i feel like a criminal.:o
i have money drying in the conservatory.


i was just putting aload of washing out when some notes fell out of my shorts pockets. i had left £35 in there, so i now have a £20,£10 and a £5 note spread out drying in the conservatory:eek::eek:

i often leave my handbag at home and just take cash with me, that way i am not tempted to put stuff on the card.

Hoping obviously that your DS gets Cambridge, but if not where is the insurance offer?

We are looking at Bristol (if miracles occur) or Manchester (if the sun is shining on us) or tears otherwise.

OH was offered a work trip to Hawaii and they said I could go to.....the date was mid August, and we just have to be here for results...so no trip

Insurance offer is Durham:eek::eek::eek::eek:which is so far away. He was also offered Warwick (Step offer), UCL, and St Andrews. Just relieved he didnt put St Andrews as his insurance;)
Can understand you not going to Hawaii:(DS is in Dorset for results and I've got to go and get him at 9pm and driveback so as he can get his results and start the begging phonecalls to Cambridge if he doesnt pass step;) Things we do for our kids.Good luck to your DS, fingers crossed, I think we live half of the stress with them:o
Mind you on the plus side, if he goes to Durham just think how many T's I'll have to visit:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

The last few pages have been fine for me. Which particular post is it that's causing the problem?

Email fired off to S CS
When did I become so hard to please?! Before MSE, I'd have just thought "oh booger, bit of a waste" etc. now I complain every single time, be it for sub standard items or service.
Go tiger, go tiger :dance::dance:

Quoting my own post (!) but had an email back from S CS following my complaint with a £10 evoucher. yippee

Lol! Hubby has been working nights on a contract in Scotland refurbishing some banks, the other week he moved something & set the alarms off, but they didnt realise because they dont go off in the bank! The cashiers area shut down and they were all scratching there heads as to why the doors wouldn't open to various areas when the police came charging in:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Then last week he needed to move a large wall cabinet the type with big sliding doors but could see down the back of it that it was screwed to the wall, so he slid the door open to get to the screws & was met by bags of thousands of pound coins:eek::eek: He couldnt believe it wasn't locked!!

Ah ok, I see what you mean.

I think it's fine on my laptop because I have a 17 inch screen.
