    Hi
    I know I saw a deal for shandy (the same as the beer?) on here but ca't find it. Can anyone help?

    Farmville I will be on the lookout for the S mags now the deals back on... some will be for you!

    jax xx

    Coupon for £1 on the same page of the mag

    6 x 330ml can pack £2.99 in S
    Just £1 in A

    7 x 6packs = £20.93 less 7 £1 coupons = £13.93

    = £10 capped BM voucher (should be £13.93) - so not free or as good as the lager - COST £3.93

    Alternatively just buy 6 (£17.94 - £6 = £11.94) so still a £10 BM - COST £1.94
    OR
    5 (£14.95 - £5 = £9.95) so a "FULL - no wastage" BM of £9.95

    Just need to find £2.06 worth of other goods OR £5.05 in the second case to make the £20 minimum BM spend ...Shandy :beer: COST 0p :j :D

    BUT they MUST NOT be cheaper in A - or you'll compromise your BM refund

    Obviously you will still be paying for the other goods :(

    Morning Everyone :)

    Can I just ask at what age you would allow your children to go to the corner shop or the park with a friend but no adult? It's difficult wanting to give them independence while still keeping them safe.

    I'm sure I used to go to the corner shop at about 9-10 on my own, and was often out playing with friends (who lived up my street) around the same age, my friend was a year older but her brother was a couple of years old than that. Our road wasn't on a main road, but ones nearby were. The main thing is that we were always taught / told where we / were not allowed to go and the boundaries and knew that there would be consequences if we didn't stick to those, even if we were out of sight. I guess it's judgement of how sensible they are and how much they have listened to what they have been taught - for instance my dad used to take me and my friend on cycle rides on some quite busy / long routes aged about 7 /8, so we gained our road sense to apply when we were on our own IYSWIM?

    Keep that lovely dress for your hen do PM, hopefully you can wear it on honeymoon too (unless you're taking an Arctic cruise, then I wouldn't recommend it :)). We all need one or two nice frocks in our wardrobe and this is a special occasion.

    As i said, try not to stress about the wedding - the day goes so quickly once it arrives you won't even have time to worry about little details - just remember the words 'I do' :D

    Ooh PM........how exciting for you though I know you will be nervous.

    As long as you have something to wear, OH something to wear, bridesmaid/s/best man or witnesses, rings, a bouquet, somewhere to get married you will be fine.

    Have you got lists of everything?

    I may have missed it before so apologies if I have and you have to repeat yourself.
