my teeth!

Do they also get the other kid a present on the sibling's birthday? I hate that.

They're making trouble for themselves there. What do they plan to say to her when her brother is older and doesn't want her helping him? Or at a friend's birthday party when she wants to "help" them open their presents or blow out their candles?

Non Christmas related annoyance - when someone texts someone else on a tv show or film and you see the text on the phone after its sent, and there's no other texts as if they've never text previously despite being siblings/partners/friends

On a sort of related note, the most unlikely people have each other's phone numbers on soaps. I don't watch them much anymore but that always used to strike me. 😁

I seem to get it every evening these days, it’s absolutely awful. Apparently magnesium is meant to help but I’ve also heard people say it gives you nightmares, so I’m reluctant to try.

I've seen adverts for this and contemplating getting it, do you genuinely feel the difference? Do you think it helps with sleep?
