Jinny says (3rd July 2009): >>100 texts a month plus 100 phone minutes all for £8.50 on an 18 month contract ... from www.virginmobile.com but the difference is that you get a lot of choice of fancy phones, with up to 5 mega pixel camera, and slider phones. My 14 year old son tells me this is the best deal around at the moment, which is good enough for me (who just wants to make and receive phone calls) oh - and they all have an inbuilt answer phone and do text messages! |

Carol says (18th June 2009): >>Glad to hear you news Jeanie. You should start an "advice/tips" page! My old wives tale (which is really helpful for a breastfeeding mum) is to keep a cabbage in your fridge and place the leaves inside the bra you are wearing (this soothes things when milk comes in and you are uncomfortable - especially in the first few weeks. I have eight grandchildren (oldest 17 years) so have picked up these type of tips over the years. Best wishes Carol |

doreen says (15th June 2009): >>The Directory of Mobile Phone numbers goes live next week. All numbers including those belonging to children will be open to cold calling. To remove your number go here. http://www.118800.co.uk/removeme/remove-me.html. (you will be sent a 5 digit message to your mobile to input. ***Jeanie Says*** Hi Doreen. It is worth reading the Frequently Asked Question http://www.118800.co.uk/faqs.html It looks like they do not give out your number but contact you to ask you if you would like to be contacted by the person enquiring after your number. They make a charge of £1 to the person trying to contact you. They also say 'Our policy is not to include anyone in the directory who isn’t 18 years of age. However where a parent has given their mobile phone to a child to use, we are unable to identify this unless the parent informs us.' |
|
A-M says (18th June 2009): >>Hi Jeannie, How worried should we be about this? Is it worth requesting that our details are removed? ***Jeanie Says*** I am not an expert on this but I don't think I will have my details removed - yet. If I start to get unsolicited calls I might remove it then. But it might even be a useful service to find people we have lost touch with. |

Jeanette says (10th June 2009): >>This was passed to me and please pass it to everyone you know so that they do not fall for this scam. At about 8pm on Saturday evening I found a card that had been put through the letterbox. It came from a company called Network Link Courier and claimed that they had tried to deliver a package at 4.16 pm. At that time, everyone was in the house and no-one heard the doorbell. It also claimed that there would be a `Redelivery Charge' of £2.20 and that we should call the numbers on the card with `your debit/credit card handy to settle the balance'. I believe this is a scam for the following reasons: 1. No one heard or saw anything at the indicated time. 2. I have tried dialling both of the telephone numbers, one a landline, one a mobile, and they have both rung out. No answering machine or voicemail. 3. I have done an internet search for the company name and found nothing. 4. I accidentally put a coffee cup on the card, and the ink has run. It looks like it was printed on an inkjet printer, and not professionally printed. 5. Their depot is in SW20, far too far away to go and pick it up. 6. Their request for a Redelivery Charge. I have not heard of other courier companies asking for this. 7. No one is expecting a package. If I had managed to get through I would have asked who the package was from. I suspect this is a ruse to obtain credit card details, with the obvious implications. If anyone else has received one of these cards, I strongly recommend that you send it on to Scambusters who are a division of the Office of Fair Trading. Thanks |
|
Phil says (13th June 2009): >>The usual scam on this type of card is that the telephone numbers are on re-direct or are premium and calling back can cost £30 or so....make sure you look at your telephone bill as soon as possible. And never never phone these people back! |

