    When is your order due to be delivered IA? Only the nappies are still on special offer 2moro, it ends 2moro I believe... so you could stock up on them if due to be delivered 2moro and get your free delivery.... and a bottle of wine as a treat! x
    Tomorrow between 10 and 12.... I'm too scared to change anything now! lol

    Just a thought, you have been talking about cashback sites etc. Do you do any online surveys? I got an e-mail from pinecone saying they are looking for people with children under 3 and a half. Just in case you are wondering I dont get anything for referring anyone I just thought you might be interested. They pay £4 for a survey (which you can have paid to paypal or receive in luncheon vouchers) I haven't had very many lately but its always good when I get one, I signed up for lots of survey sites but not all of them are worth while. Also for this one you need to find a banner on another web site to sign up.

    If you want me to forward the e-mail to you PM me your e-mail address.

    Ive had this a couple of times too - if you phone and complain they will credit you back for the item and the delivery charge too - then just alter your meal plan around to sneak it in.


    Don't forget to keep an eye on the vouchers boards for discounts - there was one the other week - £10 off a £25 shop - I bought bogof items that I'd use (shower gels, tinned toms etc) to the quide price of £25 - £3.99 for delivery (cheapest day) so once the bogofs came off it was a value of £12.50, minus the £10 for spending £25 took it to £2.50 so a grand total of £6.49 inc delivery for £25 worth of stuff.

    As for the £40 per week shopping budget - we manage that 8/10 weeks and it includes a bottle of wine or 2 a week or some cheapie beer for DH - granted we're not buying nappies but it's doable.

    when i phoned to complain they just said to the nearst store with the item and recipt and they would exchange it for a longer date this is why i dont use them any more

    I can't!! I've forgotten my user name and password! It was saved to be always logged in but since we formatted the pc it's wiped it and I don't know what it is!!! Lol

    If you go to Community on the ebay web-site you can search for a user, if you know the beginning of your user name it will give you near matches. E.g type in Immoral and you'll get Immoral_Angel, and ImmoralTart & etc. It's quite an odd search engine, so if you don't succeed the first time, try little variations. You surely can remember a bit of your user name???? Then I expect you can ask them to re-send your password to the logged e-mail address? Good luck, you don't want to lose your e-bay history.
