    I have asked this before, but am still unsure - is it actually illegal to not deposit the M&S vouchers into the slot? Is it fraud/shoplifting or just 'not in the spirit' of the voucher/their fault for not asking for the coupon to be deposited?
    Would love some clarification :)

    Hi, I just read your message singing the balamory song to myself :eek:

    Have fun with your nephew :) I know my 3 year old loves drawing, puzzles, building with his lego/boxes & playing shops (I wonder where he gets that from!:rotfl:)

    Everyone has their own lines and this subject has been hotly debated on here many times before. Yes it is illegal, it's fraud. My personal line is don't do anything that could land you up in court. People have been arrested and even successfully prosecuted for this in the past.....not worth it IMO. That is just my opinion though, people can do whatever they feel comfortable with.
    I don't mean that to sound lecturish, I have done things that others might find questionable, it really is a matter of where your line is :)

    morning all x

    can someone point me in the right direction for the idiots guide to getting o2 priority moments, I am on 3 network and have tried a few things but no good so far x

    Get a free o2 sim from o2 first of all
    Install app ln smartphone and enter that o2 phone number
    Swap sims and write down the activation code sent to that o2 sim
    Swap sims back and enter code into your app
    Continue using app despite phone having a 3 sim

    You only need the o2 sim to receive the code by text and unlock the app. You don't need it for anything else


    Easiest is to use an unlocked phone just to get the code and put that code in your smartphone.

    I claimed for my lawnmower last October and when I came for renewal last week my insurer declined to quote and I had huge difficulty getting quotes from other insurers, In the end I had to get contents and buildings insurance separate. Wish I hadn't bothered to claim now :mad:

    Always difficult to know what to do. Depends on your previous claim history too. Too many claims isn't good.

    Also the moral dilemma that if you have insurance and choose not to claim, is it right to deprive your child of the money they would have got back if you had claimed?
