can someone explain the Ocado thing in very simple terms to me please - do you have to spend £40 to get £20 off? Have I missed it now anyway :-)

You've missed registering on the Crowdity site, but if you go to page 6 of the Ocado thread, post 101, on Quick! Grabbit while you can forum, there's a linky for getting the code.

You must spend over £40 - even if it's £40.02 - to get £20 off your shop, and you must have your delivery no later than next Wednesday. Ocado/Waitrose aren't the cheapest, but if you're getting your shop for half price, then they are!

Just get the code, make a note of it (it begins VOU and then there are 7 numbers), then register, and then book a delivery. You can get some free delivery slots, though if your shop is less than £75, you have to pay £1.99, but you're still saving.

If you click on the Special Offers section, you'll find hundreds. Then when you've finished shopping, click on CHECKOUT and you'll get to a page that asks you to list any voucher codes, which is where you put the one that begins VOU******8.

Then, miraculously, your shop reduces by £20, and the delivery charge is added, and then it's just a question of adding your card details.:j My neighbour's ordered wine and cigarettes, and got £20 off, and another has bought £44 worth including lots of "luxury" stuff, like yummy desserts and smoked salmon, for £24, cos she felt like cheering herself up.

HTH Tumpty, and if you need any more advice, or I haven't explained it clearly, please don't hesitate to ask. :beer:

I'm confused - when I did the postcode checker the other day it said that Ocado did deliver to my postcode, but when I tried to register just now it said they didn't. So now I have a voucher but no way to redeem it. I was looking forward to a bit of Waitrose luxury:(. I can only think I must have mistyped the postcode before.

Morning peeps

We have five little babies in the house:j three silver/grey and white and two black and white. The two black and white look exactly like my 16 yr old, over the hills and snipped cat lol don't know how that happened:D

Mum is doing well, I left them well alone as they tell you to do and only been stroking mum. Well she got fed up last night of coming for a stroke and having to go back to the kittens so she decided to fetch them one at a time, jump on the sofa and put them next to me. I was a tad shocked lol. Can't wait for them to be playing around.:)

AW! Baby kittens...aw...aw...aw....congratulations on being a foster mummy. Aw...cuteness personified...:D:T

Hello fellow frugallers:j
Kitty piccies yes please:j:j:j

It's been a very good day here at Gnat Bottomed Towers- we have received unexpected notification that our mortgage will be paid off on 17th July. We thought it was Nov so I've had to do several cartwheels around the front room which I can assure you is most definitely not a pretty sight:eek::eek:

Have been lucky enough to receive a bag of small bottles of perfume this evening aswell from a freecycler- this was one of the luxuries [not that I had many] that I cut out when OH was made redundant 6 years ago...until I discovered the scents in £land and reinstated them. This will give me several months supply and I am most thrilled:D
