    now.....can i make it up to £15 for free delievery

    Tesco are doing free delivery on their books; just continue through checkout and it will show delivery cost as free. I've done it twice today already...1 book was 50p and the other was 95p.

    I couldn't see free delivery until I had to finalise the order.

    Happy Days, Julie :D

    I have never used wicker baskets as my family wouldn't use them so I have always wrapped large cardboard boxes in xmas paper (2 of which I did last night) so I am recycling too!

    Had a good look online today and I have planned out my next few gifts, now all I need is to be paid!
