    You're very welcome, I keep saying how much I like Christmas :)

    You get a certain discount over £100 Caz (can't remember how much but will check and edit), so if you go over £100 and then take off the code it'll be even more :money:

    Edit: 15% :money:

    Evening all. I hope everyone is ok. I'm fine, except for a bit of a headache, and I'm STARVING. I've been craving fried eggs all day so guess what I'm having for tea ;) (Everyone at work has now decided I'm pregnant. And much as I'm jelous of all the pregnant laddies I know at the mo, I'd better blimmin well not be!)

    I've only read this page, so Tia, have a gentle kick, but also a hug, and I'll share my fried eggs with you if that helps!
