    Thank you, is there another one you can reccommend as well as I have £50 but maybe £60 and gin is required ( people have all chipped in for a present )

    Or perhaps this, something a little interesting, a kit to infuse your own gin

    Grrrrrrrrrrrr kids!! or get him cheap £10 one

    So annoyed with him, he came home last night and said he had left it at a friends house on charge, but when he went back to fetch it, no one could find it. I think he has lost it at the beach and doesnt want to tell us.

    Its on a 2 year contract aswell.

    I was reading back so I thought it was a question about train routes which is the nearest thing to my area of expertise.
    Eldest child is quite good with cheap train fairs

    but it was a gin question :)

    I have not drunk enough gin to be an expert yet, it may take some time ...

    Oh i thought you were the gin expert, seems like DM is:D

    This is more of a Gin liqueur, but they tastes are amazing, so fresh, just like rhubarb and ginger. Really a lovely drink.

    I have tasted various Edinburgh gins at various food festivals eg Shugbough in the rain - not full strength but all gorgeous especially the elderflower version :)

    My daughter is the worlds worst for losing things. We now make her buy replacements and it certainly is helping. This weekend she lost new ballet tights, made her buy new ones. Of course they actually turned up so now she has 2 pairs! She lost her coat on day 2 of wearing it. I told her either she bought a replacement or I would buy the cheapest coat I could find, she quickly bought her own!

    We have told him he will have to buy his new one, as we bought the last 2 and he is so careless :mad:

    I would be too, i think you can get replacement sim, then just put in cheap phone, he will learn the hard way;)

    You have called up and had it locked? (Just incase it had slipped your mind)

    If it's on contract won't they just send a replacement?
    I don't know about contract ones as never had one.

    Or is it insured?
