There are so many people out there who will tell you

What you have to do is turn around and say, "watch me"!!
CommentAuthorTinsel
Not my bargain, but...
Offer at Tesco online;
The £50 Suit Offer** Look good for less in an F&F suit. For just £50 you can now buy a suit, complete with shirt and shoes. It's the easy way to look the business. PLUS £10 off when you spend over £40. Just enter AW4C at the online clothing checkout.

Biggest bargin.... My save the date magnets from VP..... Free because their system broke and charged me a ridiculous amount for delivery so I emailed a complaint and they gave me a full refund and 30 magnets complimentary. Just shows sometimes it pays to have a moan! xxx

Well i just so happen to come across this website selling their pockefold invites for 75% off so i thought not all our guests are going to know that our invites are going to be different so i bought the following: This is what i got: 19 x A6 Pocketfold Wallet: White Quartz Shimmer = £7.98 12 x Large Square Pocketfold; White Quartz Shimmer = £5.76 3 x Large Square Pocketfold; Ice White Shimmer = £1.44 8 x Small Square Pocketfold; White Quartz Shimmer = £3.36
and had to pay £3.99 postage as well so not bad

I managed to get MOB present, 3 piece watch necklace and bracelet set RRP Argos £35, i got it for £6 from bay of e brand new. I originally saw my dress for £800, after searching in different shops and dressmakers, finally found one ex display on on FB £150. (i have it now :D ) My shoes were £5 from bay of e, but since such time my feet have decided to grow half an inch, so they no longer fit, (anyone know where i can get royal blue closed toe court shoes....cheap lemme know lol) Managed to get my basque from bay of e yesterday for £10 still with tags on from La Senza £35.

CommentAuthorniksibum
kath - we are having fishbowls too! They look soo pretty! :)
Our biggest bargain so far is our photographer, gave us such a good price seeing as he's a friends ex (they parted on good-ish terms luckily) £400 for the WHOLE day, using him and his current gf (also a photographer). So we saved about £600 in comparison to the ones we were originally looking at!
Got engaged 13.8.2010, Greece.

CommentAuthorClarabella
I might be getting my shoes for free??? I got them delivered on thursday and as soon as i opened them up i noticed a dirty mark on them so emailed the company and told them as i had noticed that they had gone up in price slightly so they sent me an email back saying that they are sending me another pair free of charge but i dont know if im meant to send the dirty pair back or not???? So going to keep them and see if they say anything and if they do then i'll send them back lol
