    Hi everyone :-)
    Happy New Year to fellow MFWs :beer:

    Have started my new job and am posting from work :eek:

    BTW, the imutual offer for £30 CB for Moneyvista is back. Here is the link. HTH.

    Thanks, I completed it and my £30 is pending :T

    Congrats on job btw :)
  • I have kept away from the January sales so far, but succumbed to M&S. Bought a new handbag for £19, but then paid for it with reward vouchers. Other bargains were around 10 birthday, wedding and thank you cards for 1p each (original price ranges from £2-£3 apiece). They had a sticker on them stating 'Last chance to buy' - I guess that is the trigger for this penny bargain.:j

    Thank you - all ok here so far in 2013! (well aside from some sniffles but that is quite rare for me!)

    Ha ha NP just asked me the same thing. Not sure yet - still working out a few things this end....:o

    The handbag was a Limited Collection one, though I am of the age to be stamped Classic :eek:

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
