    OMG I am very over excited, just logged onto OHs Topcashback which he uses occasionally and on his clicksnap page he has the Tesco 2 for £7 offer :T :j

    I have even screen shotted the page incase it vanishes on me.

    Please can I ask which are the 2 for £7 beers?

    we even went to mr t this afternoon and did a points/MOC shop and Mr T very kindly gave me a large conditional spend till spit (so I need to find some 3V giftcards tomorrow)
    Plus 2 small TPPs and a double points vouchers.
    Plus I have some £20 T giftvouchers from taking out house insurance with them :T
    And a few other mailing MOCs that are suitable for a T only shop eg the cheese MOCs-

    I am very over excited by this.

    (also noticed a free starbucks frap offer valid only yesterday for students only - drat missed it although how did you prove you were a student???)

    Don't get too excited. Both are for new users only. And the frappe was only for 200 people

    A neutron walked into a bar and ordered a large glass of (glitchy) red wine.
    Barman says......

    Something about 'there's no charge?' :o:D

    All back home now. 6 hour-ish wait for antibiotics that my GP could've prescribed me but couldn't be bothered to. :mad: :rotfl:

    A question everyone please.

    Sons shared house needs a vacuum. They have laminated floors downstairs in the kitchen and living room but the stairs, landings and bedrooms are carpeted, no dogs or cats but all 4 work in the outdoor industry so mud is involved :D

    They have tried freecyle but no joy and the cheapest they have seen was in Argos for £100 - everything is split 4 ways but even so they have had a lot of expense as its the 1st month

    I would quite willingly give them my Henry but its 27 years old and I am quite sentimentally attached to it and anyway there would be a problem getting it up to them - 2 trains and about an hour and a half :rotfl:

    So has anyone any suggestions for cheap but efficient vacuums pretty please?

    I bought a Vax for £24 reduced from £99 in Tesco a couple of weeks ago, I'm sure they were still on sale when I went in a couple of days ago...might be worth them having a look in there nearest Ts :)

    The vax vacuum I posted about earlier today has good reviews and I don't think you will get much cheaper! However, you have got to find one first! £99 RTC to £24

    Oh X Post :o

    Shows they are still out there though so definitely worth looking :)
