    Someone mentioned if you have hit your £100 limit you can technically order more sharpies now, but don't click claim voucher and then move it into next month's allowance.

    Is this true?


    TIA :)

    Yes you need to check it but not claim, can do next 3 shops

    :A Funnily - I was in Kipling store yesterday & there was a bag with my sister's name on the monkey, plus it was in a colour only she would find attractive... so I bought it, that prompted a meltdown outside in the middle of Cheshire Oaks :o:o:o
    but she loves it :)



    :o:o Originally she was trying to 'pop' them, thinking they were cysts.
    She is an avid squeezer of spots, boils, lumps & black heads :o
    When we went to Parents the other weekend, she insisted a lump on Dad's face was an ancient black head .. So she squeezed it :eek:
    I wish we had filmed it for You Tube... it was up there with the best. Yards of dry compacted detritus came out in a long sausage :o:o :D

    TMI :rotfl:



    A little kilpling tale from my Belgium art teacher.

    Kiplings were made in Belguim around 20 years ago and she had an aunt who worked in the Factory Apparently the Monkeys were then named after members of staff.
    She was given a huge bag of obsolete monkeys and having no use for them gave them to a charity shop here in the UK.
    Think she is wishing she had held on to them.

    I don't know if Kiplings are still made there though.

    I've tried to sign up today and it says that I'm connected to the internet when I am!

    You mean " you need to be connected to the Internet " when you already are lol. Try again tomorrow maybe something wrong with the app.

    Finally got my 3k points from Viking! :j

    I did message Nectar on fb about it, maybe that helped.

    Well done. As a few of us are still waiting, out of interest, did you buy giftcards or something else?

    Many thanks

    Good morning Elite :hello:

    So life has changed, never to be the same again. My baby at the age of 27 has fledged. My stash has depleated :eek: the freezer looks slimmer :eek: and the Bank of M&D took a pounding :cool: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I can't remember a week like it, I'm sure my other three fledged much easier than this but there again the Bank of M&D took poundings then too :o.

    So our weekend was quiet during the early hours of Saturday and Sunday, no drunken feet stumbled up the stairs :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: we slept right through if I remember rightly :D

    Sorry AJ...I didn't have the time to reply this morning but wanted to say......ENJOY:D

    I know it's really difficult at first but think of the positives...... your shower will stay cleaner, your bills will fall and the place will be tidier. It used to amaze me, how when we came back after being out a while, everything was still as you left it:rotfl: Meals are easier to plan too and shopping less demanding. Make the most of it:D

    Quite funny, one positive that came out of DD moving out is that she suddenly found out how much sugar she and her fianc!e got through, I used to have to buy a bag a week, now I buy maybe two or three a year :eek: And DD has gone from having 5 (yes 5!!) spoons of sugar in her coffee to none, and her fianc!e now has sweeteners!!
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Ive been chatting to both Viking and Nectar. One says I need to chase the other:o......

    ........until tonight when someone on nectar FBI is going to take it up with Viking on my behalf. Nectar can't "see" my order and there's nowhere I can look on Viking to prove that the accounts are linked. They definitely are linked though as I've had points in the past when I've ordered from them.

    They have just asked for a screenshot of my order which I've provided.....amazingly I'd taken one. So we will see. I'll keep you informed:)
