    I would prefer to have them at ours we were woken up with loud noises in the garden at 4am someone had left my front gate open and we had 7 of the below :eek::eek: luckily they never got to the veggie patch. but they are very destructive, and the males horns are very big and scarey, love seeing them as long as they stay out of the garden:p

    many a time we have woken up to cows on the lawn. Sheep in the garden was also common - you'd chase them away and they would be running up the the lane with Lupins hanging out their mouth.
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

    Sainsburys have just emailed me saying they are changing Brand Match from 2nd June.

    You will no longer have to spend £20 but you will have to buy 10 items one of which must be branded and comparable.

    They say to visit their website on 2nd June to see what is and isn't included.

    Think patty mentioned this yesterday.

    Rubbish terms compared to the old one.

    :(

    But I'm sure we can work something out.

    My kids loved both. Only tip I can give is get there for opening and go on most popular rides before the coach parties get there.
    Think nerfdad is the Park expert.

    Evening all

    Just caught an excellant set by Calvin Harris on the bbc big weekend. Not so empressed by Example though.

    Very sad today as got the news my cousins 11 year old daughter died of a brain tumour on thursday. As far as I understand it there was no warning signs she was fit and healthy. Such a pretty happy child.:(
    Absolutely heartbreaking, she leaves a twin sister.

    Counting my blessing tonight but grieving at the same time.

    Spent day quietly.

    Sorry to hear of your sad news xxx

    In case it helps anyone, 3V vouchers can be used directly on M7S website (no need to convert to vouchers via HighStreetVouchers or TopCashBack).


    Obviously, it's more profitable to top-up an M7S gift card via TopCashBack if you have the time.

    Thanks - trying to get my head round these, but struggling, other than getting gift cards. They look really difficult to spend as you can only spend them when the amount is equal to or less than what's on the card, so can't use them for car tax disc for instance as mine is £110 p.a. and by the time I'd combined them onto one card charges would outweigh any CC gains. Can't then use them to pay bills or pay for flights etc., either on the same basis, so think I'm best just converting to vouchers, after all. Or anyone got any tips of how / where best to spend them otherwise please?

    Edit: Done a search and a good way to use them up seems to be Amazon gift cards as can put any amount on. (Or currently Blinkbox £1 books). Just a shame they can't be used in part payment for stuff, but as usual make things just that bit more difficult for us glitch hunters / elite!

    sounds just like here, we have a gate with a path that people keep leaving open when walking and the cows, and sheep come through, and our bungalow is in the middle of the garden so many a time we are chasing them round the bungalow in circles :rotfl: the wild goats come of the mountains at night and raid everyones gardens most people put up with them but some want them shot:eek: which is very sad
