    Tenth Anniversary Combo Breaker Xmas Saver!
    Time for me to get some sleep, I've been doing a summer scheme since Monday which included taking them up the Cavehill to the Zoo so am totally exhausted but got a meeting tomorrow about it and not looking forward to it because a lot of it is going to be about the !!!!!ing that's been going on since I came back.
    Basically one of the other volunteers has decided that she has final say on everything so has been more or less trying to exclude the newer volunteers by telling them they're not needed! I've already been told that I won't be needed for a trip on Monday because her and another guy are going as they are the only ones doing the whole 4 weeks!!!!!! All I can say is that she has a shock in store tomorrow when she finds out that a rota is being done for them all now due to the way she's been getting on. I don't need to worry as I've always dealt with the same age group so that won't be changing unless I want it to.

    Anyway enough of my rambling AGAIN
    Goodnight all

    I will say goodnight to all now as I just know I will probably fall asleep before I have finished. Been a long day which did not finish brilliantly. :(

    Thanks

    Boo, they never wrote that on the 5p ones,I hate clever clogs who do their job right. Reckon they'd notice!!!!!

    I wonder what the average tank holds that I could get away with??

    Jerry can, now Ive got 2 of those what do they hold?

    If you run a diesel then just get yourself in the Q so you are at the rear of the two pairs of pumps so not totally obvious to the cashier and fill at least 1 (if not 2) 25 litre drums as well as your tank. Its very safe to do this but ONLY with diesel....its not really on to do it with petrol unless you are experienced as a mechanic etc and understand highly volatile fuels.

    Then take the containers home directly (do not let them sit in the back of your car for the next 4 hours in 30 degrees of heat), place them in a cool garage and just slacken off the lids a smidgen just to allow any pressure to balance. Job done :)

    I stil think this is a rubbish deal!

    Sorry, no slur on you, and thanks for sharing..........its just that every year people flag this deal up on HUKD as being the muts nuts...hounds danglies....dogs rollocks etc yet really compared to the full size bottles its not very good at all IMO.

    Theres 5 off 40 till spits lying around everywhere so effectively you can buy 18 BIG bottles for circa 40 quid or a whopping £2.22 a bottle for something thats usually 6 quid or more. Far better value than a thimble full for 90p.

    In my drunken opinion of course............ :A
