    For anyone considering joining V M, TCB rates have increased again for the next 7 days (their rates change at midnight on Sunday). £220 for taking Full House package (it showed £231 just after midnight!) - Full House is £49 per month for 12 months plus £20 activation.

    £608 for 12 months, £388 after cashback, £32.33 per month (assuming TCB tracks and pays)

    If you pay line rental saver up front at £196, it takes another £32 off the total for the year, making it £29.67 per month.

    Now we need to decide if Mrs Anon signs up or we stay with BeeTee - looking at the small print (I should have read it before :o) we could face a £160 or £60 BeeTee cancellation fee even in the first 14 days. If it were the higher fee, that adds £13.33 per month ... which would mean I have had all this hassle for a saving of about £5 per month ... but wait, I would have one less TV box too, so I would still actually be worse off than if I had just accepted their derisory £48 retention offer :o.

    I really have lost my Elite mojo!

    It isn't £1 in M. It's 2 for £2, so the £1.24 price (for one) is as expected. It looks like it is still working - mix and match with A's Shades Kitchen Towels (2) worked over the weekend.
    I think this has changed slightly from being £1 in Morries but still a good comparison

    AvM

    1x ASDA Shades Decorated Kitchen Towels (2roll) £2.00 £1.24

    I think these. Buy in 2s for £4 A v £2 M. Also White worked if both are still working.
