LouBoB I think that Quidco is the best but it is a matter of personal opinion. Go check it out and see how much cashback you could be getting and how that compares with Nectar. Welcome to the thread

Thanks for this, although I am ashamed to admit I logged on only to realise I had joined many months ago (after finding this forum) and I have £30 in my account!!! How daft am I, still a nice surprise so going to save it for Xmas 09!:rotfl:

Hello.

Normally I'm super organised all year, but this year, I fell of the wagon round about March, so I'll be popping in and out to stay organised for 2009.

Hoping I might be able to be as neutral as possible too. I try to be where possible, but don't remember to write things down:rolleyes:

I'm all ready for Christmas 2008, with just one present left to arrive to wrap up and join the rest which are ready for the big day.

I have lots to get ready for - Nan's 90th in May 2009, sister's 30th in Dec 2009, Mum's 60th in Jan 2010, BIL 30th in April 2010 :eek:

So all help and guidance will be very very welcome.

thanks for the reminder scuzz - just realised my mum will be 80 in September - she was of course very old when she had me .

have found an outfit for xmas do - need to nip into M&S for sme magic knicks tomorrow after work . Have decided that's more MSE than buying new trousers :rotfl:especially as the existing ones were £45 and think I've only worn them once :eek:

We couldn't get to the switching on of our village Christmas lights tonight as our road is way to icy even in OH's 4x4. A bit disappointed but DDs don't seem too bothered.

MIL has managed to acquire Bratz Magic Hair colour doll for DD1 from her local Argos (they had one left) and I hear on the news today that all Bratz merchandise is to be removed from the shelves after Christmas. This is because Mattel won their case against the guy who designed the Bratz whilst working for them. So I'm feeling a bit lucky tonight.

However, I'm about to order a Little Einsteins toy from ELC for DD2 (with the 20% off code) and discover that it's gone up by £5.00 since last night - how can that be? OH says I should e-mail them and tell them I'm not buying it but I'm not taking the risk - it's the only thing she has asked for! Anyway, a friend is also ordering stuff so we are going to do a joint order to get the free delivery!
