However, it is of course only available to 02 customers. So I would recommend Quidco (i find it a bit of a faff unless you have a big ticket item to by e.g. tv) Vouchercodes is very good as is Shop Save Scan and the vouchers Tesco send me. I have all these as "apps" on my iphone so you are never caught out without being able to check to see if a discount is available. x Any luck on the renting of the house?Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03541501002713133313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1731270666774779720.post-23571885198483219392013-02-21T08:07:09.750-08:002013-02-21T08:07:09.750-08:00Thanks for all the advice and going forward i will...Thanks for all the advice and going forward i will be trying to deoderise my shoes more regularly.<br />However, smell is not the only issue, there is no stiffness in the back of the shoes to keep them in place as you walk and the heel has lost a lot of leather and the sole on the heel is worn down. Quite frankly they are not worth spending £7 on repairing.<br />I have never found the right kind of shoe in Charity Shops here in the UK, though I will continue to look for a second pair of work shoes to try and prolong life.

Then you can take your time finding the next ones at a good price. Not always possible, I know. A good slug of bicarb inside shoes, hoovered out before wearing, helps with the deodourising; if that doesn't help, a wipe inside with tea tree oil might help; cheap at Wilkinsons.

They are quite inexpensive. Have you ever bought shoes at a thrift? I didn't until two years ago (worried about cleanliness and all that). I have found two BRAND new pairs and one pair only used once or twice for just a couple dollars. When I get them home I disinfect them with rubbing alcohol and a cotton swab. Just a thought to stay on budget.Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.com
