    Ie if you fill two cars at the same pump one after another are they both eligible for the discount?

    A professional shopper would buy 2 identical cars, Fiat Multiplas for example ;) Fill Multipla 1, create a distraction in the shop while swapping for Multipla 2, and...

    Does a money off petrol voucher only apply to one tank.

    We’ve got 2 Smart diesels on the fleet now; They share parking spaces (we put 2 in one space, then pay for 1 ticket) :money:

    We also fill them up together, and have always got away with it....Even though one’s black and the other one’s white :eek:

    One’s also signwritten in OH’s company (a bar), and the black one’s got my company signwriting.....It makes quite a few people laugh!

    Don't minor convictions drop off your record after a few years?

    Unless it wasn't that minor and you were doing 100mph, drinking and talking on the phone at the same time.

    The fastest I’ve been caught at was 104, whilst on the phone, and was lucky to get away with 3 points :eek:

    And not any more, I lose my ‘criminal’ record at 100. It’s an embarrassing thing to have on a CRB check, but it’s there, and it’s not too serious! :eek:

    Finding a divorce solicitor for someone else is HARD. Not as hard though, as living in a home where you think your pc has a keylogger thingy on it and you do not feel secure using the phone :(

    Account has been emptied too. Its a really nasty story coming out that i cannot relate now here, but it says something that we have given a key to our home to be used at any time. From the partners role i think my friend is right not to trust any of the communication in their home, and instead use ours.

    Sorry, I read that wrong :(

    That’s a horrible thing to go through, and it’s occasionally simple things like phone bills being linked (OH and I do this) that could make the problem worse.

    IMO, friend is right to be using someone else’s communications.

    Dh and i are linked in everything. I have a maiden name account for which he has all on line access info, and similarly he has two accs i am not on but can access if i want to. Our phones are one contract....cannot think wha else, but we are a team. If that broke down i cannot imagine what i would do, where i would turn for help. :(

    A i just dipped strawberries in marbled cholate for him, and he has run me a bath, i think thinfs are ok for now here.

    Edit: unless he decides he wants someone to be a typist as well as wife.

    My best friend's mother is now about 90. She's a truly lovely lady, whom I am very fond of. When her husband died, she had to be taught how to write out a cheque. He had just taken care of everything. He was a difficult man, but he got things done.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
