Good morning lovely peoples :wave:

Hope everyone is well :A

Upon the [STRIKE]orders[/STRIKE] advice of our lovely TM :A I have made baklava for the kiddies train journey to keep them warm.

I’ve had some disappointing news
I was hoping to escape from the clutches of Dr Doom and have my NHS cancer care taken over by another Oncologist at a different NHS hospital. But I have been declined! How to make a man feel wanted lol

Afternoon elite, hope you all had a fabulous Christmas & New Year involving loads of post Christmas bargains. I did lurk while away and was quite envious of some of the bargains.

I did bring a food vacuum with 2 full rolls of bags from a charity shop for $5 home with me.

Just been to Wilko and they have Simply Straight heated ceramic brush for $2 reduced from their reduced price of $19.99. Still $24.99 in sada. Don't know if these are any good but might be useful for someone. (like this one:https://www.superdrug.com/Hair-Dryers-&-Electrical-Styling-Tools/JML-Simply-Straight-Heated-Hair-Straightening-Brush/p/712073)

Sorry about the dollar signs but the new laptop is from Australia and I don't know how to get pound sign:o

Are you using the redirect from nectar?

There’s a Waverley to Haymarket virgin train leaving at 6.52 on Monday morning for £1.20

I know it’s early but there will be other children on board:D

:o:o a bit late coming to the party but I've booked Missy onto the 6.52am on Monday - she doesn't like peanut butter, so I'll prepare her some Marmite butties instead

(that was easier than I had thought, why did I shy away for so long? )

My boy could travel with yours but it keeps saying that it's travel with CrossCountry, and it does not say VT.

Would that matter?

personally i`d book a virgin train never had a problem getting points when used the journey anon suggested,although maybe telford maybe getting more school kids visiting if thats a virgin train,thanks kerri gt.:D

What we all need now is a 35 minute delay on all trains :rotfl:

A genuine question.

What do the gritters do when they are not gritting?

There must be a huge amount of money tied up in them by local councils.

Do they have a summer job? Or do they stand idle for the majority of the year?

I always presumed gritter people where bin men
