    My new washing machine has arrived :j

    But it's currently in the middle of the kitchen because I don't know how far to open the tap and MG works in a dungeon :mad: YouTube and me are not friends right now because it's not telling me what I need to hear :rotfl:

    So folks, please help me regain my sanity and tell me how much I need to turn the tap on! It's a bog standard tap. There isn't an isolation valve thingy

    The correct ones are £10.95 so you're at the mercy of COS as to whether they pay or not. Worth a punt but as some will probably slip through, but others may not as history tells us.

    On a different note, yesterday I puchased 12 x bottles of wine and a yoghurt, nothing else. Claimed for the yoghurt only on COS, yet they also awarded £2 for Nivea moisturiser for men :T ;)

    They are half price in t's so just £5:)

    Evening all!

    MSE have compiled a list of free water fountains in airports, very useful if you've got an empty bottle to hand :D

    Cost might not be too bad in duty free, given you will be 'duty free' as you are travelling outside Europe!
    Went to Boston earlier this year 2 x 1litre bottles of sminoff ... £18... duty free.

    Had a look at the duty free site on the internet and cheapest laphroaig was something like £82:eek: I would love to be proved wrong:)

    The Visage are half price in T, not the plus C which are the ones on COS....unless it's specific to your store?

    If anyone is due to change their gas or electric and bulb is the cheapest supplier, please get in touch I may be able to help.

    I have just changed mine and they were the cheapest for my electric.
