not sneaky BUT check out the 3 for £10 bottles of wine at tesco.I bought 6 @ full price of £8.99 on offer at 3 for £10 so with the discount for buying 6 paid just £17.30 for £54 worth of wine :):)

I've been with them for a few years now and have had no problems, I've already claimed £50 worth of vouchers with them, and have another £35 credit with them. The only problem I find is that I can't always log into my account. This usually sorts itself out within a few days.

Perhaps your problems occured because you used the same computer?

ASDA do the same.The wines in their 3 for £10 offer change, and they usually have some which normally sell at about £8 per bottle. If you are going to get a discount, get the best and make it a big one! Not having much money is no excuse to be poor.

I have also been with them for years and claimed lots of vouchers which is why I am so annoyed with them for not replying to my emails,have also always used the same computer?????.....does not explain why my son 300 miles away has also had his account closed!

..not sure if anyone else uses this trick, but works for me better than the expensive cleaning sponges you can buy and it's so much easier!

Get one of the exfoliating gloves - you should be able to get them from 99p shop two or three for 99p...rub some shower gel or soap on the glove. I usually stuff the glove with the small pieces of soap that are left and cannot really be used anymore..

Rub the shower panels with the glove - you will get into all wee corners where you can't get in with a sponge or a brush...and rinse. Hey presto! All soap scum is gone and you have clean glass panels...

...how clean is your house?

Use the cheapo baby wipes to clean glass panels on display cabinets, then just wipe dry with a towel. Much cheaper than buying glass cleaner, and a great shine.

Hi SueP19 and welcome

We recently threw all our cardboard boxes away - the ones the hifi originally came in. I saved all the plastic bags and tie wraps from inside and there were some huge bits of sponge that I can cut up and do odd jobs with

Didn't know what to do with the polystyrene though. The boxes were mostly Freecycled

You could put the polystyrene in the bottom of large plant pots, saves using as much compost.
