    Hope your dd ok dipdab. My son was in A&E about a month ago after a skateboarding accident. Have to say they were brilliant, and was seen very quickly. Also been in the minor injuries bit with both kids, and again, very good service.

    They are pretty good, although I did laugh when one of the nurses asked if she'd seen DD before :rotfl:
    A&Es changed a bit since I last took her to the children's waiting area although it's still in the same place :)

    Hi Claire


    Can this been done online as well?

    Yes I did it online last week using the co keratin conditioner as the trigger.
    We're just happy to have a home, a family and our health. Whatever else is just added and it fits. :)

    its my eldest and her BF I am thinking about - no credit cards debts and everything up to date but only 2 years out of uni so I don't know how far back mortgage brokers go back to look at their lurid financial history

    They have a good income but they live only an hour out of London, their living expenses are huge, they commute, they have student loans to pay.
    They actually have no more disposable income than when they lived up north but London is like a shiny exotic beacon.
    I cant see them ever having enough to save enough for a deposit.
    The only saving grace is that the plan is to move back up north again - I think London is too much of a draw though so it might be some years yet

    Oh and I lived in 1 room in tottenham to save 12k deposit. We suffered, it was awful. But we wanted our own place. Now it's the best thing I ever did.

    If they're not ready to save and be sensible probably not a good idea for them to get a place yet.

    I did well in Bristol today, in B/Stoke Extra the SA in the clothing dept telling me that my APGs and receipts all needed to be 'genuine' as a lady was 'carted off in a police van' (his actual words) on Friday :eek::rotfl:




    You must have spoken to the same person as me as I was told a similar story on the Saturday. I had to even show ID. I gave them the receipts and they handed them back to me. He didn't even check them but did you do your transaction upstairs?


    The guy told me that this "girl" had used 30 vouchers with "This voucher can be used in Tesco" at the bottom off the APG voucher. She was also using vouchers for over £10 he told me £10.03 which I find strange.


    TBH, I think its a fake story that tesco's are saying to scare customers in using APG vouchers in the trial stores.


    Next time, Try the home store. They hate these vouchers and will do everything to stop you using them.


    Some of the stores will only allow a MAX of £10 per transaction but will allow you to hog a SS till and do as many as you want. It was like I was the scanner and my husband was the shopper and kept toping up the basket to do them £10 shops :)

    Hello all :wave:



    Bless you Arthien :A I have already checked it...I had to do a double take :eek: close but no cigar for moi :)

    I did well in Bristol today, in B/Stoke Extra the SA in the clothing dept telling me that my APGs and receipts all needed to be 'genuine' as a lady was 'carted off in a police van' (his actual words) on Friday :eek::rotfl:

    He then proceeded to ask me if I wanted all the items put through as one transaction, and didn't check one single APG against any of the corresponding receipts :rotfl::rotfl:

    Onto E@stville where the SA wasn't remotely interested in checking/marking the receipts, and told me that she could only put 10 APGs through in one go with no maximum value :D

    (I'm happy if you are my dear :D)

    Called in at John Lewis on the way back to use my coffee/cake voucher - she gave me a massive slice of carrot cake which was delicious :T

    Then into WHSmith to pick up the free droid thing on O2 - I had no idea what it was and I was seriousy flagging by then so I just asked the chap if he had the free O2 robot thingy :o
