    that quidco is a right scam - i got RAC pre christmas through it, the cashback never appeared, i queried it and they mailed back (over christmas) when i was ill and as i didnt respond within x days my query is closed, despite the fact that apparently i got a message asking for information WHICH I HAD ALREADY POSTED to them in my initial email.

    if it wasnt for the cashback i'd have certainly purchased AA instead of RAC

    Good afternoon all. TFI Friday.

    Hope everyone is looking forward to the weekend.

    Its my DD's birthday so I am taking 10 9/10 year old girls to the cinema and for something to eat tomorrow. I may need lots of wine tomorrow evening to recover.

    Good Evening

    Been to the fracture clinic with dh this morning, his elbow is def broken, but his wrist is still too swollen to see according to the dr's. Sp he has to try and move his arm now.

    Went into Newport afterwards and got some cracking bargains :) so chuffed, Went to boots cause I had a no 7 £5 off voucher and 2 no 7 250 points vouchers, so got no 7 facial wipes on 3 for 2 and £5 off so paid £9 for 3 pks plus had 250 in points as well, had another £5 off voucher so got another pk for £2 and another 250 points, overall saving of £17.00 :)

    Then we went to Claires accessories and they were doing 10 items for £10 :eek: so bought 3 pairs of boot slippers price tag £12 each :eek: 3 nail gift sets price tag £10 each, a watch price tag £10, a book for mum price tag £7, a book for ds2 price tag £9 and an hello kitty bag pricetag £10, so has £104 worth of stuff for £10 :eek: bargain or what?? and a good few birthday pressies too :) so all in all saved quite a lot of money today :)

    Shattered now though :)

  • Claire your poor OH. Is he in a sling stil or have they put a plaster cast on?

    Can I come shopping with you please? That#s some amazing bargains.

    I'm in teh process of re-arranging the hallway again. The shoe rack is now shoe free, I've put them into two big storage boxes that have gone in the wardrobe and in the process I#ve thrown away 5 pairs of shoes and have 3 to give to a charity shop. OMG, it sounds like I've got a shoe festish. The shoe rack is now going to be used as a book case type thing in the study. If that makes sense.

    I also need to wash up, clean the kitchen floor and sit down adn relax!
