Definitely recommend, I’m really impressed.redofromstart said:Worth a look then, thanks - I find cards one if the hardest things to buy online. The sizes are odd, or the card is too thin etc, and I don't like crass humour.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3 -
My downstairs neighbour buys her cards from the same company and is always pleased with them.Sun_Addict said:Forgot to say I’m really pleased with the cards I ordered from Whistlefish. The quality is top notch. I went through TCB then found a 20% off code so paid 66p per card. They took a while to arrive but definitely worth it.Glad to hear you saw your son and family today , I bet the GKs were delighted with their presents .Where are you off to this time on holiday SA ?Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.4 -

Morning happy Sunday.Finally got around to weighing myself this morning and was pleasantly surprised to find I weigh exactly the same as I did before Christmas. I would like to lose 7lbs by my holiday which is very do-able as it’s 3 months away yet.I didn’t realise until today that my FitOn app does live classes so have booked on to a yoga class at 4pm. I only have the free version which is sufficient for me. I’m more inclined to do a class if it’s booked in and live.I need to take the dog on the park later just one of many things on today’s list of jobs.It should be NSD 5 and I plan to cash out this week’s survey earnings later to add to my pot.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

Just finished the yoga. I’ve booked on to a few other classes in the week.In money dealings won a lucky dip on the lotto, cashed £14.23 out from QMee and had my monthly statement from 🐙 now down to £402 in credit.I used the code SPARKLE20 to get 20% off the cards and also went via TCB. The code is only valid until 17 January but I’m sure there’ll be others. I paid £11.50 for 12 cards including P&P.Made a batch of spiced carrot, swede and red lentil soup for work lunches. Having stir fry tonight.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

Good money stuff going on with you SA - and hurrah for being on holiday countdown as well - we're not away until later this year and it currently feels like an age away!
Resisting the temptation to go and look at cards as the last thing I need is anything else brought into the place before we move!
