    Morning all :)

    Just wondering what part of the country you are from Tweets. Nearly every day you seem to have horrible weather where other people are saying what a nice weather day they are having :). Stopped raining here about 2 hours ago and sun trying to come out in sunny essex :T

    I live in Oldham not far from the Pennine Moors.

    Wish I could post a pic showing horrible weather its still throwing it down :(

    If its not raining its cold and very windy. Not been out without my coat on yet this year and have 2 hats and gloves always in my bag :D 2 hats because one is a trapper hat and other just normal bobble without the bobble lol

    Sorry to hear that you are not too well TS. You've had a lot on your plate and it will be your body's way of telling you to slow down for a while.

    Love dressing gown days. Try and have a relaxing onex

    Four shops in 2 visits if that makes sense:)

    I got 2 lots of 12 the first time using mainly APGs getting back about £10.60 twice.
    Then I used the 2 lots of £10.60 to get 2 x 8

    So I spent very little real money.

    Oh yes....bought Bertolli in the first 2 shoos:T

    Thanks TM, I'm thinking I might even go back to bed for couple of hours. No one will know. ;)

    DD1 is staying at her BF's parents and they have been here everyday since Friday but said they wouldn't pop in today. So I have the house to myself I should take advantage really. :D

    tweets just watch with the santander overdraft. I got one for £100 when it was the abbey, I went into it overnight about a year ago because my rent had been taken out early for some reason. I thought nothing of it because I'd a free overdraft, or so I thought, until it noticed on my next months statement a £2 overdraft fee. I queried it with my local branch and got told this was the normal daily charge for using the overdraft and should have got the info from when it was taken over. They refunded but it wasn't the point, it should have been made clearer.

    Thanks but I have no intention of going into it.

    Glad your dog is in a good home and got a buddy :T

    My son has a similar problem with parking eye fine - but produced receipts to show he had genuinely been shopping all day ( not just using it as a car park) and hadn't seen the signs. He got let off - it's got to be worth a try. Good luck.

    I've had 2 parking fines from Parking Eye and all you got to do is ignore the letters:) the fines go up and up and then go down again over about 6 months and they threaten you will all sorts of stuff and it looks very official and my wife would of paid it to make them go away but if you just take no notice they give up in the end:cool:
    If you type parking eye in a search on mse you should find a thread that shows all the letter you get and in which order:o

    the main thing to do when entering apg info is to make it up.
    eg
    name
    gjugngbg
    address
    ghukloo
    postcode
    I put an authentic one but not mine.
    [email]email[/email]
    a@b.com
    just vary details every time and apg's are open ended

    edit...... I untick the box which says something like they will send you marketing info. (don't want too many emails bouncing back at them)

    That seems like a lot of effort ;):rotfl: mine is

    name
    y
    address
    e
    postcode
    I put an authentic one but not mine (same here)
    [email]email[/email]
    a@b.co
    just vary details every time (same)

    Thank you, big hugs right back at you. :grouphug:

    I hope you feel better after a lovely break with your friend. It can be so relaxing, a nice change of scenery. ;)

    I wish I could have stayed at my caravan the weekend but it just wasn't practical with my hands playing up and especially with Teeny around. If Mr TS had not been busy we could have both gone out but I couldn't have managed the water carriers on my own. :eek:

    Determined to go there this weekend. Just hoping for sunshine. :)
