You & I know they are brilliant especially the Defea for compartments but I think TM is more upmarket than us

(saying that I do own a leather Defea but have never used it.. )

Quite a few of us on here have Kipling bags

I was just pushing TM towards our taste of bags

I got a new Kipling purse for Christmas and prefer it to the old style this one.

Thanks Seren are you one ?. No it’s not especially when she s holding down a demanding job with the council in financing ( she goes to schools to discuss their budget ) amongst other things and has the two young children.

No but I've sometimes wished I was

I've only assisted accountants on a temp basis in the past, I used to do the clients' book-keeping for two accountants, and it was fascinating. Shoe-boxes full of a year's worth of tatty receipts, that sort of thing. I used to transform all the muddle into tidy books so that the guys had accurate figures to work with.

Dawn is in a different league altogether, definitely not easy for her with a job and family as well. But the rewards will be worth it.

Thanks for that, thought I didn't recognise the name.... Nearest centre 218 miles away . Kwik fit a couple of pounds cheaper and then the CB and freebie.

Sorry about that I thought they were nationwide.
I'm a misinformer again......

Looking for an additional Droid to activate an account for your OH . Pixi 3 price has dropped again. Note no NFC so this cannot be used to play the game, just to activate a new account.

https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/ee-alcatel-one-touch-pixi-3-35-inch-1499-499-10-top-up-argos-collection-2876275

Now down to £4.99 in Arg0s - in theory £10 top up required, but order online and pay with Fasttrack collection and only pay £4.99.

CEX seem to be paying £15 for trade in.

Untested... but ordered ready for activating at the end of the month so I can play in February . You are limited to ordering 1 from Arg0s ... per order it seems .

HTH

I fancy giving it another try, but I only have one account that I can set up on it, and thats the one I used. My other accounts are Starling bank and Barclays, and neither are listed as being able to use on the droid app

Been shopping online for 2 front tyres.
Did a bit of research
http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/accessories-tyres/92873/all-season-tyre-test-20172018-results-by-category

Checked prices for nearly all fitters etc.

Best Price for my choice of Michelin was Kwik Fit, also says you can get free mobile fitting for 2 or more tyres.

Best price per tyre by at least £10. also freebie winter care kit when ordered online
https://www.kwik-fit.com/offers/michelin-winter-kit-offer and CB from Q 3.5%TCB 3.28%

Still just about £100 each :eek: but as car is the newest I have ever had, I want to make sure I get th best I can.

Hope this can help others who may be looking for tyres.

Also you normally get your receipt in a wee booklet that sometimes has money off stuff in it. I know the staff at my local and have always had good service from them.

I am shocked the Vredestein Quatrac are not on that test, as they usually come top/near the top. I can personally recommend them, great tyres, and amazing in the snow. Cheaper than some of the other makes too.