Yesterday evening, I took a bunch of vouchers that were due to expire at the end of this month and swopped them for double up wine vouchers (you do this at customer services). You can use these on wines already on offer e.g. a bottle of wine usual price £9.99 on offer for 2 for £10. You use your double up voucher so you pay only £2.50 per bottle less 5% if you get 6 or more! Fab! Jax |

| Kenwood Chef Bargain |
|
Lisa says (18th May 2009): >>Hi Jeanie This might be of interest to some people. I have long lusted after a Nigella-style KitchenAid, but by golly they are expensive. And when looking on Amazon the KitchenAid gets consistently poor 1 star and 2 star reviews. Okay so its not as pretty, but the Kenwood Chef Classic KM336 Kitchen Machine wipes the floor with its 4 star and mostly 5 star reviews. The RRP is £229.99 – so that’s already about a hundred quid cheaper than the £340.00 KitchenAid – but Amazon are offering it for £139.00, so that’s a 40% saving of £90.99. The proof of the pudding, this time, is in the price! Kind regards Lisa http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000Q7ZCFK |

Is this the one you meant? http://www.dooyoo.co.uk/internet-sites/madaboutbargains-co-uk/1236833/ If it isn't, could you send me the link please? |

Definitely a bargain! Hope this one is useful ***Jeanie says*** Thanks for that one Becky, I am not sure if it is instore only or if you can buy online, I will try on Wednesday morning.

| BBC REQUEST |
|
BBC says (26th March 2009): >>Hi I have been looking at your website - what a fabulous source of information. I think it would be a great place for us to let people know about a programme we are making. I wondered if you might be able to post something your site for us or email your clients? The information is below: BBC2 is making a programme with Mary Portas - presenter of "Mary Queen of Shops" - about the British high street and how shopping habits are changing to cope with the economic downturn. They would like to hear from anyone who has a story to tell: ARE you a family who has tightened the purse strings and changed your shopping patterns to save some money? HAVE you mastered the art of finding a bargain and would like to share some of your tricks? OR are you a self confessed shopoholic who is feeling the pinch? How ever you have been affected - contact Jessica at: jessica.stoddart@bbc.co.uk or on 07949 182 865. I think your site probably has lots of savvy people visiting it who are determined to save money, online has become such an important part in the changing role of shopping and I would love to hear some of your clients views. All the best Jessica |

I so look forward to receiving your emails each week and have certainly recommended your website to my friends who are hunting down bargains. Keep up the fantastic work! On a different note - I can remember you mentioned Darren who performed at your daughters wedding. I actually hired him as Elvis at our School Fete last year and he was fantastic as well as a really nice guy. It sounded like a great wedding. Kind regards Margaret ***Jeanie Says*** Thank you so much for your kind words Margaret. It's lovely to get such wonderful feedback from all the bargain hunters out there. For those of you who don't know who Darren is, he and his wife perfomed at my daughter's wedding in September. You can check him out at www.theultimatetribute.co.uk |

It is really annoying when you need to call a 0870 national rate number or an 0845 local rate when we should be given opportunity to call for nothing. site www.saynoto0870.com will often give numbers than you can call for free thus reducing your phone bill. I can now call my telephone banking without being charged for my call. Worth checking for an alternative before dialing that chargeable number. |

I got a Hamster cage for my daughter from here free and it was in perfect condition. The great thing about the site is it helps the landfills so you are doing your bit for the environment too! |

Jeanette says (7th November 2007): >>I have had loads of calls today from 0845 6853000, it is a scam as you can see from below it will cost you £2.50 per minite if you except them, so heres what has been said about them. "Got an automated call three times in quick succession today "you have received a reverse charge call, press X to accept the call", no details of who it was from, their number or how much it would cost. Looking up the call costs it seems like accepting it costs a min. of 2.50. Is this a new scam to extract money from your phone account." So if you want to stop these calls you can try registering with TPS on 0800 398893. Hope this helps some people out there, good luck Jeanette ***Jeanie Says*** This appears to be genuine, a friend of mine has received one of these calls. The TPS is the Telephone Preference Service and you can also register online at www.tpsonline.org.uk |

Jan says (20th October 2006): >>Have you heard of the www.freecycle.org Each area throughout the country has their own site which you can register with. The idea is that you offer goods for free which you no longer need but don't just want to bin. If you see an item that you want then you e mail the person giving it away and they decide who to give it to. We have just got 2 free mountain bikes from someone. |
