    My advice, don't send him shopping, he probably deep down doesn't feel confident doing it and doesn't want to. He then subconciously fails to do it how you like, thereby reducing the chance that you will ask him again. In my experience this sort of problem is common in relationships.

    See you there! :wave:

    I wouldn't dream of attempting the shopping on my own. :D :cool:
    If you lend someone a tenner and never see them again, it was probably worth it.

    It is all very well to say Teco clubcard is better than Necar - and I agree - but I like the food at Sainsburys and no amount of clubcard points would make me get the main shop at Tesco - so I might as well collect Nectar.

    Not related to the op thread at all (although you have my sympathies!) but when you use the points for Adams vouchers can you only use one per transaction (ie £5 off you bill) or can you use several at once? I have £60 worth and want to know if I can spend them all in one go?

    Many thanks in advance for your help

    I have successfully used several per transaction but they don't give change so the last bit you have to pay in cash.
    I think....

    No, there's at least two of us! Bet he'll think twice before trying to help out next time. :eek:
    Some blokes would have gone out and lost the week's shopping money on a horse! Be thankful that all was lost were a few Nectar points that didn't cost anything in the first place.
    Can I help?
