    Does anyone know when Homebase will do another 15 or 20% off soon? Is there a regular cycle to their promotions?

    Thought I would ask here as you are all experts!!

    Need wallpaper but cannot afford their prices :eek::eek:

    Don't know if it's my computer being silly, but has anyone else noticed that when you (or maybe it's just me) thank someone, the thanks count goes up by 2? :huh:

    Can't afford their prices WITH 15/20% off:o:o If you know anyone who is a pensioned then B&Q have a 10% (think) discount card which you can use on a Wednesday;)

    No but I tested it on your post and it went up by 2 because BLUEWKD had thanked at the same time :D

    That is terrible Blue :(:(

    Change your name by deed pole?? :p

    Only joking - it's not a laughing matter I am sure, I would try what Doc says, set it all up in your OH's name and then when it is things to be sent to you use your name. For example, when my daddy ordered something for me on Amazon he paid for it using his CC, but sent it to my address using my name.

    Hope this makes sense lol

    Anyone waiting on results from a JTD yesterday?? Put it in yesterday am nothing yet...

    This is my story if you didn't see it before https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/comment/43169018#Comment_43169018 Paypal can link addresses and credit cards etc. If I opened an account in my OH's name and details, knowing my luck I will get some decent dosh in my account and then they will block it. It is a pain when I have things I want to sell and also when it would be easier paying someone by paypal. I was lucky as I had no dosh in paypal, but have previously had hundreds of quid in my account which could have been blocked for 6 months.

    But do you shop at Dulux deco?

    I have a list of nectar points I think the lowest is 500 nectar point when you spend £40, there are a few 1000 nectar points - come to think of it - its crap points!:o

    But you can have it if you want it.


    Wait a while, homebase always have offers. Don't buy yet.
