    I still got the code from hankypanky (I think thats what its call or something hanky:o) £5 off train ticket, I think I have 2 codes and am not sure when it expires.

    Yesterday, I got £10 giftcard from Ikea for doing their survey.;)

    Still haven't spend my £150 winning from fashionconscience.com ( don't like their stuff so tacky & rubbish & ugly:eek: and its valid till June 2012) they better come up with something nice.

    :T BL! :T fab stuff. I have started reading all the junk leaflets that come through the door, just in case there is a hidden deal somewhere......

    Think my best deal was a few years ago when Barclays offered to beat your renewal premium or match it AND give you £100 pounds. Think I only paid about £24 for a year's insurance :beer:

    Right now MARTIN :money: LEWIS is on Radio Five Live

    He's just commented on the Gas/Electric reductions as trimming, shaving, tweaking the prices and NOT CUTTING them ....

    ... he then continued that the minor adjustments were " LIKE HAVING YOUR NIPPLES TWEAKED " :rotfl:

    The female presenter said she will remember his visit today for a long time to come :D
