    No rush for book - I'm going nowhere :). Well, not for 3 years anyway :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Free Family and Friends rail-card for 2 months for those with children below 16. If you register for this, usually you can get half-price rail card for a year after that. HTH.

    A good bargain!

    I found that you can buy 5 fruit trees for your garden for £29 here. Shamelessly plugging my referral here :D But if anyone wants to takes up this offer, send me pm beforehand so that I can pass on the £5 credit which I have at my disposal.

    Have a good day,

    Good Morning :)

    Hope all of you are enjoying the BH today!

    I tried to get my back garden/rear yard into shape for planting veggies - alas it has enough stones to build a fort. I have cleared a small area by recruiting DH and DS1 to do a bit of free labour in exchange for lemonade. Have done some batch cooking for the week ahead - bought whole chickens as part of the M&$ D1ne-in promo.

    Some :money: tips:
    • For those who are regulars at L1dl, there is £5 off printable voucher in their FB page.
    • Free book from WHSm1ths through 02 pri0rity m0ments.

    Also don't forget FLW on fleabay.

    Hello fellow MFWs,

    I have been MIA (true to that abbreviation - really missing out on MSE buried until loads of answer scripts that need marking) for the past few days, but happy to report £44.xx worth of sales on fleabay. Into the mortgage OP pot it goes.

    A few tips:

    Free book worth £3.99 on 02 Priority Moments to be claimed from WHS

    6-pack Hoops and Cr0sses (Roast beef and S&V flavours, but not prawn cocktail variant) scanning at 50p at Mr.T's metro stores - there is a 50p off voucher in this month's magazine. So free with voucher.

    Packets of Maggi so Crispy dry marinades/dressings are 65p. . 15p with vouchers from the above magazine.

    Loads of canned fish (sardines, mackerel, pink salmon etc.) on reduced-to-clear (BBE 2014-2016) with prices ranging from 17p to ~70p in MrT's stores.

    Hi all,

    Nothing much to report other than a small OP. I'll try to update my signature with new outstanding mortgage figures - only problem is W00lwich does not provide any online mortgage account details.

    Most of the days this week have been NSDs, but splurged on these today £1.24 at MrT's store. Also bought a bargain box of 200 sachets of 12g (2.4 kg :eek:) He1nz burger sauce for 99p at the 99p store. Salad cream was also available, but then it was not a brand that I had heard about.
