Thanks for the stig book link & codes - it'll be perfect for DF's brother in law.

PSST - the code also works with the 50p JK rowling bard book also on free delivery - so 200 tesco points (£8 worth of deals / £4 if doubling up for instore - online) for a 50p spend.

Code only worls once per account.

We have a few accounts that we use to maximise the codes/vouchers so i just got 3 bard books and 1 stig book for £6.20 and 800 points - or £32 towards our wedding rings which were getting from goldsmiths with tesco deals vouchers. Im well chuffed.

Im buying a new 20q game from a lady on netmums for £4, over £3 cheaper than on amazon. (thats the cheapest price i can find too) Slowly getting there! Im off to make a list of stuff Im buying this month.

Just won a mini remote control helicopter on ebay, £1.20 plus £3.49 postage. I was going to order the one posted above as it seems a great deal, but knowing OH he will be bored with it in half an hour so the cheaper the better lol!

I have decided to make a pink pamper pack for my MIL and thought of including the following:

• Dressing gown
• PJs
• Slippers
• Bubble bath
• Candles
• Buff puff
• Pink cava
• Box of chocolates

Any other things you think I could put in?

Could someone pm me the code for the 200 points for tesco please?

yippee_kye_yay

rummer how about
towels (maybe personalised depending on budget?)
sponge/flannel
bath bombs
pink champagne/martini glass for the cava - will be easier to find in plastic/frosted i would imagine
hair brush set, im sure you could get these in pink
them cheap single sachet face packs (cant think of the name!) can be found in pink packaging
bath pillow

hmmm, think thats the end of my ideas

Im doing avon so ive managed to get a few cute bits for presents at discounted prices
Ive asked the family what the little ones NEED and the majority said clothes..even hand me downs from mine as their are 6 little ones (all on the ohs side so as usual its down to me!)
ANYWAY got two girlie outfits from tescos for £10. they are a bit summery BUT they are bigger than the kids so by the time they fit them it should be warmer (yay)

my friend owns a pub so shes donating some pint glasses that i can add a poem too and a fiver and give to some hard-to-buy-for/ somehow attatched to my xmas list blokes lol

My mum, sister and grandad share a house, all their post is getting mixed up and grandpas getting older ..... so ive covered a box with stamps and post marks with a sign saying 'grandpas post box' so mum can leave his post separate to theirs somewhere where he doesnt have to bend to get it etc (thats from my son to him) other presents will be inside the box too
