    I shop all over the place markets are great for cheap veg. I did use the offer a couple of times, but i didn't do it as much as i could have done- just didn't have the time to research it all..i like quidco, i can see my cash tracked and that'll do:D One transaction-simples:rotfl:

    Forgot to add i have paid another £80 off joint debt by PAD..i also had boiler and fire serviced, so that was another £60 for both.

    So basically i have had a freebie service with cashback. :)

    I am considering splurging out on a Tesco shop, just seeing how much i can get through to get a discount.

    Gosh well done. :D:D:D

    I have to be in the right frame of mind to get it all sorted at times, it is easy and i kick myself when i don't do it.

    Half term starts next Friday for us.

    Beanie ask him to chat to the careers/higher education dept before he leaves so he knows about clearing in case it is required. Also maybe the school has contacts in universities he has applied to to confirm whether they can offer him a place.

    All that happens is that the universities will publish a list of where they have spaces on courses (in newpapers, after the A level results come out) and DS may have to ring if he is unable to meet his conditional offers.

    A levels are the most stressful things i ever did. I loved university and went back many times!!! Too many.

    Beanie don't be nervous, he is a good boy and tries hard. When are his exams I will pray for him. Poor flower they are so stressful.
