  • Yes, I am on 32 and nothing for a while. I'm trying to use the search bar as much as poss to bump it up a bit. We've got £96 worth of nectar points now! They're burning a hole in my purse.

    We have £77. I keep thinking there must be a catch with the search bar and have been cheekily wondering whether Mr AJM can do some of these things as an additional cardholder :o

    Not sure we were wondering about using them for the cinema, how about you?

  • Might use it for a wardrobe for Mini-MSE, shame you can't double or triple them as much as you can with Tesco.

  • We have a sort-of unplanned expense in the form of £800 course fees for DH. It is good in the long term as hopefully he can move to a job that isn't shifts within the police. But, it will be tricky to find £800 while on maternity leave! I think we will have to take it out of the overpayments account and pay it back when I'm working again.

    Good news- the phone payment cleared! I'll transfer when I've got both hands free, I'm cuddling Mini-MSE at the mo!

    Some adpoints have appeared so now nearly at 100 points.

    Very happy as a coat I liked in Sainsburys is now half price, so was £22.50 instead of £45! yay! I'm so glad I waited instead of paying full price.

    I have managed to get to the maximum points for the time in weeks today and I had an email for a double points ad too so I hope more are coming your way.

  • Sig updated with the £93.50 proceeds from the sale of my upgrade handset.

    My automatic actual overpayment of £33.29 (to round my monthly payment to £1k) has gone to the mortgage, I can't really record this in my sig as it's going to confuse me as it won't be in my ISA. I'll use it when I'm reporting figures for MFiTt3 as I'll ring up for my actual mortgage balance.

    We are in deepest Wales at the mo, it's easy not to spend as there are no shops! You must have to be super organised food-wise to live in the middle of nowhere.

    Hopefully NSD today but we might need something when we get home.
