    No spend day here, but have printed out and added up my debenham's vouchers, courtesy of quidco... £114.69 to spend:j:j:j
    Thought all I needed (as opposed to wanted :money:) was a slow cooker/ crockpot. Then reality struck, decorating/plastering (if that blinking plasterer ever gets back to us:eek:)
    our sitting room....... going to need new curtains and lamps and lots of other things!!

    Both - we are both suffering from old age and decrepitude - the house and myself :rotfl:

    Mhoc, I really feel the cold but I couldn't wear as many layers as you.

    Every year I buy Damart long-sleeve thermal tops and I wear one as a base layer. I do find the thermal effects wear off, presumably the effect of constant washing, so this year's purchases are very very warming and good for those big freeze days we just had, last year's are still very effective for temps above freezing but under 10 degrees, and the 2016 ones are much warmer than an average long-sleeve t-shirt and will take me nicely into Spring.

    Earlier years had to be binned due to eventually laddering but it took many years for this to happen, they just get thinner and thinner till they give up.

    I can hand-wash one at night and it will dry by morning if left on a hanger in the shower, so I am never without one and it's like having a second skin.

    Sorry to bang on :o but it might be worth trying. :)

    I find that with You Gov or NewVista, I get close to cash out and have to wait days if not weeks for another survey.

    Afternoon peeps.

    Being a member of the elite was trying to save the £5/£6. But not sure it's worth the effort.
    Also if you fill the form online it looks like you have to send a virtual picture with the application :(

    Do you mean the one on top ? They used to have one at the bottom too years ago and delicious coffee flavoured cream ones .:( Also the chocolate was formed in swirls from bottom to top not like now where they are moulded to look like that.

    For anyone who goes to costa, a little tip - ask for a medium flat white (they only do small), but Ive done this a few times now and they offer to top it up to medium with milk.
    Flat white is £2.60 at mine minus 25p for reusable cup, so £2.35 for medium coffee.

    Oh heck ... my V M internet and tv have gone off :eek:.

    So much for negotiating a new deal :o.

    This approach (cancel, order elsewhere) has worked for others but not for me :(.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you
