    Good morning everyone.



    I made it my aunt years and years ago, but unfortunately she has passed away, so I have had it back, and she smoked a lot :rotfl: it is very heavy nicotined stained.

    I will give it a go soaking it and using WUL.

    Thanks


    The nicotine will just float out very very quickly.

    Use warm, not hot, water, and maybe something like Persil silk and wool liquid, or Woolite. Not too much, as you don't want loads of rinsing, the less time it spends in the water the better.

    No need to prepare for a big battle, it should be very easy and very quick. You'll soon see the water turn brown.

    Then let it dry naturally but as fast as possible, perhaps with a series of towels underneath it on the draining board, they will soak up the water from it.

    Good luck.

    Might be worth a try for the Asda receipts which were giving the 'techie wizard' message.

    I had two from 20th January and just tried them this morning (after using c.cleaner), a different browser (IE incognito) and both have now given the results :)

    .

    that worked, got a result, thank you...............
    BUT it now says I have already claimed the voucher which clearly I have not as the wizards never gave me a value before! Very frustrating as it is a decent one too!!:eek::eek:

    Do you have more than one account, as I had the wizard message it worked today but I was on wrong account. Switched account and printed it fine xxx

    Question pretty please.

    I did the Sunn Life insurance thing at the end of last year to get the amazone evoucher, all good.
    Is there a suitable gap I need to leave it before I do another - not Sunn life again but one of the others?
    Say 6 months maybe ...

    And what companies do I need to be on the look out for?

    On 10ways or suchlike last night someone had seen sent an Aviva email which gave them a £10 anazone - needless to say my account didn't have this offer.
    It did make me realise though that Aviva is not giving me any incentives any more. Very briefly when I first took the policy out I was getting a free Neros and then afterwards they had monthly prize draws but there is not even that now :(
    So my £5 a month is better spent elsewhere ...

    There is an MSE user that is maxing out on these. Sadly because he has a terminal illness he is doing it to get the payouts for his family, but he is scoring with the cashbacks and vouchers.

    Will try and find his post.

    May I ask, does anyone here make their own kefir? I’m taking goats milk kefir, but it’s relatively expensive.

    Can’t plan a thing recently :(

    Had unexpected trip to hospital last night, was in most of night. Now school has just phoned saying DD has been sick and needs collecting :(

    Hope all is well. Spring is just around the corner, I can smell it


    I had to buy an emergency pair of leggings yesterday as I was bursting out of my trousers yesterday :o annoyingly from S, shame it couldn't have waited until Friday really

    I did wonder whether they cranked up the prices on the petrol for the promotion but never remember to check - will have to find some comparisons...
