    Not aiming to start an argument but I've had had my polling card through and now it's real...still haven't made up my mind who to vote for?!?!?!

    I'm going for Cleggy and his merry band of Lib Dems - was a Labour voter for years but Tony Blair and co put me off and Gordon's even worse (for me).
    Couldn't force myself to vote Tory and I really like Vince Cable as well as Cleggy.

    So there you go - my opinion!
  • Hey chaps - sold 4 batches of plants woo hooo

    Rachel - Lib Dem is the only real option where I live - so that's probably my vote although I do have issues with some of the changes they are proposing specifically for Scotland.

    Otherwise I'm afraid I quite like Gordon - honest/dour/scot.

    (Hides behind a wall.)

    The only thing that would get me voting SNP (hides behind a bigger wall) is that they've promised to abolish all Scottish student loans and mine is nearly 14k - selfishly I could put up with SNP for a bit if I was better off in longer term. Although I don't want to be devolved - I don't think - so I probably couldnt vote for them anyway.

    Runs away now - I couldn't vote Tory

    I'd love to vote Green - but I feel like I might be 'wasting' my vote.

    Really sprints off now.

    Just checked survey site and have ordered a £10 Boots voucher - hurrah!:j:j
    Can't decide whether to be practical and spend it on everyday toiletries that are on offer or whether to buy soemthing nice for me for a treat........
    Perhaps getting lots of shower gel, shampoo etc bottles will feel like I'll get more for my money?:o

    I wrote a letter to Muller to complain about yoghurts that the plastic kept breaking on leaving sharp bits in the youghurt. My son almost ate one of the sharp plastic bits. They sent me £5 vouchers today. I'm delighted as we buy loads of yoghurt

    Excellent idea, I've been thinking of doing the same for a while, as those pots are always breaking off wrong and I have to use scissors to cut off the sharp bits...emailed Muller ;)

    I'm going Green for the local elections - they're already the ones in the local seats and we've got a lot more recycle bins around :T Small reason but it means I don't need to trek anywhere with glass bottles! (Don't you love the stress relief of throwing glass bottles in the bin and hearing them smash?!)
