What's the betting they have none in stock and that you spend £20 on other miscellaneous tat :)
Checked the local Big B&M and no sign of these ever being sold there. The corned beef shelf had no gaps and no 50p stickers.

Building a 'Skin' account, I'm going to play Switch&Skim with high-street banks.... Its about the only legal way to get a decent payout without locking a massive chunk of cash away for years.

Could you explain that for us, please.

Wonder no more. they do! :)

We should exact a price on them by boycotting the store. But B&M is the nearest thing some of us has for a hobby :)

I had a close call driving this evening - nearly hit two children who walked out in front of me without looking, wearing almost entirely black. Despite both parties being perfectly fine (I guess the kids were a bit shaken), I still feel sick as even nearly hitting a kid is my worst nightmare.

So I've dug out my fluorescent armbands that have flashy red lights in them so I can wear them on my coat (which is black) if I have to walk out in the dark. Tonight has reminded me that I need to be much more visible when I'm a pedestrian at night. I'll look out one of my head torches that has a red light option to carry in my backpack in case I need to attach it to my bag so I would be visible from the back.

Little man has his grey coat.... It's fully reflective but not overly visible in the fog :lol:

I've also got a black low Vis (think traffic warden black with reflective bands)


And big miss has a decent set of bike lights ... We are at the fashion conscious stage so high Vis would just get a eyes roll :roll:
If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine

I LOVE Little Man's coat! That's the kind of coat I'd get if I was ever a cyclist again.

Inventoried the freezers. Liberated the space of one whole freezer.
Discovered a need to spend a mint on meat replenishment. :(
Cooked some year old frozen chicken breast, for lunch and dinner for the next three days :) I won't inflict it on the tasting panel, lest it kills them.
Jeera Chicken. Nom Nom Nom.
Threw out some 15 month old lamb and designated a lot of stuff as 'eat me soon'
