    While driving home from school on Friday my dd was talking to me about her day and told me her teacher had told her that glasses were also called testicles:eek::eek::rotfl:

    I still have not seen the large Schwartz Grill Mates - 200g - that show at £1 on m.com anywhere instore at all. I been in about 66 Ms over time and have not seen them in any of them. I presume they must be somewhere, since they are showing online. But, if so, I have yet to find them and, given my failure to do so, think it's highly unlikely the APG would find them. I'm starting to think they must be described in error on m.com but, given that they are on there, they must be surely somewhere? Although I suggested I would be unlikely to do so, I may in fact be able to visit M in Leamington Spa (which I understand is their largest store in the country) although, if so, I am unlikely to be able to do so for several weeks - and, if I do ever get there, and if I still do not find them even in there, which is the M that I believe their delivery is based on and what is reflective of m.com, then, not in their biggest store of all, I will take it that M does not have them at all despite what is suggested online. Probably big mistake:rotfl: - someone else will have them! If they are not instore, they will never be picked up on the APG or TBG.

    So would I (from what you're saying). I assume they haven't told you they got a big APG so Sains comp would have been 'best' but not very good on these. Is there any way of checking with whoever has the receipt to see what the M result was?

    I've asked, waiting for a reply. :)

    Ours are having Easter weekend off, then going back in for a few days then having 2 weeks off.

    Same here, although i am off sick at the minute, hoping to try and get back after the easter weekend for 4 days then it will be the 2 weeks hols
    The school where one of my children go have decided from September they will start school 15 mins earlier and have 5 mins of their lunch break taken away but they will be given an extra week off at feb half term :eek: apparently this is to help parents to be able to afford to take their children on holiday as it would be cheaper the second week:eek:
    Doesn't help when you have children at different schools though :cool:

    February, thats a bit pants, most short haul places wont be very warm, and UK def wont be warm lol

    Glad you had a nice lunch with your sister bubbs. It's good she has the animals to focus on, keep her mind occupied.

    Doesn't help working parents who will have an extra week to cover.

    I might get picked up :p. I've joined and received the email and the offers are a Jamieson Irish mule cocktail :eek:or a bottle of Heineken beer. No mention of a soft drink instead . It's cheaper for me to drive than go on the train :)

    It'll be even more :money:for you in two months time then as you will then be able to go by bus for free if you apply for your bus pass:) Hi Emerald, hope you are ok :)
  • Bother, all ready to clear some £1 RTC J20's and then notice the "we've changed our pricing" tag on the basket. Now all stores in the East are on the new system I think.

    And women in this age group are also looking after elderly relatives as well as financially supporting young adults through uni - the crux pin that ensure the generations above and bellow can function

    I'm another one in this age group...60 this year....looking after elderly mum and mum in law and two sons at uni to support. 66 seems oh so far away....I will be too worn out to enjoy it by then !
