    Thanks Toto, just signed up. Also used ex's name and email address to get another. Now I'm off to see if the Jewellery tv offer's still on to see if I can get a chain or bracelet to wear them on. Just need to decide now if it's a present to myself or if it's either mum or sister's birthday present next year that's sorted out.

    Linda, don't think I'm going to go see what Tom Araya looks like now!

    Morning everyone :hello:

    Have you all spotted this thread on grabbit? There are codes worth £25 (plus 10% off) without buying the magazine sub. Some lovely bits and bobs on there and they would make a fab xmas pressie for nothing. I did get the magazine so got the extra £25. I got a bracelet and some charms (free charm because I signed hubby up :) ).

    Thanks Toto...just ordered 2, 1 in my name and 1 in OH's got the pitter patter charms for my brothers GF as they're expecting their 1st baby in Jan and another one for OH's niece. Fab find, thanks for mentioning it x

    You know, this week I've been on the grabbit and freebies boards a lot, I'm getting loads of stuff through the post and spending less than I was even a few weeks ago! (if you add in quidco then I'm even making money!). Wish I'd started doing this ages ago!

    I got a waterstones book order today and it had a couple of wine vouchers in it too, I can get 15 bottles for £50, or 12 for £40. I'm going to ask dad if he wants to share in it, I don't think I've got room for that much wine! Before, I'd have bought from Amazon, and the best they do is bloody vista print vouchers.

    I've seen people with charms clipped on to their handbags - either on the zips or if there is a metal joint between the bag and handle.

    right, before it gets too dark (although nearly dark now!) get changed and go and take Charlie out. Bit horrible and wet though :(

    Me too. Feels like such a long time ago though :rolleyes:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
