    Its wrong if you are required to purchase items above the value of the allowance - Ive never had this happen yet - its the fee that makes me laugh - but yes - no washing up is deffo a bonus in my book too.
    I will easily manage to get a nice meal for the fee but hubby will complain that he is still hungry as the portions are tiny,he will just have to put is hand in his pocket and pay the extra.Lol :rotfl:

    Nothing to do with MSing but I just read this and thought I would share it with you all:-
    "Be kind to unkind people. They are shallow, spiteful and insecure, seeking attention by slighting others. Pity them for they know not the value of loyalty, trust and true friendship."

    Oh how true is that !!



    Love it toally true
    "Very funny, Scotty. Now beam down my clothes." :cool:


    All truth goes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Then, it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident.

    How very true. I get stung into paying bills in restaurants and always have to have a decent feed when I get home.

    Seems to me I am paying for flowers on the table, a table cloth, something I am told is a thing called "ambiance" but not a lot of food.

    PLUS, they never put out any ketchup AND make you wait between courses.

    So your hubby is on the right track there.

    Ketchup is for greasy spoons not restaurants:rotfl:

    Because not everyone is as smart as you, and may not know what town/city their postcode area belongs to, as the poster who was posting at the same time as when i posted my list.

    Just because you understand it doesn't mean everyone does.

    I posted the list to help people, perhaps I should bother if people are just going to criticise :mad::mad::mad:
    I found your post very helpful:T Obviously like most people I know all of my local postcode areas. However I travel around the country quite a bit and your list helped to find some places I may have otherwise struggled to locate.

    If someone is doing a job for those who mustn't be named this weekend, could they PM me after they've done it pls? It's the first one of this type of job I've done for them and suspect I need to mark them down on something, but not sure.

    TIA
