    Mine haven't arrived yet either - and Viking have given me 60 (not the 3000 that I was expecting ... I wonder if they decided I can't have them as I had a bonus years ago :huh: :().

    Anon

    I've never had a bonus from them before, except for a free Easter hamper for ordering something, I think that might have been gift cards, not sure. That took ages to arrive too - Easter came and went without it, think it was May/June when it arrived.

    Thank you. :)

    I got my hat from Oxfam (in fairness it was new with the tags on) and to this day DD still does not know.

    oh yes, Oxfam have wedding shops now, not thought of that ...

    :D

    Bought new cutlery from IKEA as I'm so fed up of that Ts Alessi cutlery that just falls off your plate, onto the carpet :mad:
    I've put up with it & now it has gone :)

    Snap, it is worth selling this on EBay! (Look how much it goes for). I had to buy some recently as forks seem to disappear in our house! :eek:

    Alternatively, look on an app called citymapper.

    You can use your contactless debit card but don't forget to swipe in and out and also you can check your TFL account afterwards to see if you paid the right amount

    Yes I had problems the last time we were in London ....
