    Without being rude to him, what exactly is he? Seems an odd shape for a tea cosy, is he an oven glove?

    Shame that they are not included in the Privilege club discount scheme though.

    The worst advertised scheme EVER. I only found out about it when I gave a lift to a disabled lady and she thought it was for registered disabled only! Went to the info desk and they said it is for anyone!
    Talk to me about broadband please folks. I've been with Virgin forever but it's becoming slow and unreliable, struggling even to stream from now TV with no other devices being used. And of course, I'm paying too much!

    Anyone recommend anything different or anyone to avoid?

    Phone them up and they may upgrade your router.

    Good evening Elite.
    Hoping everyone is warm, happy and well. Hugs to those not so.

    My £200 worth of points are spent. I have some new baking trays, several new outfits from the sale, some posh wine and fizz and a hand blender so I have no excuse not to make soup from the whoopsied veg in my freezer! Thanks to all those who helped in the points hunt throughout the year. I paid 90p cash.

    Kettle's on...

    We went with NOW Broadband, went through TCB, and cashback tracked quickly. The transaction was faultless. I have to say, I was concerned as I did not want to lose the internet for any period of time, but my concerns were unnecessary, as everything went so smoothly. We now have a better speed, and its cheaper per month.
    I will not hesitate to look around again after this 1 year is up.

    Most recently went with SSE with 150 cashback paid after 3 months and no min term contract. Next will probably be the new bt black Friday deal via qc and hope they put prices up so I can switch again for free once the cashback/mastercard have come through.
    I think....

    Give it a try but I think this will be excluded from quidco double the difference, they even told me a standard % could not be matched because there were variable rates depending on the amount spent. Also, make sure you get screenshots as they will try everything to wriggle out of it.
