    me skint, me cannot afford food, this is how me affords food.

    calling card - you have to call a number on the card, then call the number you want to ring abroad and you only get charged xp per minute.

    if you don't want yours..... have a friend that would really appreciate them. her family lives abroad.

    Ok, don't go dig your spuds for anything else - make sure they expand to 2000 spuds then you can have £20 M&S

    Bit nervous now! Hope we don't get bickering...

    Anyone else post/lurk on mumsnet? They have a smiley icon that looks like a jammie dodger - and if anyone 'kicks off' it's used as a shorthand to say "poster wants to start a bunfight". Can diffuse situations imho.
  • On the subject of spud shilling m&s voucher.Its under the fashion section.Does anyone know if it can be used for food?I'm hoping to get one towards xmas.
    Also can "my OH" have an account too??
    TIA

  • Ive posted on coupon thread not to bring it here but to start a "bicker" thread instead.

    Im very curious about this £5 from Asda. Dr w w seems to have it sussed. Need free product vouchers so as not to spend £40. Dont suppose we'll know til tomorrow when someone prints a voucher how it will affect things. How are they going to operate the £5 on an apg for example. if I womble 10 receipts tomorrow all over £40 spent and they all give an apg will there be an extra £5 on each one? if you are only allowed one £5 and have to spend another £40 what happens to your regular apg?

    Am I waffling? or does that make a lickle bit of sense?
    Love, through the trees, past the sky, beyond the northern lights; and I won't let go. May your soul and spirt fly sweetheart x
