Hi, If you are going to start doing your shop on line at tesco's you can usually get extra points code on the other thread. Ones like spend £50 get a 1000 points. I usually do 3 on lines shops over the quater and get 3000 points which are worth £120 in deals. All the best,

Thanks barnaby.. have just ordered £40 of days out vouchers to use at the west midlands safari park Planning on doing what we were going to do for Ash's birthday... get SIL to have K because she's too young to appreciate it and we're going to take Ash with MIL next saturday hopefully...
Thank you!!

My god, the kiddo took the hint.
Regarding your £10 a month fun fund, you need to get out, don't spend it on ten £1 t-shirts off the market, how about using it to get out and get some self-confidence, meet some other grownups, some colleges do free creches/benefits discounts and you have a husband who has his PS3 so can leave the kids with him guilt free.

You could do photoshop or cake decorating (nice little side earner) or get out and learn local history..

Actually not sure if you can be trusted to spend your £10 wisely so perhaps your groupies should have a vote every few months to decide where to send you/spend it...:rotfl:

You know I just cannot hold my tongue anymore so IA I apologise in advance.

BB you are rude, condescending and patronise IA at every given opportunity.

She is not a *kiddo* ~ she is a grown married woman with two children who is highly respected on these forums.
She has shown, not only by clearing the debt she has cleared but being the runner up in the comp that she is quite capable of *being trusted* to spend her money wisely.

Why you feel the need to constantly belittle her husband, her attitude and their relationship is beyond me but quite frankly its really not nice is it?

Perhaps her *groupies* could actually take that vote on where to send you!!

Probably fair. I was genuinely pleased to see she's off to the zoo though. A lot of it's tongue in cheek/devil's advocate though. If I thought she was a numb-nut I wouldn't bother. I wouldn't patronise her by avoiding sarcasm, and besides if someone questions or prods you it does make you more determined.... I'm not any nicer to any members of my family
Can't wait to see where you send me... please not Clapton :eek: or Corby :eek: or Hull :eek:

Well... I don't know what to say... :undecided:

Anyway... good news. SS came through for us and once the referral bonus goes in in a couple of days we'll have £145 in my virgin casinos account, PLUS the £50 cashback from topcashback :T
Going to sign up Ste as well so fingers crossed we get the same kind of return
Want to nip into town today to start asking about christmas temp jobs. Will mean that I won't get to see Ste as much in the run up to xmas but the money will really come in handy plus I can do evenings and weekends when Ste's at home to have the girls.
Have TONNES of experience in retail so it really shouldn't be too much of a problem.

:hello: Morning! I love this little wave hello logo.... isn't SS a genius, btw? :money: very cool.

Interesting but :eek: about the Christmas job....... I mean, Christmas!!! Christmas:rudolf: all of that... don't know if I can hack that yet.

I love the little 'undecided' logo :undecided too, tho yours had sweatdrops coming out from it, also very cool. BB sounds very scouse (or just very very very very [you get the idea] witty rather than funny. It rarely comes across well in the written word, espesh on the internet when none of us have actually met. My work partner is often like that, witty about stuff I'm just talking about, and sometimes I could hit him - well, I *do* hit him, lightly! If I'm enthusiastic about something, the last thing I want is some sarcastic wit undermining my passion and sense of fun or pleasure about what I'm saying. Its probably why I moved so far away from Liverpool..... , where its sort of compulsory.

Does that mean you will have £145 + £50 = £195 clear profit or do you have to minus the initial amount you paid? :eek: How long from you part with your money until you receive your money back with interest? Sorry for being nosey but I am intrigued. BTW please do not feel obliged to answer.

Good luck with the Christmas job hunting :xmassmile

U should have NO probs at all getting a job for Xmas, esp if u want evening/weekends (they're usually the hardest positions to fill!)

Maybe if u enjoy it, and they'll keep u on, it could be something u could continue after Xmas too, so u can have a little 'you' money
Good Luck

It'll be £145 that will go into our bank account once the referral money is clear.. plus £50 cashback to actual clear profit will be £140 once you've taken off our initial £55
Apparently it takes 48 hours for the referral bonus to be added and then however long it takes for it to clear into your bank account.. usually 5-7 working days I think. Then the cashback will take a couple months but will be just in time for xmas
