    Morning all.
    I decided to do a fast day on Monday.. then scoffed for England. Decided to try again yesterday but it didn't happen. So third time lucky today :rotfl: I think I've put on 6lb in a month :eek: I'm a skinny whippet normally but seem to have acquired a pot belly through too much booze and chocolate.. oops!! :D


    A q for all you brain boxes (you there AAU?!).. The pomegreat super 8, buy 8 get 8 free.. when you enter the codes, does it give you vouchers or something back? I've entered one but it just says it's been banked.

    No idea. I haven't been doing that one :o:(

    Same here tiger. Not sure how how I will get through today I have been stuffing far too much sweet stuff over last month. I am expecting to hit a real low this afternoon through lack of sugar. Not even planned my meal for today yet. :o

    Was surprised when I weighed yesterday that I had only gone back up to my starting weight last year, think the couple of days while DD1 was in labour I didn't get time to snack. And obviously driving back and forth is less time to eat. :D

    Let's hope we both get through it today!!

    Sorry to quote myself but I'm now confused. I've just read the back of both the green redeem vouchers and the M&S instore ones and both say "can not be used with any other discount voucher"

    Am I being thick? (again)

    They probably say you have to spend £25 too ...but you don't ;)

    So are these okay covering older boilers then, as mine is quite an age? (heating boilers I mean ;) ) Is there any conditions they place ? TIA
    :(

    I suppose a lot depends on the make and type of boiler. but what have you got to lose by calling them and asking. mine is about 8 years old now, but only 6 years old when I joined them.

    Well, I never knew I was such a chatterbox.:)
    My friends all tell me I am a typically taciturn tyke.

    In fact, a couple of good friends bought me a t-shirt with this painting on it, a self-portrait by Salvator Rosa in 1640;
    2qnmu5j.jpg

    not because I look like the man (I wish!) but for the inscription at the bottom left, which they thought summed me up; it translates as
    "Be silent — unless what you are going to say is more important than silence"
    'It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.'

    Why am I tacked onto the end of the zippydooda list ???

    Is it a "rambling on sporadically in a demented way and not making a lot of sense" list :rotfl:

    Porridge time I think
    not my list, its cut and pasted from the gone page. I'm sure if it were quality you would be nearer the top ;)

    I'm often a bit slow when it comes to offers etc and am wondering about this Sun Perks thing ! I've had several emails from them offering Primark vouchers and now I've had one offering a £10 Tesco voucher if I sign up for a months trial at £1 - I know lots of you have signed up and would appreciate a bit of guidance.

    Am I right in thinking I have to sign up with a cc or dc and get the first month (and hopefully the coupon and other benefits) for just £1 ? Towards the end of the month I then cancel before they take out the following months £10 and, so long as I cancel after the first 7 days but before the end of the month it should be OK. Is it easy to cancel it? Any advice would be great.
