Most people look for school catchment areas or public transport links :rotfl::rotfl:

My poor dd, we are actually moving further away from the school she will start in Sept but I am sure she understands it is for the greater good. She is an MSEr in training, first thing she does in a Tesco is check for 1p chocolates and she checks anything without an SEL up at the price checker just in case.:D

But in seriousness we are moving further from her secondary school which will mean she will need to bus rather than walk but there is a good side to this as it means she will not be in the house on her own in the morning or after school.

i like the fact there is less traffic to get to work but my boys get so bored and frustrated when don't have playgroup. i would like it more if school holidays meant i was on holiday as well to spend time with the children but have to work

half terms aren't too bad, its the 6 week summer holiday thats too long

Back to work today shall i detour to Asda's to see if they've put more stock out.

After being trouted over the pizzas yesterday i have a new plan for today. Put the 1.79 pizzas through the SS tills one at a time so i wont have to ask the trout to authorise them:D

That's sounds like a plan;)

Busy day today, loads to do but just thinking if I can slip a bit of pizza'ering in with T's this afternoon;) :rotfl:

Asda too far away for me to see 'if' they have any bargains.

Can't wait for asda and morrisons to come to town, won't be long!

Thanks, I wasn't lugging it all the way back home so I just handed it over and got proof of postage. But what use is that if it goes missing? P.O. won't pay out surely because I didn't pay for recorded....

Did you get a certificate of posting, and is the value of the parcel less than £52
?
Recorded does not give you any more protection than normal when it comes to making a claim for a lost/ damaged parcel and is essentially a waste of money. If it is worth more then you need special delivery which costs much more.
Proof of postage is all you need to make a claim.

morning all, some one mention the changing loreal offer online. looks like money to be made. could get some when you are getting the pizzas, with some whoopsies.

the wipes are on two for 1 as is the makeup remover so, two coupons means paid two pound to take them away.

or asda is 3 for 6 pound so use coupons there and then get apg.

I will have a go in asda i think, will buy some cheap value toliet stuffs to make it comparable.
