    Hi Everyone,

    I have been reading along for a few weeks and after the recent comments have decided to jump aboard. I hope you will be your usual welcoming selves.......

    I am recently retired, having worked for more than 40 years, so money is tighter than I would like. I have managed to get a couple of your glitchy things, and am looking forward to lots more in the future.

    I love the chat that goes on here, but probably will not have much to say that you would be interested in :o

    Hi and welcome, Im fairly new to here but I know everyone will love to here from you - even if it is rubbish- as the most of what I say is also rubbish, get a coffee and stick around x

    Think somewhere along line that's become a reality for the Elite.

    Me Economics teacher asked class how much of income roughly they spent each month.

    His face was :eek: when I said if I spent 30% I'd overspent :rotfl:

    I'm apparently an exception to the theories. ARF ... Would you like to meet my MSE buddies !!! :rotfl:

    Good Morning all :)

    Is there any way on a c&c order i can say that I dont want substitutions ?

    Yes, when placing your A order you progress through the screens as below

    checkout >

    evouchers >

    'review trolley' button and you change substitute options, just press 'select all' to turn all subs on and off or click each one you want separately.

    Love this, especially the bit where he says borrowing money is robbing your future self and the bit about queuing for phones.

    I thought that too. I got a new phone last Christmas so I could do the cash back apps. Original cost minus £13 after tcb and carohone cash back :rotfl:

    And probably £500 a year in shopping cash back. I wouldn't be seen dead these with a £40 a month contract but I did years ago. madness :mad:
