so good of you to do that.

gotta be in it to win it. so to speak, is there not other choo choo companies as well. although their trains are smart and clean

just exploded a ready meal in office microwave. cloth is bright orange cleaning it up !

I keep checking out the competition for railway jobs, but nothing ever seems to come up. Northern rail used to train drivers, but now want qualified drivers. I think they stopped training them because the other companies took them ready train from NR.

Thanks for the photo.
Naebbirac and I were looking at these on sunday but confused as priced at £1. Do they scan different to this as last comparison I saw was different price.
Now I know what I am looking for I will try these. I know they have been going a long time. I do not eat gluten but with summer coming nearer and living by the sea I am expecting frequent visitors who will eat them.
Also perfect for pack lunches.
I know they are long life but do they freeze?
TIA

we love excel sheets on the elite so any ideas for new ones are very much appreciated.

One that comes to mind is a comparison one - price of beans in relation to price of loo roll to see if beans prices fall when loo prices are high :rotfl:

I want to know why we use so much. its hundreds of rolls a year !! :eek:

Is it crew jobs you are looking at ? Thought about air crew ?

Thanks to Enterprise (apologies I can't remember the rest of your name on here) for the details of where to send my tesco complaint.

Just had a call back from MrT's customer service about the out of date gammon I Bought on Saturday.

The result is a £12 gift card is on its way to refund the 2 packs. The price is £5.99 on the website, they don't need to know I only paid £2 per pack

DS2 is in year 8 at grammar school & has no statement or help & quite often gets detentions for not understanding homework properly they changed heacteachers just after he started & she's a complete female dog! lucklily she's leaving so hopefully they'll have someone more understanding in her place
DS3 is in year 6 with a statement & only 9 in his class at specialist school with 1 teacher & 2 ta's & will be the same when he goes to specialist secondary in september it all varies so much on each child with asd to how much help they get unfortunately

Oh I think your son and my son go to the same school. She's not very nice, I agree.:eek:

Just imagine them looking at an Elite's statement that did loads of 99p H&M orders among other things. :rotfl:

I know all about not fitting in, in the 1990s me and Mr TS were stuck in a 1 bedroom flat with 2 children with over £20,000 negative equity. I hope things look up for you dipdap like they eventually did for me.

Awww thanx TS.
A few years back we were stuck on about £20k of negative equity when the market crashed.
Luckily that's all flipped on its head now and we have enough equity (although not sure how much until we get the house valued and on the market) to clear the rest of our debts (they're still pretty high ) and that's about it at the moment.
With every month that passes our equity amount increases and debts and mortgage decrease so we know one day our moving day will come :j
Bubbs has seen our house and knows we have a tight fit I just look forward to the day when my kids can have their own bedrooms :j
It's been hard work and I know there's still a big struggle ahead but that light at the end of the tunnel is slowly getting closer :j:j:j

ahhh really? what year is yout son in?
she was a nightmare when i broke my leg & couldn't get DS2 to school & my mum had many a row with her on the phone :eek: she couldn't understand why i couldn't let an autistic child take 2 buses to & from school :mad: my mum works at a school in essex & knows that schools have funds to help with transport in certain circumstances but she was having none of it & i ended up paying £65 a week for 6 weeks for him to get cabs too & from school otherwise she would have prosecuted us

It is station staff and onboard. I hate flying, so air crew is a no no.

I've no experience of negative equity but it sounds a nightmare :eek::eek:

It was not a good time nerfy, quite a few of our friends handed their keys in. We didn't we stayed with it and luckily for us it turned out ok.

I remember being at home when it was that so called black Wednesday in 1992 and watching on tv while the interest rates went up to something like 15% and thinking this is it we are going to have to hand in our keys as well.

We lost my MIL the next year and OH inherited just enough to pay off our negative equity so we sold while house prices were low. When we had initially bought the flat prices had been going up £1000 a week which was a lot then.

I sold a 2 bed house beginning of 1988 for £36,000 and by July that year a 1 bed flat cost us £53,000. Which in proportion then was a huge jump. Seems an awful long time ago now. :rotfl:
