    6.10 seems awfully late for children to be on trains, mind you,I suppose they should be ok as there will probably quite a few children on the same train, same time..:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Or early, isnt 06.10 in the morning :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)

    I think my S had the wrong signs up this morning - they had the "double up from today" sign up and no signs anywhere of swipe and win

    I never usually bother with swipe and win cos you need to spend more than £10 and I struggle in that shop to spend that much :eek:

    I know what you mean Queenie.....some ideas

    Coupon shop using SSM vouchers.

    Cashback items?

    Barefoot Shiraz £5.75 with £1.50 cashback

    Sugar, porridge, tea bags

    Cat food shop using Gourmet coupons

    I've been reading about this buyagift £15 discount but I cant find anything I actually want or things close to where any of my offspring are.

    There are some nice vineyard tours but in Oxford and a nice afternoon tea but its London based so by the time you factored in petrol and an overnight stay ...
    I suppose the various chain restaurant deals are good. I have an abundance of Pizza Express ones to use up though and again there is the logistics.

    I got the Ask voucher.....£14.99 for a 3 course meal for two people with a glass of wine each:)

    I haven't been yet ... I need to drive round a bit first to make more space for fuel :D.
