    Baking help required please ...

    made fairy cakes the other day with dd and they were fab, used same/similar recipe to make sponge sandwich today and it didn't rise.

    I used 175g flour/sugar/butter and 3 eggs, drop of milk. and the sandwich tins I used were the Mr.T non stick ones that were wrongly priced a little while ago.

    I'm wondering if I didn't make enough mixture for the size of the tins - can you tell I'm not a baking pro, lol.

    Oh and I'm right handed.


    Hello all :)
    I use 8oz sr flour/sugar /butter and 3 eggs thats all no milk

    I wondered that too ... but I didnt think they were that smart

    They can and do!

    about a year or so ago they offered me 50 cc points to merge cards....I declined their kind offer as I guessed I could get more
    keeping the 2 accounts open but not so...

    I can also only get my favourites up online on one account...

    I fear they are :(

    When the ex and I split, I applied for my own clubcard and registered it at my parents address just in case. The ex seems to have transferred his one into my name so when I saw the Clubcard envelope arrive I almost binned it. Thankfully I didn't. It was the cc vouchers for the card registered at my folks :eek:

    There was nothing dodgy going on, I just didn't want the vouchers to fall into the wrong hands IYKWIM. I've no idea how they realised what address I was at other than my Direct & Clothing accounts being registered where I am now.

    Freaky.
    Really don't want to worry anyone but judging by a fair few posts lately it won't go amiss to be reminded - Caz is spot on and as far as CC data is concerned, yes it is that smart and yes T will use it for whatever purposes they choose. If you use a CC, any transaction that can be linked by other CC accounts, addresses, phone numbers, names, etc will be linked and logged. Including Price check vouchers, DTDs if the receipt is scanned and a CC was used and any returns if a CC is used. Including CC vouchers issued from other accounts. Including every call and e-mail to CS and H/O (your phone number is logged as soon as the call goes in).

    At the push of a button, T can (and will) lay out in one hit your entire transaction history at any/all of their stores or on-line down to the last 1p item purchased and the last bottle of wine returned. I suspect that the T transaction history of any one of us would make very interesting reading if captured in its entirety in one place.

    There is a strong suspicion that they can also link payment cards but that is illegal so they can't use that data, and the more paranoid also start wondering about IP addresses.

    There is more, a lot more, that T can and does record, including as we all know, monitoring the use of MSE and similar forums (fora?). Just because T does permit us to bend their own rules (eg by using someone else's clubcard vouchers or by cirumventing the Price check rules on number and value of claims per household per month) does not mean that it can't come back to bite us. 99.9% of the time T is not interested, not looking, but a few are unlucky enough to be in that 0.1%.

    To repeat advice already given, just tread slowly and carefully and if you think you may be sailing a bit clsoe to the wind and there is any danger of popping up on the T radar, then I personally would stick with cash and no CC.

    Sadly, I have to agree with this. Recently got £45 cc vouchers for my never used, old cc- I'd signed up for the 3000 bonus points insurance offer and saw this on my other cc account, yet got vouchers on old cc... surprised-029.gif

    It scared the bejaysus outta me I tell thee!

    I phoned the Clothing peeps a while back because my bonus points hadn't gone on my account and the clubcard folks said they can't do anything as different systems. The lady on the clothing line was quite narky when she realised my addresses were different (cc address and postage address). I explained the circumstances and she seemed fine but that was 6+ months ago.

    I don't think I have anything to worry about unless the link cc and debit card. If I have a known DTD I don't use my cc and I resist the temptation to add the points later. Quite often when I've had a DTD they don't take the points off but maybe I should invest in a new payment method?

    Ohhhhhh and if anyone finds out about the Pampers, I'd really really appreciate a big shout out. The kids can go to bed a bit later if the nappies are scanning cheap.
