    Good morning Elite :hello:

    Cloudy and cool here but it smells and feels oh so fresh out there :)

    Hugs to those in need there are a few of you xx

    Off to have a read back.

    Has anyone been able to contact Savvy, bless him, he must think we have run off and left him :eek: Munqui might have the key to this solution?

    Back later X

    I can PM Savvy on here (bound to be full), but don't have his email/phone/facebook etc :(

    I think he will have taken the closed message at face value and will check back as the team said it would be reviewed.

    edit to add:

    1. Savvybuyer has exceeded their stored private messages quota and cannot accept further messages until they clear some space.

    :rotfl:

    Clear out those messages Savvy!

    God morning folks
    the water on cos has gone but if you press claim it

    shows up ....does anyone think it will still be able to buy todayand claim it or will it be too late :)

    Really is nice to have us all back :)

    If you have a receipt from yesterday or the 6 days before, yes you can still claim. Do not buy today though as it is not available to claim against today's date in the front or back end on either CoS or CS.

    I would have had no problems with getting out at the traffic lights in my dressing gown :)

    I had a Knee length nightie and a dressing gown .Only trouble is belt is missing and it was quite a few yards from where I had to park to the Karcher. HaHa

    a question pretty please

    I've been wearing walking trainers like karrimores from places like sports direct for years, very comfortable and I generally also have a new pair in readiness. my only complaint being that they seem to wear through the heels very quickly - hence why I ended up with sodden feet at the weekend

    I had a quick look in sports direct at the weekend but despite the place being the size of a warehouse they only seemed to have one style and that was £30 :(

    so I've just had a look on their website - I seem to think they have a weird return and refund policy so I've never ordered from them
    they have a huge range online of karrimores starting from £9 but when I filter for size 5.5 or 6 mostly the price rises again. also they have running shoes which look similar to walking trainers so I can't tell the difference. the runners are a bit cheaper
    so I also had a look at sketchers - same problem, cheapest ones in a size 5.5 or 6 is about £30

    the price is not really such an issue if I can get what I need I just want really comfortable light weight walking trainers that it can walk in all day, lace ups in a dark colour as I attract mud, plus they have to last longer than a year which seems to be the life span of karrimores

    I've got walking sandals for nice weather and main paths but I like feet covered in when we go on uneven ground.

    I don't like proper walking obits with hight backs on the heels

    mind you stinky trainers are probably not hygienic after a year.

    if the under £15 ones lasted only a year I would not mind so much as you would think of those as disposable in the shoe bank but paying a minimum of £30 is not as good.

    any suggestions?

    Good morning everyone.

    Put a load of washing in the machine, and now its started to rain.

    Packed my eldest and his 5 friends off on the train yesterday to our holiday home, now 4 days of panic that they behave :eek:
    Nice to see the elite back.
    Bit the bullet and signed up :)

    not sure where my other post went?
