Havent done the reviews
But
Ipods you can just add normal music files to it - you can buy the itunes vouchers and then buy songs and albums from itunes directly - i just uploaded my cds and thats always done me for ipod and my old samsung mp3 thing

Phunkles is quite right You can upload cds to it, but you can also buy songs from itunes if you want to (instead ofbuying cds from a shop)

Punkles and Jamtart6 your both absolute stars, may well keep it now, better than my mp3, just too tight to buy vouchers, my cd collection do the trick xx

Some places do offers on itunes cards. For fathers day you could get £30 voucher for £20 in argos. Tesco (?) are currently doing something like a £20 voucher when you buy 2 chart CD's, so 2 x CD's are £8.99 and a £20 voucher for £18 :T

I need to get Qypeing!

I'm so made up , Along with the Treat your Feet hamper I was doing for my Mum, she is also getting a wine hamper as she has recently discovered the joys of Red Wine

I have just ordered 18 bottles of Lindemans wine for £2.67 from Tesco

I had £25 in Tesco vouchers, but if you apply you can have them turned into 'double up' vouchers which can be used on wine, therefore £50 in vouchers. I then had a £10 off £50 spend code which I got instore in the week and then had a £10 off new wine customers code.

Total Spend £67.67 + £5 delivery = £72.67
Total cash paid = £2.67 for 18 bottles of wine delivered :rotfl::T
As if that wasn't enough, you get £5 from Quidco for being a new customer so actually made £2.33 profit hooray :T

(can you tell I'm well pleased???)

Jamtart, that's very impressive. Everyone round to your place then?

We started our Christmas CD last night - my DH is a musician and we've decided to copy what old friends of ours used to do, and make a family Christmas song on CD to send to our friends. DS is only three but he's so into it, wearing the headphones and singing into the mike! LOL. IT's really quite easy to do with a Mac laptop and a microphone. Already sounds professional and picky hubby hasn't even begun fiddling with levels etc yet... we're doing 'santa claus is coming to town'.

Well Just Spent Last Two Hours Reading All The Last Weeks Pages.! Phew, Caught Up. I have had the 'BUG' too mum2one. Real crappy thing i have lost almost a week with it, dstarted friday evening and im only just recovered. strange thing like you say a sort of combined sicky flu thing. So nothing done here this week. Getting organised today and planning for the week ahead need to catch up a bit too.
jamtart- thanks for the spammers advice never understood it before and wow what a fab offer on the wine no wonder you feel happy.
roxie-Think your advent ideas are brill everyone will love them, got to organise mine sharpish this week.
pinkladymel- great scrap book and photos of your decorations, i will leave now and hang my head in shame........mine never look so good. I try, the tree always looks acceptable but no good at arranging things.
Off to town later need gift wrap and at least i will be able to start wrapping stuff, thats not too strenuous a job.
see you all later

Digressing sorry, but has anyone whos done the 50 review on Qype had confrmation on there £50.00 Amazon voucher yet? I finished mine, hit all thier targets so should be getting the Ipod shuffle........ another quickie question.... for those more knowledgeable people than me, the Ipod, are those the ones that you have to buy the vouchers to download music on, or can you do the normal as per an mp3 jobbie xx

It's very easy, you buy and download the music via iTunes either using vouchers or you credit/debit card.
Plug the ipod in and away you go. Apple website where you download iTunes shows everything in easy steps. Good Luck!:cool:

Feeling very christmassy in my cold office today so going to buy some hot chocolate at lunchtime for my '3 o'clock'. Marshmallows maybe involved...:j

might do a bit more xmas shopping too at lunch, OH and I are giving each other stockings but no item in it is to be over a fiver. Good little challenge that plus it's an excuse to buy lots of silly little things.
