Only ‘stumbled’ across the ELITElate last year (after I was made redundant and had lots of spare time tobrowse) and have become totally addicted. Just want to say a huge thanks to the generosity of everyone who posts,sharing all their valuable info on money saving and other tips. I have already become much more savvythanks to you guys. Also, I love how kindyou all are to one another, well most of the time

Morning all, lovely bright blue sky but frosty car this morning.

Had a corner yog for breakfast, very nice.

Think i need to go get a few more, ds ate 3 yesterday while i was at work.

Need to check if they nut free for dss1 this weekend. Was his birthday yesterday, taking him to Pizza Express with argos gift cards this weekend, as they are safe. Does anyone know any other restaurants - Harvester used to be, but arent any more, and some pubs are good if you talk to them in advance, but it makes it difficult. Trying to find a restaurant for next week that does a vegetarian gluten free choice for dd1 and is nut free for dss1, but struggling!

My mum, 74, has started online dating.... she's got her first date scheduled! (she lied about her age, saying she was 65) :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

happy bithday to yr ds1 :j:j

i used to run a pub and it had a restaruant too and often i wuld get partys phone up to book but needed special meals so i wuld chat to chef and see what he culd coem up with and ring them back to confirm but we culd always help-accomidate meal changes

you will be supriced if you ring around and speack to manager or chef what can be done also if you wanted to go 2 a chain restarant then email head office to see what cna be done most places these days want the custome and shuld bend over backwards for you i would :T

Watch everything on BBCiplayer etc. As long as you are not watching or have recorded anything that is being transmitted live you do not need a TV license.

Think it also needs to be a portable device, so unplugging the laptop and running it off the battery when watching live TV and plugging it in when watching iplayer should be ok.

TV license inspectors cannot enter your property/ dwelling without your permission either. The TV license detector van/ hand-held device is a load of old doo-daa to get you to stump up your £145.50 :cool:

Whether the second part is true or not, the first part should stop them finding you. I suspect a halls of residence address would make them think twice about a visit, though it won't stop mailings to "the occupier of room xx, Halls" in the hope that you will pay.

We can all celebrate Valentines' Day in style then!
