    Has the quidco competition finished now please ?
  • Morning Elite,

    Managed to get some birdies this morning when awake at 4am. :T:T

    Thanks to juju and Matty for the heads up on the SIPP. I invested for OH and now debating whether to put some in for me although I would have to pay tax so much less profit. Probably still worth it :):)

    Good Morning :wave:

    Been reading thread about elite using leather bags arnt these rather heavy before anything is put in them ?

    Unlike Kipling ones which are light ;)

    Also you wouldn't lose things with a Kipling because they could have there own pocket :cool:

    Well after my 120 on shopprize yesterday on bonus :) I only got 60 today :mad:

    Will be going mums in about 30 mins.
  • Good morning all, cloudy but dry here.

    And I'm still awake but struggling to keep eyes open :o. Been waiting for a reply from a friend about the Birdies. We're doing a tabletop sale in 4 weeks to donate the money to a Hedgehog Rescue Centre. They do such sterling work especially during the winter months with the many underweight hogs that they look after, keeping them warm so they don't hibernate. If an underweight hog hibernates it has less chance of survival.

    So, I've put 24 birds in my basket, as did she. I wonder how much we could charge for these? Any suggestions please?

    Good night Elite xx

    I reckon you could easily charge £3 for them, personally if I saw them for that price I would not buy, but considering that the little bottles are £1.25 each 3 for 2 in Wilkos that would be a good price for muggles to think they had a bargain. You could always put the price down later.

    It's not showing on mine now, and it did seem to be valentine themed.

    I use leather bags for durability, they last me ages. I have used cloth bags and they get tatty quickly. And you get plenty of leather bags that are organiser bags, I always use those and can always find my keys and phone etc very quickly. Yes they are heavy, but that is why I get shoulder bags!

    Thanks for this izzeyb.......another sleepless night?

    We have plasterer in at the minute and it's really disagreeing with me TM. Last night has to be the worst I have been in a long time. Hopefully my third cup of coffee might sort me out.

    Thank you Enterprise. Don't think I could cope with heavy bags :)
