Thanks Chick - I didn't see that promotion. I did wonder if the one I did the other day would count, but having checked, it only started today. Good luck everyone - I hope everyone can do at least one.

Thanks for the info Emma. I can redeem, but I think I'll let it mount up a bit over there first. I'm saving the Chow money for my passport.

Oh dear, looks like I'm going to be waiting a while lol!

I need to get some money for mine and DD's passport too! Off anywhere nice? We are going to spain next year for my nan and grandads 50th anniversary, most of the extended family are going, can you imagine all of us on the airplane haha

wow I am KNACKERED! Heading straight to bed in a minute. Yawnnnnn!

Bunbun : happy to report I did get my bargains Even my Dad was impressed (which says something!)

Didnt head out at 6am but did head out before my physio app at 8am to the tescos nearby and managed to get two of the 8 stitch sewing machines, they were priced up as £14 (from 60ish I think) but scanned at £6! There was 2 left so I got both. Came home and gave one to my Dad telling him he bought me a christmas gift today (and therefore owed me £6!) and have now decided the other is for my cousin for xmas as shes getting into textiles/art/scrapbooking so think it may be useful for her. Also got a braun electric shaver for £8 but the box is all bashed.

The headed to another one nearby, my friend has text me to say not much going on but couldnt resist going myself. Got a suitcase for £3, neck toner for £3.06 (mums xmas gift) and then anotehr braun electric shaver for £15. Was thinking of my cousin that is turning 18 soon for the shavers so asked my Dads opinion so we have now decided that Dad is having the £8 one for christmas and my cousin is having the £15 one for his birthday.

So very happy shopper today, although the very early morning added to a very busy day at works followed by my dance lesson equals a very tired me!

Brilliant bargains Giggles. You did well there.

Night everyone - I'm off now too.

Great bargain there Giggles. I can't even be bothered to look at what is a bargain to be honest. Too busy this week. I'm pleased so many of you have done well though.

I just shook myself, and did one review for C which is live, and basically rewrote another one to add onto C too, (both travel) which was one I wrote early into reviewing so was a bit pants. So a bit better there if it does get added. I should get about £40 from C this month, which feels low as I have had two months round £70. Can't do it all though can I.

I'm sure I can squeeze some more travel ones out.

I can tell i've neglected reviewing as it is normally me who points out promotions. I dont think I have a 60p one in me, though I have a kitchen appliance in suggestions. I'll see if that qualifies, and then nudge them to see if they will add it for me.

Susan - OH NO!!! What a Day!!! I couldn't make out if you were having us on at first. Are you having the op or you putting it off until after hols?

Bunbun - well done on your sales. 10/11 is fab. I chenged my password. I should really have phoned them up but it's a premium rate number, and last time I was on hold for 20 mins, so I just have my fingers crossed extra tight, that the only thing they got was my 'old' password.

Legend - night night. I hope Connor (and you) get's a better night's sleep.

Another person paid just, so another visit to PO in the morning. I just wish the other two would pay so I can get it all done.

The straighteners I had spare I sold on - Mum had one and an MSE friend (Waves) had another. Both sold at cost price. Have you seen the things people have been buying on the grabbit? One person must have spent nearly £1,000 today. I'm all for getting a bargain but leave some for everyone else. :mad:

Thank you again for this. You are definately one of the good ones :T

Apologies if it has already been mentioned but Tesco have 25% off 6 bottles of wine, if you pick up some thats on promo, apparently the promo doesn't go on receipt, but you get double the difference back from customer services. Apparently the small wines are included in the 25% offer.

Morning guys.

I've realised just how tired I was last night. I wrote a review about a swimming pool, which is not a 'travel' review at all. I could have sworn it was last night.

Oh well. It was a first review at least so double points for that.

Feeling a bit less tired today as I was in bed for 11:30.

I got a nice surprise as my Chacha balance had gone up loads. I answered the 2nd most amount of Qs in 24 hours on Sunday, and got 2nd place prize of £7.50, plus another £6 in bonuses for being on and answering so many over the 2 days. I'm well happy with that. My balance is approaching £90, so I am still aiming for £200 if I can over the next few weeks.

Hope everyone is well, and fingers crossed for crown day.
