Just saw an advert on TV earlier, for Game, ds lite, wii etc a good selection of games on buy one get one free, I noticed the ds included the "imagine range"......(was thinking of getting the wedding one, years to practise for dds wedding......at the rate I'm going I'll be going up the aisle with a zimmer frame!!)

Left the bookmark in, but added a little note.........YOUVE BEEN CAUGHT...

A while back, MSE asked for volunteers to have a new 'rate it' button on each thread. Basically if a thread is a good deal/suitable for the e-mail then you click 'rate it' and the MSE team investigate. I suppose it saves them trawling through each board, so asked for volunteers.

Its v exciting as I PM'd to become a rater and now have a 'rate it' button...and VIP access to our very own 'raters' board (am I selling it to you yet?!) anyway if anyone wants to help out then PM MSE Andrea to ask her as they are looking for more ppl on the non-shopping threads/boards....guess which thread I rated first?! yep - this one as i believe it has widespread appeal to the masses :T

QuidcoCrew - I may be doing Empire Direct which is on our best line -laptop case is £30 cheaper than amazon!!. Wild stab in the dark, does anyone think Saville co. or Electrical discount might be on their shopping list?
