    I love the tent too....great find Snap.
    I'm sadly not a camper so no use for me and I can only think of one person who I know who would like it...but she would feel too embarrassed to accept a gift of that price....

    these are the times that glitching and finding things cheaply really work against you...my friend would never believe that it only cost £20 even though it does!

    Works the other way too, Mr TS often tells his family how I manage to get things for a penny or near as so sometimes I feel I have to say (jokingly) I did pay real money for this. :eek:

    Especially if it's boxes of chocolates, I might have said before I got some thorntons chocs £2 on boxing day and gifted them same day, fast forward to May and his aunt phones to say they had gone mouldy. :o And I might want to check any I had stored, see my reputation precedes me. :eek: I did have one box left and mine were fine. :D Must have been where she kept them, under her bed apparently. :rotfl:

    He already has a black box and his dad has agreed, but he wants to add us which will save him over £400. I just know it will cause family problems if we don't agree, but may well cause family and/or financial problems if we do agree! DH is very against it so we're unlikely to be agreeing, it just feels wrong and no good can come of it for us.
    Why cant his dad add himself?

    Quick Question, I have a £5 off a £50 spend from Mr T. How does it work with BG? I know it used to work on pre multi discounts, what does it do with BG? Before or after total?

    Many thanks in advance.

    Afraid it's after BG, once the hit total to pay it will need to be £50 or more to be able to use the £5 off.

    You can then use other vouchers though, I have a £4 off £30 so will use it first with my Orchard vouchers to reduce my spend further. :)

    Meant to say, picked up the Noah's Ark from Argos today.

    To all those that know the size of it, please try to imagine me riding home with it strapped to my pannier on my bike :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Oh that has made me giggle, I could hardly see over the box when I was carrying it back to the car. ;)
