I have a scrap book with my tickets in and gig stuff like confetti and plectrums and set lists in

Ah that's fab, wish I'd thought to have done that!

I'm hoping I'll be able to take my DD to gigs sometime, she does like her music so it bodes well for the future I do miss going, but there's just not the same opportunities up here which is crap, it was so much easier in the central belt. I'll be sure to keep her tickets and stuff when we do though

Quick question, hubby's xbox 360 died randomly the other day, it just went pop during the scary bit of Doctor Who. We suspect it might be the charger cable but have no way of testing it.

If anyone has had similar issues before, please let me know how you resolved it! The charger is £15 and we couldn't return it to Amazon and get our money back if the actual console is dead.

Alternatively, if anyone has seen a good price for the Xbox 1 I'd be interested in hearing where, as that may have to be his new Christmas present! £350 is the best I've seen, with Fifa 15 :eek:

If u know any1 who works in T that u trust, they have 20% staff weekend this weekend but there was also a 10% extra voucher off xbox1 that they got meaning a xbox 1 console only is £229? Got told this by some 1 on techie dept today.

Evening all :wave:

Been busy busy busy and then a load of keys on my keyboard stopped working so not been able to reply. Have makeshift cheapo option of USB keyboard sat on top of laptop at the moment :rotfl:

Loved reading about all of the retro toys. I too had a pink snail keyper whilst my little sis had the swan Seem to remember hiding my sweeties in there.

Toploader was my first proper gig too QoC I saw them at the student union whilst I was at uni in Bristol.

They call this a bargain:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Elvive shampoo and conditioner 3 for £10.00 @ Boots

:rotfl::rotfl:

The Impulse "set" - I noticed it was £4 and allegedly worth £9!
:rotfl: Well... in effect, it has one small can of deodorant in it ("worth" 20p in my view as that's how much I'd pay for small cans like that, and using the Soft & Gentle from ages back as a guide) and a nail vanish (normal price of those, on their own, in stores is £1, so 10% cheaper than £1 = 90p). I make the total worth for the set as therefore about £1.10:rotfl:.

I know if you have a fancy dinner set, with all the plates present, that that is worth more than if you have a piece missing. The whole is worth more than the sum of the parts there. However, I do not agree that this situation is the same. Gift sets, for example, are often overpriced compared to the purchasing the items in them as individuals. Yet people place more value on receiving a set, with fancy packaging, than an individual shower gel and a deodorant for example. I think it's brand hypnosis to a degree again, as well as neurotypical snobbery about having, what is perceived as, a fancy set (and objectively I have no opinion on the matter about whether or not it is such a thing:rotfl: - FC discuss:D:rotfl::rotfl:). I place no premium whatsoever on material things - I suspect part of the appeal of a 'gift set' is emotional.

I'm glad I got mine for about 45 or 50p (including cost of fillers) but, yes, a Haribo a day counts as one of my five a day:rotfl:(not really!;)). I do "use" (eat) the Haribos so they aren't totally valueless!:D

Useful again in having a current trigger to help get two useful oils!

My concern about this kind offering by Mr A was more that the individual price of the JFs might go down from £9.99 and make the whole thing useless rather than the Impulses as such appearing. They worked tonight, but they might be on there in a few days - I think that double pound sign doesn't work as such, as they'll still I think appear on msm, when they do, sadly inevitable I feel, and may pick up the A mbuy at that point. Or - I think we've seen situations like this before (for example I think my very first post back in 2012:j), they might become a visible trigger, but might miss the mbuy in conjunction with the rest - and therefore everything full price but JFs £9.99 vs £6.00 M [x2] and Impulse £4.00 vs N/A. In effect reducing by one the number of fillers you'd need to buy. We'll need to see what this looks like, if/when it goes onto msm. (I think, from past experience, it might not appear for a number of days yet - although don't chance it, check each day to see it isn't there!):)

Any other elite want to confess their first ever gig?

Mine was The Cure when I was 14. I was a goth and no one I knew liked that music so I went on my own

Nivea Glowing Skin gift pack does not scan on MSL or A apps so a potential trigger in 2 for £8. Neither is £7.50 Radox Stress Relief (inc blue rubber duck) or the other two Radox.

Sorry if already known, not paying attention to gift sets.
