I need help to spend some 'free' money! (1 Viewer)

[Minxy]

We've had a code sent to us from Ebay for £10 off a £20+ spend (excluding P&P) which has to be used by 9th June but we can't think of anything we really want ... sad I know ... so we're struggling as it seems 'rude' not to use it but obviously don't want to just spend for the sake of it.

Give me some ideas please especially stuff to do with motorhoming etc ... not too expensive though!

Aquakem or similar, if you use it

 

[pappajohn]

Why not go for the latest BT broadband offer while your at it..... Could save you £20 month for 6 months.
Seems pointless just because its there.

That`s a very generous offer, they never send me anything so generous.
It`s usually 10% off selected retailers, and never the one I`d want to use

<Yorkshire> 10 quid off a 20 quid purchase, P&P not included, means it''s costing you at least 10 quid plus P&P for something you apparently don't need. Bin the voucher and you'll be at least 10 quid plus P&P better off.</Yorkshire>

Reminds me of my mother who came back from town every weekend laden with shopping bags and proclaiming that she'd saved a fortune!

I bought washing capsules the other week only buy what you need will use

What about some face masks for when you're out and about in the van again...

 

[Gromett]

I had that pop up on ebay a couple of days ago. Forgot about it and just went to look for it as I do need something. Typical code has gone

 

[CazPaul]

Get some nice GRP Polish for the van, that always comes in.

With everyone using their motorhomes and caravans after lockdown and probably using the onboard facilites, toilet fluid etc could be a shrewd move. Could become scarce and or more expensive.

Water filter kit

Ebay don't do broadband offers and we can't get BT in our area, only part of the country which can't!

As for it being pointless ... that's why I said "obviously don't want to just spend for the sake of it."

If we don't identify something we really want/need then we won't be using it.

Thanks for the suggestions guys and gals, keep them coming.

We don't use it, or anything else in the loo now, as we now have a sog.

I can't stand some of the branded stuff as the scent gets on my chest so we just use the cheap liquid stuff which isn't as smelly.

What about some face masks for when you're out and about in the van again...

Already got some 'filter' ones and may make my own cloth ones so I can have a few and be able to wash them especially as I don't like the 'single use' ones which are an environmental disaster as they go in landfill.

Hubby bought some stuff a while back so don't need any at the moment.

Water filter kit

I'm a Yorkshire girl so am used to hard water, my cuppa wouldn't tast the same with all the 'goodness' filtered out!

Motorhome cleaner by fenwicks. usually about £8

Yup, a stone's throw from Swift in Cottingham.

Let’s be honest if you don’t need it, no matter what, you’ve still spent money you didn’t need to spend, good marketing, that’s how FB makes so much money, now where’s that throbbing gristle bar I just bought?

 

[irnbru]

If you use campsite showers or swimming pools how about one of those screw thingys that keep the water knob pressed in.

Let’s be honest here Minxy, I don’t think there’s anything that you want and haven’t actually got already it’s probably more a case of what do you use that needs replacing. If you really wanted something I’m sure you’d have bought it by now.

have never bought from ebay so have no idea how the system works, but Gromett needs summat he said so can't you pass the voucher code on to him and do a good turn for a fellow funster rather than bin it?

I did think of that when he said he wanted something but AFAIK you can't buy something and have it sent to another address.

fair enough, but couldn't you just send the code to him? or does that not work?
i don't buy over the internet, so have no idea..

One serious suggestion, unless you have one already, is one of those kits for extractin air from top of wine bottles - consists of 3 rubber corks and a small hand pump so air exits and vacuum is left, making rest of wine last longer.

 

[TheBig1]

non motorhome specific, but maybe something to help your leaky old dog? absorbent bed pads etc or the urine smell killer they use in nursing homes?

What about some SD cards for your cameras, phones, dash cam etc., you can never have enough.

My goodness - you are an expert on the multi quotes (bowing down in admiration and respect). One day...................

Thanks for the thought, but that is not what I meant. I basically binned mine because I couldn't be arsed to use it within the time specified.

I did think of that when he said he wanted something but AFAIK you can't buy something and have it sent to another address.

Thanks but you think of something for yourself.

Vouchers are tied to the account. I wouldn't accept it anyway even if offered. That was not my intent. I regret the post now sorry.
Thanks for thinking of me though both of you.

Nothing to be sorry for Karl chances are, though, that you'll get another one sent if you don't use the first, that's what we've had happen in the past.
