    Trains are just ****/expensive busses that don’t go anywhere close to where you need.

    Well the diet i've been on since after Christmas, got well and truly butt fooked tonight. Binged on so much shhite this evening, including a large Easter egg (mini egg brand) that was sitting in the fridge, the chocolate was surprising quite thick on it as well....just my way of getting it out the system, and diet will return to norrmal by the end of the week.

    Question for those with young children or maybe those without that know.....what do they do for cash these days, is there some sort of top up card they can use in shops and if so which are the 'cool' ones to use for young school age children or is it best just to stick to cash for them? Thinking the grandchild here btw. I know I buy stuff, but I always remember when I was young, use to like going to the sweet shop albeit an adult paid. So if it's a no no at that age say so.

    The cards you can get have fees, modern day rip off. Give them cash

    Why was a sherbet dib dab character building?

    I saw something that just looked like a pocket money card, that you could top as and when you wanted, dependent if the child is being sensible, didn't realise fees were attached.

    I always buy sweets (and biscuits), in truth probably too many, but it gives me satisfaction even if their teeth do all fall out (thanks grandad brb lol). Good point about the fruit btw, you are not the first person to say that to me, something I should seriously consider. Think I was just trying to think out the box with the card thing, maybe I shouldn't.

    Give them cash.

    I give my kids cash and they get cash as gifts/treat from family. They can then use/save, or use to pay me when they are out without it and want to buy something with what they have.
    There are cards that kids can use, but they have a monthly fee.

    Funnily enough, having lived in a sweet shop (Off Licence and Groceries) for 20 years from aged 3, I was not so much into the sweets - possibly because they were always there and available - would make an exception for Fry's Dark Chocolate Orange or Peppermint bars on occasion - but generally found British chocolate way too sweet ...

    Just got up after a pretty terrible night.
    wife fell over last night took over 2 hours for the ambulance to arrive by which time i had her sitting up but in a great deal of pain. After 90 mins they left having made sure no serious damage was done . Think we both only had a couple of hours sleep and now she seems off her food which i'm sure will really help.
    My ****ing life !
