    Hi all...

    popped out with DH earlier to fill car and to book it in for paint job next week and we stopped and had breakfast...so that's me wiped out now.

    watched the budget and it seems pretty fair and nothing too bad in it...could've been alot worse.

    Glad you've had a nice day.

    Ocado don't normally send substitutes, but if they do they text you with them. I use them as they have the best range of gluten free food from any of the shops but whatever you do DO NOT sign up for the free delivery on demand service (IIRC about £50 a year) and you will soon see if you don;t order for a week or 2 they will send you codes for 15% off all your shopping - I shop every couple of weeks and I was getting loads of these, then I signed up for the delivery scheme in Jan as was half price and since then I've not had a voucher. I will not be renewing this ......

    Hi Taxi,

    Sorry I wasnt around to wish you well but I was thinking of you x

    Fingers crossed for the decision - many years ago when Critical Illness was first invented I was the only Admin staff in a huge UK company to deal with the paperwork with the underwriters - the bosses thought that it would be ages before the first claim came in - just over 1 month later I got one. It was a very odd feeling to deal with the claim knowing what that person was going through but hoping that we could make a difference.

    Thanks for the info...I did my shopping with a 15% off code...

    If they are good then I think I'll do my shopping with them when needed.I've never done grocery shopping online before..
    I didn't sign up to the on demand as didn't know whether I'd be using them again.

    I don't even know what happens when they deliver but will find out tomorrow..lol

    I'm sure they won't! At least they only have 5 days to make a decision, means that they can't leave you hanging around.
