Could any of you give me some advice please?
Have just found out that my 14 yr old son was stupid enough to take his wallet to school yesterday (he needed £2, was running late, so just picked up his wallet). Wallet contained £200 - all of his Xmas and birthday money. He was also idiotic enough to leave it in school changing rooms while he played in a basketball match after school. Needless to say - wallet stolen
He has confessed to DH while they are out, he will be back in approx 30 mins and I am totally furious with him - all kinds of sanctions are running through my mind - grounded for X amount of time/ no more basketball for the rest of school year/has to do chores to the value of the money lost etc etc.
Do you agree that he should be punished for leaving his wallet unattended?
All sensible suggestions considered ....
Thanks for any advice, I am really struggling to rationalise this one. Obviously the thief is to blame, but son does know that things get stolen from school changing rooms. Will ring school tomorrow, but he has told teachers today and I don't think anything can be done xx

Just thinking about this and it sounds like a horrible situation. I'm wondering if there's a suitable bank account you could open for him to safeguard him from this situation in the future.

My first e-voucher took ages for the checkout to imput, they kept adding £10 to my bill:eek:, then eventually they realise that they press vouchers and there is an e-voucher they have to press then scan

Please can I ask about the Johnsons and Johnson print off vouchers pretty please?

Ive printed one off so far (listerine) with an expiry of February 13th so about a month use by dates - is it the same with them all?

Also are there any good items to buy for comparison shops using the Johnsons MOCs (or new Tesco mag MOCs)
to generate APGs or TPPs.
I've got planned so far 2 shops - maybe 3

sasda v sainsbobns
sada v Tosco if need be
Tosco v sada possibly

All depending on having enough MOCs

Or anything using the new Tosco mag MOCs - the leaves were good during the week but I've not checked the price since.

Pauline, Can you explain how you did this please?
All I can find is £20 off £80 codes.....have to say I wont be doing an Ocado order yet, as am enjoying the M&S food, but may be tempted to do one after the end of January

Hi

I got a £20 off £60 offer by email - signed up but I just waited to see what I was offered

Then I used mysupermarket to look for the half price bargains of things we always use. Please do not mention the 20, yes 20, magnums purchased as bribery for OH.

And I had forgotten the £6.06 from TCB

So well worth signing up and just waiting to see what they offer

Well you are a lot braver than me FC, not something I can say I ever want to try to do. Well done hun xx

Not all been totally resolved I am in the dog house. :eek: I will get over it but let's just say I got texts in Ts other night like you it was the start of it but got worse when I got home. I need to reign things in a bit.

Also been a bit depressed, think because Boots Sale time of year as my mum's eyes would open wide with all the bargains I brought in to her. And of course I did not have her xmas shopping to do this year. So I was deflated having no one to share them with too.

And it would have been my dad's birthday yesterday too.

And what with all the problems selling the bungalow I have been a bit this week. :eek:

Massive hugs :A you've been on an emotional roller coaster these last few weeks. No wonder you feel a bit down. First Christmas without your mum making you feel all the excitement of the baby making you :j.....it really hard coping with such mixed emotions.

As for the dog house....I doubt you'll be there long I was only in it until I got home and asked my OH if I should start texting him when he's spending 5+ hours dangling his stick in the water :rotfl::rotfl: I also reminded him that I had a lot of lost shopping time to make up for, he now sees my point
