I would be very interested in what you spend your BM on to get your next BM
I have been trying to get to Sainsburys all week with no success but today might be the day.

All I've got on the list so far is 3 things for Shopotize and TCB click snap - kettle chips brands ton beans, eat natural and chicken tonight.

The first 2 could go on a BM shop, possibly also the eat natural - but then I seem to think there was something else that compared well sainsbobs v Sada

Also sure I have a till spit for extra points for buying pet food ..

I think I need to get my sainsbobs pencil case out and start taking this seriously

Me too Sarah, I have the same incentive, half on mycoupons and half till spit. £40 is an annoying amount to have to spend, as I'd rather not buy ill-fitting clothes!

Been to T's for milk and cheap Kleenex as bogof ends Sunday. Nothing interesting to report (still no mags in mine) but priced Whiskas xmas stockings, still at 1.50 despite being on clearance shelf.

Just noticed that the Linen & Gardenia Plug-ins are no longer listed on a.com, and are showing as 'Item unavailable' if you reload an old order into your basket.


End of another good glitch ...

Yes, I noticed as well. Are there any other products that have mouth dropping comparisons?

Comfort, ariel, impulse sprays, then items from the mycoupons page for extra points - I only get items that are branded and compare, cb from shopitize/tcb/cos. it takes me about 20 mins back and forth with msm to write my list. I save all my points up for the Christmas double up. I use my con spend and bm to get to about 25 pounds (I never go over £40.50 lol) - then get approx. £5 back from cashback aquire about 2000 points. Sometimes I pick up a couple of things for my friend if I'm going so that makes it even cheaper for me lol

This is a mad idea but I am wondering if as well as selling you a cheap tumble dryer they will still mend the old one for free?
If so and you have space then the mended one could sit in your garage as an emergency spare.
Having spares of electricals if you have the space saves a lot of stress. We came back from holiday on Sunday to a dead microwave but I had a boxed new one sat on top of eldests child's wardrobe for about 5 years at least so that saved the day.

Also maybe you could sell the repaired old one on Amazon local or your local Freecycle page - maybe not get much but still might get something

Or even just put the repaired one on your local Freecycle or streetlife page

But the offer is unfortunately subject to the taking you old one away and the serial number matching that of the one you had contacted them about originally. Nice idea though.

Silvercar ..that's unusual that carbon monoxide going off

Now a friend of mine lives in council property and they have just installed

Carbon monoxide alarms and they have placed them about 1foot from ceiling

Now mine are electric ones but they are about 10 inches from the floor

Was wondering if you yours are near the ceiling or the floor

On the 2 I got it says to put them quite high up.

Just found this

Places within the Home
Every Floor of your Home

If your home has several levels, including basements and any attics that are used, then you will need detectors on each level.

The reason for this is that a dangerous build up of CO gas will often be trapped within a single level of your home. Your main living level might be quite safe, but you might go down to the basement only to receive a dangerous dose of Carbon Monoxide because you failed to have a detector there - don't make this mistake.

Near Bedrooms

As is the case with smoke detectors, you want your CO detectors to wake you during the night if something goes wrong. This means that the most important place is near your bedrooms.

I recommend that you have a carbon monoxide detector within 15 feet of each bedroom door, 10 feet is even better if you can afford more detectors. If two bedroom doors are 30 feet apart or less, then place one in the centre of the two. If however they are more than 30 feet apart you will need more than one detector.

Homes with attached Garages

If you have an enclosed garage directly attached to the home, then you should also place a detector within 10 feet of the internal door to your garage. If a motor vehicle is left running in the garage, then a dangerous level of Carbon Monoxide can quickly build up inside your home. You should also place a detector in any room situated directly above your garage.

Getting the Height Right
You must ensure you get your carbon monoxide detector installation height right. While some guides might recommend placing your detectors on the ceiling, I don't agree.

The specific gravity of Carbon Monoxide is 0.9657 (with normal air being 1.0), this means that it will float up towards the ceiling because it is lighter than regular air. However, when a build up of dangerous levels of CO gas is taking place, this is nearly always due to a heat source that is not burning its fuel correctly (motor vehicle exhaust fumes are an exception). This heated air can form a layer near your ceiling which can prevent the Carbon Monoxide from reaching a ceiling detector.

For this reason I strongly suggest that it is best to mount your detectors on the walls at least a couple of feet below the height of the ceiling. If your detector has a digital read-out, then I recommend placing it at about eye level so you can easily read it.

Places to Avoid


Most importantly you want to avoid false positive readings from your detectors. To ensure your alarm goes off only when needed, you should place your detectors at least 15 feet away from any fossil fuel burning appliances such as:

Gas powered Kitchen Stove/Oven
Heating Furnace
Fireplace
Carbon Monoxide Detectors are designed to work within certain tolerances for temperature and humidity. For this reason you must avoid placing your detectors in any locations such as:

Bathrooms
In Direct Sunlight
Close to Appliances that generate heat
Other places to avoid include:

Anywhere children can reach
Open windows or anywhere else there might be a strong draft
Behind curtains or any structure that might prevent Carbon Monoxide from reaching the senso
