That’s another AtlasForMen website promo referral link to let friends get their discount.
The incentive leads to an initial discount deal. If we subscribe, the best deal is probably the discount codes I get, such as 3 items for the price of 2.
This weekend, I got this email discount. I bought 3 Clearance items (Atlas For Men) multipacks. Thankfully, I paid for 2. As the original price was over £45, I got free delivery. So I will get 6 items for the cost of about £32.50.
I paid for that order, then repeated it for the same items in different colours. Another £32.50 to make £65 for 12 items. So I saved £32.50 plus a £9 delivery total.
The website doesn’t automatically grant discounts as they had to be for items sold and delivered by Atlas For Men. I click the MENS category, then the Clearance category, and then I choose the brand, size and price. Several accounts help us to sign in if one account isn’t recognised. Keep a note of passwords to avoid delays later.
http://www.groceries.morrisons.com see the MORE CARD and its offers. Some offer extra points at 2 points for a penny, so 50 points would be 25p, until 1,000 points lead to a £5 offer.
£12 voucher code in an email, plus £13 discounts on the website for another £25 saved this weekend.

This TV Shopping Channel website regularly sends customers updates and new item details. After delivery, check the package contents for additional discount codes.
When ordering, try to buy ONE item first to see if a secondary discount appears for more items at a lower price, rather than order 2 or more items right at the start. TEST what happens before you complete an order.
After your order, you may get a new discount or extended free delivery, so use that code to order more, eg code MEAGAIN if that is offered…
The TV shows have product demos and codes, yet the emails offer short video clips and codes.
The website features categories and new products to explore.
Please understand that several magazines feature audio-video product reviews, news and customer feedback for us to learn more about our TVs, projectors and so on. Many website links will be included with the magazine articles and adverts. Articles must be written before the latest showcase tech events, and can provide feedback soon after. So readly.com grants us that extra information. We can then discover the items’ specifications and details to see what helps us, before we buy, try and return.

This is one of those promotional links that members of readly.com are given to invite friends to join after their free trial ends, and they pay for the service to get one month of freebies for us. I waited until my freebie of 2 months of newspapers and magazines starting on the 4th of April 2025.
Otherwise, check your readly.com emails for your separate offers. Then get your promotional link and share it with your friends.
By the way, some payment details may be out-of-date, so check your details on your cards and for 2 months after, to make sure any payments go through at that time.

I bought 2 Android set-top boxes on eBay for half the price I could have paid elsewhere. I used the Make An Offer option and saved £65 that way.
Another eBay item cost less than I expected, so I saved another £10.
The Morrisons Groceries order helped save another £25 after I registered for the website’s More Card.
I saved £100.

I learned about the new BG tariffs and chose the V51 tariff for the next 16 months for just a little extra than I pay now. I used the website to check the charges, including the 5% VAT. All I’m doing is extending my existing tariff by 2 months so it ends in August 2026.
The latest guess is prices will go down slightly this Summer but will increase in the Winter. I decided to keep my monthly bill set to £140 and will get the statements to confirm my lower usage in March 2025 until about October/November 2025.

This is a Google search offering free services rather than the try and buy services using a credit system for each feature tested. So if visitors include text descriptions such as ultra photo realistic high resolution image of they usually get better results when they describe human faces and body features and costumes or casual dress as well as background details and types of locations and if lighting is bright lighting or well lit or not and even in the style of anime or cartoon or fantasy art…

Thanks for some feedback as this malware situation is attacking on different levels and this one is deliberately set as a trap for Internet newbies and the impulsive link clickers. Behind the scenes there are different links to the malware that can’t be spotted easily because they could be image files rather than exe files. I can’t say that the jpg appears to get itself displayed to disguise itself or if it just doesn’t show itself at all. Furthermore, different web browsers change the jpg files so they have different names such as f_ then a number yet without the extension so we can’t tell if it’s HTM or HTML or FONT TTF or gif or webp or webm or mov or mp4 and so on.
I use Irfanview’s image viewer and editor. I load up the folder’s files and these get shown whether gifs, jpgs, pngs or webp files. I can’t see the th files unless I edit the extension such as webp by using the XYPlorerFree program. I then open these with Irfanview thumbs and see the webp files displayed. Now I sort out the images I don’t need before I even deal with the ones I can. Now I click an image to see if it tells me it’s a gif, a jpg or a png or an svg file. When I get the details I agree to rename these and finally I can convert some files into png files and start to file these into different folders. I learned recently that a folder can get explored to find certain files for me such as f_ etc or th or thm or thumb or small etc.
Apart from these situations I use the NIRSOFT programs to view Internet Cache folders for different web browsers. The alternatives are limited from then on except to use the Internet web browser extension called LOADFY or LOADIFY as that collects images as a separate web page and sometimes adds the larger image versions, too. Download hundreds of images that way or save the complete web page itself.
Talk about a palaver!
Even though eBay UK website now charges a protection fee, I made an offer to get the item cheaper. The automatic processing of a credit card gets the transaction accepted even if we don’t get the email confirmation in our Inbox listings. The auction web page provides the success of the reduced offer. So visit that to find out now and then.

