    Gosh I think I would weep if I went from 2 to 8 kids. Octomum is not a dream of mine ;)

    Just popping in wombles!:wave:

    Nothing to report,mainly because I'm house-sitting and haven't been out. However tomorrow I'm taking 2 of my granddaughters to the park so hopefully I might find a bit of roadkill. :D

    Just be careful on that one. I used to have a young girl (16) working for me and she got fined for using her mother's pass. Now I know you can use a pay as you go card of another person with no trouble but not a weekly pass or monthly pass etc. Just making you aware. It's a good one if you can get away with it but then the fines can be big of they catch you out.

    Thanks Bobarella, but my daughter's Oyster card is not registered to her, so whoever is using it , it 'belongs' to them. She does not like using mine, because it has a JSA half price supplement added to it, and it has a photocard of me which has to be carried with my Oyster card at all times and is registered to my name and address. As I am 53 and my daughter is only 23, she is always afraid of being challenged and getting caught out.

    It may have been that in the example you give, the girl's Mother had registered her Oyster card.
  • Found 6p roadkill at the ATM. I was so excited at my find, it was sad.

    Popping in to update...Asda food delivery arrived with total savings of £6.65, which included a "free" Easter egg (3 for £10, or £5 each) so they are stashed away for then. DH presented me with two pens last night that have screwdriver attachments (!?) Not sure I would've bought them myself as the pen is rather chunky for my taste but I'll say 10p each for them, if that's OK?

    Just thought, I haven't been including any value for the eggs that my hens lay...I'll do that from tomorrow x

    Brilliant. It all adds up after all. Glad the travel is all OK too. Fines are horrible aren't they.
