Buses cancelled as well Sarahdol

SHREWSBURY SERVICE UPDATE - All services operating from Shrewsbury and Oswestry depots are now suspended until further notice due to the weather, apologies for any inconvenience caused

OO - both of my sisers come from that direction and I am meeting them next week - not in Shrewbury though but they both use buses - hopefully the snow will have vanished before next week.

We had a strange conversation with a Southampon taxi driver this morning about 8 oclock - we asked him about the snow and he could not quite understand that we meant north - ie more north than Southampton

Snow was bad from before Birmingham, in full flow by Stafford and its finally caught up with us now so its moving north ...

Following on from this my sunlife Amazon arrived while we were away - assuming the payment went through for December but I've not checked yet

What do I do now - how do I cancel the payments?

I've got a note on the google calendar which says for this weekend

"Has the Sunlife £100 amazon e voucher arrived - if so cancel direct debit"

The 1st payment went out but no sign of the e voucher yet - has anyone else had theirs yet?

Blacklist, I think I know what has happened, it happened to me. Look in the little window of the cracker and the lip liner in with the lipstick has a barcode on it which scans through the till if it is facing that way as opposed to the barcode on the cracker box. Frustrating I know.....:(

I finaly got on to the system and worked it out. Your absolutely correct. One to watch out for if anybody's getting these lip crackers.

Marigold did a little shop for me.Couldn't be bothered to do two shops.Happy enough with £4.24.

Your sister must wonder what on earth will be glitching from one week to the next sal. It sounds like she’s very good at not adding random items and ruining the comparison. You have her well trained:D

That's amazing! Congrats.

I'm with three who have free use abroad in certain countries, not sure if NZ is right but certainly worth looking :-)

Does anyone have the Nero app?

If you use it to pay then at the moment you get 2 crackers instead of one. At worst you will get an extra stamp on your virtual loyalty card but the other prizes are very useful

https://caffenero-yoyowallet.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115003181153-TERMS-CONDITIONS

I've only used my app three times and so far I've won a hot drink, a cake and an extra stamp so quite a good result.

Has the virgin red app still got the buy one drink get another drink free offer?

Fab news! :T

Good evening Elite.
Hoping everyone is warm, happy and well. Hugs to those not so. LEJC - hope you find your beans soon.

We only had a little snow this morning but it lingered and is now freezing over. :eek: Really slippery underfoot. We are forecast more on Sunday. Take care whilst out and about peeps.
