    If it's any help I claimed for my laptop last year, two months into a new insurance, they paid out exceptionally easily ( in fact I was shocked how easily) got a call from them to renew and it came in cheaper than last year.



    I fear they might not be quite so sympathetic with us...it was a rather large claim last time around and sadly we have quite a specialised policy because of specific items that most insurance companies wont touch...
    It woulsnt be so bad if the claims were because of something we did but a lightning strike and gales isnt something we can do a lot about


    I think I just hate weather!!!!

    4 x ASDA Chosen by You Ciabatta Loaf
    £3.12
    £1.00

    4 big, par baked ciabatta loaves for 67p:):)

    One month shelf life and can be frozen.
    well done squigs. i looked at that last night after you posted but wasnt sure if they would freeze well. Thanks for saying they do:D
    Sorry but where's the glitch ?

    And how do you make it 67p ?

    edit: I get that it compares to the wrong item but I make it 90p.
    well done AAU, i mean CoT ;)

    Yes my sums are wrong!:(

    I now make it 79p.

    £2-12 difference plus the 10%:)
    The 10% comes off the competitor price i.e. the £1 goes down to 90p

    So far today i've seen snow, sleet, rain, hail and glorious sunshine

    Just waiting for the thunder and lightening and I've had the full set!

    Can't wait for the summer, then we will all be moaning at how hot it is :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I know this does make sense but I would rather have a little of what I like:T as they say less is more;)



    understandable...however dont forget not to throw your empty hand cream tubes away...they tend to compete against eachother every now and again so you can trade one off against the other ...another good source for a free l'occtaine gift is the sunday mail who usually hook up quite frequently to offer a voucher for a free product.
    Last week it was a 70ml shower gel or body lotion


    Ive not bought a hand cream from them for several years but currently have I think 3 because of recent swap promotions etc

    Fab :T

    The locctaine page went live again earlier in the week- try having a look at the facebook l'occtaine thread from yesterday if you have not got yours yet.

    I used OHs facebook page and I got 2 more codes with different emails :T - they expire tomorrow so hopefully some left.
    Ive just used up 2 of the Nuetrogena hand creams which would have gone into the plastic recycling this weekend so I've bagged them and put them in my bag so I don't forget.

    Now here is the amusing thing I will be going to a city to a locctaine to collect hand cream and then directly across the same road I will be going to Crabtree to collect handcream :rotfl:

    I also had a look at the crabtree list to see if any on the list are also cities with JLs close by but I could not see any - maybe Edinburgh but maybe there are others?
    .
    But there are def a few places that have both Locctaine and Crabtree eg York which also has a picture and Piano is you have a code for a free drink as well :D

    I think we need one of those pie charts :)

    Actually I got that voucher in a newspaper on Tuesday - now have to think where I put it - wonder if its in date
