Good morning all

Firstly I have 2 problems.

Eldest child needs a basic tennis racquet - she is very short of cash (as usual). Please can someone suggest where to look?

She has booked some of the free tennis sessions (as per the MSE weekly newsletter) assuming that her tennis racquet is still here. She actually left home 8 years ago so why she thought it was still here I don't know.

Sports Direct?

glad its gone well for your DS....it makes it so much easier on us when they seem less stressed about it all.


Mine was doing unit 2 &3 and according to timetable he's just about to finish unit 3 at 11am
He loves chemistry and will be gutted with anything less than a A*...and sometimes its the managing of expectations that we find quite difficult as he really is a perfectionist and anything less is no good.
....that reminds me he needs picking up from school at 1 today as he doesnt have an exam this afternoon.

Hope he has done well. My son had unit 2 at 9am. Our kids are still doing normal school hours with no study leave but I feel like its best for him as he will get more done at school;)

2nd problem is Sainsburys have sent me a set of three conditional spends - £4 wys £20 :j
- I had a serious trouting in April so I've been avoiding the place more or less since apart from odd £1 shops to see if I could get any till spits - not a single one now for weeks and weeks :mad: - another reason to boycott the place

So these are only for £20 spends over 3 weeks and I need to use one today as I wont be near sainsbobs for weeks - if I use all three MOCS I also get an extra 500 points (a magnificent £2.50 worth :T )

So what to spend £20 on - ideally to get a BM - I cant think of a single thing that we need.

Any suggestions?

The Gillette razors on MBG are £10 v £5 S vA

Hello everyone

Yesterday I went to bluewater and finally remembered to use my LYB card from bubbs' bodyshop glitch before Christmas.

The nice shower gels are £4 and on buy one get one half price.
The 10% came off first and then the £5 for my birthday leaving me with 40p to pay.

It will be my birthday again on Saturday too

thanks for this, would you believe there is no Sports Direct where she lives :mad: - hopefully one close to where she works, central London.

If we had known earlier in the week she probably could have got one when she was on a day trip out of the office

Why do cheap days out always end up costing money

I would have much preferred the all day at school approach too but we have managed a compromise that exams in the morning mean you stay till 1 exams in the afternoon mean you go in at 1...therfore at least getting lunch out of it at school.
