    Good morning all, cloudy one here, but hoping to get the lawns mowed. First thing I have to do though is get down the post office and pick up my OH's birthday present while he is out!

    Can I take a sander back to Lidl my bf doesn't like it
    Can't find receipt tho but it's on bank statement
    Just says Lidl tho n not sander
    Thanks x

    I have honestly never tried taking anything back to Lidl without a receipt, but they are normally their own make do it should be worth a try, after all the worst they can do is say no! Just make sure you take the bank statement with you, it will be a transaction at the right time and covering at least the cost of the sander.
    Morning all. Another day off that I can't get any allotment stuff done because of the weather :mad:

    My rent has gone up for the first time in 10 years :eek: having figured out exactly how much rent we've paid in that time, I'm now starting to save to buy a house :eek: the rent is fixed for 4 years so I've got 4 years to get a good deposit up together. Completely from scratch. If I thought I was frugal before... :rotfl:

    The rental costs really scare me. A house smaller than ours but on the same cul-de-sac is currently being rented out for two and a half times what we used to pay for our mortgage :eek: Next door is also rented out for a bit more but is done privately. I often wonder how on earth someone can afford to rent a decent house!
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Morning peeps. :)

    Ta - I've printed off a couple this morning.

    I think I am getting mine from Waitrose - just have to think of another few pounds of things I can get to get my shop up to £10 ...nothing exciting on the cashback lists ...

    Thinking now about try me free offers

    Did I see somewhere that SuperSavvyMe do cashback rather than coupons? If I did, has anyone details please as mine is only showing coupons. Thanks

    Think it depends where you live, locally rent is about 3% of property value.so not much more than mortgage interest even with super low rates.

    Local Tesco still had a few easter eggs yesterday not selling at 50% off. Anyone know when they might reduce further?
    I think....

    My printer goes offline regularly drives me mad.
    Go to devices in your settings select printer and click search printer. Mine normally refresh and then continues to print.

    Morning peeps.
    curl girl with a space - even though there is no space in my cupboard!!!
