Nectar Card

Advantages: Lots of retailers to collect with
Disadvantages: Online points may not equal amount of cashback available elsewhere

...The nectar card is the loyalty card associated with Sainsbury's, however it has since branched out and is affiliated with many companies which allows for maximum point collecting! Let's start with the basics, you get 2 points per pound spent at Sainsburys or 1 point per litre of petrol bought at the Sainsbury's petrol garage. Each point accumulated is worth half a penny, so you need 2 points to equal 1 pence. If you redeem your points in store at Sainbury's then you will need minimum 500 points for £2.50 off o your shopping. Points need to be redeemed in increments of 500. Points can also be collected in other stores, for example Dolland and Aitchinson also give 2 points per pound, as do Homebase. As far as I am aware however, you cannot redeem your points against your total bills in these stores. Points can also be collected...

DMR -EZ48VEBK; at the price sold refurbished - awesome!

Advantages: The VEIRA link gives the Panasonic DMR the best picture qualities for products of it's kind.
Disadvantages: The connections liable to disturbanced by movement of the DMR; the handbook too complicated!

...Can't say they're 1000% perfect but not far short; the DMR -EZ48VEBK Reg 2 for the Waltham transmitter is little less than the perfect companion to any decent LCD / SKY - or PLASMA set-up (if you have the hackers for one): After being disappointed by several online retailers I managed to get a good deal from Amazon for my Recorder, so to find an Eddy's link on there was sorry but little short of amazing. I have been buying electical goods from Eddy's for nearly 35 years, so you won't get me writing anything but a cracking review; for this reason I give the DMR 4 stars. My only problem is the setting up cos I'm disabled but a neighbour helped me and in less than an hour the whole system was up and working along with the SKY box. Sadly since helping me with this, he has suddenly passed on and will be sadly missed; but the lasting...

Be.ez LArobe - Stylish protection for your Mac

Advantages: Stylish, with good lightweight protection
Disadvantages: Perhaps a little pricy

...knew exactly what I was going to spend it on. Now, as you'd expect, I'm a stylish kind of guy, so I was looking for something stylish and after hunting about a bit, I plumped for the Be.ez 13.3 LArobe (pictured above). I assume the Be.ez is pronounced 'be easy'. It looks good and ticked the boxes for the level of protection offered. I got mine from Amazon (of course, because of the voucher) and it cost me £19.38 inc Post and Packing. I reckon this is a tad pricey, for instance there are some available in the £5 region if you look, but neither is it the most expensive in class. Delivery was speedy; ordered on the Wednesday night, delivered on Saturday, registered post. The technical bit: - It's made out of "Low Resilience Polyurethane (LRPu)", black on the outside, and coloured on the inside. Mine is green on the inside, or "Wasabi...

Oyster Card

Advantages: Convenient
Disadvantages: You could lose it!

...deposit, was first issued to the public in July 2003, in a limited format, but by March 2007 over 10 million Oyster cards had been issued?how this quite works out I?m not sure as I swear there?s no more than 8 million residents in London?? Clearly the tourists are doing their bit too! Firstly, London is broken down into ?Zones?. Naturally, the further out of the centre of the city you are, the higher your zone number. To use a tube map as a diagram, the entire Circle Line is based within Zone 1, which means places such as Victoria, Paddington, Kings Cross, Westminster, Liverpool Street, High Street Kensington, Notting Hill, Sloane Square, Baker Street etc. etc. are all based in this zone, as are the likes of Oxford Street, Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace and St Paul?s Cathedral?basically what you?d call ?central? London. As you go further out...

Night Pictures in Yashica EZ7030

Advantages: value added features such a voice recording, video & music player
Disadvantages: Inability to take pictures in the night

...I have been using the Yashica EZ 7030 for the last one year. Though it has features such as voice recording, music player in addition to what it is meant for I have found exteremely difficult to soot in a reduced light environment. Even a slightest shake will make the picture blurr when the night mode is turned on. Unfortunately the manual doesn't explicitly explain the features and impact on their selection. Value added features such as voice recording, video (now available in many standard digital cameras) and music player found to be advantages. The manual doesn't explicitly explain the features and outcome upon selcting those features and their parameters. However, it is value for money if you are not very concerned about shooting pictures in the night....

Working for the well known card shop

Advantages: nice staff, not complicated work
Disadvantages: not the best paid job!

...I used to work at Clinton cards years ago when I was younger - in fact it was my first job! The shop may have changed slightly since then on how it's run but judging by the other reviews, it hasn't changed much! I was employed by Clinton cards for just under 3 years and during this time I did do quite a bit of training. I'll start from the beginning and cover as much as I can! Applying and the interview: I saw the ad placed in the window that they needed staff for the busy Christmas period on a temporary basis - this was just what I was looking for as at the time I was just going into college and needed a weekend job. I asked in the store for an application and the girl behind the counter was really nice and advised me that once I completed the form they would probably be in touch within a day or two. I actually completed...

Review of Clinton Cards

Quality cards at bargain prices

Advantages: Excellent value for money, great promotions
Disadvantages: Shops always busy, some relatives hard to find

.... They have all the usual kinds: birthday, christening, wedding, new baby, get well, etc. and the seasonal ones like Christmas and mothers/fathers day. What sets it apart from the rest is the price. A small individual card usually costs 29p or 59p, a medium card is 59p, large 89p and extra large 99p. Those aren't the blank ones you buy in bulk for acquaintances, they are Mum, Dad, son, daughter etc. They also do the generic cards, very good quality ones in a style similar to the 'Bang On The Door' range that cost 5 for £1 or bog standard 'bunch of flowers on the front' or teddy bear cards £1 for 10. Recently these offers were made even more fantastic by a promotion (lasting a good month or so) where every card in the shop was half price, even the 10 for £1 ones. I picked up the whole year's worth of family, friend and acquaintance birthday...

Vanquis Bank and Credit Card

Advantages: Gives credit to those who wouldn't otherwise get it.
Disadvantages: Very high interest, terrible customer service.

...A couple of months ago we made the mistake of getting a credit card "for emergencies", it was meant to be...but as always happens, it was used when it wasn't necessary (mainly by my husband!!!!). Vanquis Bank are a company who offers credit to people with a bad credit history (i.e. CCJs, missed payments etc and just no credit history). Anybody who has ever tried to get credit for the first time will know its sometimes very difficult, if you have never had any kind of credit given to you, companies won't take you on, as they don't know if your a risk or not...and so Vanquis offer a "credit score boosting card"...basically they give a credit card with £300 limit on it to people who have never before had a credit card and probably don't know how to use them correctly. (Before you start...I'm not calling everyone with no credit history...
