Hi Dinah - could you let me know how you get the £40 of points with Tesco? I'm on the Tesco Direct site now and can't see it, this looks like a good idea to me - got to think of things to do whilst sat at home "working" and can't get out due to the snow...

Here you go Kittikins. Link. Look out for the ones with the '1000 pts' in the top corner. Be aware there is a maximum of one per order, free home delivery on phones though (ignore it when it says £5, this is taken off on the next stage), and no more than 5 phones per address per month.

Thank you I'm actually quite tempted to get one, keep it and when my contract is up in February, go PAYG or onto a Tesco contract - I'm with 3 and happy with them and have an E71 Nokia (without the email/internet, grrr) but want to cut costs this year....They have some cute phones

I have the new E72, the buttons were reviewed as being easy to use but my texts might as well be in swahili for all the sense they make!

Lol, you do have to have a certain knack don't you

You get bonus 1000pts per Tesco Mobile PAYG phone over £50.00.
So with double points on a phone @ £54.97 you get double points, so 108 points plus bonus 1000 points Total 1108 points worth £44.32 in rewards.
Interesting to find out the limit of 5 per month per address. Is that Email or home address? Shadow email account??

Per home address, there is a bulk buying policy on the right hand side.

Urgh! Feel like I'm going mad! Just when i think i have enough to clear a debt or feel like im getting somewhere, they whack a whole new bunch of charges on me and i'm back at square one!

Im only at work next Wed & Thurs, so need to find a way to occupy myself. Applied to a million jobs, so just a case of keeping an eye out and waiting and seeing now i guess.
Might put all my holiday pics into photo albums...been putting this off for God knows how long!

What do you have planned for today Dinah? Did you get round to booking your honeymoon?

Dinah93

Not yet, I've got all the quotes, now I need to work out which of the resorts I actually want, but I can't find the book I have detailing all the resorts. Going to try looking some more this afternoon. Its a real shame the one I know I would love don't do AI, and its the same price FB as all the others are for AI, so I think we'd need far too much spending money when we're there to make it viable.

Hi everyone

Happy New Year to you all.....and as for me, here's hoping it's better than the end of the last one. Like your new thread Dinah although I was a bit dizzy looking at all those challenges :eek: However, I know you'll complete them all! I know I posted in the other thread about updating everyone and then getting back on the bandwagon and I think, maybe, I'm starting to regain my sanity after a fraught few months. Here's a quick run down.

As you know, we got engaged in October on my birthday :T but things then went downhill from there. In November Ian was told his job was under threat because for 4 months of the year he was being trained to work in the lab at work and they were cutting the lab jobs. He wasn't working there at the time as he's not actually employed to work in the lab but they were having none of it. He tried to explain that how could the job he does do be under threat for the job he doesn't do but no, his name was on the list. After a stressful few weeks where he was interviewed, examined and had to attend loads of meetings he actually found that he had a job in the new lab. He doesn't want it and would prefer to stay where he is but he has no choice.

My nephew is in the army and joined his battalion in Edinburgh in May and in October they were deployed to Helmand. On Remembrance Sunday his mate who had come to stay with us a few times while they were at Catterick was killed by an IED so we were really upset and I went to Wootton Bassett for his repatriation. He was buried on 2nd December and then the next day we received news that my nephew had been involved in an IED incident that morning and had lost both legs. He was flown to Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham the next day and is now doing really well although it was touch and go for a while so the past month has been a case of driving to and from Birmingham.

Over Christmas my father in law was also in hospital so we were visiting him as well so I felt like the clock had gone back and I was a NHS nurse again!

Oh, and to top it off my niece decided to buy a 7 week old puppy on Bank Holiday Monday but by Tuesday morning she didn't want it and couldn't cope with it so the long and short of it is we've ended up with the poor thing. She's lovely and isn't bad but takes a lot of work so we're shattered!

I have decided, though that this year is going to be a case of lose lbs and gain £££ so I'm starting next week to get myself sorted. Ian has found that he can claim up to 25% of his pension when he's 50 (in Feb) but the window closes in April and the age goes up to 55. We won't get much cos his main pension is tied up in the divorce financial settlement but he should still get about £7k so we'll have enough to pay a couple of debts off and at least my car loan finished this month. I have also set the wedding fund up and,altyhough it only has about £70 in so far it's better than nothing. I'm going to come back on the htread on Monday and put my current debts, weight etc and would appreciate a kick up the bum if I veer off.

Thanks everyone and have a good day xxx
