    Morning :wave:

    Hope all's well

    I'm excited as everytime the mystery twine boxes come up, I've normally not got any money to get one, but am getting paid on Friday and they're still available. Hoping to splash out on a fizzy, but am aware they might run out of stock on Thursday!

    I've no idea why tm has 50 freddos! I've seen cs are giving cb on 5, are they reduced?

    I would have done that but to be honest we are not actually that impressed with it, and price difference was not enough to force my hand (we buy the 18 pack from Aldi for £3.99 [I think!] and prefer that).

    we had had the W on pyo and this was far better...
    I hadn't tried Aldi only manage to get there once in a blue moon as opposite end of town to where I usually go but I will put on my aldi list for when I next visit :T

    Most recycling gets resorted before it gets recycled round here we have several warehouses where it gets done, at home all recycling is separated into 4 boxes at work it goes in one wheelie bin . I feel I know more than I should about the subject as ds2 and dds oh both work on the lorries. .
    You would be surprised the things people put out, tools like spanners, saws and screw drivers in cans. Decent books in the cardboard , coins, stamps, photo frames the list is endless and so wasteful

    My Mums neighbour died last year and her relatives basically put most of her belonging ( loads of books ) out on the pavement for rubbish. I put the books in my boot and after taking out ones I though would sell I took rest to charity shop. She was a teacher who taught Idi Amin's children for many years and had some really old Books. I sell one about once a month but usually get a £5.00. It was quite sad they even threw out her wedding pics.

    How sad Rose. I hope my DS will have more thought than that, actually I'm sure he will and he is quite money savvy too, but it is part of my current mission to begin the huge de-clutter so that there is not too much to go through when we are gone.

    Bryn seems a bit brighter :)

    He slept under the bed, Mrs Tibbs slept on the bed - it was like a competition with the sneezing & coughing :(

    Morning


    Can I ask for some help possibly though pm's


    If I recall correctly there are a couple of ops who have children with autism


    I have a couple who work for the same company as me who are really struggling with their son. I have some knowledge of the system and have offered to help to look into what they may be entitled to PIP /tax credits etc , classroom assistant in case he cant get into the special school (may not be the correct wording)


    Just wondering if there is anything more I can research to help them


    They are generally too proud to accept help and its taken me a year to get them to this stage but they are so struggling now


    Thanks
