    If it's the same cover as the mag showing on the app (for me) about winter earners etc, the £2 coupon is co-op pharmacy only. I grabbed about 30 mags before realising this :mad::o
    yep just checked pharmacy only :(

    I ve got a kindle and a nook greedy Susie lol . I find the kindle much easier to download books. I try to download books from the library but always forget what to do on my nook Does anyone have a nook and can tell me the best website to use please. Think David. Mentioned calibre but what does it do :o

    Calibre is a way of bypassing certain controls for downloading books onto your reader. Put the books into the library and they will transfer to yours.

    Also follow the above instructions and should solve your library problems too.

    Alternatively I also have Adobe Digital Editions for library books, but they are time limited on there.

    It is hard when kids live abroad, never mind in Kabul. xxxx

    I cannot believe your neighbour would not take them in for you... the big fat meanies ...egg their house!!

    Now I think about it, well Ive taken in numerous parcels for both sides - one neighbour is a right pain, ignore or refuse any parcels that try to get left with me now as he often as 4 or 5 deliveries a week :mad: - why he does not get them left at his works reception.
    So quite possibly it was him that refused to take delivery.

    Just saw the tributes for the wee boy, brought a tear to my eye.:(:(:(:(:(

    So, so sad.

    I thought something sounded dodgy from the beginning, especially when it was on the news that the little boy hadn't been back to Nursery since Xmas.

    Something still puzzling me, if someone is trying to hide a crime, why not say nothing rather than report him missing? If the mother had said nothing and then when eventually people had asked where the child was, surely it would be easy to make some lie up - like gone overseas with family.

    We have a poltergeist in our house as well that goes around leaving drawers and cupboards open - otherwise known as my Oh,
    every time I end up with a shin bruise as I bang shins against his bedside cabinet as I go in the bedroom
    The tea caddy I had to cello tape a note to as it was forever open.
    I follow him through the house slamming shut drawers and cupboards
    - why is it so hard ...

    For the same reason that out of three cogent, apparently intelligent adults in this house, I am the only one who is capable of changing the toilet rolls. :mad: Good to know two Uni degrees and a once mensa IQ are good for something. :(:(:(

    Oh and I'm always hurting myself tripping over OH's shoes because he leaves them everywhere as trip hazards. Why are men's shoes so heavy?
    Hope is not a strategy.
