Quick question if anyone can help. I haven't done a whoopsie shop on a Saturday, are the times generally the same or a bit later? TIA.

I'd be interested in knowing this too....and whether saturday evenings or Sunday afternoons are better.
I've not been to T's for 2 weeks now and I must use my JTD before it expires!
Dunno why....but I think I've lost my mojo at the moment. I'll have to see if I can find it

The Father's Day SELs have an expiry date of 24/06/2012 here, does that mean we're looking at a further reduction on Monday? :think:

Not sure if this is just me but...

DS1 has informed me that it is their school prom on Thurs (loads of notice as usual) and tickets are £32:eek:. He is also saying he wants me to pay for the hire of a dinner suit for the event, I am saying no. He has several perfectly good suits, one of which was bought for him only 2 months ago. The reason for this is that he had a prom last year Y11, where I went the whole hog, hired the suit, bought the bow tie and wing collar shirt etc, this was the end on Y11. He will be having a Y13 celebration (prom/party etc) to mark the end of sixth form/school. I just don't get why there is a Y12 prom, don't mind him going but have refused to hire the suit.

I certainly don't think so, between school and kids they think money grows on trees. Less than a week notice, no good.

Sorry...

This time, your shop would have been £ 7.36 cheaper at Asda so we'll give you a voucher for the difference back!**

Nope you're not a bad mum, it is getting ridiculous the amount of money these proms cost. My DS is yr6 and they are having a formal prom. One of the mum's wanted to hire a limo between us for 4 hours to take them and bring them back:eek::eek: I don't know why yr12 isn't just an end of year party. Surely prom's should just be when leaving:cool:

Like you said it is getting ridiculous and thats exactly what I thought about the Y12 Prom, I don't get it.

That one tripped me up as well. The 12p barcode reported was 34008 not 34088.

Ah that's where I went wrong then!

Was half thinking about whoopsie shopping tonight but the heavens have opened and I don't fancy taking DD out in it, we got caught in it earlier and got soaked so don't much fancy a repeat. Think I'll wait 'til tomorrow when I'll get peace to go by myself
