    I also got those tickets via Show Film First which I gave to a friend. Tom Jones/Van Morrison doesn't really do it for me :). Cheapest parking is at North Greenwich Station at £6 Sunday rate (fills up pretty quick though): http://www.ncp.co.uk/find-a-car-park/car-parks/north-greenwich-stn-lul/

    Parking at the O2 can cost between £19-30 depending if you prebook.

    Otherwise depending on what direction you're coming from you could park at Canada Water (free parking on most side roads) and tube it 2 stops or park at Westfield Stratford (costs £9.50 on the weekends) and tube it 3 stops on the Jubilee Line.

    Enjoy!

    ETA: Meant to add that you'll have a bit of traffic coming out but once you reach the A12, it's usually pretty clear that time of night

    Thank you - very helpful. Tube would be £12.40 total return for the 2 of us.

    good morning Elite :hello:

    Rain and wind, a rotten combination as I tried to dash across Mr As car park after long wombles. Nothing to report :(

    Set alarm last night for 7.30am, woke at 8.40am and think to myself 'where's my alarm'. Found it in bed, turned off :eek: now who in the heck did that? :cool:

    Hugs to those in need, nay, hugs to everyone today just because x

    Just marking the calendar, the next 2 Fridays are going to be interesting exercises. I think if possible I'll try and move the bulk of the shopping to Fridays so the normal muggle shopping plus any Shopotize cashback items will disguise the free cidres
    (and also have a couple of no spend days midweek to compensate for touring supermarkets on Fridays)

    So firstly we need to get cheaper copies of the Sun - for instance you could get some at Sainsburys and pay £2.50 worth in nectar points

    Or make them part if a £5 waitrose shop with your free coffee and a bit of shopping.

    My little Marks has a newspaper stand and I've got a Marks gift card with credit on it from a current account switch so I could also get some Suns from there.

    At least then if you get your Suns previously you can then go into Sada, Morribobs or Mr !!!!!! with your vouchers pre cut and ready.

    Some people might have saved their Morrisons till spit £5 vouchers to print off closer to Christmas so now would be a good time to get these

    And some people have been fortunate enough to get mr !!!!!! conditional spends as till spits - might be time to see if I can get one of those.

    Then you have to think of storage. I've got a couple of the mystery wine boxes sadly now empty. Usually I wait until I've got 3 or 4 and then Freecyle them as they are good boxes for house movers. In the meantime I can store cidre in them. My Oh has finally eaten the last of the OOD walkers crisps so there is a box shaped space.

    This week I think some of us have been fortunate to get the full bottle price taken off and this has resulted in some overage to use towards the rest of the shopping but I think shops will cotton onto this and just use the multibuy price so we can't rely on getting full value. I got meat with my overage this week but I know it can't be relied upon.

    And as always whilst we are building our cidre stocks its also a good time to take a bag to our local food bank - my Sada and !!!!!! both have collection trolleys at the end of the tills every week and my Sainsburys has a collection trolley for the local cat rescue hospital and one for Christmas things for the childrens wards at the hospital so plenty of opportunities for balancing out our good fortunate at getting some cheap cidre
    (40p a bottle so not free but it ekes out the expensive fizz and mystery wine :):D
    I got my 9 copies in the co op and paid with my tsb contactless card, so should get 5% back lol. Then sat in the car cutting out the vouchers and then went onto A's ;) Also if you get as part of an APG that should part pay for the Suns I think.
    Will be donating some bottles to our local church bottle stall for their bazaar :)
