    Yoo-hoo :hello:

    Just waiting for the tea to finish cooking so thought I'd catch 5 mins on here. Been and chose my tiles for the bathroom, the floor vinyl too and the taps. They're doing beautiful electric fires and surrounds but I can't have one BOO! though she said she'd send the surveyor back out and see if I can (I've never had one in not even electric) - that would save me a whole load of wonga.

    Pretty much all done for today, tea, load DW and a quick wipe of the kitchen to finish off, then a bubbly bath and a good film.

    LEGO toys with The Mirror (45p)
    Newspaper based vouchers

    Pick up a copy of the Mirror (45p or £1 on Sunday) any day from Sat 5 Sept until 13 Sept and there’s a voucher for a different free LEGO Star Wars toy each day worth £4ish. Take this into WHSmith, Toys 'R' us or Smyths Toys (Northern Ireland) crucially this must be done on the day the voucher’s printed to pick up your freebie.

    buildingblockstiny.jpgAlternatively collect five of the seven vouchers and apply for your toys by post, though if you do it this way you'll have to pay by cheque the £5.99 postage and packing costs.

    The LEGO toys are... Sat: Imperial Speeder Bike, Sun: Clone Walker, Mon: Mini TIE Fighter, Tues: Battle Droid on STRAP, Weds: Mini V-19 Torrent, Thurs: General Grievous’ Starfighter.

    You won't get any more actual freebie LEGO toys after Thursday. But on Fri: Collector Box, Sat: Poster and on Sun: Stickers


    Does anyone have a sunday mirror and Monday mirror, I can have the tokens from, please pm me, I am more than willing to refund the postage.

    Quick questions - my next door neighbour bought a new tv today. She bought it instore at tesco but I found it online for £50 cheaper at Amazon. Can she take a tv back that's not been out of the box? I've not told her yet because I don't want to let her know if she can't return it!!
