    I have loads of postcard albums - they might do the trick, would hold apgs and pops too.

    I'm writing a list of 50 tips on couponing in the UK. I'm up to number 40 but was wondering if anyone had something they would defo include? x
    :D Coupons = the only money we can legally print for ourselves:D

    :j A coupon for a free item that is price glitched in Mr T's to be cheaper than Sada for an apg = HEAVEN :j

    :money: total = £47.48 cc = 413 selling stuff = £23.00 Floor pennies = £5.79

    *looks about* What did I miss?!

    Some of you might remember that my external hard drive went tits up and some plonker in Aberdeen wanted to charge me £700+ to retrieve my travel pics of it. Well Today I have 95% of my pics back at a fraction of the cost :D

    Iceland pic (just because I can :))

    Update with school

    Thank you everybody for all your support I feel very lonely at the moment and can't seem to find a way out.

    School are trying there best with resources in place. He has been referred by the doctor to see a peadiatrician (I know I have spelt that wrong) and they are the only people who can officially diagnose certain conditions. An Education Psychologist is going into school tomorrow morning to observe my son and then come back to mine so we can discuss things. Dependent on her observations she will advise if we need to go down the route of getting our son statemented. Last Wednesday he went completely mad at school trying to hit and kick teachers and started throwing chairs around, The were very worried for everybody's safety and especially our son. The reason the head chose to exclude him was to get urgent help as quickly as possible, she is probably going to get into trouble for doing what she done but it has started the ball rolling.
    The upsetting part in all of this is until statemented there is no funding therfore no 1 on 1 for my son which he needs. I asked approximately how long it takes for this process and they advised at least 6 months:(
    I know the school are doing all the can with the resources provided to them but the next 6 months are going to be really tough.
    They think he has Dyspraxia and Asperges and if diagnosed so much more help will be available.
    As part on the reintegration into school we are going to stagger it in stages and mornings are generally a happy time for him I am picking him up at 1 xxx

    Sorry I have rambled on a bit it just helps to write things down.

    Thanks to everybody it means a lot xxxxx


    so sorry that things are hard at the moment but at least by being accesed you will get the help you both need, its so upsetting that funding often gets in the way i hope they get it sorted for you quickly to help you son x

    was feeling sorry for myself as still poorly and convinced doctor is trying to kill me after ending up with second lot of antibiotics that i am allergic to and last time i took i ended up in hospital, (was just about to take one when oh noticed ) and my new inhaler turned out to be faulty so could not use,,
    but reading here helps me realise how lucky i am my oh and ds2 and ds3 have looked after me really well even today when they had to go to work/ college/ school i had fire lit huge log pile brought in and coal bin filled up and tea in bed..(thats on top of feeding all the animals and watering my greenhouse ) dd1 phoned to say she was poping round and what shopping did i need shopping and i also got a huge bunch of flowers...

    so big big hugs for all those that are poorly, feeling lonely or just a bit down:A:A

  • my favourite childhood programme was button moon

    I remember that. I really loved the Clangers and Rhubarb & Custard. :D
    Is anyone considering switching energy suppliers? Listening to Martin on This Morning I thought I would have a look. U switch came out cheaper with an option with a fix rate until 2014 but reviews are poor. I'm currently with eon. I'm hoping to find a good deal and use Quidco for some cashback.

    I've been with Eon for years and had no problems with them. I keep thinking I should switch but I hear horror stories of some people having to pay massive monthly direct debits. :eek: I prefer to just pay when my bill comes in. I've had the boiler switched off all summer and am holding out switching it back on, but starting to feel the cold now. :o

    Oooh that looks great. I don't have that many coupons but I just use a cheapy A6 sized photo album at the moment.
