I was under the impression that the quick reads were .....just checked my vouchers, it says along the bottom of the back, just before the barcode, World Book Day, Arts Council England, Get On, Esmee GFairbairn Promotions, National Book Tokens, In Association with 'RaW BBC, Adult Learners Week, and (of course) Niace, promoting Adult Learning.

Thought Id got it wrong for a minute, but no it's in association with the aforementioned.:p :T :T

there not the same cookiesandcream,

the Quick Reads cost £2.99. However, with a Quick Reads book token you can buy any Quick Reads book for £1.99 (until 31 December 2006).
The tokens are attached to a short, clear leaflet, explaining how they can be used.
Shops will accept tokens printed in black and white as well as colour.

On World Book Day, 2 March 2006, an exciting new initiative from leading publishers, booksellers and writers bringing short, fast paced books by top authors to emergent or infrequent readers, was launched in London by the Prime Minister, Tony Blair.
On 18 May, Quick Reads will be bringing you 12 new titles from authors: Andy McNab, Val McDermid, John Francome, Hunter Davies, Mike Phillips, Courttia Newland, Damien Lewis, Tom Holland, Danny Wallace, Lynn Barrett-Lee, Katherine John, Gareth Roberts/ Dr Who.
These books are being published to coincide with Adult Learners Week. Books are available from major book chains and independent stores, supermarkets, libraries and more. For further info on how to get involved, visit www.quickreads.org.uk or email [EMAIL="quickreads@niace.org.uk"]quickreads@niace.org.uk[/EMAIL]

still get lots of freebies with this tho, ie pens, pencils rubbers, windows stickers etc

As I said, the back of the voucher says....clause 9 of terms & conditions "...Quick Reads is co-ordinated by World Book Day Ltd."

I ordered a Studio catalogue in an effort to get organised for Christmas, I got 3 free christmas cards with my catalogue, and a leaflet to claim a free tin of roses with my order, not the greatest freebie in the world but a start!!

I'm saving nectar and boots and WH Smith points for Christmas. I also send away for news paper freebies like Mail on Sunday Beach set and Sun gardening set. Avon is great too for cheapy goodies which I am going to put into a (cheap) wicker basket when I find one. Actually I have a small family who, by and large, have all they want. The presents revolve aroung garden, bath time treats, make up and food gifts. The teenagers just give a list of cds/dvds/computer games. I'm desperate for ideas more than anything.

Similar to Mis-spent (2 posts up) I am saving my Boots advantage points, WHS points and £2 coins. (see siggy) Also have £30 of high street gift vouchers that I have won/received during the year to bolster up the chrimbo spends.

Bought a few bits in the sale and I always surf the shops for bargains throught out the year. No-one need know what you have spent on a pressie, they'll never know it was reduced. ie I got my nan 2 smellies for Sainsburys that should have been £6.50 each paid around £1.50 each, saved a tenner, she'll be happy and Im ten quid the richer!! :j

Happy planning. :santa2: :santa2: :santa2:

Just a quick word of warning about Studio cards: don't pay over the internet. They do not have internet banking set up (or didn't a couple of years ago anyway) and so payment takes about 6weeks resulting in a red bill and £20 extra cost. To be fair they were very helpful about sorting it out, i just get a bit stressed when i see a red bill!
