    People have varying reactions, I don't mention it but if they find out re my glitchy other life they
    a. are bored and cannot understand it and class me as eccentric
    OR
    b. they like it but only if i do all the hard work...
    I think I'd rather have set a. less tiring
    either way I don't care I spend less money on essentials and less money on luxuries and end up with more for me and mine eg daughter and elderly mother than others. I'm willing to put the work in but some aren't/have no time to so.. each to their own.

    I struggle with people I know who don't work yet tell me they haven't got time. I work full time and manage, and I do sometimes have a life too :o:p:rotfl:

    I am very generous with my glitching in all senses- giving coupons out, passing on info, handing stuff out and "opening my shop" as my lovely dad says, but if they aren't willing or can't be bothered to help themselves, where do I draw the line?

    For example. I've had loads of stuff delivered to my parents house this week. My mum isn't working so is home most of the time, or there is a safe place to leave it if she's not home, whereas here, if my neighbours don't take it in, there is nowhere safe to leave it. She is gobsmacked that I've had so much stuff delivered. She knows I've glitched the lot. She won't go and do it herself though, even though I think she's quite capable, and she's got a good teacher!

    I am an absolute and utter nugget:mad:

    DD has just sent me a link to some trainers she would like for Christmas. I just popped in her size and placed the order, asking DH if DD had used this website before. He said yes and I placed the order. As I pressed the submit button I realised something was not right.

    What an idiot I am:mad:

    Got some at Booths in K3ndal, and then some in K1rby L0nsdale :) Will try T's tomorrow evening :) Only got until 16th I think (?) to redeem the coupons!
    Check the date on the coupons; some are 16th, some are 13th I understand.

    Worth noting that the criteria for attending the courses is at local police forces discretion, it's not the same everywhere. I was unlucky enough to be fined for speeding in one of the few places in the country that didn't offer them at all!! :cool:

    Well, I have always said ladies should not be allowed to drive. :whistle:

    Might be worth giving them a ring now and seeing if they can do anything.