A few emails with offers and I got the £12 off a £60 as the best so I signed in and checked the MORE CARD sign in with the same account details. I visited the groceries and the More card savings. Eventually getting a saving of £45 this time.
TV LICENCE INFO continued…
If the unemployed get about 50% of what pensioners get then they need every penny to survive anyway, so as long as the TV Licence is included in the payments they are duty bound to pay it, too. Who among the unemployed actually sets aside about £14 a month to pay the TV Licence before paying it quarterly or annually? Compelled by law to pay it or face a fine if they don’t? Will they risk that fine and not pay a penny?
What if 2 or more are unemployed in the same house? That’s like 2 or more TV Licence payments, right? Does that add up? I still don’t get that.
Those who live alone must pay it all or all of the fine?
Erm… what happens if 2 or more don’t pay it all as a group? Is that colluding to break the law, so to speak? A deliberate collective action of fraud or forgetfulness? Are the parents or guardians forced to pay with or without the unemployed’s contribution or contributions?
If rent does get paid then does that include paying towards the TV Licence, too? Is that in a written contract or not?
Erm…
This article explains the TV Licence increases in April 2025 by an extra £5.
The rules get shown for those near or above retirement age as well as options for those on Pension Credit or low income. So some qualify for certain rules and others don’t.
My point of view differs from the updates because those who receive any benefits receive the minimum according to the law and I contacted the DWP about the TV Licence and learnt it is already included in each benefit.
The DWP is therefore paying it to each person anyway. So there’s no reason to cancel the TV Licence payment for those getting payments already.
The confusion applies to each person getting benefits yet then getting payments reduced to £0.00 before the 74-75 age. They are expected to pay the TV Licence because it’s already in the Cost of Living payment. They are legally bound to pay the payment until the 74-75 age. After that, what happens? Guess what? They still get paid the same payment and keep it without paying the TV Licence. Can that actually make sense? So millions of pensioners get the payment and keep it? Does that add up or not?
If the TV Licence isn’t allowed for then millions of pound are getting overpaid? That that mean over-payments must be paid back to the DWP or not? Or the DWP must lower the payments when the TV Licence doesn’t get paid? In other words, another setup depending on age? Even so, the zero payment setup has been going on for years! If excused from paying back the previous over-payments then that has to be done on an individual or a national basis.
I don’t get it… but if I get that extra payment on living to the zero payment age then I still don’t know if I must pay it back in the future or not… or get lower payments instead…
As usual, things just don’t add up.
I used Virgin Media’s 150 phone number again for an extra call on the 12th March 2025
New 18-month contract… Cancellation charges?
I agreed to a new contract discount quote of £32 for a new 18-month contract but I wasn’t informed about any cancellation fee for such a long contract. I was told it would be over £500.
If we see a TV advert of another ISP offering to pay some or all cancellation fees we might as well ignore it as well as considering other ISP contract deals or any with new deal discounts.
If I did cancel, it’s safer to do so at the near end of an 18-month minimum contract.
I asked advice about if I had not changed to a new deal what would be my cancellation fee based on the remaining months at that time and was told it would be an estimated £100.
Consider a new deal if truly committed to the contract and the cancellation fee throughout its months. This applies to the Broadband cost as well as keeping the phone line rental cost. Don’t cancel the phone setup as you usually find that necessary to sign in or change a password as it’s going to require a number code used on the Internet website or saying a number over the phone.
Don’t ignore the truth if already on benefits because that you could see these reduced or even cancelled or not even allowed to apply for.
Benefits include the cost of living and increases based on figures that apply in advance of actual price increases. We get Broadband and phone costs and the TV Licence Tax included, so we’re duty bound to pay those bills without avoiding these. We either save money aside of our other expenses or complain after spending the money elsewhere. So all the factors must be considered and haggling with companies is one way to stay in contract and budget once again for such increases.
We can use the Internet to get website deals, codes, vouchers and so on. These could be more than enough to pay the main bills. We know that 20% VAT gets charged so the Government has already included that as well. We know that increases in employee wages are part of what happens so we can’t expect things improving unless we use the Internet to reduce our increased bills.
I’ve saved thousands of pounds by shopping around. Prices have increased but so have wages and so have benefits, then along comes the Labour Government with Welfare changes and cost-cutting theories as well as limited successes and human collateral damage, too. Some people are living alone so they pay all the standing charges which can be about £300 a year even for low energy users. Even the Bank of England can change their rates up and down and cause chaos to some couples and families. So these concerns are real and with just cause for most of the increases. We’re not living in the best of times but if things do get worse then we may look back and think these were and we didn’t know it.
