Dave - did you ever get your thermometer/probe that you ordered from Amazon for 90p? I ordered 2 & payment was taken, but not delivered yet.

Nope, but I ordered a few bits of tat, and only one has turned up as yet, still time.

I had a prostate check last year. I was OK with the intrusion with one hand on my shoulder I became more concerned when there was a hand on the other shoulder too.

Mine haven't arrived yet either. It is all coming from China so may take a few weeks.

I still don't know how some companies make money - postage must be more than the items and it is not as if I will be buying from them again.

Business news - H0mebase has been sold to restructuring company Hilco for £1.

Bunnings stores will be rebranded H0mebase.

2 years, £230 million written off to get rid :eek: with a chance of them getting dividends if the turnaround is successful.

Good morning everyone.

Its raining cats and dogs here this morning.

Hoping the weather changes again, as taking my parents to Wales, tonight for the week, need a change of scene after this weeks events, will do them a world of good.

This may be of interest. Tr4velodge have a 15% off voucher code on VC. Potentially 10% on TCB if they stack ...

I believe that the Chinese government pay for the postage in some way.

Just to confirm that last night the Nivea shower gel was still working, and the Fuel10k granola compared to T and M. Shoppmium have already confirmed my cashback :-). I did mess it up a bit and bought 12 shower gels, forgetting that only 10 would compare.
