    Both Blind Pig and Optiwell show on the website that I can claim again on CS. Very odd but I am not complaining! I agree it is a faff!

    Have they definitely processed from last time for you?

    I am not sure when they update.

    Felt as if I was in a parallel universe in S this morning. Went in with vouchers which worked together and gave me 1000 points when I spent £20 -- found a lovely jumper in my colours which definitely fits! Voucher for 1000 points so if I can double up, that will be free. Also 200 extra points wys £10. Would be rude not to go in again...

    Then to petrol. Spent £40. Ended up with another 5,500 points.

    So I spent £60 and got 7,500 points, plus bonus points for swiping the right number of times should happen. Even if I don't manage to double up, that is not to be sneezed at! Does S know what it is doing?!

    Do they know what they are doing? Possibly - shifting stock and boosting sales figure on the accounts :D.

    Most muggles will just buy as normal and not break up their shop, forget to add to their card or then not spend them anyway. So a calculated risk really.

    I had to laugh this morning. Told my brothers about this and knew they would think it wasn't worth it. So I sent messages telling them about each £10 spend. Sudden interest!! One lives just round the corner from S too.

    Just come in from tortoise roll call :)
    You would think they would be considering hibernation now?
    No... Usually they have separate gardens to avoid any shenanigans involving pregnancies...
    But as they are now together in the large greenhouse as the next step towards hibernation. They are at it :eek::eek::eek: no sleepy males :o:o

    I did order from the last link a few days before I went on hols but despite a dispatch note it still hasn't arrived and the listing has been changed since it went up - it did say UK seller and dispatch but now says coming from China and with a Royal Mail tracking code that means jeff all. I shall be having words with eBay :mad:

    I did say about all these people ordering from there , some sellers had pre sold near on 2,000 think alot are going to be disappointed :(

    Afternoon luvlies, posting from sunny Spain. Good luck to all of you who are playing the S game, hopefully I'll catch this next time round.

    Re the speak out game, been trying for ages to get uk stock but had to turn to the bay to get one with a 3 week lead time from china. Alas it was a fake, even had the cheek to put Hasbro in the title, my foot - it was cheap tat. Had to report the seller as didn't want anyone giving a game to a child for Crimbo which didn't meet uk trading standards especially as those guards have to go in the mouth. Never had to do that before but feel I can sleep sounder now for speaking up :)
