what was your total outlay for what you got back thanks:)

Hi mgamble I spent £11.89 and got £93 of giftcards plus the 26 greeting cards! The initial outlay is only spent once so the more you do the more you will get! You need to spend £10 on the giftcard plus the cost of one greeting card but that's all, you then use the gift cards to pay each time.

It ends on the 29th though (thanks Bensonsmum) so you only have a couple of days...bring it on!!!!:j

it wasn't directed at anybody in particular, Smart1e. It was just a reminder to everyone and also to request that people don't include the pictures when they press quote to reply to a post.

Can you give us guidelines on the size of picture please?

Smart1e's picture earlier didn't give me any problems but on the smaller one it is very difficult to see the detail of the items

Lacking motivation today to go out clothes hunting and WHSmith gift card getting!

My Grandad's post mortem results were returned today and no cause of death could be found, so the coroner has ordered an inquest to be held. My mum and aunt and uncle have a meeting at the coroner's office tomorrow at 9am. At the moment only a temporary death certificate has been issued which means no funeral can be arranged - at the moment it's pencilled in for Friday but that's only going to happen if the certificate is issued tomorrow.

All this waiting is just making me feel so on edge, I can't relax.
I'm not sleeping well, and today I woke up at 3am after dreaming the hospital had made a mistake and my grandad was still alive and I went to see him and he was happy and so much better and hiding his sweets and chocolates from the nurses so he could eat them sneakily, waking up was horrible when I realised it was a dream

I just can't handle the not knowing of what's happening..... and I just want him back soooo much :A
Sorry for rambling and lowering the mood

I just wanted to say how lovely everyone in this thread is... its such a nice welcoming community and rare to find online nowadays..so many sites are full of people that just want to critisize people and pick holes in the way people live their lives/spend their money etc... but this is the first thread I have come across with genuinely kind people that will support & guide others through the bad times.:)

Thank you all for your words and well wishes, I do appreciate it so much, it does make it that little bit easier, knowing that there's someone to talk to.
And freddiesmum, you are so right, I was always nervous about posting here, I've not been a great contributor (not for lack of trying to find glitches!) and even though I'm not a "well known" name the support I have received has been really great and to all of you I really appreciate it

So sorry for your loss. I know only too well what you're going through but for slightly different reasons.
When my DH died last April the coroner wasn't going to do a post mortem but I begged him to because although DH was overweight he'd had nothing seriously wrong with him that would have caused him to die suddenly. I needed to know that there wasn't some underlying condition that neither he nor I knew about because I needed to be sure that our DS wouldn't be affected by anything medically wrong.
They didn't want to do it because a high profile policeman murder had occured earlier the same day and with only 1 coroner in NI he was busy with this. I insisted and got onto DHs GP, my own GP, the policemen who were at our house and the recorder person who'd phoned me to tell me there would be no P.M. They finally done what I'd asked but it took a week before we could bury him and even then they gave a 'notice for permission for burial' only, death cert. came 3 months later.
I hope everything goes ok tomorrow for your mum and family and hope that you'll get the permission to go ahead with the funeral xxx

Similiar story to me when my dad died. He'd died because of asbestosis but I had to fight to get the post mortem.Even when he passed at the hospital they wouldnt have it at the hospital that a post mortem was needed. I was lucky and had been told exactly what I needed to do when the time came and just wouldnt let go until they agreed. I needed the post mortem to be done to confirm the proper cause and to confirm that my dad was otherwise fit and healthy as I was fighting for compensation for my mum. My dad was 57 and even at the coroners court thingie (Not sure what it was but I had to go) someone said that my dad had a heart attack at 49 so was not in the best of health, but the post mortem proved their was nothing wrong with his heart.It was hard but my mum got a big payout and a good pension which was exactly what my dad wanted for her. But it was heartbreaking to go through it when all you want is some sort of closure:(

If I wasnt so thick and bad at maths I would give the whsmith deal a go....I have sat here for ages with a pen and paper (and my brain lol) trying to figure it out... and I just can't- even with the detailed explanation given on the actual thread...how embarassing lol:rotfl: well done to the lady who found it tho and all those taking advantage :T

If you want to try it Freddiesmum give it a go...

You need about £12 to start.

Buy a greeting card for £2. Then ask at the till for the £15 giftcard for £10 deal (when you buy the card).You get a giftcard worth £15 for £10 when you buy a greeting card.

So then you get a greeting card and a £15 giftcard for £12.

Now go back and buy another greeting card and £15 giftcard but pay for it with the first £15 giftcard you got.

Then do it again! Each time you do it assuming you buy a greeting card for £2 you will have £3 more on your giftcards than when you started.

So the more you do it the more you will get and the staff don't seem to mind!

photos of new 1p items

Oh I saw baskets of them about a month ago, including some very battered looking microphone shaped soaps, all scanned at 50p, and I was on a 1p mission at the time, so they felt really expensive:rotfl:.

...wonder if they still have any at my store? Might have to give it a try, thanks OP!
