Silent, let me tell you a little trick that's worked for 32years so far. On Saturday morning, I pop down to the shop to buy a paper and some sort of sweet-meat for smoko... yes I am something of a creature of habit!

Now to do that I need money. So I ask her loveliness if she'd like me to pick up some milk while I'm out (having previously ensured that the milk stock is placed out of sight in the fridge). Every week the response is the same, I get handed a purple note with the number 5 on it, ask her to do her maths a bit better, then get handed a red note, with a sideways glance.

On arriving home, the change stays in my pocket, so I've got $15.00 for my pie fund.

At some time during the morning, without fail, she'll ask why I didn't pick up any bread while I was at the bakers.

I apologise, grab another $20.00 from her purse and dash out to pick up the bread.

On a good weekend, I can pull the bread stunt on Sunday too!

I hope that can be of some assistance to you in the future!
Cheers,

P

That's gold!!

We are walking distance from the shops but I have to walk past the pub to get there, is that likely to be a problem, or should I actually offer to do the weeks shopping while I'm out?

Midge's suggestion of "little shops" is best.
If you offer to do the week's shopping:
1. SWMBO might insist on coming with you to make sure you buy the right things
2. You won't be given cash - put it on the card to get the points and anyway no-one carries that much cash.

In either case, a great strategy is blown out of the water.

Now have #187 & #188. Still awaiting #186. I notice that on the wrapper for 188 they ask to have some postage details and arrival date emailed to them, so it looks like they may be doing some auditing of their distribution contractors.

Waiting, waiting....

Gudday,

Am up to date now. Received Tools & Shops yesterday and 186 about two weeks ago.

While it was frustrating waiting, getting three issues in about a month has been great!

Oi, Alex and Shannon are back on topic. Is that allowed?

Richard

If mr taunton is wise he can look here & see how his postal deal is going.

cheers

I think people are calling T&S #188

Got 187 & 188, no 186

waiting, waiting...

Thank you for the update. I can confirm that a replacement for Issue
#186 was ordered on October 13. While we are told the shipping time is
10-12 weeks, we are receiving reports that replacements are being
delivered sooner.

Thank you for your patience. Once again, we apologize for the
inconvenience this delivery delay has caused. Please let us know if we
can be of any further assistance.

Cheers,

P

Still no 186 or Tools and Shops

It's here, 4th December.
