    Thank you all, we had a lovely weekend, and I had a great birthday.

    Slightly confusing though, clocks an hour ahead on Friday, then on Sunday, then back an hour today.

    My body clock is shouting at me to go to bed so I shall be off.

    night all.

    Yes it certainly is. Thank goodness that we have stay mobile with the AA & she can have a hire car for 3 days:)


    Hi bubbs, yes she loves the Juke and said can she have one, erm no:eek: Hubby has found a reasonably priced Hyundai I10 so she will have to make do with that. It will be much more economical than the Fiesta was. Picking it up tomorrow and then taking it down to Essex on thursday so she will have it ready for when the hire car goes back on friday:)

    That was quick work but I'm sure she'll be happy having her own 4 wheels again no matter what xx

    Anyone around who understands Sky+ boxes please?

    DS4 has vertualy no reception in his flat for his tv, so nothing to watch. Just wondered if he could use one of our Sky+ boxes, without the card, and use as a freeview and would he necessarily get a better picture please? Xx

    I definitely spent one in Iceland in February so think it's worth looking into.
    Debenhams also take them.

    It's probably not too late curly:)

    It's still working I think

    Ooh thanks - I will give it a try next week. :D

    I do have to say I am quite enjoying this sort of 'alternative economy' I've got going on with all the vouchers and giftcards. Partly because being off work has meant I only get SSP for 2 weeks in the next payroll :o so I need to be careful, but also because spending them has zero impact on the bank account and it keeps me very focused on the amount I want to spend - most of my cards are £10 values, so it helps me stick tightly to that.

    Yes it had to be quick while hubby is on his days off and she can't be without a car because of her placements. It wouldn't be her first choice but she will just have to have what she is given. She has googled it and said it looks ok, followed by you do know that I don't have any money to pay for it don't you? erm yes we do:D

    It's not a discount code. It's a product code which you put in the search box and add to your order
