As with previously, if I have missed a link you think would be good on the list please post on here or message me. Also if a link doesn't work anymore or an offer is no longer standing please flag it up by telling me in bold .

Then 16-22 Feb 2017


Camel camel camel is a great amazon price tracking tool here

Top cash back here is a cash back site where you get a percentage of cash back from what you buy when you shop with certain retailers. Just search the shop you want to buy something from in top cash back to see if there is a cash back offer and follow the link on the site to go to the website you want. You can then choose to have the cash back directly in your bank account or have various vouchers. I've managed about £100 in a year but many seem to accrue more maybe I don't buy enough, that's a good excuse if ever I've heard one . You have to earn something like £5 in cash back before they start sending you money. If you need insurance etc they can have great cash back offers. If you follow the link above it will earn me referral credit.

Quidco here is another cash back site like top cash back but has a different offering of shops. See info above.

Somehow I missed the original post about the shark beds so have ordered two for my jack Russell's. Not sure if they will fit but for £1.87 it's worth a try Smile

Electronicdischarge my one year old has a lost my name book its lovely but i dont get it out much its not hardback and he would ruin it! Last year they did a link where if someone bought one they could pass on their link and give someone else 15% off and if 3 people bought you got a free book (i got 2 free!) Do they still do that?

If anyone is thinking of getting a photo put on a canvas for a Xmas present I'd recommend Amazon. Cheap and I was really impressed with the quality of my one.

I'm out tomorrow and have told ds1 (17) he's not to go out and must answer the door as I'm expecting parcels 😊

My thomas bricks from Amazon just arrived. Very pleased with them.
The delivery driver couldn't speak English though.. He shouted at ds2 through the front window instead of knocking on the door.. He then pointed at the address label and then pointed at me saying "you". Shoved them at me and went again.. All very bizarre. Dread to think what he would have done if no body was home Hmm

I had two cape and mask sets arrive today. Couldn't fault the quality of one of them but the second cpe looked like it had been made in a hurry and the stitching had come undone in two different areas. I will fix it up so not a problem really but slightly disappointing. I bet they had a big rush to make them.

Anyone who likes the 'Gromit' figurines, there is a reduction on the Shaun the sheep team GB one, £25 down from £40, today only.
