I've not read a book more than three times since my teens, and not often then, one would be Darkling. I have favourites I would love to rearead but I end up reading something new instead.  Not that I'm doing much of that
either.

Quite a few, especially in my youth as I never had enough books, and I love to reread favourites ...
Some of them are: The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley The Neverending Story by Michael Ende Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald Effi Briest by Theodor Fontane |

Love the avi, Keith!
I'd never read any fiction more than twice. Cass, The Great Gatsby was one I did read twice.

I've had 2 dvds off ipoints, but there's only one shop where I earn ipoints so it takes ages to save the 1000 points to get 1 dvd. Tesco is better for
me, I get at least £100 over the year in vouchers, pretty good cashback scheme.

Never. I don't want anyone keep track of what I buy. I just go shoplifting every now and again to make up for the loss.

Yes, I get 10 Euro for 1000 points, and that´s good value even if it takes me a while to collect 1000 points.

Yes, I have Boots and Tesco club cards. Boots give 4p in the £ back and Tesco 1p (I think).

I have discount cards from several groceries stores, where they will scan the card at the register and you get discounts on certain products. As you are
shopping you will see tags by the products that are discounted and they change from week to week.

Easy - any exercise equipment. An exercise bike 15 years ago, a stepper, underneath bed used a handful of times, a skipping rope most recently, used once. I
should learn it's better to leave it at the good intentions without spending money too.
