    Thanks to Benben giving us the tip off I too have been for a lurk on the Bodyshop site (via Topcashback of course) and have ordered 2 shower gels, 1 body polish, 1 body lotion, 1 lip balm, 1 shampoo and 1 conditioner all for the princely sum of £15 (delivery free, £5 voucher off, TCB 15% cashback). These will all go towards presents for birthdays this year, so it's a good start.

    Hope skiing went ok, Hypno, bit of you-time always does you good!

    Oh I wasn't skiing myself today - DS was race training for 2 and a half hours.......while I tried to make a start on my list.

    Am 56% of the way to having loaded open office........I can't remember at what point it gave up last time I tried, though!

    Hypno, if you're downloading open office just for drafts, couldn't you use Notepad or Wordpad? They're tiny, and no problem.

    Body Shop! that sounds good. I confess, I don't visit Grabbit either - or GIOL - and I really should. Trouble is, I hate doing that detailed stuff at the weekend, and my Fridays have only just freed up (50% of them, anyway) so I'm not in the habit of doing it then either. Not in the habit of doing anything, tbh, tho I *did* just get a mystery shop for next Friday - since I should go to the bank anyway, its not a problem.

    I *am* playing about with dooyoo - saw I had almost a fiver in there, that would have expired at the end of May, so I posted 5 this last week, and I'll do more next week.

    Enjoy being at the ski club - even if you're just online with us, atmosphere is a precious thing!

    macgirl, we've been in school holidays and it has been no more busy than at any other time. We've certainly not had problems with too many people, even in August!

    I've done my body shop grabbit - thank you benben!! If anyone else wants to do it, you need to get onto the grabbit board quickly, because the voucher ends today......


    I got:
    • 2 x Wild Cherry shower gel - £6 each
    • 2 x cocoa butter creamy body wash - £6 each
    • 1 x Vitamin E night cream - £10
    • 1 x honey moisturising shampoo - £2.50
    • 1 x honey conditioner - £2.50
    All for a grand total of £12 including free delivery......plus potentially 15% cashback from TCB too!

    Another board I must visit more regularly.....some of the above will be useful present components, some will just be nice for me :D

    Thank you benben :T

    Open office finally downloaded - a couple of hiccups along the way, but I have been able to do a test document or two so hopefully should be ok now! No excuses for not doing more work now :o;)
