    ok I admit it I am bad:rotfl:
    could not resist BS glitch now that I have the £5 code so just ordered a 3rd lot of stuff I don't need:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    don't know how they make money with that site,I got all 3 freebies plus £5 off.I found out my LYB card had expired so was going to buy a new one BUT as soon as I put it in basket I lose one of the freebies despite updating it so gave up esp as def will not be buying anything else for ever(well maybe not quite ever:rotfl:)

    this site has actually made me buy more stuff this month as would not have known about glitches without it:rotfl:make some space on the naughty step please

    Mingle - your BS haul is impressive -I'm still waiting for my 3rd order!
    Let me know how you get on with returning the items. Do you take in the receipt with the prices on? Would they refund just part of an order and I wonder if maybe they would exchange a few of mine for other flavours? Just a thought - I hate returning stuff!


    Have a great day everyone!

    They wouldn't let me in the end. Sigh. They said I had to return all or nothing which is a shame. Fortunately it was gift sets that I was trying to return but those can be given as gifts :) I did swap one item for a different flavour though and they were fine with that :):)

    HTH .

    A few ins:
    6 packets of Boots cucumber face wipes. 3 for £3 but 6 came to £3.97 :D:D:D. It would have been rude not to at that price! Oh the amount of odd looks that I got in store today.

    A lush henna freebie- I want to perk up my colour and they were very accommodating :)

    Also bought a red spotty umbrella because it started to tip it down. Typical Manchester! It was a £4 primarni special.

    We had a free meal today courtesy of an unused groupon voucher so today's spend was under a tenner. We also walked about 3 miles (no exaggeration!)


    Hope you're all having a lovely day.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Having seen that some of you have placed further BS orders I now dont feel so bad about placing a second order! But £75.00 worth of stuff for £22.00 is a bargain! (Am I justifying it too much?! LOL)

    A UU No7 eye makeup remover GWP size - I love this stuff but for what it is I do think its quite expensive. I am onto the Clinique mag freebie eyes lips and lashes next then I have the L'Oreal one which I cant wait to try.

    Ladies - it sounds like this BS glitch is getting out of control, I haven't been on the site so not sure what it is you are all doing, over and over again:rotfl:.

    Welcome Paula74.

    What channel is the extreme coupon programme on, quite fancy watching that.

    I watched superscrimpers last night, that student knew how to spend. Some people go too far though, last week there was a lady who went to bed with her clothes on and she also ladelled out her bath water to use for other things - bit extreme for me I think. One thing that bugs me is the bike, we all know Mrs Moneypenny is not going to cycle the length and breadth of britain to make this programme so why pretend she is.

    Just have the big issue of how to get to the airport :o the flight out is at 6am which means a very early start - we looked into getting the national express down to bristol but it means leaving at 2am to get us there with enough time :eek: and I think thats going to be waaaaaay to early, might have to drive down and leave the car at the airport - unfortunatly because the holiday is wed-wed I very much doubt OH's parents are going to be able to take us like they did last time....
    Once I find out the baggage allowance Im going to be sorting out all my toiletries :)

    Charlie, would it be possible to drive down the night before and book a £20 travelodge or similar? Thats what we did last time we had a really early flight. Plus if u check in on line u only need to be in the airport about an hour before the flight. At least u get a nights sleep before u leave and someone doesn't have to be driving half asleep :eek:

    I think it will be ok driving - its only about a 30-45 min drive to the airport from the house its just if we get the bus because they run so infrequent it would mean a stupid early start....Don't know whats happening about our tickets, apparently we have to pick them up at the airport, last time we booked 'late' we had 6 weeks before we flew so we just had the tickets sent in the post.
    Stupid really as the closest airport to us is Cardiff but it added an extra £150 to the cost of our holiday so Bristol worked out so much cheaper even with the cost of petrol, parking and the bridge toll


    Just sent an application off for a job in town that works at a drug charity - perfect for my subject area of my degree....fingers crossed (although I think Im well underqualified for the role)
