Is it worth taking the stones out or would i end up having a slow flat in the morning?
 
what do you mean exactly?

you can pull them out from the centre of the tire fine, it shouldnt do much damage... unless there actually dug deep into the tire :p
 
Like in the middle of the tyre where the water is channeled away i had a poxy stone that i just took out and it left a little mark in the rubber
 
nail puncture repair is only £10, so if the tread is good its worth doing.

Trouble is that they only do a repair if the nail is in the central third of the tread surface. Anywhere near the tyre shoulder and it's new tyre time. I've only ever had a tyre repaired once, all the other times I've had punctures it's always a new tyre.

not at my tyre fitter. just tell them you're willing to accept responsibility for the consequences and do not need a reciept.
