Why do many people leave things to last minute
My friends work in food retail and some lines of Easter eggs were out of stock on Wednedsay.

Her role was to put out more eggs and tidy…

Red Spotted Hanky
Just a warning (and a bit of a vent), I ordered and paid for rail tickets in Dec 13 from red spotted hanky, which did not arrive. When I contacted them they said the tickets were not available, and I could only have a refund if I could proved that I had paid. As I refuse to kowtow to their incompetence, we have had a…
