Morning Blue, yes you are right. There were some going on freecycle but they got offered to someone else.

These have blackout behind them, fully lined and keep the heat in, and most importantly, are not longer than my window so DO NOT cover the radiator. I am rubbish at sewing and cannot shorten these, the lady down the road wants to charge £35 to shorten them, for that I can get a brand new pair! :eek:

I have put wanted ads on freecycle, netmums, my freecycle ad got removed, dislike our mod intensely, she is a horror. and no one had any on netmums. Plus I have to make sure they go with decor....

gah....

Join my freecycle, you know most stuff can be sent cheaply;)

Following the advice of Aesop I have moved this question here.

I have no Morrisons or Asda near me so would I be able to buy the Campbells condensed soup at T's and get the money back in price check?

You should be able to as long as the flavour is stocked by Asda. Tesco only match with Asda btw. You could buy it in Sainsburys as well and get a price match voucher. Just check that the flavours you want are sold in Asda. With Tesco and their love of N?A I would just test it with one of whichever flavours you want first. You can always take them back to tesco if they don't though.;)

If you have a sainsburys, then do a few shops on the same conveyor and then you can buy a few soup and then use the voucher you get on the next lot etc.

I can give you a game.... just don't expect much competition! you will win... :rotfl:

I looked at the stuff you sent me, as usual where I live is complicated.... where is the rolling eye smiley. It is not straight forward. Involves making appt with CAB. For that I need to get all my paperwork together and get them to apply to on my behalf.

I sometimes use Mysupermarket.com - register and log in, then go to Ts and choose your products on the shelf, put them in your basket and on the right hand side, it will show you how much cheaper they can be at Asd a and sainsbobs. You can then decide how you want to shop.

Dr Who Who (sp) spends hours compiling her list this way! :eek:

ah the benefits of having a DS, I book appointment through my local children's centre and take DS with me otherwise it is a long wait for my CAB. have I ever told you I live in a bad place? to be honest the last time I saw them the lady I saw wasn't very good and had to ring her supervisor for help. Even then they couldn't help, although they told me about something I didn't know, which I have been using since. I ended up doing my own research to get my problem resolved.

BUT I will call and make and appointment and go armed with paperwork, so they can just do it for me no faffing.

Hi Idlesaver. I hope DD gets better soon. I ain't been to sleep:eek::eek:I think I was too tired and knew that I had to wake up at 8am as I have couriers coming anytime from 8am to 6pm to collect my electric blanket and deliver a new one. This is the 2nd one that has gone faulty. I bought an expensive one this time thinking it would last (£59:eek:) and I have had more trouble with it than the cheap one I had before. I'm just hoping it has 2 years warranty cos the new one will be out of warranty in 3 weeks if not. I think it's wrong the warranty on replacements carries on from when you bought the original stuff not when you got a replacement.
