    So in theory 2 bottles or 6 bottles will still work out the same per bottle - either buy 2 and get the max M and M, buy six and your initial outlay is reduced, you will still get M and M points (less Match, same More), but overall your price per bottle will end up being the same?

    Have I got that right?

    Many thanks

    I worked it out (to the best of my limited maths ability) earlier and it's cheaper buying 6 IF their system does recognise the discount

    I can see exactly where you are coming from but it seems to be correct:
    Lots of people moaning about it here! :eek:

    So to add to the distress of not being able to have children, I also have to suffer the effects of menopause or pay a double charge prescription for around 30 years.

    am 22 with premature ovarian failure and have to take HRT to prevent osteoporosis. The prescription is £15+ due to it being oestrogen and progesterone.

    Some medicines have more than one active ingredient or more than one medicine per box - as is the case for many HRT medications - these are then classed as two separate medicines in one box, therefore you pay twice.



    Really doesn't seem fair!

    Agreed. I was put on the pill a couple of years back and they charged me per pack for a 3 month subscription as it was for 'medical reasons', yet if I wanted to use it for conceptive reasons it would've been free. I was so annoyed as I only ended up using 8 pills and it messed me up for about 4 months after :mad:

    For anyone considering doing EuroMillions by the new Direct Debit route (about blooming time!) to get £10 Q cashback (plus £3 if a new account), it isn't instantly set up - signing up today will mean your DD will be taken on 7th November and first draw 18th - 3 weeks away!

    If you do it anyway, got to be worth it to get £10 back. As I do two lines I am just wondering whether to set up separate DD for each line and if that would then qualify for 2x£10 DDs ... but wait, I also play Tuesday and Friday, so is that 4 DDs?

    What do you think? At a minimum, I can split the lines to one for me and one for Mrs Anon to get £23 cashback ;).

    Many thanks

    I had a very nice email from Tesco after seeing on 10 ways jump leads half price I bought then using click & collect for the first time so I went
    to Tesco to pick it up on Monday and they weren't there so when I got home I sent a nice email to Tesco saying how disappointed I was I had a reply today with an apology and they put the money back on my card so it ended up an even better bargain you can't get better than free.

    Doesn't make my hair look greasy and helps with frizz. Hth xx

    Awww thanks CJJ. You are a star. I think I might fetch some tomorrow. Would be perfect for my niece. I might pinch a bit too as I am trying to grow my hair but it's like a ball of frizz. :(:(


    Went into town today and saw a lot of FREE GIFTS WITH PURCHASES on posh makeup / skin care ranges including LANCOME (free gift worth £73 at Debenhams), ELIZABETH ARDEN (free gift worth £55 at House Of Fraser) and CLINIQUE (free Bonus Time at Debenhams). Perfect if you use these ranges anyway. Not so perfect if you don't as the prices are quite high. All the Xmas gift sets were out too in case anyone is looking for presents. House Of Fraser are currently giving away 5 points per £1 spent. Debenhams are giving away 750 points on a £50 spend.
