    What M&S gift vouchers? I went through quidco for my netflix, I don't get M&S as well do I? Dine in is on this week at M&S

    no, there was a separate offer, IS signed up for it. You had to subscribe for x months, get so many vouchers, subscribe for longer, get more.

    I looked at it and nothing I want to watch on there, so cancelling subscription.

    on the keyboard:D:D, ok, me forgot to say on the number lock keypad, as the top keyboard numbers does not work:o:o:o:o

    YES JEFF!!! You missed out the important bits:cool: off with your head:p

    :rotfl: - my laptop and extra keyboard both have numeric keypad so not a problem.
    The other way I have done it is (on Windows 7!) - Left click on:
    Start
    All Programs
    Accessories
    System Tools
    Character Map.

    Then make sure Font: is a normal one like Arial or Verdana. Left click on ° symbol, left click on Select, left click on Copy.

    You now have the ° symbol in memory and can paste (CTRL + V) in your post, document, whatever!

    Slightly more long winded ;) but it will stay in memory until you copy something else so if you want lots of degree symbols it may be quicker.

    I sometimes leave them all until the end and then paste them in in one go :D.

    It also shows you what key combinations you need for other symbols and characters (bottom right) and you can create a shortcut to Character Map on your desktop to make it easier to find :cool:.

    If anyone wants to know how to do this please ask :)
    If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try - oh bu99er that just cheat :D

    I didn't bother with the m&S voucher offer but did a 1 month trial through TopCashBack, let FD watch kiddies programs on the Wii instead of CBeebies and it's paid £15+ already :j
    Also just received £158+ from Expedia for New York holiday we booked a couple of months ago. I love TCB :D. We buy a bit of stuff from Amazon so I got an extra 5% by choosing to be paid by eVoucher.
