    A little tip for RSH vouchers.

    Use them as soon as possible. I used the last one (travelodge code?) almost as soon as I got it and it went through fine, within a week the codes were being removed from people's account due to "abuse". RSH is so well known now that there is a real risk of codes being oversupplied and then withdrawn.

    :j:j this is fab, well done.


    I will be glad when he is past this stage aswell, he is 13 with an attitude and only want really expensive clothes, well he didnt get them, we went to primarni, he only managed 3 t shirts though in XS and no shorts that fitted, he is too big for the oldest in the childs range and the XS are too big round the legs as he is really tall but very thin.

    We managed to get some other bits from matalan. He needs another growth spurt pretty quick!!!!! It is such an awkward age.

    My DS2 has this problem as well, he's really skinny and has no bum to hold his trousers up :D add to that the fact he struggles with buttons and zips :( I have to buy him trousers and jeans with those pull in tabs in them and they're not easy to find in his size. Luckily we have a Gap and Next outlets nearby where I can pick them up at a reasonable price.
    Thankfully though he isn't fussy, when left to his own devices we see some very amusing matching of clothes :rotfl::rotfl:

    Or better still, DON'T BOTHER.

    It sounds like an ace deal, but I just don't like how they cancelled everyone's Travelodge codes. If someone genuinely was a Travelodge client and they got given the code, I doubt they would have been happy with RSH if they swiped their £10 off of them.

    PS. What a smashing day! :D

    The travelodge is a bit o a farce

    I didnt know to use straight away and mine got canceled. Then they said they'd re-issue if you filled out a form. Then they emailed to say they wouldn't whilst posting on fb that they would!!

    I emailed to try and get an answer today and have been told they should be re-instated within a week, but only to those who used the validation link. Time will tell

    Don't apologise, I asked enough questions when I decided to try it :)

    I picked up a cheapy tumbler in morries, cut down a bamboo stick, put a hole in the ball (polystyrene from hobbycraft), I'd previously used some pink hairspray to colour the stick.

    I melted down 3 bars of sp chocolate to hold the stick in the pot and covered the ball with icing sugar.

    I did the sweetie sticking, putting it back in the fridge every now and again to harden off the icing.

    I filled the rest of the tumbler up with more sweets.

    Took about 7 standard size bags of haribos in the end

    It is possible to do it much more Mse than I did :o

    HTH :)

    Thanks for this QOC.

    Could any of you guys use a bottle of St. moriz fake tan? I won a 200ml bottle in 'medium' in the glamour mag comp. no idea why I entered it I'm far too pale. Must have been a comping haze.

    Free to a good home, PM me :)

    One for the blokes. If you cant be bothered to watch it all the way through, watch it from 1:40. Quite amazing, and a cracking idea!!

    I've lost out on a code a couple of times mimi, but i still think it's worth giving it a go.
    The trouble is a lot have people have abused it by guessing codes and using code generators.
