Good Morning
Thank you all for the Birthday Wishes yesterday.
I can confirm that being 60 doesn't feel any different to 59
Just I can get free prescriptions and my buss pass now :j
But it's hard to get my head round the fact I am officially an oldie.

Spent the morning at home, friend came round with her husband and grandson's at lunchtime, as they only had half a day in school, due to parents afternoon.
Rest of the day with Mum in her house.
Was lovely just to be able to share the day with her and feel so lucky to still have her around at 60

Are you in Wales? Unfortunately in England they now won't let you have your bus pass until you reach state pension retirement age:( Really scuppered my plans for turning 60:(

Pretty sure you can't use S gift card to buy fuel any more.

You can with some gift cards. I am still spending one I won some months ago and that doesn't work. But if I return ill fitting clothes, they put the money on a different card and that does work. I've not done it for several weeks now though as I have given up trying to get a better deal and am using my Nectar points on fuel. I only found a few bits in the double up, though I realise I missed out on buying ill fitting clothes. It was a mad weekend for me with family visiting again.

Unless gift cards are different to refund cards.

It's refund cards that I know for certain work on petrol

Just seen this from aau, and that explains it! Thanks aau.

Merseytravel give you the regional pass at 60, I have mine, might be worth checking if you are on the border.

Does anyone know when the week runs to/from with Shoppix please, apparently exceeded the limit :eek:

I think it is a Sunday from my analysis of when I used to exceed my limit (when we could add 3 from same shop a day)

Not up to date but -

mhoc - was it you after knives?

Yes it was me.

I like that these include steak knives as well but I suspect that Eldest son would say they are too dark

What worries me is that there is no reviews of them and I dont trust what they say about the original price.

Now I am in a quandry. I wanted the cream throw as well yesterday and if I get this knife set and the cream throw then I get free delivery. But we also have a lakeland fairly close so possibly I could go and have a look at the quality ...
