    Went out and used all my free cokes from my 1st AP, bought seperately one at a time through SS, six at a time. Got 29 now :D

    All worked ok.

    Already worring that MS expire April LOL.

    Also got 3 de icers from Halfjords
    Stll need to get free cans o' pop from WHSmyths

    Now festive period over looking forward to more freebies, O3 promise the free coughees are coming back Tuesday And WonTwo say in "coming soon" that dominoes.

    I spent a total of 60p on haribos and got £10 meal and £3 Greggsies.

    I am planning and going out for a breakfast for two when visiting relatives in a few weeks at a Harvester using my £10 voucher. 2 all in breakfasts without the drinks (water will do) £13.98 less AA discount (20%) = £11.18, less £10 voucher = cost to me £1.18

    Have you noticed BH that at the top of the voucher it says expires 30/4 but under 'how to redeem' it says expires 31 jul 2018.

    Good evening Elite.

    Car insurance. Last year 291 less 26 cashback = 265. This year renewal quote is 297 but search engines are coming back with £525 cheapest. Current provider won't even provide a quote. What is going on?

    Doesn't seem unreasonable.

    It is our second car, we only do less than 2k miles a year in it, it is worth less than 1500, we have 10 years ncd, one non-fault accident each in the last 5 years and live in a safe area and we are being quoted 30p mile for insurance :eek:

    The answer is to increase your mileage. Doubling it to 4k would halve the insurance cost to 15p / mile. :rotfl:

    Seriously, you do hear stories of very low mileages increasing premiums.

    I already claim but there’s something about getting reduced maternity pay to the amount of the salary sacrifice - Maybe I might be able to cancel them for the relevant 2 months and then reinstate them, but I’m skeptical that they’d let you do that without throwing down a few hurdles



    That sounds interesting, I might see if dh can get something similar- thanks

    Evening all, if anyone is passing Mr Shoes its worth checking the clearance section. Have been into two stores recently and found some heavily discounted items
    i.e http://www.boots.com/soap-and-glory-bright-and-beautiful-6-in-1-energising-radiance-serum-10197015
    was down to £1.25 and still went through as buy one get one half price.
    Chocolate always makes me feel better!

    Mine is not HSBC either - coke ones say 30 April in 'how to redeem' but £3 & £5 ones say 31 July (even though shown as 30/4 in top corner). Is it just me?

    Lost £20 of APG vouchers, they were showing expire 06/01 and I had planned on using them tonight to place an order. Now I'm not sure whether to ring and complain and risk flagging my account or just take the hit. What would the Elite do?

    Which would seem to make more sense as all other vouchers (excl cokes) expire 31/7.
