The seventeen glitch does work after a bit a faffing. It would appear to only be working on the palettes that bubbs posted the image of which is a shame because I was go in to make up a little hamper as a raffle prize.
Edited to say i got it to work on concealer sticks too but I can't get it to work again, one order for dd, one order for hamper, never mind.
Edited a second time to say they accepted the order and then once I've checked it they have removed the wow tan free gift so it is only working on the palettes as I originally thought.

Morning all
The sun is still shining, hope it doesn't get too hot today though as I'm off into London shortly to see my friend running the marathon.

From April 2017 an allowance was introduced for miscellaneous income, upto £1000. Details here.

Interesting - I will have to read again a few times to make sense of this. If you made more than £1000 "profit" for either property or other miscellaneous earnings, is £1000 tax free and taken off your Total before the rest is taxed at your normal rate, or if you earn over £1000 does it all become taxable so another cliff edge? I have read it but still getting my head around it.

Many thanks

It's just worked again for me Di but it appears that your 2 items need to be the same?

Am I right in thinking that this will work better instore ie the till sees the cost of the tan at £5.99 and then you can get stuff free up to that amount.

I'm popping out for 10 to find out:D

Good morning.

A beautiful day here too. Dh is going to watch Bolton today it would appear that me getting him the Man Utd tickets for his birthday sparked an interest in watching football again.

One of his friends have offered Ed Sheran tickets for us to auction off towards my 3k :eek: target. Along with the Man U t shirt they are a couple of potential earners although I can't help thinking they may be a bit wasted at a pub quiz raffle. I'll await some inspiration for what to do with them.

Wow, what a great prize :T x

Good morning all, another glorious sunny day here.

Supposed to be down to 12 degrees by the end of the week though, which is just as well as I have to bring forward some major housework, was going to clean carpet when OH was away for the weekend, but really need to do it before we get the birds. It isn't the cleaning the carpet bit that is hard work, it is digging the furniture out of it and moving it :eek:

DH had booked the Hilton at docklands, for 3 nights, on arrival they asked if we wanted to up grade our room for an extra £50 a night, obviously we declined..I mentioned it was our 40th wedding anniversary treat so she upgraded us to a suite with separate lounge area and breakfast not bad for the original £89 per night that was paid.
Saturday was birthday party day for GS which was lovely
Sunday we had a meal in the hotel which had previously been booked via buyagift
The following evening we went on the complimentary ferry to canary wharf where we had a meal at zizzy with 50% off and the remainder paid by a gift card which expired at the end of the month
Tuesday we went to London bridge with the 2 GS, had free coffee at caf! rouge, then went back for lunch, the balance of the bill paid for via ap

We returned home Wednesday late afternoon, to then turn round and take DD the 1 hour round trip back to hers..shed been house sitting.
Thursday 100 mile round trip to take the car to a main Citroen dealer, we had to take 2 cars as they said the poorly car might have to stay in overninght- but they would let us know the outcome by 2pm,
