@LidlGB Been to 2 stores today, and again nothing left. What a con. The 3 yesterday were Stockton on Tees, Billingham Rd Norton and Junction Rd Norton.

@t_witterer Hey! We're so sorry about this and please let us know your local store and we'll update the team right away. - Ash

@LidlGB seems like a generous offer, until you realise it is only to get you through the door. Day 4 of the Easter egg thing and not a single item available so far in the 3 stores I visited. Asked staff in each, one just said he's sick of being asked!

@BoardGameArena are you aware of this error?

You are very generous in giving free items @LidlGB but for those of us that eat healthily, I would much rather receive a free piece of fruit or a vegetable.

I am in diabetes remission, all thanks to the UK Momenta 'NHS diabetes in remission programme' with help from podcasts such as @Pharmacomedian. It was 12 weeks of TDR with coach support. I really didn't think last October that I would be able to run a 5k @parkrun but I just did!

Hey @LidlGB This recycling scheme was fantastic in Glasgow when you trialled it. Will you be rolling it out again anytime soon? lidl.co.uk/c/return-schem…

@BoardGameArena are you aware that your website is down again?

This time last week I was on 1.5g Metformin & Empagliflozin for Type II diabetes. 6 days ago I stopped all diabetic medication and 1 of the 3 BP medications I take in order to start the Momenta Diabetes in Remission programme. Results are amazing already! england.nhs.uk/diabetes/treat…

@MartinSLewis More than my gas, electric, water and mobile bills put together. Its 11% of my net income. I dislike that I can't shop around and get a better deal, meanwhile watch my local council spending/(wasting IMO) my hard earned money.

Today's Poll: Should Council Tax be revalued based on today's house prices? There will be winners & losers It's still based on 1991 house values in Eng,Scot (2003 Wales). The most expensive houses (Band H) in Westminster pay £2,000 council tax, same as Band B in Rutland.

@MartinSLewis A local Uni gives a £3k bursary for those whose parents households have an income under £25k. So a child of a full time single parent earning say £26k gets £0. The criteria does feel a bit low for 2025

Use Martin's calculator to see how much you might be need to contribute if your child wants to head off to university in the future: moneysavingexpert.com/students/stude… #MartinLewis

@Northpowergrid thanks for replying. Someone from Northern Powergrid just came to the property in the last few minutes and explained. I've never made contact before for any reason, but am very impressed, what a fantastic service! Thank you.

@t_witterer Good morning, please can you DM us your full address, including postcode, so we can look into this further? Thanks, Rosie.

@Northpowergrid Unplanned power cut last night which was restored after 3 hours. Happened again this morning but came on again after just a few seconds. Does this normally happen, was it someone just testing the system or something?

@DanNeidle Would be interesting to see this broken down by gender. Straw poll; as a female I am in the 10th percentile, close male family earn more than the figure shown in the 90th percentile.

Fascinating:

@kalanighost Your positive vibes are infectious and have been a great reminder that in the UK many of us take our history for granted. Thank you :)

I want a travel/food show one day 🖤 I think having a team behind what I do now could be so beneficial to exploring more of the culture and history of places I go. I'm putting the vibrations out there though 🤙🏽

@MisterMarilyn Hold on a minute, weren't you born in Jamaica?

It’s so strange!! ‘They’ push the ‘trans agenda’ and denigrate women, and then use alleged falling birth rates to justify overwhelming influx of foreign nationals, to ‘bolster the population’!!?? WHAT?? I love my country!! I don’t want it to be anything except ENGLAND!! 🫣

@wesstreeting you or your family don't have to put up with this so why should we? Waited 1.5 years for a tooth to be taken out at hospital. Now in excruciating pain and need antibiotics, NHS111 gave appt for 27 hours time, meanwhile infection is spreading. NHS dentistry is broken

@SundEmpire @HamiltonWestEnd Saw this tonight, it was quite honestly the best show I have ever seen. Every single member of this cast should be so proud of their work, they all put on an unbelievable performance. Well done everyone, and thank you 👏👏👏

The socials are popping off for @HamiltonWestEnd, see what the audience has to say 🤩 Not seen it yet? There's still great availability for performances this week! 🎟️ atgtix.co/4iZ6486 📅 Must end Sat 26 Jul

@MartinSLewis 30% of my total bills per month is the Council Tax. It's just not right.

Got questions on Council tax? I'm covering it on pod tomorrow (past successes welcome too) incl How to check & challenge ur CT band CT discounts & reductions (including single & SMI) Are you owed CT credit? CT Debt collection Pls suggest Qs by reply & my producer'll collate

Council Tax accounts for 30% of my bills. That's not right is it I work full time, receive no benefits (apart from a 25% single occupancy discount) and live frugally. Why do we pay so much more than other parts of the country @stocktoncouncil @Matt_VickersMP
