Just a reminder to everyone...the Boots online sale is on if you want to stock up ready for christmas, birthdays etc. Also the debenhams blue cross sale is now on and they sometimes have stuff in that'd be useful for gifts

I won't be around on the 1st to do an update, but will post one later in the week - I spent yesterday afternoon updating all my spreadsheets so have a good idea of where I'm up to :j

eta - Thank you Jammy for all your hard work, see you at the weekend

I didnt hear about it until this morning, I was never a fan of the man but feel at least now he will have the peace he never seemed to find in life.

With the vouchers in the boots mag is one for 500points if you sign up for thier perscription collection service. I signed up today and its very easy, you just need to fill in the form and hand it over with your boots card and voucher.
When you take your perscription in they take the white side and you tell them when you need the next perscription, you just have to collect when its due

With this, and a £50 order from boots last night with a +500 points code (I buy nappies, wipes etc from them every 3 months or so so I can do a big order & get the extra points and free delivery) I've earnt over 1200 points in 12 hours

Or was it a painkiller overdose, or something else which they all seem to be sprouting!!! Even now he is resting in peace the poor man still gets all this rubbish!!!! I hate vultures that do things like this!!

RIP Michael Jackson! I personally thought he was fab, although I don't think he was completely there in the head with some of the silly things he did! Least he is at peace now!

Mum2one - The tooth fairy also leave £2 coins for DS's teeth ... he lost 3 just over a week ago in 4 days ... I kept nipping down to work to exchange coins for £2 coins!!!

Sylphraven - whats this boots mag? I just want the points :rotfl: Do you have to have a prescription to put in? (thats easily sorted with all my drugs!)

sylphraven

Rusty - its a magazine you get in boots, if you have a boots card its free, if you dont its £1.
You dont have to have a perscription to sign up for the perscription collection scheme & get your points, I didnt today though I do plan to use it with my sons repeat perscription.

Edited to add.... Mag is called boots Health & Beauty, has a piccy of a tanned woman in a white bikini, standing in a lovely blue sea on the fornt cover.

After a massive favour, its totally digressing sorry, but is there any brilliant person whose brain I could rack.

Basically I deleted a file, sent it to recycle box and emptied the box, sods law I desperately need the file back, Just wondered if there was any way.

Thank you all in advance xx

Sorry mum2one, I have no idea how hard, or easy it would be to retrieve, but the techie board on here is very good for getting help with things like that.

morning everyone,

havent posted on this thread since bingoport banned me, that was the only thing i was actually doing to get some money in for xmas nothing else appeals to be because its such a long process to get any rewards, doesnt motivate me as much as bp did sorry girls.

what i wanted was to ask you some advice about buying electric gifts for gadgets. ive been window shopping for electric gifts and its for my mum so i will be using them too anyway i saw some kitchen stuff that were about £5-£10 but can i trust they be reliable. I mean a sandwich toastie maker is £5 from wilksinson, im worried it will break within a few days or it blew up. its so attractive the price but im worried that the price means it not good quality. should i just save up for a decent price gadget? i wouldnt be so bothered if it wasnt plugged in appliances. help please!!

sorry mum2one ive not clever enough to know that answer, maybe if you havent done it yet you could create a thread in the tech section, someone might be more able to ehlp you there
