Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area. (Link permitted by forum team)
Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.

£2 up.
Your assuming that the tank will be empty, I don't get through a tank in 2 weeks, so that may not be so.
In any case, going to sainsbury's probably means a coffee in the adjoining M&S, so that is the £2 spent.I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Yes he is.
He says thank you Lydia:). He says he looks better when he's at his summer weight. His words not mine. He looks pretty good to me, but it's funny, because he's not what I would have described as my type, yet now I can,t imagine someone more lovely looking. Love does that to people

Ay, DD was Oop North and it was a lot cheaper. DS preferred the other end of the country.
You take your pick, make your choice..... and pay for it (or we do

My room was either 75 or 100 I can't remember now. We had the single rooms with wet rooms that are more common now, but we're still a bit of a novelty then, but no choice, all but a very few doubles were reserved for non he students. Explains why after a year in halls so many of us were ready to flat share. We had a fair few students whose parents bought houses locally too, the area had a mini property boom disproportionate because of the expansion there. A number of people commuted too, either mature students with families or people who just lived within an hour or two. For a very short while I commuted 100 miles or so, because I needed to be somewhere else at night.0 -

Loaded question.
If I had the opportunity to earn more by doing more work then pro-rata it would a lot, some stupid amount.
But I don't. So the income is what it is and the rest of the time is mine So the margin hourly rate is zero. I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Still, it's a £2 pound coffee you wouldn't have enjoyed at the other garage!
I used to panic every time my petrol light came on, thinking I had about half-a gallon left, but checked it on the internet and found there's ten litres left at that point, so I tend to look around for a good price without worrying about running out and do a big fill

By midnight tonight ..... I want you to come up with a good story and alibi (evidence if possible) of where you were between 7pm and 9pm on Wednesday 9th January 2008.
Let's see how many secret murderers we're harbouring here..... those without an alibi!
i was at dinner with my girlfriend in med kitchen, 50 - 51 St Martins Lane, London, WC2N 4EA.
i doubt she would be able to corroborate though as i only know this by looking on my toptable.co.uk booking history (we have dinner every wednesday night which enabled me to narrow it down to being at dinner somewhere with her!)
