Thanks Pink...is it ok to direct someone to your ''homepage'' even if that is your blog?

Hi lajoni,

I'm afraid not as that is considered by the team to be directing someone to your blog.

The reason being that many blogs/websites are selling items or contain links which are for the OP's personal gain. MSE is designed to be completely free from advertising of any kind and as the team do not have the manpower to monitor blogs or websites that are listed as homepages, there is a blanket ban on pointing other users to your homepage.

Thanks for the clarification Pink-winged I understand why MSE don't like it as so many blogs are linked to shops nowadays, although I do wonder why they allow us to have 'homepages' if they have a blanket ban on even talking about them - surely having a link contradicts what they are trying to do entirely? :huh:

But anyway...back to SC just spotted these on the Poundland website, I'm hoping they'll have them in store when I visit on Sat. They have money boxes in the same range too!



ETA: Eeek, huge photo, sorry!

Hi Bibbitybob,

Unfortunately I can't help with the why's and wherefore's as it's Martin who makes the rules. If you wish to query a rule the best way to do so is to contact the team. Their address is [EMAIL="abuse@moneysavingexpert.com"]abuse@moneysavingexpert.com[/EMAIL]

Sorry hun I didn't mean to make it sound like I was questioning you - more thinking out loud really I realise you're just enforcing the rules rather than making them, and I'm only really musing rather than it being an issue if you see what I mean? thanks for the link anyway.

The constellation mirror was on sale inmy local TK Maxx a few weeks ago for £65, I really wanted it but couldn't bring myself to spend that much on it as it would have meant taking down another one from elsewhere in the house. Might be worth having a look ladies?

Here's one I did last week. I think I'm actually going to have a go at selling this one as I've found a better one for the space I have at for my tv.

That is really an ugly duckling into a swan! Looks a very solid piece too, hope you manage to sell it.
