HI MARTIN!

Can I ask a couple of things about this board please?

1. Does the post have to have started in the stated month?

2. I don't think you should allow votes for a certain month until the month is over. I agree the Boots post looks good but they're is a slight chance that someone post something better (ie. 75% off Boots (NOT!)) before the end of June.

3. A SUGGESTION. I did canvas a bit for my post last month (polite) but only because I felt people didnt know about this. Can the moderators put reminder posts now and again on some of the boards.

Anyway, great site,,but please change your pic it don't do u justice! haha

My vote goes to Petree,

Oops-not sure that I did the link thing correctly.....
Never mind, the thought was there!

This is a great help, with the summer hols fast approaching. It is also guilt-free money saving, hopefully resulting in cheaper great days out for the whole family.

Thanks a lot, Petree!!

HI MARTIN!

1. Does the post have to have started in the stated month?

Generally yes, but exceptions where necessary can be made
2. I don't think you should allow votes for a certain month until the month is over. I agree the Boots post looks good but they're is a slight chance that someone post something better (ie. 75% off Boots (NOT!)) before the end of June.

Just to point out they are not votes, they are nominations. A post with just one nomination could beat one with 100. Ultimate I make the decision based on a variety of factors - of course lots of nominations helps, but it isnt the be all and end all


3. A SUGGESTION. I did canvas a bit for my post last month (polite) but only because I felt people didnt know about this. Can the moderators put reminder posts now and again on some of the boards.

To be honest reminder posts get swamped. However as I've noted you doing on someone else posts, i think the regulars will remind others anyway.


Anyway, great site,,but please change your pic it don't do u justice! haha

I think Petree's post(s) about theme park places was very informative and I believe all those who "missed out" on the Boots saga got their 50% off in the end so although FunkyMum had a great "spot" I would like to nominate Petree for this thread: http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=Travel;action=display;num=1086657603

How many people took advantage of the first 9 months and £50 offer from Halifax? Now, with one call you can get essentially the same 'new' card, and another 9 months.

If ever there was a deserved winner it is funkmum!
Finally got over £300 worth of boots stuff today for £150 - a massive thank you. Mind you I did have to persist with those lovely people at Boots CS - they were great too.

tight_wad_7

Definitely funkymum for the boots 50%
