    Elaine well done!

    I've never seen those many reductions in any store before.
    I think all my stores have much better stock control than yours, sadly.......

    It was as if the bakery and sandwich section had forgotten it was closed tomorrow.

    I'm sure I love my DW very much but this afternoon she decided to mash both doors and the front and rear wings of our car on a metal post that apparently jumped out into the road....it is no doubt a write off, I was hoping we could buy it back, replace the wing mirror and carry on using but she has really gone to town. both doors are badly bent not just scratched/dented so there is no economic route to keep it on the road. Value if we are lucky 1500, excess 400, value as scrap possibly 200-400 - I wonder if it is worth an insurance claim or just sell for parts on ebay and avoid the premium increases.


    Oh dear, well at least she isn't injured.

    Important thing is, is she safe and welll? If so, nothing else matters. Metal can be fixed, sometimes people can’t.

    Too many to mention, head on over to the savings forums, you'll find loads of chat there, but P O is quick n easy.
    I've had to redistribute my DDs over 16 accounts.

    Thank you - I will have a read through and see if it is time to close some, as between Mrs Anon and I we will need 33 accounts x 2 DD to replace the current ones :eek:

    3 Hali x2
    3 BoS x2
    2 T x2
    2 TeSB x2
    1 Ll0ds x2
    2 NWide x2
    1 NWest x2
    2 x San x2
    1 x HeSBC

    It may be some of these don't need the DD ... and the above doesn't include our FD main accounts :D.

    We had already switched out and closed 6 YB accounts ... it was good while it all lasted :).

    DDs not required for T/NWIDE/HSBC/NW/TSB. Have you not got M&S, which you do need DDs for ?
