I've just ordered this fishing book for my FIL on Tesco entertainment.

Tesco.com - Page not found

It's 95p with free delivery. Amazon have it reduced from £16.99 down to £14.44. So at 95p it's a bargain for a hard back book.

moneysavingmumofone - you're not the only one - I seem to have been 'doing christmas' all year and the idea was I'd be done by end of august..........then I keep seeing other ideas of things to make so I made it 'end of september'...............now I keep finding stuff I started and haven't finished :eek:
Think I'm getting there though...........least the spare room thats full of stuff is now in proper piles for people.

They had loads of Queen albums in my local charity shops last weekend! Once vinyl gets a bit scratched, I guess people just don't want it any more.

Do you have a local Freecycle network? It might be worth putting an advert on that asking if anyone has a Queen LP on vinyl which you could have for free .... you might be lucky, you never know!

yes i may do that, going town tomorrow so may have a browse in the charity shops rarely look at the music bits and if i dont find anything will post on freecycle, thanks.

I wonder if it was because you have used a 45rpm (single) record, which is much smaller? I used a 33rpm (album size), which also didn't have a whopping great hole in the centre the way yours has. With an album, there's so much more vinyl that I suppose it can manage to drape itself a bit better.

would love the stig book for my bf how did you get it for £4 is there a discount code?

Sorry - I just re-read my post and its a big misleading. I got the Where's Stig book from Tesco (but posted the link to explain what it was). I think it was £4.49 but it is brand new stock - only a few were out. HTH xx

I put mine back in the oven to warm up again once or twice while I was moulding it - the heat re-softens it enough to keep working on it.
