Apologies for any confusion caused this morning. We were testing some new offers and accidently made it visible to a wider group than planned. A very simple case of human error, but we are very sorry - we know it disappointed a few early risers. We have a great freebie coming later today though, so keep your eyes on the app!

Claire this was yesterday and gliche is over I had posted it has not worked but I could not count to 10

Afternoon all! Counting down the minutes until 5.30, then got to rush home (via Halfords, thanks for whoever posted about deals yesterday, sorry I can't remember who , but I got a picnic table with chairs attached for £15!). Panic stations parents are coming to stay tomorrow, and hubby didn't think to use his free evening yesterday to even put a wash on Just hoping I can hide the stashes effectively, my mum has a habit of looking in all my hiding locations :eek:

You put a donation (all online) towards the cost of the transportation and I would rather be doing this than paying full price for wrapping paper.

Just had a bright idea - I have some old big AA road map books. If I take pages out and lay them out, sellotape to a suitable size so they into a large enough oblong -should be big enough to wrap - not very Christmassy but they would still look very exciting ...

I'd send an e-mail to John Lewis and ask if they can help .. obv. highlighting the quality of their products and offering to post a picture on their Facebook page.

:D:D

I wouldn't worry about wrapping paper being Christmassy to be honest, most of the children don't receive the boxes at Christmas, it can be throughout the year, and a lot of them aren't even Christian so won't know what is Christmassy and what isn't. You can get ready-made boxes that the charity provide, but they'll charge for them. I guess it depends whether buying a ready-coloured box is cheaper than buying expensive wrapping paper?

I don't think JL would get involved though, as many companies don't want to be seen representing any religious charity.

At least they have been quick to apologise....Shopitize could learn from COS...the way they have handled to Mout offer is more than disappointing.

I'm in right moany mood today...

Just had a letter from our solicitor concerning the purchase we are making and gas safety certificates.
We queried that the latest certificate stated there were carbon monoxide monitors in the property,although when we viewed we couldnt find them.

It's not a legal requirement yet to have them in rented accommodation(that doesnt meet certain conditions) but it is advisable ...they arn't hugely expensive and can be installed easily,so we will once we take ownership
...so we asked for clarification from the seller who now quite rightly agrees no there are none.

Why then does an accredited Gas engineer complete a required document for rental and suggest there is...poor workmanship from someone who should be adopting better practices me thinks!
Now I wonder if the rest of the said gas inspection was completed with the same due care and attention....

Off the soapbox....sorry.

that would be my concern. if you have a copy of the certificate, is there any sort of contact number. as i would complain and ask the question i have highlighted

an interesting idea - I've been wrapping presents in plain brown paper since March and they do look very elegant - eldest son ran off with my last good roll of birthday paper

I really like the idea of decorating my own paper and doing potato printing - I really miss doing make and do and arts and crafts when our gang were little

I use brown paper & tie butterfly buttons on from eBay
