Doc do you rerally need to replace the battery?...I'm using an Acer laptop and the battery is kapput, I just use it with the mains connector in all the time...the little battery life icon just shows fully charged 100% all the time, if I unplug then it lasts about 15 mins before going off totally.....hubby has made me a sort of wooden tray thingy with wooden sides to raise it up , I have a recliner chair so it needed to slope slightly and it is set at a perfect height for me...and my laptop fits on there perfectly, he has drilled out lots of holes in it ( the tray not the laptop) so it helps to keep air circulating to stop it overheating ( the laptop not the tray) and I've made a soft foam pad to rest my wrist on and have adapted a mousemat with duct tape so it won't slide off...I use a wireless mouse with my laptop , hate using the inbuilt one.,( blooming cursor goes haywire, never in the right place)......it's right next to a power point so no probs using it this way....don't need to ever take it away from home as I'm lucky to have the notebook I won in the Robinsons comps , or my iPad.

VAT is normally 20% unless they state otherwise, so would say add 55p to it.

hmm says here £3.23

so maybe 17.5%

Thanks Aesop, never used myhermes before.

myhermes has mixed reviews, mostly bad, but have a look at this thread before making up your mind who to use

Yes, A. Bully, I have already bought it - it doesn't hurt paying £26 for the charger/adapter & battery to find it if its the battery & not the netbook.

Like I said - if its the netbook then I shall go pick a new one from my store.:D

Hi,

Just wondering if any of you regularly use coupons on Tesco Express?
I tend to use them in bigger stores but feel bad using them in smaller shops... am I weird? LOL.

I have so many £1 coupons from SSM which will expire if I don't use them today. I'm thinking of having a walk to the little Express near me and seeing what I can get.

I use them in my tesco express. Especially as my tesco is a 30 mins bus ride away. If I only want little shopping, go express and use them.
