    I think there is proof there that some will buy anything if you say it is reduced.

    Canon 7D body only £624.99 (apparently a 11% reduction) is twice the price it is at SLR hut on normal price.

    Even if they say it is a good price make sure you know before hand what a good price is for the item in question.
    I started with nothing and I am proud to say I still have most of it left.

    Thanks for that I'll have a look.

    The redesign is the Platinum Drinkwell, http://www.amazon.co.uk/PetSafe-Drinkwell-Platinum-Pet-Fountain/dp/B004ZPARQ8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1416930717&sr=8-1&keywords=drinkwell+platinum , it is still plastic though. :(

    Thank you for the link :) I'm trying to work out what is new about it? It looks very much like the platinum fountain I bought a couple of years ago.

    I read the reviews for the ceramic one, it still appears to have a few plastic parts: http://www.amazon.co.uk/PetSafe-Drinkwell-Ceramic-Avalon-Fountain/dp/B00DNULFBW/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

    I wonder if it is even possible to make it without plastic? Since they need a pump to move the water? Oh well.

    Bet you could get a pump directly from Pet Safe, they sell them on the US site: http://store.petsafe.net/drinkwell-platinum-replacement-pump

    Might not be cost effective though :/
    So so SO tired of being ripped off, and mislead
    Hope sharing saves some pain.

    Couldn't agree more. Some real cons coming up! They're definitely interspersed with some good deals, but do your research before the deal comes up. The 15 minute timer is such a trick as it puts real pressure on you and doesn't leave you time to research after the deal goes live.
    You bowl like your mother. Unless of course she bowls well, in which case you bowl nothing like her <3 Big Bang Theory :)

    Can't go wrong with a screwed up piece of paper :D Especially if it has catnip inside ;)
    Absolutely. I save the brown paper Amazon stuff their delivery boxes with so I can make her "new" toys every few days with that. And her favourite is strips about 1" wide and 1ft long cut from the cardboard boxes :rotfl:

    That's a good price for such a tall one :) Mine is looking pretty sad now, it's all fluffy and the string is moving downwards. I am going to bookmark that for later, thanks :)

    You're welcome! We've only had the posts since Saturday but they seem typical quality for scratching posts - we're happy with them and a better price than Pets at Home! A couple of reviewers say it broke after a few months but we've taken a chance. Our cat isn't very rough with his scratching posts.

    We've only had our kitty (2.5 years old and 4.7kg) for three weeks and he has also acquired both of these:

    Yeah I research stuff I might want before the deal goes live, and then set myself a maximum price. If the deal price is above that, then sorry Amazon, no sale :D

    SLR hut price for the body only is £639.99, so Amazon deal is cheaper, but not quite the reduction I was looking for so might hold out to see if I can get a better deal elsewhere. Still I suppose if you are looking for a saving, £15 is better than nothing at all.

    That's a beautiful cat tree :) Nothing wrong with having a #spoiltkitty :D lucky puss.

    I wish I had space for something like that. I am planning to build a ramp to the ceiling with some high shelves instead.

    Thanks for the info about the discount code, that is very good to know :)

    To see the new one you have to click on the new version button, but I can only see a slight difference in design.

  • Got to say I'm really disappoined this year so far - bought myself a new duvet set (boring alert) today but nothing else. Some of the deals are not really deals at all.

    I've had the odd occasion when a good film has come up but then I've realised its the blu-ray version not the DVD one. Which is annoying.

    Hoping it picks up tomorrow as there's nothing on my list tonight either. :(
