Am delighted by the lovely Linz and the FD ££. Just hoping that she gets the Mr Katsu referral too. They got sent off at the same time so hopefully all will be well (and she and I can enjoy £50 free money each!).
Walked to and from Mr A yesterday, saving petrol (but not my arms!).
Got another christmas gift in the CS yesterday - £1.50 for a big bottle of aftershave for DB. No cellophane wrapping but still with box (bottle looked pretty much full - and smelt OK). Got to love stashing these bargains. Hopefully I can convince him it was a sample sale or something, not second hand
Raised a TCB missing cashback claim - getting the hang of that now. Doubt this will be as quick as the netflix but who knows!
