When i placed an order this week i got a text saying that the delivery would be Friday but i was asked to text the number 1, 2 or 3 for Monday, Tues or Weds of next week if this past Friday was not convenient, which it wasn't.

Having said that, the text with the option to delay came on the morning of the day it should be delivered (the Friday), so maybe on Monday you will get a text and then you can delay delivery.

Thanks for the info I honestly don't remember getting a text at all for my last one, but as DS was at home (and not at college) it wasn't a problem.....

Monday morning will be too late for me though, even if it does come through

I start work at 7am, and can't have my phone with me..... so no way of picking up a text from 6:50am until I get my break (anytime between 10am and 11am depending on workload)

I done it!!!
Sorry am excited after last months out of control overspending!! Came in £30 under budget whoohoo, the main reason might be the car is in garage after head gasket blew up on way to london last week ,its in garage now dread to think how much it will be :-( So all the more reason for trying to save.

A huge thankyou to all who post, I dont have time usually to post very often but i try to read /log on BEFORE I go shopping it kinda keeps me on track
Off to Nov,, wow already!!!
Happy Shopping all.

Spent a little bit more than I wanted but I have stocked up some offers I'd seen

Morning all, I would like to declare at £167.47/£200 so really pleased with that, can you put me down for £200 again for November, though will be tougher I'm sure as the stock up for Christmas begins.
