    Evening all! Been away for a couple of weeks and trying to catch up, so please excuse the randomness of the following quotes, but here goes!

    Had read it on a few forums late last year, then when I went away in Feb I had to wait about an hour and a half with turning up early. Still got on earlier, but they definitely gave the ones turning up well before their time a different lettered/coloured card.

    This happened to me last year, got there at 12, knowing we'd been given a 2 o'clock boarding time, and we were made to wait until the right time.
    OH has just announced that we need 100 patrice boxes for block walls.....and god knows how many for stud walling..... I wished they gave me the money off for other things!

    :o:o:o:o:o

    Not sure if it's of any use SSM, but we've been doing our house up and got these boxes cheapest in wilkinson and screwfix.

    Finally, thanks to whoever posted the Mr Shoes glitch originally, not sure who it was, and thanks to TS for posting a clear enough explanation that meant I could get some from my wish list around lunchtime today, first glitch in ages!! :D

    Just logged on to say, with farmfood multi offers there is no need to buy 2 of the same items.
    You can buy any 2 of the 2 for a £1 items, so 1 milk plus 1 Orange juice or 1 loaf etc.

    that's because the MSE rule states "Forum users mustn't post comments more than once on the forum (the only exception is members of the MSE Team)".

    Only post something once then you won't be breaking the rule and potentially be banned.

    I tried to post a list but they did not allow me to post anything.... and the banned the IP :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Sport is such a hard thing to make decisions on, you get so much out if it but there was always the saying in trampolining no pain no gain. :eek:

    Not for me to be competitive. :o

    I was reading earlier about the two lads who came first and second in the British Trampoline championships yesterday. The one who came first is the one I mentioned before having broke both his arms but I feel so sorry for the lad who came second, he is about the same age as DD2, she used to go to Liverpool and train with the team up there occasionally. Anyway this lad had a really bad accident when he was 15 and nearly lost his leg, but he worked hard and got back his fitness and still carried on with his dream of getting to the Olympics. I know just before DD2 retired he was jumping really well again and then another spill in early 2015 another broken leg another set back. The scores were so close yesterday, both very deserving to go to Rio. Think there is one more trial but I think the first lad will get to go.

    Mr TM must be in shock with what happened today, but tomorrow he may look at it in a different light. What's your gut feeling TM, are you allowed to influence him? x

    It's too dangerous TS...too many inexperienced riders taking unnecessary risks:o

    It's good to see you still keep up with what's happening in the world of trampolining. I think it must be hard to switch off when you've been so involved previously:)

    I've not caught up here either - are the 2L milks in Farmfoods now back on 2 for £1 again? (Not sure why anyone would buy a loaf for 50p:rotfl:. Or an Orange Juice - I assume 1L - when Aldi has been down to 45p:rotfl::rotfl:. The 2L milk is the thing that is worth 50p each:D:T. In fact, it's probably "worth" somewhat more (I should not give things such little value:eek:) - however it is good for us:money:.)

    Well I hope Mr TM makes the right decision. xx

    At least you find your trampolining legs on your own so any risks are your own too. Not that you would ever have got me up on one. :eek:

    DD2 thinks I'm quite sad when I still ask her questions about how her old team mates are getting on. But I still get the British Gymnastics newsletters so I get snippets. ;)

    It's quite exciting this year to think I may personally know and have spent time with an Olympian. Watched them grow up from a little un. :A
