    Does the dettol wipes compare at Tesco? £2 each & 50% cashback but 2 for £2 as Asda - therefore buy 2 in Tesco for £1 after PP & CB.
    Anyone tried it yet?

    Looks like Mrs S tried it on the 24th and came back N/A. Can't see that anyone has tried since


    1x DETTOL A/BAC SURFACE WIPES 36S £2.00 n/a £2.00 £2.00

    Cheeky beggars have done me out of 50p on the dettol wipes, one to watch out for peeps.

    Yea, I remember HC posting pics of when you dumped your stuff in his flat :rotfl::rotfl:
    You sold the house yet?

    Na :(

    Think people love their amenities and services on hand too much. 50 acres is perfect for a couple who want to be come self sufficient but those types of 'hardy' people are becoming more scarce :( Most people are now growing up with everything close to hand, internet speed that whizzes along, jobs that offer a secure income and hands that have never seen a callus in their life etc

    There are a few million pound plus farms on the market near us and they are not getting much interest either, yet the price of land continues to rise (?) They reckon £4000/per acre in Scotland :eek:

    And probably a bit of a bonus.....
    If you own agricultural property and it's part of a working farm, you can pass on some of your property free of Inheritance Tax in your will or before you die.
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

    I'm feeling all Scottish and Brave heart today

    I'm quitting my second job. I hate it with a passion, the so called disgusting piece of carp chef treats me like dirt. The place is disgusting I don't even eat the free food :eek:

    I only took it on cause hours short at own job, OH was facing redundancy. Kept it on for the house move. Sounds a bit ungrateful but no matter what I do its wrong so I give up. Funny I can run an office but not pack bags in a takeaway apparently. Now all big bills and fees paid, OH new contract and hours increased at own job, I'm out of there

    This has just been shared on my FB

    An important message from the Police - please pass this along to all the women you know.....

    This actually happened a few weeks ago on the M3 FLEET SERVICES!!!

    It was early evening, and a young girl stopped to get petrol. She filled her tank and walked into the store to pay for her petrol.. The cashier told her, 'Don't pay for your petrol yet......walk around the store for a while, and act as if you're picking up some other things to buy. A man just got into the back of your car. I've called the police, and they're on their way'.

    When the police arrived, they found the man in the back seat of the girl's car and asked him what he was doing. He replied, he was joining a gang, and the initiation to join is to kidnap a woman and bring her back to the gang to be raped by every member of the gang. If the woman was still alive by the time they finish with her then they let her go. According to the police that night, there is a new gang forming here, originating from London . The scary part of this is, because the guy didn't have a weapon on him, the police could only charge him with trespassing....

    He's back on the street and free to try again. Something similar to this happened at the Tesco garage on Cardiff Road in Newport recently, but luckily the cashier saw the man get into her car. Please be aware of what's going on around you, and warn your family and friends.

    LADIES, you or one of your family or friends could be the next victim. Please forward this on to everyone you know. Please do not discard this message; it is very important that everyone knows what is happening. Please be careful when leaving your vehicle, and make sure it is ALWAYS LOCKED to prevent this from happening to you.

    FROM THE MET POLICE
    In light of the recent kidnapping and now murder of Leigh Mathews, I think it is important to read the following info for your own safety. Things women should know to stay safe: Please take the time to read these pointers. There may be just one or two you hadn't thought of. After reading this, forward it to someone you care about. It never hurts to be careful in this crazy world we live in.

    1. Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, do!

    2. if a robber asks for your handbag, DO NOT HAND IT TO HIM. Toss it away from you..... He is probably more interested in your handbag than you, and he will go for the handbag. RUN LIKE MAD IN THE OTHER DIRECTION!

    3. if you are ever thrown into the boot of a car: Kick out the back tail lights, and stick your arm through the hole and start waving. The driver won't see you, but everybody else will. This has saved lives.

