    That's fine. Thanks for helping! I really want to get my sister a stash of gluten free snacks since the stuff she eats is very limited. Now if food companies can start making low carb goodies, then I would be able to have snacks for myself too. I don't think that's happeningg anytime soon though so I have to be content with using almond flour to bake lol.

    I've exchanged in store before. I had to take dd2 to hospital so a friend took my order in and some of the subs were rubbish! They'll only exchange non fresh obviously, but wasn't a problem for mine.

    Don't know if it makes a difference but when I exchanged they did it based on the price I paid not price matching. I.e. I bought two things for 3, they were subbed for two other things and price matched. I exchanged for other flavours but she made me pay the difference! Probably not right, but it didn't affect apg, and I wanted what I exchanged for and it was only 50p so I didn't quibble!
    just something to be aware of.

    Can't wait to hear what your cat brings home next. :D

    I had a tom cat who was partial to bringing me home presents from a boat yard I lived close to at the time. :eek:

    He was a funny thing I had to keep any dishcloths, sponges etc hidden in a cupboard at home otherwise he would grab them, often he would sneak as I opened the cupboard door and growl like a little dog as he pulled one out. :rotfl:

    Anyway he found a good supply of something similar at the boat yard, this stuff,

    Started off bringing brand new big cuts of it home, obviously had found where it was stored, my dad was over the moon for cleaning his car. Would get at least one piece a night if not 2 or 3. :o

    Reckon the yard thought someone was pinching it as these pieces started to get smaller and smaller as they obviously realised it was disappearing fast. :rotfl:

    Eventually it must have been locked away as we started to get used bits with fibreglass resin stuck to them. And he would even bring them home soaked in the pouring rain. :eek:

    One night I was really scared as I could hear something heavy being dragged across the bedroom floor. He had only brought one home with a bloomin heavy paint brush stuck inside. Frightened the life out of me. :rotfl:

    There's a 12gb one on amazon for £149.99 with Minecraft game, which actually works out £20 cheaper than just buying the console on its own from them!

    It's also the same price on tesco direct, on double up CC voucher offer, but no stock at the moment (presumably due to Black Friday craziness), so I'd put a stock alert on that if you're interested. I'd then go and buy some second hand games off eBay or game/cex rather than new, as they're a rip off full-price.

    If that's out of your budget, or he'll want a bigger hard drive (there's a 500gb model available), I'd suggest using Martin's local eBay deals mapper to find something local to you at a reasonable price. http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/shopping/local-ebay-deals/?_ga=1.146127356.959732059.1354993094
    I looked last night as a test and found lots at prices ranging from £6 to £50 currently, though of course the final selling price may be a heck of a lot higher than that, unless you can grab a bargain when no one else is looking :D

    I'm sure someone else will be along with some better options shortly, but hopefully it gets the ideas flowing!

    :T:T I love you both:D I have 2 bank accounts little used, now switched had thought of it but David you gave me the push,:T and Kylies old post helped ;)
    oh said rather than go down the credit route borrow the money from the emergency fund and buy the one he wants so gathering money to put in bank later today, So will be looking at the ones you suggested thanks Arthien :) plus ps4
    You all know we have had a rough time this year, the boys have never complained, and put up with my moods:p and have been totally supportive and helpful they work hard and deserve something nice so thanks to the wondeful elite they will have brilliant xmas pressies xxxxxxx
