    Good afternoon .


    I see the part time council gypsies


    are out in force all half a dozen of them

    and 2 council toilets delivered to them too


    The young ages of the children driving these carts


    are an accident waiting to happen ......


    Not wanting to spoil their fun but I saw children as young as


    five being driven around the streets by teenagers


    Why is it if you NOT in the minority


    the majority are penalised ..


    if I parked my car where they park there carts I would be fined


    the law needs to stop under age children from driving these


    carts on main roads

    Ask them for a ride, it is great fun x

    But seriously I do not agree with positive discrimination... we should all have to live by the rules of society :o:o

    Ooh, we're looking good for chickens. That's where I got my £8.25 one yesterday - and very tasty it was too :D

    Has anyone got bigger than £8.49, from this 'Dine in' session?

    For T clothing, hypothetically, if they didn't have my size could I order the wrong size and get them exchanged for the right size/different item in a store that has a better selection ...? They seem to be quite limited in their availability online at the moment (and I have had a couple of items from within an order cancelled as one of the items is now out of stock - I thought they had a live system :mad:).

    Many thanks

    Her mum loves her loads, but struggles with her mental health and is dependent on benefits. I had given her some gift vouchers for Boots, she was going to buy shampoo as they did not have any shampoo for a week! DS2 said I would do a bag of toiletries and told her to get treats. I filled two large bags, and now keep a bag that I fill up for her.

    I am old fashioned and think that kids should be kids without pressures of life.

    I bought her;


    PANDORA CHARM BRACELET - STERLING SILVER
    21ST BIRTHDAY CHARM
    BLUE SPOT MURANO CHARM
    OPENWORK ABSTRACT DETAIL CHARM
    REINDEER PENDANT CHARM
    PANDORA GIFT PACKAGING


    Which includes her Christmas present...god I hope they are will together at Christmas!:D:D:D

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Sign up to Green Redeem
    https://www.greenredeem.co.uk/
    and complete some surveys and pledges to accrue points; 100 points gets you a £5 off £25 M&S food 'n' drink spend
    https://www.greenredeem.co.uk/reward.php?activity=46563
    vouchers valid till 31st July.

    Do your food 'n' drink shopping at M&S, concentrating on any meal deals or multibuy offers if you can; get over £25 in total before any discounts (getting as close to £25 as you can gives the biggest savings); use a self-service till if possible; once you've scanned all your shopping, scan the Green Redeem voucher before you press 'Pay' (v. important) then put it in the voucher slot; the till deducts the £5, and then deducts any meal deal/multibuy savings; if you're at a manned till, make sure the SA scans the voucher before s/he presses 'Pay'/'Total'.

    Depends on what you get, but typical savings are £25ish of food 'n' drink for £10-£11. (I got £54.58 for £22.)

    Happy shopping!:)


    Thanks for this. :beer:
    Is it the food wine and flowers reward you need to claim?
