  • I'm not very techie but it probably would be worth asking on the techie board or there is a subboard for phone/broadband isn't there?

    Right back from Asda i brought a bag reduced to £3 and used my Lucheon vouchers to buy it so paid nothing! :)

    My mum stocked up on mouthwash at boots and gave me her £5 off no7 voucher. I didnt use it today though, as im going to plan to use it wisely on a xmas present instead of myself this time.

    Oh i have just seen people are using the no7 vouchers on the no7 electricals....which are still half price! So the pedicure is £2.49 to pay and the massager £4.99 to pay...i think the trimmer and eyelash curlers are only £4.99 so must go through free but i have those already.

    I may get the massager as i need the body brush head...i have really bad circlutaion in my upper arms and get red goose bumps over them. I read if you brush them daily with a body brush it helps circulation.

    Evening all,

    Ive just been doing a few surveys and claimed £5 paypal from lightspeed. Im still waiting for a survey from valued opinons to claim a £10 voucher. Ive had a few but they keep throwing me off 5 mins into them!:confused:

    I had a spend today £13 in Tesco...i only went to buy some toothpaste! The toothpaste was half price so i brought two as they were a bargin (arm & hammer enamel care- v expensive). I also stocked up on x4 packs of cotton buds. Then i saw some toys reduced and brought ickle piggle bath toy which was 75% off! (baby nephews b day present), and a tiger radio half price (baby nephews xmas present). Total was £15 but used 2 pampers £1 money off coupons! ;)

    So that's the baby nephew sorted....just the older one to buy for now.

    Here's some news..Im on my pill free week at the moment. Normally i would start taking it again on friday. But i not going to im coming off the pill! Which is quite scary as i have been on the pill for 10 years now, i started taking it for my skin so hope when i come off my skin doesnt explode in spots! Ive read its good to have a few months of 'real' periods before trying to conceive so that what i plan to do. So wont be TTC until start of 2009.
