    Just to add that if you're doing a C&C, it says to bring valid ID along to the collection (never done it before so I don't know if they actually check this, maybe someone else can confirm?)

    I don't know if you can 'get away' with multiple accounts in same name?

    I did see that, thanks. However, they don't know/care what's in the packages, and I've done multiple Direct orders before with not so much as a blink from the staff. I'm not going to go overboard, but I think more than 1 should be ok (but don't quote me on it!). Also, you have something like 14 days to collect, so it's not difficult for me to go in on different days with different order numbers if needs be.

    I'm off to invigilate GSCE's and A levels this afternoon and promise to be kind to all the students as I always am - its a very stressful time for them and their parents!

    The majority just get their heads down and write non stop whilst a few dont really want to be there and distract the others that do. They are the ones that I weed out - why spoil someone elses future?

    You buy preorder instore. Pick up the boxes for the games, ps3, xbox or whatever, go to checkout, pay £5 for each one, get a preorder slip, a tillspit, collect 500 points. Points go on your account 48hrs after purchase.Good if you have ahem 'a few' clubcard accounts. Don't go too mad though, points have been removed in the past if they think you're taking the p.

    Hi,
    Can I ask a bit more about this please? I wouldn't actually want the game so can I get my £5 back later? Sorry if it's already been answered.

    Also, Evangeline, wanted to say I sympathise with your job situation. A friend of mine recently had a similar problem. She used to come in early to complete extra paperwork and then had Friday afternoons off so she did all housework etc then. They changed her job and made her do the five days at the times they wanted. It is unfortunately legal as they get round it by changing job title and specifications so effectively your old job doesn't exist! Such a shame when loyalty isn't recognised/rewarded. Hope you are able to resolve it.

    Please try not to stand over 1 person too long (unless they're being disruptive), it used to really put me off having someone stood behind me and reading my work over my shoulder!

    I have to ask, after seeing it mentioned on mock the week, do you ever play games with the other invigilators to pass the time, like Pac Man? :rotfl:

    Good morning everyone.




    Is this Aloe vera gel good then?? My friend has just started selling Forever Living Pure Aloe stuff. My DS is 14 and suffers with irritable bowel, and the docs are saying they cannot treat him until he is 16, but she has suggested I try some of this liquid stuff, that is recommended for it, anybody heard of it??

    Neabirrac great pics.

    I tried the liquid aloe vera when I was in my teens for the same reason. I think it helped a bit, but stopped working after a few months. Also, it tasted VILE, even when added to orange juice it was still a case of 'hold your nose and down it'! It's got to be worth a try though, it's an awful condition and doesn't get taken seriously enough if you ask me. I'd also HIGHLY recommend seeing another doctor, as refusing to treat him at that age is totally unfair, and I can't see why that would be the case. Obviously I'm not a doctor so there could be a reason, but it's worth asking for a second opinion at least.

    Great idea - but if you are thinking about it then BOOK NOW! I looked at my local Halfords which is on a shopping park and its 2 hours on a Wednesday morning over 4 weeks and there are only 35 places left :eek:
