    Hey F-f

    Brain isnt working so well today and sure youve mentioned about switching energy suppliers but no idea who you went with, alas my provider EDF recently stopped giving nectar points and it now seems British Gas are their new "partners" :mad:

    Dont know if thats any use to you?
    I collect through sainsburys, sainsburys petrol, and I *think* you can get points from amazon via nectar?
    Yep just checked http://www.nectar.com/collect-online/retailer/amazon.points

    HTH oh thrifty one :D

    I then went to the Stationers and got red glittery card, white glittery card and white card.

    Obviously I need the ribbon which I can get from the haberdashery place but how will I make the top bit with the writing on?
    The bit with the writing on will be quite easy to do if you have a printer at home. You can use one of the standard fonts that comes with Open Office or regular Office software and write the message then print onto good quality white card. I would then cut a slightly larger shape with the red glittery card and stick the white card with the writing on top. This will give it dimension and a bit of colour too.

    A good place to ask would be the card making thread here. Those ladies make me look like a total amateur!

    Free most days to be honest although got quite a lot of movie-related plans this week. This weekend suits me if you're about?

    Thank you! Only remembered about Amazon after I made my order *d'oh* but will be making more in the coming weeks I'm sure so will make sure and remember. Mr Fresian has also been given a card and strict instructions to use it for all diesel :D

    The weekend would be good for me - Off work tomorrow at least as I still have no voice and am feeling pretty yuk - Hoping to be back at work and feeling better by Wednesday at the latest!

    A pretty good weekend all in all here at Fresian Towers.

    I went out for dinner on Friday night with some friends and came back pretty early. Sadly I was pretty tired so fell asleep just after nine :o which had the unfortunate side-effect of me waking up at 4.53am yesterday :eek::eek: I put the early start to good use though - tidying up, doing washing and then heading to the farmer's market. I didn't get a lot of food there but got tasty stuff. I also went to Aldi and the cinema having finally renewed my cinema pass!

    I popped into the local library yesterday and finally joined. I'm a voracious reader when I'm in the mood and have finished two of my library books since yesterday!

    Dinner yesterday was leftover venison stew, but I didn't have enough to comfortably feed both of us so I added chorizo sausages from the market and that made NOMS!! Really tasty it was - we will definitely do that again.

    Today I picked up the last of the essentials (Milk, bread and margarine) for under £4 and will be buying no more food apart from milk/bread this week. The cupboards are groaning and I want to see how well we can last on cupboard-food in February to try and rebalance the budget a bit.

    Hope everyone else has had a good weekend.

    Favour required from DailyMail readers!

    Morning folks :D

    If you're a regular Mail reader and don't intend to collect the tokens in the paper for the Royal Doulton figurines, would you consider collecting them for me? My mum loves Doulton and the figurines would make excellent presents for her, but I have certain issues with the Daily Mail and refuse to buy it :o I will happily cover postage for the tokens, but obviously only if you're buying the paper anyway.

    Much love,

    F_F

    Daily Mail Reader/Buyer receiving you loud and clear :rotfl:

    I am happy to save the tokens for you, maybe if you get more than one person offering we can order them for you as I expect it is one per household???

    Will have to double check

    I have the mail in front of me and they are doing the set but all seperately so this time only the Spring Waltz figurine is available.

    You need to register on 0901 292 5093 by leaving your name, address, postcode and phone number if you want to be one of the first to receive the figurine. Dispatch will start late May 2011 and pre-registered people will get theirs first.

    Phone number above open until 4th Feb 2011.

    I think the full terms and conditions should be on their website somewhere?
