Well yeah, it seems I was gloating about that too quickly — I found out today that I can’t get it because…well…some technical reason about the exchange I am on not being able to handle it or something…I don’t know, all I do know is that I am not getting my super duper killer deal on a years super fast broadband and will now have to stick with my old ISP.

Oh well :(

It costs just £9.79 per month, which is already less than half of what I am paying now — but that’s not where it ends, they have a promotion on at the moment where you get your first 3 months free.

So 9 x 9.79 = £88.11. Compared to the 12 x £19.99 = 239.88 I am paying now I am sure you can see why I was tempted.

But still that’s not it, until the end of the month Quidco, a cashback site I use, are offering a whopping £70 cashback on all new sign ups making the total for a year of upto 20mb speed and unlimited download broadband just £18.11 — less than one month on my current ISP.

Crazy, huh?

Like I say I am not moving because I am unhappy with my host, so lets just hope I don’t live to regret moving for a bargain!

I love buying me things :)

Using my uber bargain hunting skills I now have the following winging it’s way to me — a leather belt, a dress, a bolero and a bracelet and watch set.

All for just £8.99.

Hurrah for free gifts (the bracelet and watch set) and £15 off vouchers :)

I just ordered these Weight Watchers scales from Tesco Direct, how exciting. I have had my eye on them for ages, but around £40 including delivery seemed excessive so I restrained myself.

Today they dropped in price to £29.99, there is a £5 off code kicking around, I arranged to get them collected to save on delivery cost, I remembered I could use my mums advantage card to get her 10% staff discount and I went through Quidco for an additional 7% off — total cost = Under £20. Now that’s what I call a bargain, my skills astound even myself hehe

The scales I currently use are rubbish, they are so temperamental that you can step on them and weigh x.x one minute, step straight back on and you’ve gained or lost as much as 2 lbs and they eat up batteries like no ones business. These babies are meant to be more precise, they measure in 0.1lb increments, and also measure BMI, body fat and body water and use a lithium battery!

Can’t wait to get them, my only fear is…as we know different scales can give you different read outs…what if these have me a few pounds higher than the current ones? I’ll be distraught, I work hard to lose every pound I lose!