    4. Women have a tendency to get into their cars after shopping, eating, working, etc, and just sit (doing their cheque book, or making a list). DON'T DO THIS! A predator could be watching you and this is the perfect opportunity for him to get in on the passenger side, and attack you. AS SOON AS YOU GET INTO YOUR CAR LOCK THE DOORS AND LEAVE.

    5. A few notes about getting into your car in car park:
    a) Be aware: look around you, look into your car, look at the passenger side floor, and check the back seat.
    b) If you are parked next to a big van, enter your car from the passenger door. Most attacker’s surprise their victims by pulling them into their vans while the women are attempting to get into their cars.
    c) Look at the car parked on the driver's side of your vehicle, and the passenger side. If a male is sitting alone in the seat nearest your car, you may want to walk back into the shop, or work, and get guard/policeman to walk you back out. IT IS ALWAYS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY. (And better paranoid than dead.)

    6. ALWAYS take the lift instead of the stairs. Stairwells are horrible places to be alone, and the perfect crime spot.

    7. if the predator has a gun and you are not under his control, ALWAYS RUN! The predator will only hit you (a running target) 4 in 100 times; and even then, it most likely WILL NOT BE A VITAL ORGAN.

    8. As women, we are always trying to be sympathetic:
    STOP IT! It may get you raped, or killed. Ted Bundy, the serial killer, was a good-looking, well educated man, who ALWAYS played on the sympathies of unsuspecting women, He walked with a cane, or a limp, and often asked "for help" into his vehicle or with his vehicle, which is when he abducted his next victim.

    9. Another safety point:
    Someone just told me that her friend heard a crying baby on her porch the night before last, and she called the police because it was late and she thought it was weird. The police told her, 'Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.' The lady then said that it sounded like the baby had crawled near a window, and she was worried that it would crawl to the street and get run over. The policeman said, 'We already have a unit on the way. Whatever you do, DO NOT open the door.' He told her that they think a serial killer has a baby's cry recorded and uses it to coax women out of their homes, thinking that someone dropped off a baby. He said they have not verified it, but have had several calls from women saying that they hear babies' cries outside their doors when they're home alone at night.
    I'd like you to forward this to all the women you know. It may save a life.
    A candle is not dimmed by lighting another candle. Send this to any woman you know who may need to be reminded that the world we live in has a lot of crazies in it, and it's better safe than sorry.
    TO ALL CAR OWNERS AND CAR DRIVERS: PLEASE READ

    Warning!!!! Be aware of new car-jacking scheme ..You walk across the car park, unlock your car and get inside. Then you lock all your doors, start the engine and shift or put into reverse. You look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your parking space, and you notice apiece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you shift the gear stick back into park or neutral, unlock your doors and jump out of your car to remove that paper, or whatever it is that is obstructing your view.
    When you reach the back of your car that is when the car-jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and takeoff!! Your engine was running, you would have left your purse in the car, and they practically mow you down as they speed off in your car.
    BE AWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED IN LONDON , MANCHESTER , AND MAKING ITS WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY!!!

    Just drive away, and remove the paper later! It is stuck to your window, and be thankful that you read this email. I hope you will forward this to friends and family, especially to women! A purse contains all identification, and you certainly do NOT want someone getting your home address. They already HAVE your keys!

    Morning all :wave:

    Looks like another sunny day here :)

    Off to the dentist this morning, just a check up though so will keep fingers crossed all is ok.

    FloFlo, Shopitize is another app. Works on a similar principle to the others in that you buy certain products and then scan barcode and send a picture of your receipt on your phone. They have some good offers at the mo - Uncle Bens Pilau or Basmati Rice £1 CB (currently £1 in Ts :D) and Sharwoods Korma or Tikka Masala sauce £1 CB (currently £1 in Ts :D) whole cucumbers 40p CB (currently 40p in As :D). There are a few more but not had chance to check prices on them all yet. Definitely worth checking out. There customer service seems pretty good too - they even have a rep come on here occasionally :)

    Thank you Logie hunny bun.:) I shall look for the app now.
