    :D Coupons = the only money we can legally print for ourselves:D

    :j A coupon for a free item that is price glitched in Mr T's to be cheaper than Sada for an apg = HEAVEN :j

    :money: total = £47.48 cc = 413 selling stuff = £23.00 Floor pennies = £5.79

    Sorry quick look through, someone was after an xbox deal, just got a good deal on amazon, Halo 4, Xbox console and Xbox Live 12 months for £150.00. Sorry can't remember who was wanting it.


    Thanks Sarahdol, saw this when I woke this morning and ordered it along with Fifa 13 :-)

    Very likely

    The missus sits with the laptop on a cushion which means it is always overheating. Worse still she doesn't seem to care if that same cushion causes upward pressure on the power cord going into the lappy :eek:

    It makes me :mad:

    I have always told her that if the laptop needs replaced it will be because of that blooming cushion

    Perhaps you could get her a special laptray for Chrimbo, the ones with the beanbag base...... I always have my lappy on mine.

    The problem could more be that MT £3 in sainsbobs ends on the 20th, so it will be a case of finding another option for the comparison bit if the 3 for £10 stays in place. :T


    I reprted earlier that the Vinnies tins are a goer with a LOB

    Square and round - they will give £4 + apg

    Cheap solution- put a plastic chopping board on top of the cushion and then set te lappy on that:)
