Advantages: Cheap books initially
Disadvantages: Not much choice

...magazine. Club magazine The M&T Club magazine, is a small catalogue, with about 15 or so pages. It contains an assortment of books with a mysterious or thrilling element, hence the mystery and thriller title, clever eh? Your obligation is to buy at least one book from that magazine to honour your club commitment. Four magazines are then sent to you in the course of your membership. Then, in my experience, they stop sending them to you, and your membership is automatically cancelled or expired. You then have the option to rejoin 6 months later. You will know when that 6-month period has expired, as you tend to receive letters through the post urging you to renew your membership. Each one has an attractive offer to sway your judgement and a free gift is waved under your nose to tempt you even further. Who could resist a lovely travel... Read review

Advantages: Fast Service.
Disadvantages: I don't know.

...Just by GBP1, you are going to have 15 pcs of chicken at Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) in Indonesia. It is a new package or offer from KFC in Indonesia. Well, in this case KFC offers a package (containing 5 pcs of chicken) just for Rp4,545 (GBP1 = Rp14,000). Personally I see it is a great offer! Well, I visit KFC with my son and wife once in a month. My wife and I do not love eating KFC's products, but my son does! It does not mean that I am anti-Americans’ products! As the fact, most of people living in Indonesia (especially the adults) do not prefer eating the products very much. But, concerning that having lunch or dinner at KFC is the simplest way (because they serve their consumers with the FAST FOOD concept), especially when we do not have much time, we must walk into KFC! Another fact, I see that children living... Read review

Advantages: great introductory offers, available online or post
Disadvantages: need to remember to choose a book or reject editors choice

...grace is that usually the editors choice will be something you'll actually be interested in reading as they are usually the latest mystery/ thriller releases. It is also one of the most easily accessible clubs via internet post or telephone (and you definately CAN speak to a human on the telephone as the very last option once it toggles through all the choices is to speak to customer services). My only complaints are the time it takes to send you your books, I've waited upwards of 28 days so if you're in a hurry or want a particular book for holidays etc need to order it well in advance. Also the amount they charge for postage and packing is a bit steep. One last thing is depending on who delivers the books, as on occasion mine have been left in full view on my front step by the courier and on another my neighbours books were left in MY...

...destinations in Europe, such as Germany, Italy, Spain - but also Russia, Korea or the USA. More expensive destinations would for example be the United Arab Emirates (GBP 0.153 per minute + VAT), the Ukraine (GBP 0.076 + VAT) or Kazakhstan (GBP 0.099 + VAT). A full list with all fees can be found on the Skype-website. Calls to mobile networks usually are more expensive. In the United Kingdom you pay 0.144 GBP/minute + VAT for calls to all providers. Also possible from the UK: Calling shared-cost numbers, such as 0551, 0560 or 0871. The price depends on the number which is called and a list is also found on the Skype website. Last but not least: It's also possible to phone "Toll-Free" numbers on Skype - calls to such numbers of course are absolutely free. The credit can only be bought in packets of 10 Pounds (20 Pounds, 30 Pounds…) and is valid... Read review

Advantages: Secure, quite straightforward installation
Disadvantages: Cost, rattles when empty

...at a slightly cheaper price that I paid (179GBP) but i wanted to see it "in the flesh" so to speak. I finally found one in my local Mothercare store (Slough, Berks) which had recieved it in error in their latest delivery but had decided to put it on the shelf for the day. John Lewis also stock the seat, but haven't had one available when I've been there. I was 99.9% certain the seat was ok for the car since it is listed on the compatibility sheet on the Britax website (but Ciao guidelines say I shouldn't include the website address - you can guess it!). If you are considering this seat you really MUST check this list first! (Incidentally, this will also tell you if you need to purchase the tether kit, which some cars require for complete installation - Cost about 15GBP I think) I already have a Britax Rennaisance seat, and it does leave...

Today, I shall be telling you all about Season One of the Nancy Drew & Hardy Boys Mysteries which debuted on television in 1977. To be honest with all of you, I prefer Drew to the Hardy’s, though I did read several books on the brother duo, which would go out and solve mysteries as a team. Contrary to popular belief, the Hardy Boys did not debut the same... Read review

Advantages: Initial Offer Great.
Disadvantages: You can buy the books cheaper elsewhere.

...I joined Mystery and Thriller Club, 2004. I ordered my introductory 5 books for £5.00. Ordered a further 4 boks form them, and then cancelled membership. Book number 4 did not arrive. had to fill out a form for this. Moved house a little later, and 1 year on i am getting letters threatenin to take me to court for an unpaid £140.00. They also claim they never received my non receipt form and I have had to fill out another one of those too. Contacted trading standards, and have sent them a 3rd letter. Trading Standards have told me to give them 21 days to respond or they will take it up. They say i never cancelled!! Never join this book club. In my experience it is a total nightmare. Great if you keep ordering books, and a nightmare if there are any problems. You sit on hold for at least 15-20 mins on their phone line... Read review

Do others that you live with, work? Yes and no. My husband's Manic Depression is stable and he is a qualified plasterer- and is excellent at it. He has a short run of work for the momment,but god knows how long it'll last. Our oldest son is working with him at the momment. 17. Are you a member of a union? No. Because mystery shopping as a self employed person is casual and not considered there is no such thing. Though I sometomes wish there was. The oonly "union" we have is On the Mystery shopping forum! but that doesn't count. 18. How often do you get paid? Depends on ther company. Monthly mostly. Others every 2 weeks or so. 19...
