    LOL, part of my deliberated mis spelling Yodafone/O3/Nerd?Costalot etc.

    I have no idea what you mean about free Nerd today AND tomorrow :A:A :whistle:

    Free postage, buy only one. BUT you can go back and buy another and another, again and again :rotfl:

    Probably a pricing error, shhhhhhh, I haven't told anyone else ;)

    Get it by 4 - 7 December.

    Thank you, have acquired a couple of packs for Christmas stockings.

    One that I've come across for Barr Lemonade fans:

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07DQQ4NXZ/

    Add 5 cases.

    Then add 2 of these (or something of similar value):

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B075LDW45C

    Total = £30.19 but it's double discounting. So total to pay is around £16.50 plus a couple of quid to charity. :D

    Combine with the the J20 offer and a new account to get the biggest saving.

    So for an outlay of £25ish you can potentially get the following delivered:

    - 60 cans of J2O
    - 120 cans of Barr Lemonade
    - 2 cans of Pringles
    - a few quid given to charity :T

    Plus you'll get HUGE cardboard boxes delivered (very strong) so you can play cardboard fortress games with the litte'uns. :rotfl:

    So tempting but we would never get through that amount :eek:

    As for the cardboard boxes, it is relatively small ones we need, we put them in the cage with Castor and Pollux and they destroy them, they prefer them to any toy we get them :rotfl::rotfl:

    Morning everyone.

    50 pages to catch up on...:eek:

    Taken from the dark side:

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07D3YY378/

    Buy 5 packs = £30 and free delivery for Prime customers.

    Deducts 20% and then a further £10 off making the total for 5 cases @ £14. Even cheaper if you open an Amazon account, sign up to 30 free Prime trial and top up £25 instore to get a free fiver.

    Don't forget to give to charity too - I go via this link to give 5% to Macmillan: https://shop.macmillan.org.uk/amazon.html

    Other charities affiliated with Amazon out there too.

    Hope everyone has a fantabulous day.

    Thanks for this - I went for it but I added on 2 sets of Butchers cat food at £2.60 each to take me to just over £20. I still have the spend £20 and get £5 back on OHs Amex card.
    The only thing wrong with this is that I seemed to have been charged an extra 99p for postage as if there was a second box - I am doubting myself now - not sure how to check.

    Also I checked my Amex and on the pending list it just says £1 so I think Amazon must wait until dispatch before claiming the full amount (so no auto email from Amex re the £5 yet).
    When I did an order yesterday using my amex card the full amount it showing as pending so I got the automatic email from Amex regarding the £5 - patience is needed

    Order Summary
    Items: £35.20
    Postage & Packing: £0.00
    Amazon Pantry Delivery: £3.98
    Total: £39.18
    Promotion Applied: -£18.99
    Order Total: £20.19

    I had a camelcamelcamel alert for this - cheapest now is £5.35 with free delivery - might be a nice gift - you could include some of the free no17 nail varnishes

    Scholl Velvet Electronic Nail Care System, Blue

    https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B00Z9RTTX8

    Not sure about that link

    I had it on my saved list for ages but Eldest child took me for a pedicure and gel varnish just before we went away and I now have shiny pink toes which will probably last for months.

    Mrs Ids, sorry to hear about your burglary.
    Your grandmother's bracelet that they stole, was it gold because if so that alone would probably cost £350 to replace. What kind of value was your husband's watch? I'd go to a local jeweller or if you want to pm me the pics I'm going to work shortly I can get a rough valuation for you.
    As someone mentioned it will probably not affect your premium next year.
    Plus replacing the damaged doors etc.
    If your jeweller is good he'll get you a good amount back for your jewellery.
    We all pay our insurance and then they get away with not paying out because they charge such a high excess.
    Worth bearing in mind for next year, if you go onto comparethemarket type of site you can keep editing your quote, you'll be surprised that lowering your excess doesn't always affect your premium we've had years where our voluntary excess is nil.
    Good luck

    Thank you Dil, not bothered about claiming for the watch/ jewellry., it was sentimental though -silver and the watch tag heure however they left the case with the serial number. Our excess is £350 and our fence needs reparing which they damaged. Our patio doir was smashed in too. Not sure if its worth claiming
