    Are they any serums that are 3 for £10 online? Therefore, buy 3 at 30p each, with fillers, and have comp. of £10 vs competitor's price for 3 if any competitor is cheap enough. If you can even find three in the same store:rotfl:. Or, if it's 2 for £4 online, maybe buy two and £4 vs elsewhere. Depends on difference to the competitor that you'd get back and if that more than covers the cost of the fillers - otherwise if there are items you were already going to get versus that competitor, then you don't need to have your serum refund paying for those but can legitimately say you would have got them anyway. Indeed may be one item fewer now needed to the eight and could potentially pay or be got for free if there is any mbuy online that is much more expensive obviously than 30p each.

    Today is damp :o

    Holiday tick list going down, found a couple of beakers, cotton buds, Andrews liver salts (just in case) cheapy paperbacks & a peg.
    My friends are panicky about losing their luggage so I've typed out an A5 with who we are (individually), flying with, from, date, time, hotel address, flights back. So everyone can put theirs in the front pocket of suitcase :D

    My motto is take a brolly - it won't rain ;)

    When I travel with someone (long haul mainly)we put a set of clothes (read that as mainly underwear) in each other's case /bag in case either of our luggage goes astray. You guys know who I frequently travel with imagine if they had a rake through my case, women's clothes and.....huge boxers :eek: :rotfl::rotfl:
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.

    Not that keen on direct debits, as previously when with npower they had more money built up in my electric account than I did in my current account!

    Afternoon all! Just rushing in and out to say that if you see your electric account start to build up, you can adjust your direct debit amount online via your BG account or over the phone, and if you give regular meter readings then they may suggest that it's adjusted anyway. HTH.

    Only 2 more days before a week off work and 4 nights in Tenerife, can't wait!! I'd say this thread is going to be quiet next week, but sod's law says there'll be a mega-glitch just when loads of people are away! Hope the sunshine is spreading, off to make the most of it for half an hour before getting back to the grindstone.

    I think I am missing the plot here - would you mind explaining how this works for current customers ?

    I had an email yesterday, British Gas Rewards, click the link to activate.

    There are new offers every so often, previous was a discount at Dunelm, free chocolates, etc. but missed that one.

    Cant remember if its something I signed up to or if its automatically linked to your email?

    edit. I have read the email again, I think it is because my account is linked to nectar, hth.

    Mum (86) had a fall on Sunday. She has compression fracture of a vertebrae in her spine. It will be along road back to any level of recovery.
    Sorry, not sure why I am telling you this, as everyone has enough of their own problems, but just felt the need to ""talk".
