    You are perfectly right, Thanks.

    Looked at deal, just a theory, and probably wrong. Please correct my errors.

    No refunds for cancelling "advance" tickets, but "anytime" tickets seem to be refundable??
    So how long until Bees deliver the honey to your account?
    Would booking, say, an anytime £30ish ticket, for say July and cancelling after honey work???

    My small brian hurts ;)

    Terms and Conditions
    1. To qualify for 3,000 bonus points you must book your journey between 16-22 February, for travel by 30 April 2017.

    Edit: Hope that didn't hurt Small Brian too much!!

    Hmm, it should be working ok. You could try going to the JustGiving.com home page and then searching for Team Bobites. I don't think the iPad should make a difference.


    OK will try.

    Same again HG, needs reporting. I will try ringing them, they will be missing lots of donations due to this.
    Cant find any number, will try on a different browser.

    Good afternoon all....

    I haven't really been around the past couple of days...still going through the phase where i'm not good company I'm afraid...unless I get a bee in my bonnet!
    Thankfully there has been a bit of sun today so I have tried to go out....we needed food so off I went and seemed to fill the fridge with a load of stuff that has no rhyme or reason to it...oh well!

    I seem to be going through a phase where in spite of everything else and it being 4 years since she passed away,it's my mum I'm missing....not just the mum who was ill for many years before her death,but the mum of 20 or even 30 years ago back when she was the person who along with my dad made everything right.
    My dearest OH has been an absolute wonder in all my rambling and ranting and has been patient beyond belief with me over the past few weeks.....but I have found it very difficult to talk about and even more difficult to understand why I'm suddenly so upset....I know it will pass and if I'm honest each day is getting easier.

    this popped into my email this morning from a friend who read it and though of me it seems quite apt.

    I am watching over you,
    so do not be afraid.
    All the times you've wished me near
    I'm never far away

    I've watched you cry yourself to sleep
    And I wipe your tears away
    I've been here through the special times
    And all of the special days

    I know you know that I did not leave
    By choice - I would have stayed
    But I am watching, proud of you
    And the decisions that you've made.


    Onwards to the weekend..a little sunshine and spring round the corner x

    It's hard LEJC. It's been 16 years since I lost my Dad and still some days it just engulfs. Thinking of you and wishing you swift days filled with happier memories.
