    Morning paw sniffers,

    Just want to say.... frequent:eek::eek:

    and aau I was wondering that about the magi coupons and the op buying Chicago town pizzas:)

    It's funny how we analyse everyone else's shop.......

    twas me that bought the chicago town pizzas, reason being, my daughter is in the middle of having her new kitchen fitted and can only cook in the microwave at the minute and grandaughter loves these pizzas.
    Plus they are also on multibuy, so if it had been a glitchy day i reckon we would have all been buying them as we would have been paid to take them away.
    I do have a "tidy stash" of the Dr Oetker pizzas ready for her new freezer when it is finished.
    It`s nice to be important, but its more important to be nice.

    Could a kind soul please tell me what the activia glitch is in As?
    I'm off for a morning womble after the school run and thought I'd grab some this time as we need yogurts.
    I think it's buy in 10s but not sure which flavours compare and if it's still running?
    TIA :)

    If anyone can help me out i will love you forever :D

    It just never occured to me she could subscribe to something. I assumed (wrongly) that you would need to enter your itunes password to make an in-app purchases

    I've read about getting your service provider to block any and all reverse charge text messages. I might get that set up

    My 2 year old grandson managed to subscribe to something at £4.50 a month on his dad's Iphone :eek::eek: It was soon stopped and he is no longer allowed to use the Iphone - they just let him use the Ipad which apparently is linked to a different account without a card.

    When DS was that age there is no way on this earth I would have let him sit unsupervised with something like an Iphone or Ipad, it would have lasted about 2 seconds (even if it had existed then :rotfl::rotfl:), but he sits on the sofa playing games on the Ipad. Not something I would encourage but I am NOT going to be an interfering nanny, they will find out soon enough that it is not a good idea and he should be playing out or throwing his cars around the room :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    yes, that is right, watch the rhubarb... it does not compare.

    buy 10 in asda, and you can throw in a couple of the Dr Oekter Pizzas too if you have vouchers.;)
    you could also buy the walkers ridge crisps on this shop, 2 for £3 in Asda, (multibuy not showing!) £1 each in Sainbugs
    1x plain choc hob nobs and1x milk choc hob nobs is also a good one to throw into this shop as on multibuy in Asda but cheaper in Sainbugs.

    Good morning, all.

    Catch up time. DS! went to the school breakfast club with little fuss this morning but made it on his terms with the "I've been good this morning therefore I don't have to go tomorrow do I?" - I've paid for him for today and tomorrow and said that if he improves and keeps behaving he can have the house key again on Monday to let himself in and out for school.

    Here is a link, but like i said, not sure if it is available in your area.
    http://www.pmnw.co.uk/
    Thanks very much for this. I too am in Yorkshire. I'll check the link at lunch when it's not blocked. I contacted my point of contact at social services last night but as yet they've not been back to me. The police have not been on to us yet either.

    Those suggesting I take it all away; the wife agrees with you but I'm struggling with it. I know that by doing that I am practically leaving him with nothing to do other than to misbehave. He is at a stage where he has "nothing else to lose". It upset his mum that he went to his room last night and went on XboX so I do feel like removing it but I'm worried I would cause myself more trouble.

    Sorry if I seem to be ranting, but I've had this experience, and my kids have all gone on to be ok.
    This sounds familiar. I would ask though, were you OK with them leaving one by one, as I see this happening for the exact same reasons you describe - in that we set rules - but I don't see them going on to be valuable members of society this way.
    Morning all. I might take a little walk out to Tesco for DTD opportunities this morning. I'm after a telly for the bedroom. Wanted to use clubcard vouchers but there seems to be no way of doing that. So I will go and have a gander and report back.
    10 ways was reporting some Telly's reduced to £30 for a 22" HD. Good luck on your hunt!

    Logie How's the head this morning?! :D:beer:

    Nanny Glad to hear things have been made a little easier.
    AAU1 Sorry to hear about your phone trouble. Download an app called
    "SWiss army knife" I find it very useful and what's more; no add banners!
    Marrbett Happy birthday!
    Frequent a) thanks for the shop details. b) A Similar thing happened to a colleague in Paris. I was at CIRP meetings and we went out for lunch. The lady next to me started choking on a bit of beef. I just froze, I'm embarrassed to say, the girl to my right called for help in French but even in a packed restaurant, no one came over. In the end her other colleague, a young 21 year old PhD researcher came round and gave her the Heimlich maneuver. The bit came flying out and she gasped for air. It was amazing.

    When they all returned to their lab in California the whole group had first aid training courses. I've since done the same through SureStart for paediatric first aid. You just never know when you'll need it! :A
    I am firmly across the line. I won't impose my values on you if you keep away from mine.
