Coming down thick and fast here in W Yorkshire. Stay safe all those who have to travel.

Good morning Elite.
The snow has just started but still a bit sleety at the moment.
Stay warm and safe, and hugs all around.

Morning guys.

It's snowing hard and fast in Pudsey in West Yorkshire

My condolences to the family and loved ones of Savy Sal. Cancer indeed is a very cruel disease

With the beans glitch, does it work with just the normal baked beans please? Not a fan of flavoured ones! Tia

My understanding is not. I think just these work:

Just back from walkies . Main road was like an ice rink cars going snail pace gridlocked both ways. Delivery drivers from 3 supermarkets parked in lay by talking to each other.

Cant believe how much snow had fallen in 45 mins. More to come the sky is pure white.

Nice to see you northerngeezer :hello:

If they are included in the 5 for £3 offer instore they should glitch as the multi is not showing online - but the base price is only 75p, so the return is not very good compared to the others identified.

75x5=£3.75, match £3, so £1.05 back on £3 spend, net £1.95/39p a can.

Good morning..:wave:...It's been raining heavy since early doors......Dark grey blanket cloud...Not good, but the good thing is...It won't last forever...Spring is around the corner and I see the spring bulbs are poking their heads out in the garden....Soon we will have lots of colour...and the warmth of the spring sun shining upon us.....Already hearing the dawn twitter from the garden.......

Had to purchase a couple more bird feeders yesterday as the long tailed rats have destroyed two this week....funny little blighters...always nibbling on my nuts...:rotfl:...

I went to get a new ironing board yesterday but no luck...I couldn't get what I wanted so instead I got myself a new rotary clothes line....Minky with a 50% reduction in Homebase...They have loads of reduced items at the moment...Worth a look if you are nearby one...

Right, I am orf to do something..Don't ask me what as I really don't have a clue...But I feel the urge to do something...:rotfl::rotfl:..Tata for now...:D

I wrote to Amex at the beginning of December complaining about their live chat service when I asked about One Stop stores and small shops and the mumpty at the end of the phone didn't listen properly and simply looked at the online map for me. I pointed out that the map was rubbish and I had raised this issue the previous year. I also complained that they were going to increase my credit limit to something totally daft and told me I could send a secure message to refuse this. However, the secure message service wasn't actually available and there isn't an email address either. So I wrote them a real letter! I also expressed sorrow that the Post Office offer wasn't available to me.

They confirmed that One Stop wasn't included in the small shops this year and that the Post Office offer wasn't available to me and that the letter was wrong about secure messages and I was right that they and emails are not possible! And then they said they would credit me £30. Shame that they didn't consider solving any of the issues!

I've just found the letter. RL has been so hard recently that I have been in chaos for a while and am discovering all sorts of interesting piles of stuff in my study...

What I really want to find before the end of the day is an ipad cover which needs mending and which I seem to have put down somewhere in an absent moment. I have just decided it is time to enlist St Anthony...
