Hot tip of the day: don't get caught speeding, it's a waste of £60. Especially when you have just had a speeding fine in the last couple of months :(

That reminds me regarding private parking tickets (service stations etc..) they're non-enforceable therefore never pay them -

Good tip Craig!

I am getting a kat on Sunday. I have bought her Aldi and Wilko cat food. She will have to go hungry if she doesn't eat it :D

Also, as soon as she is old enough to be spayed, she will get a catflap and no more litter tray :)

My cat prefers Lidl cat food to anything else on the market.
Result! :-)

My cat is also perfectly happy with Lidl cat food sachets and their version of Go Cat. She will also happily eat the supermarket cheapest versions of cat food - has to be the sachets, though, she won't eat the tinned stuff.

We've gone over to dried cat food after we had a really bad fly infestation last year.... omg it was awful! Smudge and Jasper are rather happy on go cat or any complete dried cat food and to be honest we were giving smudge 3 pouches a day and dried food!

My cat is getting fussy in her old age and won't touch the Aldi stuff I bough, or Sainsbury's own brand. She used to eat that. *Sigh*

I got a parking fine from a supermarket - admittedly I may have parked there a bit longer than I should have as I did some other shopping as well as my supermarket shop but after spending more than £100 in the supermarket no way am I paying any private ticket. I put it in an envelope and posted it to them with a handwritten note and no address telling them I wouldnt be paying. that was a few weeks ago and not heard anything. I know it cost me a second class stamp but the satisfaction of sending it back was worth it.

Quite right Jovi. It's irresponsible of the supermarket to expect you to drive around to other shops in the area, causing extra pollution. The £100 more than covers the right to park anyway.

There's some very useful info on the CAB website around private parking fines.
