    A mate of ours says it may be a compression joint especially if new pipe work was linked to old. Not heard anything from our plumber yet but it is the weekend.

    Right off for quick shower here then home for me. Catch you all later.

    After your last post where you said the water was re routed in an S configuration that was going to be my next suggestion....

    We went through several sources of water leaks renovation a house a few years back and installing central heating and re routing and changing configurations....I have quite a good plumbing knowledge as a result!

    Sorry - trying to find cheap Disney napkins etc until my eyes have crossed this morning...

    We have had hardly any help from anyone towards this event...
    And it now has become the talk of the town, because we did have help from someone who has redesigned the posters & it now looks like a professional Disney event now & it's not :( & I had no say..
    It's just 3 people trying to raise money for Charity :o

    Can't wait for the aftermath on FB :(

    Well done trulymadly. I did venture to asda on thursday night at the time I thought they did final reductions. Kept hanging around and then got chatting to another regular who said that they varied the whoopsie time each night and sometimes it could be 2 hours later so I left. Resorted to tesco last night and did manage to bag 3 value frozen cheesecakes for 56p each Nice dessert for family barbecue.
    Dont forget to check your tcb account in case anything has gone to paid to convert to tesco vouchers before end of month. My nationwide credit card has just gone to payable to a nice amount of points for a change. Must 'take care' of these points as they are going to be very few and far between now this avenue has closed.
    Anon - I had missed your posts and wondered where you were - welcome back.
    Rhos - cant wait to see the photos

    Thank you - first day back and then promptly scuppered by my car hospitalised in the garage waiting for parts :(. So still no nearer catching up on cashback offers :o.

    Summer will see more limited Elite activity for me as we have lots of trips planned while school is out :cool:.

    Speaking of which, has anyone experience of L3goland Windsor this season please? We have Tr4velodge booked and using our T3sco CC bought annual passes (top tip - buy your passes a few weeks into the summer holiday and you can cover two summer holidays - this is our fourth year of summer holiday visits and we have only paid for 2 annual passes :D).

    We just need to buy the free refillable drink and slush cups when we get there (if they are still available?) and we will be sorted :cool:. No point buying one each as there is no limit on refilling, so just keep going back for more :D. Tr4velodge breakfrast buffet to start the day, snacks midday that we take in and then the discount meals onsit from later in the afternoon was our tactic last year (umlimited pizza/pasta was popular and worked out reasonable when kids eat free). Anyone considering it, we have found Tr4velodge Slough and Terminal 5 Heathrow have offered the best rates and very accessible for L3goland.

    Any other tips please?

    Many thanks
