I can use my bus pass at any time in my local area but there’s little chance of me being up before 9.30 am anyway! I can travel into Wales as well as long as my journey starts in Cheshire west and Chester area, probably won’t be thinking about that until next spring/summer though.
Only thing that annoys me cant use til after 9.30am local bus every hour 9.15am lol
Wonder if there is a cut off time at night ?
Like you i added tram and trains
Mr Rusty's bus pass came today. It's says you can travel between 9.30 and 11pm. We don't have buses that travel that late. Wonder how many over 66 get the bus back from the pub at night in city's and towns🤔
Here, the last bus to go past our bungalow leaves the bus station at 11-00pm, and gets here just before 11-30.
Officially an OAP in December, I 'retired' early at 58 when I was pensioned off on health grounds. The extra pension will come in handy, WiFi already has some 'ideas'.
Welcome to retirement Shirley and Sleazy. I have only recently started to use my bus pass and am loving it. In Greater Manchester you can pay £10 a year to add trams and trains. I’ve used mine for a trip from the airport so it’ll pay for itself quickly. It was also very useful when meeting an anxious friend at Bolton station as I could just go through the barriers to meet her at the platform. I know buses are easier when the weather isn’t bad but I’m looking forward to bus trips into central Manchester and am going away to visit a friend later this week and we are planning bus trips!
Sleazy, if only we were older, we’d have had our passes at 60! But I’ve decided just to rejoice in what I have rather than what I didn’t get.

Funnily enough my friend received her free bus pass last week and was under the impression she could only use it from 9.30 to 11.00. I knew she was wrong on that one so looked it up. I now know the cut off time is 11pm not 11am as she thought 😂
We've been chewing on with the smoke alarm for days. Buying the batteries. Still chirping. Changing the batteries as the unit specifically recommends Duracell. Still chirping. Mains on and off. Still chirping. Googling. Pressing reset button. Still chirping.
And realised last night that it was the battery in the carbon monoxide detector. Which we totally forgot about, up a height and out of sight😳😳😳🥴
😳😳🤗🤣
Yes we had the same in the cottage. It was a fixed unit, couldn't get it too open, so I rang the local fire station & they came & replaced it free & checked dates on all the smoke alarms 😁

Apologies - just back today and head is fuzzy. Regarding the Morrisons more app and the nappy packs - this had only just been added to the app as we went away so I dont know what was the result.
Can I buy both packs together? or do I need to buy one at a time? Do I need to make a minimum spend as well as a nappy pack? Or do I need to make a minimum spend and also get the 2 packs together?
Ideally I want to buy 2 packs together and not spend more - well only the free COSitem - also hoping that there will be some stocks left in the big store.
I've only been online about 3 times in the last 10 days but I dont seem to have missed anything exciting ....

Also Stocard - my app says that it is closing in a fortnight and I have to open the Klarna app instead - not happy with this as I dont buy things on credit. Has anyone swapped over their Stocard to Klarna and has it gone smoothly?

I got the two packs of nappies together in the same shop mhoc. All sizes seemed to be low stock or not at all in my store. Managed a pack from off the top.
Oh snap you'll have us all getting the local fireman in 😉😂
I've survived another week. It was completely mental on Monday with storm claims. Hard telling folk who haven't maintained their roof they aren't covered by insurance. Some folk really don't like being told No. And I get it probably paid for years never claimed and when they need it it's not for something they can.
It goes against my ethos as my instinct is to help but for now it's paying for us to sort some over due things like TM said.
Roadworks should be away this week. They've been an absolute pain in the Harris.
LBC - can I have a late lunch of bacon and eggs please. My diets so restricted now adays. I actually sent an email to HR to ask what alternatives they can offer people on restricted diets for what ever conditions or religious etc. She not replied yet. These offices are stuffed with doughnuts cake and sweets and it's constant.
I was offered again and again I said no I'm diabetic. The look on the woman's face. Unusuallly I took the bate. And said rhats what bothers me , not the doughnut, not the no alternative , the disgusting look from the offerer of said doughnut like I've just spat on it. The poor woman was "oh god I'm sorry I didn't mean it". I said "no it's fine just very frustrating cause I do actually like doughnuts, just not those cr4p glazed Krispy Kreme ones" .I mean if your gonna buy anything make sure it's got jam,custard or cream in it !
Anyways that was my rant. Out this morning , ordered Mr BB a new tablet. His other one keeps crashing, 12% OFF one4all and £50 giftcard back and nipped to matalan got some Clothes 20% off £40 and one4all I got for 12% off. And Tesco to spend voucher got from vouchercloud.
The wife in Argos was beyond tremendous, its not usually my favourite store. Weirdly she reminded me of a young version of my mum. But she also took all ELEVEN of my one4all cards. Even though some of them were like 3 or 4 pounds. We had a right laugh and she took delivery charge off. 🤣
My receipt .... is over 3ft long and I've to upload it to redeem a gift card from the offer 😃😀😄😁🤣😂
More than made my week.Very serendipitous.
Hope everyone's OK ❤
What is deemed maintaining their roofs?
I'd never really thought about what snacks are suitable for someone with diabetes.... all I can think of is nuts and carrots but I maybe totally wrong!
We really enjoyed Breaking Bad....we recommended it to a friend recently and she was addicted to it, and finished the entire series in record time
We have just watched the first and second series of The Twelve...that was quite good...would watch a third series if they make it.
We did Homeland and we are now doing 'The Americans' which I am quite enjoying as it is set in an era I remember well.
Southampton striker Ben Brereton Diaz has now played 20 Premier League games without enjoying a victory (drawn five, lost 15), the most of any player in the history of the competition.
