NEWSPAPER SUMMARY - Saturday 16th May 2009

frugal_rock

Starting in The Guarian today and for the next 7 days booklets looking at the 7 deadly sins of football!

Looks an interesting wee series!


Sloth #49: Pistone gets a sheep's heart

Secret Santa theoretically provides an opportunity to get a colleague an ingenious Christmas gift (or spend as little as possible safe in the knowledge that they won't know you are the skinflint). But in 1998, Newcastle's footballers took it as an opportunity to tell other members of the squad what they really thought of them. Especially those pesky foreigners. The Italian full-back Alessandro Pistone was given a sheep's heart, as a sign of his perceived commitment, or lack thereof. Duncan Ferguson, who had done time in 1995, was given a prison's shirt. And Dietmar Hamann – he's German, you see – unwrapped a copy of Mein Kampf. Suddenly a deodorant set from Superdrug didn't seem so bad.

For more sinful-tales of footballing misdemeanours, see our seven-part series with:

16 May - Greed featuring David Beckham and Ashley Cole
17 May - Pride featuring Andrei Arshavin and Mike Ashley
18 May - Wrath featuring Craig Bellamy and Roy Keane
19 May - Envy featuring Bruce Grobbelaar and Danielle Lloyd
20 May - Gluttony featuring Mark Bosnich and Gazza
21 May - Sloth featuring John Terry and Ian Rush
22 May - Lust featuring David Mellor and Robinho

Get a copy of todays 70p Daily Express Saturday 16th May 2009

It contains a voucher for £10 off the usual £54 VOSA M.O.T fee at Nationwide Autocentres. They also donate £10 to the NSPCC as well so you can be charitable too!!

The voucher is on page 44 of todays 70p Daily Express which I bought in Horsham so I don't think it's a regional edition...

The discount excludes: Large vans, Motorbikes and motorhomes which means it only applies to class 4 vehicles

Bookings are subject to availability and allocation of M.O.T test

OFFER ENDS: 31st July 2009

Just a little advanced notice. I got an email from Morrison's today and it says this:

Starting from Monday 18th May, we're giving you the chance to save £5 off your weekly shop of £30. All you have to do is look out for the vouchers every day in The Sun and the News Of The World.

Use them all, and you'll save a massive £35!

How it works

Each voucher is valid for one week. The first voucher printed in The Sun on Monday can be used any day that week (Monday 18th to 24th May). The second voucher, printed the next day, can be used any day of the following week… and so on. See terms and conditions for full details.

I just wanted to let everyone know in advance. I'm posting it on the main board too. Every little helps!

Hi Gosia

Just looked at the National Trust advert in the Daily Express and there is a whole load of properties which don't qualify however you may be in luck as Osterley Park House doesn't appear to be excluded from this offer.

Go here for more info: nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-osterleypark

Hope this helps.
