3 "Charity" jute shopping bags for £10 with free postage.

[STRIKE]Are folk daft?[/STRIKE] No, folk ARE daft.
Read into it and they donate 50p per bag sold, so £1.50 to charity, wonder if there is a handling fee?

I can get jute bags from a local manufacturer, 10 for £3 + vat 36p each, so in theory I can sell the same, cost £1.08, postage £2.90, charity donation DOUBLE what they are doing £3.00, total £6.98 + 50ish % profit for the same £10 or do as they do and make almost 100% profit

supplier http://www.eosc.co.uk/176-sale-shop I am sure if you search you could find one nearer to you.

Why do fools falls for the "charity" items, like this and xmas cards, cut out the profiteer, buy cheap and donate to charity. Don't even start me on CHaritymUGGERS and the overpaid CEO who get paid for supposedly doing charity work.
Ranty over..
coughee day tomorrow.

That was a major consideration with my brother Bubbs....in the end he decided not to be told timescales but would deal with his changing health in in own way....
It made it quite difficult for us as the family as actually he was very happy for us to ask the medical staff all the things he didnt want to know...its just he didnt want us to tell him either.

It is such a difficult time for all involved

I'm ok thanks.

I've not really been shopping since I got back from hols.Only buying things that I need using wombles.Not wombling much either.I've still got too many and don't need the glitchy stuff or a load of fillers.

I like to keep mine under £10 a well.I put enough wombles through the same store and don't want to call attention to myself by doing multiple shops.I do like the mullers though:rotfl::rotfl:

Longs you are ok i very rarely get wombles:(

same here - or at least the 9p seems to have tracked but the 9p and the £5 are in the outside column and Ive marked the day on the calendar.

I am now wondering wether it use OHs account and do another order - best to do a c clean to start with possibly ...

also check your emails for one from B & Q called

Brighten up your home with the unique Farrow & Ball look

inside will be a voucher with a barcode to get a free Farrow and ball 100ml tester pot valid until 18/06/2017 with your B & Q club card at the checkout.

It looks like a generic barcode - mine ends in 040101 - does everyone have the same barcode?
If so I imagine if you have a B&Q card and the coupon it should work - possibly

B & Q also sent me a £2 off wys £10 email - its a pity that these 2 wont work together in the same shop basket.

On the website these seem sample pots to be £4.50 each :eek: - just got to figure out what colour and where I could use is...
