    Hiya,
    Popkin that is beautiful, can i ask where did you get the passion petals?? I love the pots of love, i've really got to get my bum in gear and get the rest of OH's Valentine's stuff :o Hope i can afford it as the car insurance is going to cost me a bomb!!:mad:
    ..xx

    Car insurance, ouch!!! My OH has gone away for a week and only left this morning. On the way to school I noticed a light has appeared on the dashboard - engine management system or something :confused:. Sounds quite important so have the garage coming to pick my car up this afternoon to look at it. Don't want to think about how much it's going to be :rolleyes: OH will go mad that I haven't phoned round 60 garages to bget quotes, I just went for the closest and where I've had it serviced/MOT'd before. The OH left his car here so I can drive that whilst mine is out of action.

    I've been a cheapskate and only got 2 scratch cards for my pot of love.

    Rusty was it you who was after Winnie the Pooh wash mitts? Lloyds have them half price for £1.25 on their website. They look like this...

    I've never ordered from Lloyds before but saw a link on another thread and wandered over and had a look, found the hot water bottle above (had to get that ;)) and ordered a few other cheapie bits for kiddie b'day pressies.

    It was ... thankyou ;) xx

  • I know i got a quote for me and my dad on a Ford Ka for £378.46 which is brilliant as its fully comp,:D but that's the cheapest car that my dad can afford although we both want a 307, the car insurance on that is £1,108.67!!:eek: I can't afford much on my wage right now :(

    I am only me, no pretences, no second guesses.. It's the best I can do, I'm sorry if that's not good enough for you... I'm sorry I'm not good enough for you :A

    Don't forget when buying any insurance to go through Quidco, etc. I'm actually looking forward to getting insurance quotes for my car and bike in March, just to see how much cashback I can get! Oh God, I'm so sad x

    Just be careful though cause they don't always pay out and remember to check what kind of payments you will have to pay if you have a crash etc (cannot remember what they call it now :o) My mind is mashed at the min as I am currently sorting out quotes for mine, only problem is that I have a very cheap quote for my car (under £200) but cannot get any cashback which is fine by me cause I would have to pay for it anyway and they are cheapest by a long shot!

    Hiya

    Thanks Rainmac - loving the heart hot water bottle - would love to get it but if I did it would be more for me than OH - he never gets cold!!! I'm the hot water bottle addict in this house! Will have to check my receipts for the cherry tictacs - can't quite remember where I got them - pretty sure it was either Tescos or Sainsburys... or was it Asda - a supermarket anyway!! LOL!! ... I think!!

    JordanShannon - got the Passion Petals at the same time as the glasses from Matalan - pretty sure they were 99p

    Can anyone clue me into what is Quidco please?

    Thanks

    Just looking on LLoyds website they've got these lovely heart scented candles - reduced to £1 instead of £4!

    Yep I've got the hot water bottle for me, my OH is always warm. I've told my OH not to buy me anything so i thought I'd add a couple of bits for me into his stuff ;)

    Using Quidco is a way of getting money back on your spending. Here's their website if you fancy a look. I'm pretty new to Quidco and usually forget to use it to be honest but it's a way of getting money for free if you are going to buy the same item anyway :D
