    Hi TM
    Glad you have had a lovely day:T:T

    Hello bubbs......lovely....our roast dinner was really nice. I did a chicken and pork loin from Lidl which I can strongly recommend:)

    Once again it's been beautiful. I've been putting some onion sets in. It felt like a summers day:)

    I would appreciate any advice as to the best Vehicle Breakdown Cover. I haven't bothered with any up till now but, as the new car I got for my DIL who had her Motobility car taken away broke down with a flat battery 2 weeks after I bought it, I am feeling a bit concerned that mine might break down on me !

    I have looked at RAC AA and Green Flag all via the Top Cash Back site. AA is very expensive for the full package and implies that the cost will rise after the first year. RAC works out at around £120 with £50 cashback and Green Flag comes in at £49 with £14 cash back. So Green Flag looks like the best option - does anyone have any comments on the choice between RAC and Green Flag and their reliability please ? Or any other suggestions ?
    tbw.....nationwide flex plus account costs £10 per month, you then get breakdown cover (including europe), worldwide travel insurance, mobile phone insurance, extended warranty on appliances,...particularly worthwhile if you have 2 vehicles, as a joint account will cover both.

    Evening folks :)

    Thank you for your lovely birthday wishes :D

    The party last night was fabulous. A lot of people didn't show up but those who did all had a great time. I have been blessed with lots of cards and very generous gifts. Didn't do much today but earlier me, MG and my parents went out for a birthday/Mother's Day meal and now I'm back home again doing not a lot lol

    Good afternoon Elite.
    Hoping everyone is warm, happy and well. Hugs to those not so.
    Happy Birthday DD. And Happy Mothers' Day to all.
    I'm heading north of the border for a few days tomorrow so just wondering what the weather might want me to pack....

    Glorious today

    Are you passing near any of us for a quick elite meet up ?

    Have a lovely time!

    I'd take a bit of everything - especially warm bed socks and a HWB and a woolly cardigan. You can always take things off... :rotfl:

    Happy Mother's Day to all the mums out there, hope you had a good day.

    I'm just enjoying some of the free COS beer and cider.

    I've just tried an online refund of sharpies that were subbed and I'm getting a strange message

    'Sorry, order do not have any items to display'

    First of all, it is not grammically correct and secondly the order does have items so I'm sure what it means, has anyone got any ideas?

    This coud be another £50 I am going to have to write off, I think I will click no subs in future.

    Can I ask if you received an invoice with this order with amounts and are there any items on the order an app or Web.?

    Yes, got an invoice. Got the 3 usual emails

    1 - Thanks for shopping
    2 - Order is being picked
    3 - We have an update with invoice (at this point I knew 10 sharpies were being subbed)

    Just basic groceries and the sharpies on the order.

    Ordered and collected on Friday but it took until today before it said I had collected it and I could check the APG.

    Webites says you have 3 days to claim a refund online so I may not be able to try again tomorrow and I don't want to ring.
