Thanks Esmer I spent £25. I bought a jam book too - the £4.99 one, and some Jam jar caddys - they were reduced to £5.99 when I looked the other day they are £3.99 now. Result!

Mary: Every crafts a pound and Mad about cards are the cheapest - other than that, check out ebay as they have sample books of papers. Type 8x8 Dovecraft backing paper - they are really cheap.

I'm glad you had a good day Rufus

Took ages typing this out because I was adding links for Mary so I've missed the last few posts - sorry.

Anglea - If it happens again I would still say something.

Karma - Here Here! I think it's a wonderful site too. This whole thread (and the people on it) are wonderful. :A

elysia - thanks for the links...........saved them in my favourites and will go through them tomorrow.

Angela..........making sure the food one goes out but no guarantee they'll collect it if its for the recycling bin:( Still, we'll see what happens.

Hi all

Mary, the food bin is supposed to go out each week where I live.

Gemini, I don't think with the amount of posts you have there is a problem with attachments or links. However, it can be tricky to add them, some website addresses are easy to do, others you need to have a few goes (or more :mad:). Same with photos.

Lol, I must have those bins on my mind. Earlier on I was fed up of them in the street with it raining and the recycling getting soaked so brought them near the front door - which is below where I'm sitting. Just now, I heard a strange noise and thought 'it's those neighbours again with my bin' - it was my foot rustling a piece of paper on the floor!! :rotfl:

Evening all, hope you're all well

I've got started on next year - got all my cards and wrap 70% off at Sainsburys and ordered my Dad's birthday present (8th March) - got him a complete Billy Connolly box set from Amazon for £21.47 (had a £2.50 off voucher to get it at this price). Next cheapest price is over £70 so I'm v happy :j

Anglea

Hi all

Saffstar that was an amazing bargain if they're normally £70.

Angela......ours always used to be weekly when it was just one bin.........since they brought in the recycling (one for paper, one for green waste) its once a fortnight, alternates between black bin(food) and the others. Best of it is........they stop collecting the green waste bin in November and don't start till Spring !

I've reserved an Auotglym Valet set to collect in store at Halfords for the web price of £40 from £86 incl carry case for my car cleaning mad brother either birthday present or Christmas present next year.

I think this year his Car Cleaning hamper came to around £30+ with lower branded products so I'm just weighing up whether to collect this one or not. If I get it it means all this hamper is bought, maybe some more sponges and cloths to go with it to make up to around another £10

It's definately worth £40 when I took off the cost of the clothes and 2 bottles of cleaning products came to this price alone
