    They have been giving them out all week and as I am in town every day on my lunch hour and they keep giving me them I have loads - don't have to buy deoderant for ages now!!!!! :j

    It would have been nice if you had posted this during the week so the rest of us could have benefitted - not posted that you have loads after the promotion has finished and its too late. Not in the spirit of MSE.

    Get over it. I don't get online every day.
    Our dream has come true... :D
  • I went shopping in CMK yesterday and parked in the free part on north Row - behind the job centre - i retuned to my car to find that some thieving !!!!!! had ripped my number plates off. I have reported it to the police and now have to waste my hard earned money on obtaining new ones.
    So be careful everyone! :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

  • My new number plates cost me 40 quid from Halfords :eek:

    Ouch! Hope that this is the least of your problems. My husband's colleague had the plates from his car cloned and he started getting parking/speeding tickets from all over the place and London congestion zone charges. The only way he managed to prove it wasn't his car was by demanding photographic evidence of the speeding tickets. The 'phony' car turned out to be a saloon whereas the genuine one was an estate and at that point he was believed. A lot of aggro sorting it out though.

  • Hi slinky - the police told me that I may get demand notices etc. but I should just return them with a short note telling them that I reported the plates stolen on 27/10. and give them the police crime number.

    If any one is Buying Petrol, Shell garage on the H3 at Stacey Bushes has reduced to 99.9p litre!

    I'm probably preaching to the converted, however I'll carry on, just in case readers aren't aware of petrolprices.com - you can sign up for a regular update on fuel prices in your area. The latest email I received showed Wolverton Tesco's are the cheapest at 94.9p per litre and I guess all three Tesco's in MK will be the same, so that's the place to go! :)

    Please be careful at the H3 Shell by Bradwell Abbey. My dad very recently had his card cloned there. Lot of problems caused by it!!
    This is my signature. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
