Really excited and happy that you are all getting these totes amazeball deals at Tosco. I never seem to find any but hey ho. Well done everyone.

A very MSE supper for little old me. Just made some mini pizzas with the Warburtons Thins and Dolmio sauce. Thanks to THICK TOM for the Thins voucher and to LTF for pointing out the Dolmio Shopitize deal. Much appreciated as I would have spent about £20 had I have opted for a take away pizza.

Thanks for sharing the vouchers and deals on here people. My family really do appreciate it. :A:A:A

They used to be in carrier bags and cardboard boxes and lying loose until I got organised. Recently transferred all of them (intact) to large plastic boxes with lid.



I have rearranged the shelves so my plastic storage box of face wipes, my box of buggies wipes and my 2 boxes of tissues are now on the very top of my shelves. Toilet paper and kitchen towels are in the rafters as always. Boxes of lotions, shampoos, shower gels and mouthwash are on the lowest shelves so they,ll get a shock if they much any of them :rotfl:

Cereals, crisps, biscuits etc are stored in old kitchen cupboards

Game on pesky rodents. Game on

I wouldn't count on it!! I had mice chew thru a bottle of T-Cut car polish!!

It was some time ago now and, eventually, I took the pragmatic way out, at last:o, and complied with the contable's direction! It would have been easier if the red light was broken (and for all I know the lights for the traffic in other directions at that crossroads could well have been broken) - sadly the red light (for my traffic) wasn't broken. I couldn't pretend it was and, for me, that would have added another additional processing on top (and more delay from that) - thinking it is on red (which it is), then having to think it's broken. Then, when I have decided (or pretended) it is broken, only then complying with the direction. I didn't really think about it that way - it was 'better', although a bit stressful, to think of red light, constable direction. Conflict, conflict, conflict, how can I simultaneously stay at the light (as directed by the light) and not stay at the light (as directed by the constable)? A little later perhaps than hoped, I went through on the direction of the police officer. after moments of edging forward on her direction whilst simultaneously attempting to follow the red light and not breach it. Phew!!:)

Thought of red light, constable direction, is the light broken? (ponder ponder that whilst) another constable direction would have been an even longer process that the thought process actually was. The blunt and 'case closed' finality answer from me is: 'They should of checked to make sure the red light wasn't showing before giving their direction'.

(Doh! I honestly didn't think of the reason why they might have been there. Too busy concentrating on driving. Didn't occur to me at the time: but, now considering it, not too deep consideration needed, the officer wouldn't just set up in the road and yes they were manoeuvring traffic round a blockage. I just thought about the traffic lights, the police direction, driving (or not driving - i.e. stopping still, in the case of a red light) my car safely.)

I think I am a bad driver. (Contrary to popular belief of perhaps 'most' drivers, about themselves.) Many (or perhaps most) people think they are good drivers and that is a problem as they are over-confident about their driving and actually unsafe. We all make the odd mistakes and slips on the road. I think I'm a bad driver - hopefully, that makes me more careful and safe (albeit being careful is sometimes a fault - if carefulness equates too much to being too cautious - end up with someone crashing into the back of you if you do that too much!). I probably am more careful and safe, but I don't like to think I am as that may be too confident in my abilities - as 'most' people are, without just cause - and thus in fact a worse driver.

I think this topic has to be raised as it is terrible that an officer would stand there and try to trick people through lights just to get commission for the ticket they can then write out for jumping the lights! It's a police state and a letter should be sent straight away to the Chief Constable for that area. With reference to going through a red light when an ambulance is coming, the price of a ticket is actually a small price to pay for saving a life. Unless its a conspiracy between the ambulance service and the police to generate more income for the government! Sorry but I should have started with no offence, to make whatever I write acceptable, yes?
