    Just busy looking at switching my dual fuel.
    On Quidco there is £60 odd cashback for SSE. If you go to sign up to their 2 Year Fix & Shop v2 tariff, you get a £100 love2shop voucher once services are switched, and its only £50 to get out of the tariff early, seems a no brainer to join that for a month or 2.
    Edit: Then you can submit a higher cash back claim as TCB is offering £69. (Well I could if the stupid site could see my transaction, as it wont let me submit it yet.)

    Just doing this myself but it is only giving me a £50 love2shop voucher

    Visited the new JL in Leeds today in the brand new shopping complex that opened recently.

    I've never seen such an ostentatious display of affluence. The marble floor alone was mind blowing and there were acres of it.....the Christmas decorations were unbelievable, so very very exclusive. I was gobsmacked and wondered how there could be such wealth with people sleeping homeless only yards away.:o

    It makes no sense:o

    I saw the flooring on the telly, and fell in love with it. Just need to find it on eBay for £5 a metre...lol.

    I totally agree about the disparity in wealth, sadly the extremely vulnerable are becoming increasingly vulnerable.

    It also annoys me that people who own/run companies can take large pay/bonus when the companies pension schemes have not maintained, and that there are people working full time, but still needing state benefits to be able to live.......... something very wrong.

    I am going to drinking.....:D

    I have a Little Christmas Bear who is enjoying these pictures of Mr Ted. He thinks he's got a new friend in the making :D

    I think Mr Ted has a bear in every port.
    I have fun staging photos and thought the Bear on the Stair was a bit of festive fun and my dgc love the photos too (although some might get a bit too riskee for them)

    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    May the odds be ever in your favour;)
