Hmm - I wonder if they did a credit search - I normally restrict credit searches to 4 evenly spread over the year and look for at least £100 value in whatever offer I am taking up (stoozing credit card, bank account switch etc). Something to bear in mind?

It was this deal. Yes, they do a credit check, but not a big deal if it is only once in a while.

You should be able to get the unit fully discounted to free, so just the 30 day contract, and then call Three the next day to cancel under cooling off

Evening all, if anyone is passing Mr Shoes its worth checking the clearance section. Have been into two stores recently and found some heavily discounted items
i.e http://www.boots.com/soap-and-glory-bright-and-beautiful-6-in-1-energising-radiance-serum-10197015
was down to £1.25 and still went through as buy one get one half price.

Nice find!

If you find rtc shampoo there is a coupon for 100 points wyb 2 shampoo in their recent coupon mailing.

I bet it’s even worse trying to figure it all out as an employer

Yes, it really is.

When you include things like Students Loan repayments, Auto Enrollment Pensions, Attachment of Earnings and other fines and Court orders, constant surveys from the Office for National Statistics, you actually can't do it yourself, and have to pay specialist companies so adding more overhead to businesses.

Sometimes I wonder why I do it, rather than just get a job working for a big company.

Hi well I don t know really it’s for my mifi which I use when out and about . I don’t watch films with it it’s mainly to get Wi-fi for o2 but sometimes I forget to switch it off so would it still use up the data ?

Should be fine for just that, so long as you remember to turn it off.

But with the free SIM if you run out of data it is no harm, it is PAYG so there is no need to put money on it. Get a second SIM, and if the first runs out of data switch to the second !

Happy new year...

After a Xmas break I'm back. And still pondering the AP thing. Can't get hold of a phone that it works on without buying one.

Are people still getting decent prizes?

Also, if anyone is booking travelodge there is 50% off on Friday and Sunday stays on their site. Just got a family room for 18 quid in half term.

Lost £20 of APG vouchers, they were showing expire 06/01 and I had planned on using them tonight to place an order. Now I'm not sure whether to ring and complain and risk flagging my account or just take the hit. What would the Elite do?

I wouldnt but i want a quiet life:o

yes I went to B & M - 2 sets of silver tree baubles and silver wire bauble hangers (useful also for plants ) - 30p - happy enough with that. I would have liked wrapping paper, if only some for wrapping Christmas shoe boxes - might have another look over the weekend .

Eldest child got Christmas tree shaped choc ices from Iceland for 10p for a box of 3

Take the hit it will only highlight your account, could then start looking back at your previous orders and apgs. Not worth loosing an account over.
