    When I got mine, I too registered online but I just got a free pack of pods ah well :(

    I don't know if a similar thing is made for a Tassimo, but I've got a Senseo and bought a little device from Amaz0n, less than £10, that you put your choice of ground coffee in then put it in the machine. It's way cheaper than buying the pods.

    Dusty - hope everything fil wise goes as smoothly as possible and that the prognosis is good.

    I had a letter for a mammogram
    of course, an appointment on a day I couldn't attend..
    rescheduled for another day

    then re-rescheduled so I can use my residents parking permit (valid after 3pm) and park for free!

  • Hiya! My first time to the weekly thread here, but am a veteran (if still a novice!) flybaby!

    I'm sure you get asked this often, so I apologise if this is always posted and replied to...but can we get a 'cheaper' version of the Flylady Purple Rags here in UK? What are they made of? Has anyone here bought the 'official' Flylady Purple Dusters, and found they're the best, or is there anything better?

    There's SO many testimonials about how wonderful they are, and while I know nothing can beat actually getting off your butt and using elbow grease, I would like to get some better cloths than the old (seriously ancient!) rags that I'm currently using!

    Thanks all! :)
