If they appear on the results, I would have thought they'd count as an item. It was bag for life that didn't count - or initially did and then stopped counting, but did that continue to appear on results?:think:

What time was this, with £6 price for M?



There's no "safe side" on this point for me - if you are buying 11 or 12 items, and therefore 11 or 10 others in addition to the newspaper, that's enough items for me and therefore is then no need to buy the paper. Defeats the point of whether the paper counts or not. In order to be of value, it has to be the paper counting as an item and as the final item needed in order to get the 10 - no more than absolutely necessary. If the paper counts, then there is no need to buy any more than 9 other different counting items. If it doesn't, then there is no point buying it and spending any money whatsoever on it - as I am strict money-saving - and only 10 different items that all count should be bought (if anything at all is bought:rotfl:).

Evening peeps.

Can anyone recommend cheap all day parking near the docks please in Liverpool?
Tia.

Don't know if there's any cheap parking anywhere tbh.

The Albert Dock is OK, handy, convenient, safe, flat and accessible, but £15 for 12 hrs or £20 for 24 hrs, acc to website.

If it was me, I'd sooner park there than anywhere else just for the convenience, especially if you're going as a family.

Brunswick station has a small car park and lots of parking around this area for free on main road. One stop into city centre or a stroll along the dock road.

In fact I had more of a problem logging into Tesco Bank tonight. Never had any problems logging in before as far as I remember. It came back with "tescobank.com is unavailable" despite having gone through the process of already giving me a code to log on via the telephone. I thought I would have no access at all to Tesco Bank online for the rest of the day:(. However, I went back to the start, including the code from the phone a second time, and then had my password screen and logged in with no problem. If the site was unavailable for me, it was unavailable for a few seconds.

I also had reason to go to my accounts with HSBC tonight. I did a transfer out (I'd done one earlier in the evening) and then about a minute later tried to do another transfer only to be told I had missed the cut-off for that day and the money would now go tomorrow if I clicked yes. Very strange as, if there was a cut-off, it was literally at around five minutes to eight this evening - the transfer immediately before went tonight but the next one was somehow after a cut-off?:huh: Not to worry though as it's hardly material - the big transfer went but the one that is now going tomorrow is a very small sum indeed (maybe that was the problem?) - neither gets interest where it lands and is just waiting for something else and will settle itself, unlike the big transfer that is now right where I want it and is getting interest - the bigger problem is that my Regular Saver, which has matured, is still there at the moment and not allowing me to open a new one straight away.

Thanks.
That's where we usually park when visiting.
Normally opposite The Beatles Story.
I just wondered if there was somewhere near to less than £15......
I agree that it's the ideal spot

My other option was to get the ferry across from Seacombe.

Morning paw sniffers:D

Day 3 of kitchen chaos and day 2 of training in Newcastle. Great thing about training is seeing folk I haven't seen in ages, good coffee and a stroll around the toon. I'm going to try and leg it to Waites in my lunch half hour to get my free coffee, mag and hopefully some "bits":D

Thank you for your post Lisam on the mullers, Lango for trying yesterday and izzeyb this morning for clarification. :T:T:T
It will have to be done after work today....and what a long day it's going to be:o:)

Thanks izzyb for your early morning work.

WonTwo offers renew today, nothing so far.

Remember using you own re-usable bottle is better for the environment. Plastic ones can be hard to keep properly clean and hygenic, a metal one is easier to keep clean and last much longer,
