    How is everyone doing with their Christmas shopping, I haven't started any yet, which is soooo unusual for me, usually finished by now. I just got no idea on what to get anyone including my 2 children. They are 14 and 10 and they have absolutely no idea on what they want for a change, the youngest, still has birthday and Christmas money from last year that he has saved, because he doesn't really want or need anything. He is not an indoors child, he likes playing outside with his scooter and footballs, and he has hundreds of balls.

    Really need some inspiration to get started and buying family presents, but no ideas at all coming to me.

    You 're supposed to buy a new handset and top up with £10

    I think it's reward account credit rather than call time credit


    You can use reward credit for call time credit as well. It tells you here what you can use it on

    he he, now how long do you think it would take me, averaging 30 mins in each store? About a week to get to you? The cakes may be stale by then :D

    Right, I'm off home to put those yogs in the fridge and make a sandwich. Anyone want to guess my filling of choice? (no rude answers please!) I'll post on my return :D :rotfl:

    My guess is yogurt and courgette :D

    Has a bidder been binned off? Has someone withdrawn their bid?

    Oh ok, I must have got it wrong.

    I got a different take on exchanging clothes at T today, the girl said because I'd lost the receipt, I couldn't get a fresh receipt for the exchange.

    I may go back next week and try, just hope the prices are the same and the items haven't gone in the sale or anything.

    Thats why i exchange for something that costs a little more ;)

    He did have an email off eBay but never said why . I didn t know you could withdraw your bid. Pest
