Hi Dave, when i looked it was two weeks in advance, so checked again last week as wanted wedding anniversary w/end & was able to include a Saturday night, £40 pn for a double room, downside is parking @ £15 pn or more offsite if we can't bag one of the 35 spaces.

Morning all!

With the Accor Monday's, do I need to be a member? On the search form it asks for a membership number, but can't see anywhere to sign up.

Going to brave taking the family to London in November. DS2 is still in a pushchair., and likely to be for many years yet.

I'm not sure if it's a wise thing to do; but the money for the trip was left to the kids in the will of an old school friend.

You would have thought with the amount of hair dye I have purchased in SD, I would have got the email. :eek:

I used for the first time the SD own light brown that was really cheap year or so ago, fantastic result and it's one you only need to leave on 10 minutes. Usually my hair is a bit resistant to some dyes but this one has covered perfectly. :T

I think that is the one I had as well, I used up the ones I had and then when I was doing out the wardrobe bottom I found one last pack - as you say it covers very well, lasts ages and you only have to sit still for 10 mins.
I thought the light brown was going to be horrible but its fine - pity it all gone now

I got 2 of the Olios (that's not what they are called but its something like that) from the RTC shelve in Asda a month of 2 back - bit anxious now about trying these.

Superdrug have not given me any free hair dye either :mad: - awful clunky website to get onto so I am wondering if its better going via chrome

Although some saying you get a bunch of flowers ??

Women get flowers, men get chocolates

Plenty of people complain on morries fb wall that they didn't get anything (like it's a right! :rotfl:)

Good morning.

Garnier Ultimate 400ml (select flavours) has appeared on CoS, £1 claim T or A, 6 claims. £2 in other supermarkets so 80p after CoS and APG.

Not the cheapest but may be useful for someone with low stash.

Before I go......did anyone else catch up on the news about the breakthroughs in Alzeihmers Research? There's been some great results in recent trials where progress of the disease has been stopped in its tracks. Maybe nothing to ease the suffering of those in advanced stages but some really encouraging news:T:T

And the elderly chap who lost his wife who made a £1 million donation to Alzeihmers research, saying he doesn't need a big house and a big car. Bless his heart:A

No I didn't catch this but great news I will look for the info:)
..but a wont help my SIL, but hopefully others will be able to benefit.
SIL is 52 years old stage 6 Alzheimers she was sectioned 3 weeks ago, she has now stabilized but needs 24 hour care and the new home that would be best for her is £900 a week so she has to have another assessment next week to see if she can be funded...She now doesn't know her daughter and only recognizes her husband (my brother) after he has been with her a while...such a sad disease and with someone who is so young:(

I also got the offer for the £6 cream tea for two :rotfl:It says valid for 17 days on mine. I might me able to do Wednesday, I'll let you know

My OH when he registered his Sparks card he got a free hot drink, one per day and it was valid for about 2 weeks so all of our shopping over that time centered around places with a Marks caf! - I think he had about 8 free large lattes

His offers now are very tedious, all mens clothing

Also everyone be very careful if you get phonecalls which sound official regarding pension reviews - the calls are coming from a place in Liverpool, girl had a very thick accent - nothing to do with the official direct.gov place in Newcastle

I think a lot of people are expecting letters and estimates etc from Newcastle for pension forecasts etc so if you didn't realise it was a Liverpool number then you could end up with a discussion you don't need to have ...

nice little marks bargain

2 Pack Thermal Pointelle Built Up Shoulder Vests

GREY MARL

£2.99 for 2 - free delivery to store and all sizes seem available. The colour is yuk but as they are for extra winter layers it does not really matter - I suffer with the cold very badly and just put on as many layers as possible

Nice when there's good news for a change.

Love your new sig, by the way.

As for Bay of E - you will do very well I am sure. Not long ago you were saying you couldn't sell anything, now here you are on a roll. Well done. :T

Not much left to list here now, which is a blessing. It's created some much-needed space.
