    Go for it Karma. Writing in French.... mmmnn - rather you than me! Struggled through my French O level and always get blank looks when I try to order a coffee! Hope you get it sorted.

    My grandparents used to do the newspaper thing! I struggled with it when I was 8 years old, I'm *so* not going there! :eek: :rotfl:

    Us too..there were 5 children, two adults and a variety of friends...we always ran out of loo roll. I can still remember embarassment of imprints as ink comes off:eek: I will say no more.........but it is softer than Izal, i hate that even more:rotfl:

    Okay, back in the real world :o I just got back from town,

    - have done the mystery shop.
    - been to the bank to get some coins from the piggy bank changed into actual cash.
    - picked up the bank magazine with *loads* of free competitions to enter, so I'll do that this afternoon, now I've opened up a "competitions" email address.
    - bought moisturiser at Boots using Advantage points. £4 saved! And looked at the card reader and had a free 75ml bottle of bath cream - thats a fiver going to the £10 a day challenge!
    - am doing free bingo as we speak - not as much of it as usual. Hmmm.
    - just sent the first lot of competition entries from my new account. Hurray! Off for a break now, Sainsbury Value chips - oh the joy of "working" from home!

    The free bingo went mad! I found the same number of games as usual, but had to log off a little while ago, it kept asking me to deposit, to the extent that I didn't have time to buy the freebie tickets before the deposit question popped up again. I think they're getting wise to us.

    Bonsoir! Must pop into Boots and check out the card machine, see if it gives me free bath cream too :) That sounds like a pain with the bingo, I'm not sure I can even be bothered trying... :o

    Yep, it looks lovely - bergamot orange and olive, v nice. The bingo, when its working, only takes seconds, I just keep it open in another window. I've realised I've forgotten to include the probiotic freebies on the July challenge, so I'm off again. How are you? [KC scuttles off to RS's thread...]
