Boo at no Boots points as paid with Boots Advantage card
Shopped at Boots online this evening. I didn't realise but if you use your Boots Advantage card to pay for your shopping, you don't get any points on your purchase. This is a shame as I spent £65 and would have collected £7.80 in points but hey ho, I've saved myself £65 in cold hard cash that I can now spend/save elsewhere…

Wetherspoons unfair drinks policies!
1. I drink tea, my husband coffee. Up to 1400, he can have unlimited filter coffee refills, but I can't have the equivalent for tea.

Unexpected Parcel - sure it's dodgy

Google Vent!
Morning! I was just wondering! Is there any possible way when on your mobile and searching Google. Is there a way of just seeing answers from the UK and not USA?

Please get a second opinion!
I hope it's ok to post a "professional" vent here - it's been irritating me all day and just gotta vent! There's also a lesson in it for all you consumers out there...

Insurance companies and other suppliers are often charging a higher price if you go via a cash back sites such as Topcashback and Quidco. The difference versus going direct or via a price comparison site can be greater the cash back on offer (which isn't guaranteed). Should there be a warning on the cash back sites?

The Mystery Dining Company (now HGEM) beware
I wonder how many members of MSE are also Mystery Diners for The Mystery Dining company, now called HGEM? There are discussion forums on their website, but whenever anything critical pops up, it's very quickly deleted, along with the thread. This may prove to be an alternative method of communication for Mystery Diners who…
