Hiya everyone

Georgie - fab bargains. Was there anything any good reduced giftwise? It's a bit out of the way for me, but I could be persuaded if there are bargains.

I finally dropped off at 7am on the settee downstairts and OH woke me up at 11 by putting the tv on. Inconsiderate! LOL

I've spend all afternoon listing on ebay. So hopefully this time next week, i'll be a millionaire. I wish.

It probably depends what kind of thing you are looking for, and when you want it for. I went in to find a coat. And only looked at the other stuff because the coat I found was so cheap. Some of the foodie stuff was extra reduced - I bought a Christmas tin of biscuits with a sell by date of Mar 2012. TK Maxx is very hit and miss, sometimes it's fab and other times it's not so good. There was a very nice Ronni Nicole dress (ex QVC) which I would have bought if I was a size 10. But then if I was a size 10 I wouldn't have gone in the first place.

Glad you managed to have a bit of a snooze - I fell asleep again when I got home about 3.

And congratulations on the ebay listings. I really should make an effort to do the same.

I also did a fluffy yellow one last year esmer.

Just did a Vistaprint order, I can never get it to go through on topcashback, vistaprint always trys to charge me full price for the 'free' things if I do. I got a notebook, a mug, 10 notelets with envelopes, 10 A4 letterheaded pages and envelopes, 140 return address labels, 10 christmas cards and envelopes and 100 postcards which I made with "thank you" written on and with a picture of presents figured that will cover most eventualitys with Thank you notes! Got all of it including postage for £12 saved £42!!! :eek:

Please tell me your secrets on how you do it? I would love all of that you ordered lol but cannot for the life of me figure vista print out , took me ages to order the "free" business cards lol. x

I sometimes have to play about with it for example it offered me free notelets but when I designed them and went through to checkout it was trying to charge me so I went out and back in and it gave me them for free! The emails they send are great for freebies and I do cheat slightly and have 2 email accounts one going to my address one going to my nans, I switch between them and the one that hasnt been used the longest gets better offers so I use that one then vice versa. I never go OTT with the ordering, maybe 3 to 4 times a year but when I order I do a BIG order!! As I say some people can even manage to get free things and cashback!

To get the free things, you need to go through the free stuff link. But if you open TCB and the email with the free-stuff link in different tabs in your browser, click through from your email and design your free stuff then put it in your basket. Then click through TCB, which will open you a new window but should remember that you have stuff in your basket. You can then pay the free-stuff postage and not the extra :money:

Just trying to plan what we're up to tomorrow. I need to take the small one to Gymboree and make the big one make a bunch of phone calls, other than that I'll need to do the banking LEAST FAVOURITE TASK.

I came back here to post, after placing my order but noticed it was time for Bingoport.

I bought all free stuff and when I went through quidco my order came to £18 with out p+p, so I went through TCB and it came to £13 without p+p, so I just paid for my order without cashback and it came to 23p and £4.50 p+p. Brilliant!

I bought a stamper thingy with my address on for ebay. I bought a pen with special auntie on for OH's sister birthday (ooops her birthday in two days). I bought a desk calendar with photos of the kids on for me, and a personalised diary for DD2. It's so sweet it has lovely fairies and butterflies on.

I've tried putting a vistaprint order through tonight but once I go over 4 items in my order they start charging for something. Has anyone else found this?
