Dust is not a concern. Everything will need cleaning anyway, and anything that needs protecting is packaged.



I know, our local supermarkets rarely put them out.

Might take a trip down Costco, but often their boxes are just too big.

I seriously expected bankers boxes to be cheaper, they are only cardboard!

My local Homebase has loads at the moment, where they are clearing out the old stock that they won't be selling anymore.

Thanks, this helps explain. My points are from Amex (Diamond) although I am in the process of figuring out how many there are... and trying to transfer to the BAE. ON HFP there is a few good ways of getting more points, my main thoughts were do I get another points card or cash back. I think I will get the points...and hopefully one day have a nice trip x



Lots of people. It has some rather nice features, but I just hate shopping there it is so bity.



I googled... and now understand... I really thought it was a gimmick of an invisible toy! lol

If you are looking for your next card, don't forget cashback from TCB or Q as there is invariably something to be had.

Amex Preferred Gold is normally good for a welcome bonus (you can have as points or Amazon), there is a spend target. It is free for the first year, then CANCEL otherwise a £100+ fee. Buying Amex giftcards during their no postage/no fee Christmas promo proved a useful route if you were struggling to hit the spend target . I get one periodically and give Mrs Anon the supplementary card. If you are organised enough (and there is a significant OH to work with) you can then get them to sign up (in my case) Mrs Anon with a supplementary card for me which covers the next 12 months (I believe you could go back and get the welcome bonus again after 6 months).

If you are not paying a fee on an Amex, it is worth keeping them open just for the offers including Shopsmall which has run for the past few years (in early December if I recall?) - last year it was £10 spend, £5 account credit - an places like Onestop were included .

Good morning all, beautiful sunny day here

Currently looking for cheap bankers boxes, or perhaps something a little larger, I have been quite shocked at the prices. We need to put a batch of DDs stuff in the attic but the boxes she has put stuff in are just too large and too heavy to get up there (and back down) comfortably. Any ideas please?

We use banana boxes as they are very strong and stack well. We got ours from M though other stores will likely have them too - if you ask them they will generally tell you when is the best time to call in.

Has anyone got any suggestions ideas on where to transfer existing cash ISA (instant access) to? Just shopping around at the moment following Santan rates plummeting and seeing if there are any that I have missed before applying.

Many thanks

thank you, that link takes me a page declaring there is an issue with the security certificate on the site!

Daniel posted about deleting part of the URL, but that went over my head!
I ended up with a page full of numbers etc & no idea what to do with them.
Yes............ I do need spoon feeding!! x
