    Here's one to throw into the mix. Not everybody will like it.


    But it's 100% legal.


    Reselling tickets is perfectly legal in UK, as demonstrated by the peaceful existence of sites such as Viagogo & Getmein. Plus of course, no convictions, ever.


    You can easily double your money after fees if you pick the right one.


    The next obvious one is Adele at the O2 in spring. People are limited to 4 tickets or they'll cancel your tickets. I bet they might check for addresses, IP addresses, credit cards.


    The cheapest ones will be £47.50 and you should be able to sell them for £200.


    I only do it to hit my Amex spend targets lol


    Prepares for backlash :)


    It is fine to do as long as you understand the risks, which may be too great for some people.

    If the event is cancelled, the tickets can often only be refunded to the original payment card. So best not to spend your gains until the event has happened.

    Some events require ID that matches the name on the ticket...can be awkward.

    Just thinking that with the Amex deal @ Superdrug, you could pick up a £65.99 Oral B toothbrush (reduced to £25) for about £12 lol

    Thank you!

    snack type biscuit really I find, the chewy ones are filling, not really a breakfast thing unless breakfast on the move then fine..ie as you are going out the door in a rush type of breakfast.

    I know im probably a little late but a little while ago I saw electric toothbrushes comparing well,
    Then I saw the offer at Mr shoes a couple of weeks ago
    I didn't bother with those offers as I had nobody to buy them for. Now my dear 14 1/2 year old grandson decides he would like one, has anyone got any thoughts of what is now comparing or just a good price.
    Thanks x

    You really remind me of my friend in some of the stuff you say above. She also has a rare cancer, and is grade 4, so her chemo is palliative. She says that in a strange way she is almost jealous of people who have "normal" cancers that can be dealt with far more routinely and have a much better outcome. Like you, there is no cure for hers as it is beyond that stage.

    Not quite the same as donating your body, but I had a conversation with DD17 this week about the donor register, as I finally applied for her provisional licence, and near the end of the application it asks if you want to go on the register. She decided she did, which is great. I told her she would need to text her Dad, as if something happened to her under the age of 18 I would presume that despite the fact we are divorced, we would both have to agree to it (no idea if this is the case or not). Her text made me laugh, as she told him what she'd done, and that he would have to agree with me for it to go ahead. No beating round the bush with her message!



    Very happy, as I was worried if she was in the last 4 they wouldn't do celebrity cyclone, and thats my favourite trial!

    Hospital didn't go as planned for me today. :(

    I have a slight internal leak on a join, so very long story short my tubes have to stay in a few more weeks so the join can heal (they think its just been slow to heal rather than any other problem). If they took them out today there would be too much risk of leaking urine in my body.

    Bit gutted, they've been in so long now, but hey ho, there are much worse things that could happen. Hopefully they will be out in a few weeks.

    I did go and deliver a tin of chocolates to the ward, and also some to the bed makers/cleaners as I didn't think they'd get a look in and they do a fab job.

    altojack, your replies to FC were lovely last night, I've only just caught up with the thread due to being in hospital all day. :A
    Hello :wave:
    Sorry things do go too well, but best left to heal fully, know how fed up you are x
