  • Needed to get some pics of dd printed in an effort to finish off the scrapbook I started for her 4 years ago! Was reading emails today and a website I joined last year offered 20 free photo prints, just pay p&p. The photos are 9p each and with 20 free prints I saved £1.80!
    I don;t have to go to a shop to have them printed or anything, which is a huge relief right now! So 99p delivery and they'll arrive in the post next week! :)
    I've got nothing else but I've got my family.
