    Mhoc there was £10 off MS coats making a fleece £2.50, don't know if it's still live on yours.

    Sadly I found the email but its not live on my sparks now :mad:

    I have 3 of the ones we got last year - maroon and a black and one spare one - I even put a fleece under my winter coats :D

    I also checked OHs account and he has £6 off wys £30 on womens tops :)

    Hello mrs mac, hope your feeling better, yes that our view, but much as I like the winter look it's frustrating not getting my car out of the drive, every winter I say I need a Quattro but never get round to it:(
    Tyres are more important than 4-wheel drive.
    I can not recommend Vredestein Quatrac 5's enough. I did loads of research into tyres a few years ago, and these just ticked all the boxes. All season tyres so you dont have to change them in the summer, and they are the only all-season with the mountain symbol (needed in certain countries i the winter).
    They are amazing in the snow, and you dont have the inconvenience like you do of snow tyres of having to change them in the summer.

    Surely there's not much profit in that. I'm breaking the Dove etc up and using the items like body wash etc. and saving the 'better' / more popular gift sets for family and friends over the next year.

    Can't ever have enough of the stuff if you ask me :A

    That's amazing! Congrats.

    I'm with three who have free use abroad in certain countries, not sure if NZ is right but certainly worth looking :-)

    Yip i'm 3 too and allowed to use my data package out there for a month. I have a sneaky feeling that it is limited i.e. using it for a year!

    Just buy a sim when out there seems to be the easiest option; there was some good deals when I went.
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.
