    She didn't want cos she has to pay for them. She wants them IF someone else is stupid enuff to buy them for her. Yep, def NOT my sis, cos all she is doing nowadays is putting off newbies and saying "I want, I want" when she is spending all her dosh on new gadgets:eek::eek::eek:

    Now gonna try and get some rest cos I gotta go shopping tomorrow. Asda say they wanna give me some stuff and it's windy so I may go help my uncle with his cleaning;) I got 2 cond spends to spend at Tesco as well and haven't done my shopping list yet:o:o Thank goodness for MT and her list:beer:
    BTW Bully's sleeping tip works, just need one to keep me asleep more than an hour or two now:cool:

    farmville, have you got an android or iPhone?

    have you got quidco app installed?

    if not, get it installed, and then open it, and look for deals nearby. You may find they offer you something for your local Homebase.

    I have only just remembered to use mine yesterday while out MSing, and got £1 for checking in (I was outside the shops) ;)

    And it was interesting to see I was getting offers like 50% off £35 online pizza ordering at pizza hut

    40% off at Body Shop if I bought 4 things in store.

    and more.

    Ooh great tip Aesop, thank you, did not know about that...I have an iPhone :)

    Do you enjoy MSing? I have tried to do it before but no joy - it was all nightclubs :eek::eek: though that was about 5 years ago :cool:

    S's have loads pricey items but they have cap of just £10....thats shame:(:(:(:(

    Currently Oral B 100 ml ones are all £2.49 at S's but £1.24 at T's so worth considering with SSM coupons...;)

    I think MT has updated the shopping list that has items that can be used with the SSM coupons ;)

    some jobs I do, others get tedious. annoyed about yesterday, was late picking up DS - after 6pm as couldn't get back from one job, so had to pay a fine, and then today got an email saying I could have another week to do the job that made me get fined! I was annoyed and told them so, and about the fine, and that as I hadn't heard from them, went ahead and did it to my loss! It is a new company for me and I didn't want to cancel and you can't call them... so you have to rely on email.

    Hello Stranger. How's the seaside? I am still barred. There is nothing I can do to get my paypal account back, which means I cannot get my ebay account re opened cos paypal told them to shut it. I do now know 99% sure it is because of my brother and him selling stuff he shouldn't. Even though I live in different areas 100's of miles away and have had no contact via ebay or paypal for at least a year they have linked me with him because we used to send money via paypal and have the same last name:(

    Do you know a way around it? I stopped shopping at the B shop we had in common as the last time I got soo much hassle even though I bought everything I just decided it wasn't worth going there. The H store never gives me any trouble but not my nearest store unless there is a good offer with coupons to travel that distance.

    Mine was always the other way round with T's. H were awful to me and B was great. Still boycotting H. Its been over a year now. TBH T's went OTT. One minute you could buy anything - the next they even moaned if you you bought the items. Talk about one extreme to another. So hardly bother at all with MOC's. Did the boots vitamins glitch recently though, and i might pop in for a free burger and chips at yates next week :D

    As for scumbay, sorry ebay - its a good job other companies don't make us responsible for family - like paypal do. Imagine your electric being cut off cos auntie mavis did not pay her bill. Or being sent to jail because your 2nd cousin twice removed stole a packet of crisps. As with credit files etc - once you can prove you are not financially linked - that should be the end of it.

    This is what keeps getting mentioned - if you can blag a copy from somewhere, or something similar:-

    I'm glad i have the access card (sorry for bringing it up :o) - i empty my account as soon as it goes in now. You darn't even change anything in paypals settings - in case it upsets their computer and links you to the Syrian President. I havent had a bank account on my paypal account for 2 years. I darn't even add it back on - in case it then notices i didn't have one to start with :rotfl:. Hope you get back on in time though. Its a pain in the rear - but handy for finding things you want, or getting rid of things you don't. Have you thought about moving and changing you name to redWKD?:D

    You ready for the car-booting season?

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Morning all :D. Managed a JTD shop last night to use my last £5 off £40 at T's.
    Cleared the shelf of Lake District Cheddar £3.98 £2.00 and bought some vino that was 51p cheaper at A's. Also picked up some Doritos 2 for £3.50 2 for £2.00.
    Used a JTD and hoping to get one back for £16ish :)
    If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try - oh bu99er that just cheat :D
