I have got my head around how to do the codes to get £20.20 for hamper and beans but can't post codes here, as it is very complicated well for me anyways also done top cashback but apparently quidco giving more but I prefer TCB

Would never pay the £70 for the hamper in the first place but at these prices not bad for a christmas gift

AND OOPS this has taken me so long will have to go and get DS and never got an A's shop list done


Both orders have tracked already with TCB saving £1.02 if it finally pays out

AH, if you buy through TCB and Quidco is paying more, you get the link from Quidco and post here



http://www.topcashback.co.uk/Help/76

and they will take a look at Quidco and if they agree it is valid, they will up your cashback to match theirs. I have done this 3 times and only been refused one and that was for Crocs.

Do it now hun!

hello all, haven't been reading or posting Drivel as haven't been well all week. Get home and feel awful, and have been going to bed earlier than normal and no internet at all yesterday evening.

Went to help at DS' school Winter Craft Fair, 70 kids - and I volunteered to do the biscuit decorating table, with 10 kids sitting at a time..... let's say it got messy, but as the mum helping me said...

"We must be the most popular table, look they have finished and gone already!" pointing to the bag making table who had packed up at 4pm. I think the homemade biscuits were a big hit and the kids loved decorating them.

Was shattered afterwards, as they sit on low tables and constantly bending down to talk to them, gave me backache!

DS is loving school DH, despite all my concerns. I still have concerns about the school, things I hear from other mums, particularly ones who raved about the school and chose to put their kids in there. But DS loves it and being on the PSA means I am getting to see what goes on behind the scenes and get to know about school stuff, so I can keep an eye on them.

Their communication could do with better work though. Despite parent mail and letters in school bags, half the time people don't seem to know what is happening with school trips, etc.

BP, I came back to say hope you get well soon, as Blue had told me you had been ill, and the day I longed you were back :beer:

Welcome back and I hope you are fully recovered from your illness. :kisses:

Was just going to ask how you have been and your little man so I guess you have answered my question. Sorry to hear you haven't been well there is so much going round I guess the school craft fair didn't help your recovery sounded hectic:eek:. But you doing the right things getting involved with the school and activities good for relationships with the school;) and also for your little boy:A:A:A

Glad to hear ds settlin in, our school now use a texting system which is really effective we get usually 1-2 texts a day giving general info out and it gets sent to all parents must be better than letters coz Half the parents don't read them but if your phone goes beep you always look at it.

ours does texting but you have to pay for the texts! and it is more for school is closed due to bad weather. I have paid for that, as it takes us an hour to get to school and an hour or more to get back depending on buses. They are worse on the way home.

But I agree, texts would be better as more parents would be aware of stuff. The only thing I can think of is word of mouth, I do try to talk to parents in the playground and tell them what is happening but when there are 30 per class, and I am sometimes late, it is very difficult!
