    Morning everyone.

    A minority reporting over on the dark side that they've got £10 promo on their PayPal accounts - some saying it's from the October promo when you made 10 separate transactions. I bought 10 x 1p items on ebay and had £10 off.

    Some big matches in the Premier League today and of course what will be a difficult game for Leicester City. :(

    Got a free bet with Sky Bet - put it on Utd to lose (sorry tweets) :o

    A little tip - join as many betting websites as you can which have cashback offers. I'm probably a member of 20 different betting sites thanks to cashback offers and have £1 in all accounts (to remain active). I get emailed 1 free bet offer every week from various sites - some are for £1 others up to £5. Managed to get 1 acca via a free bet and got £200 - literally money for nothing. :rotfl: I never bet my own money and always withdraw winnings. Do note that if you're not profitable for the company then your account may get gubbed but they usually lift this restriction after a year or so. As always, gamble responsibly or in my case make money risk free. :D

    Oh and a happy birthday to bubbs - you little hubba bubba thing-a-thong dong. :love:

    Karlie - what is the best way of contacting Amazon.
    I cant seem to find a live chat button but I know Ive used it before.

    I had some cushion pads delivered which were not the 'luxury' described, undersized and flat. The automated system has taken me though the returns process but no way if actually talking to amazon themselves.

    Also I ordered some of last nights chocolate bars which I know wont be as described. What is the process then when they arrive - how do I tell Amazon I have a misdescribed order?

    Thanks for the tips about subscribe and save :D

    Easier to do on a laptop/desktop computer.

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html

    Go down and select 'Need more help?', then select 'Contact Us' - from there select your order and the reason and then click on the chat option. You can email or ask for a phone call back but I find chat to be the best.

    Good luck with your free chocolate - just contact Amazon via chat and they'll sort it. Make sure items are sold and despatched by Amazon (not 3rd party sellers) - much easier to get 'problems' sorted.

    i am a happy lady

    i was endeavouring to reduce my stash of toiletries etc and struggling the friend who runs the fayre did not require much of my stuff this year

    i got some advice from another op and have contacted the council adult services they were not able to help but someone from their community section will call back

    i called the local care home and they sounded delighted they have patients who get no visitors. More importantly i can go and see the home and organise what best to give in

    also found a local homeless shelter that will take jumpers and jackets

    Wonderful

    i often take bags of toiletries to a local homeless and a women's' shelter. They are delighted with 'premium' (their words, not mine) brands as money is so tight, they usually get 'value' brands.
