    Morning all :)
    Great win AH bu I have to say I'm with Bully on this one - I also did lottery when it first started, haven't done it for years. My dad won £2.5k and was gutted - missed a bigger prize by one number - said that was his chance gone :D
    Don't bet on horses, even Grand National (too many horses die!). Don't do sweepstakes at work.
    I'd rather save my money instead of throw it away IMHO.
    Best investment has to be comping :)
    If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try - oh bu99er that just cheat :D

    I used to have AMEX card but its not as good as master card or visa - have had problem when travelling overseas using AMEX some shop will not take it.

    Used to have visa when I was with Barclays. Now only use Mastercard.

    I got accepted today so will cancel me Santander credit card when me new card arrives.;) The bad news is they only let me have 4K:eek::eek: (my existing santander is £6k) it's just about enough to cover my next airfare :p
    I agree about AMEX - like I said I only use it for supermarkets for the 1.5%.
    Recently got Halifax Clarity CC for New York trip - no foreign exchange loading or fee - got a great dollar rate on that.
    Rubbish credit limit :eek: - I reduced credit limit on my AMEX to £1k so it didn't affect me if I applied for another card ;)

    I agree they do. One of my pet hates is that people just take and don't even link back to the original poster so they can thank them. :mad::mad::mad:

    The coupon thread has over 355 THOUSAND views, yet MT has only got 99 thanks. Yes I know that many people view it more than once but she hasn't even got 10% thanks for all her work. It doesn't take long to press that button, nowhere nr the amount of time and effort MT puts into it.

    The Following 99 Users Say Thank You to myrtleturtle For This Useful Post: Show me >>

    oops, I have just seen some names that are missing from the list that I am surprised by:eek::eek:

    I'll go to the pub for an hour and maybe MT will have a few more thanks;);)

    I thanked all the first few posts on 24/3 but I'm not showing as having thanked the first post :(

    I don't have a thanks button available and there is no option to remove your thanks in the green box for that post either so presume it's a thread/forum fault rather than my fault:cool:
    :p:p Have a good [STRIKE]Tesc[/STRIKE][STRIKE]Asd[/STRIKE]WHO? day - Err....I still wish Mozzies had a better website even though they are now on MyS! :p:p :rotfl:;)

    Morning all

    Just a quick log in been to asda for normal shop and noticed loads of RTC red and white labels again just like MT was dealing with couple months ago so thought would let you all know. This time was. In snacking isle here are few all atleast half price

    Asda fruit boxes (raisins etc) 6 boxes 40p
    Triple choc peanuts 60p
    Bombay mix big bags 70p ish
    Reggae reggae nut 70p ish
    Planters wasabi nuts
    Plain whole almonds 40p
    Plain whole hazelnuts 40p
    Cheese onion coated peanuts 59p ish
    Branson cheese and pickle nuts 50p ish
    Mixed fruit and nuts

    These are all I can remember but they also had three more shelves that had been emptied but didn't bother reading the labels on those

    Hope may help someone

    Also the glitch on hipp baby food works if anyone needs it compares jars at 89p to mr t 60p but you get 10 for £6 at a to start with

    Phew over and out lol

    CM

    Oh oh oh nearly forgot if going to use the ssm mocs check mysupermarket as asda today had blue yellow and couple other Lenor at £1 so could get free with JTD and fairy fab softener same £1

    Good luck for DS1 tomorrow MT I am sure your cake will be fine - they always are

    Thank you for the ancestry link too, something I will always regret not doing with my mum & dad, now they are both gone. Both sets of my Grandparents are gone too.

    Is it something I could still do on my own?

    I don't like BS products, but I heard that you bought me posh pressy : let me guess (or hint hint) Paco Rob million dollar perfume? Chanel no. 5? YSL? hmmm can't wait for x'mas can I have it now please.:D

    btw, Congrats to your lotto winning xx


    @ MT best of luck to DS1 driving test today. xx


    A lady with expensive tastes:D:rotfl:and no patience:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I adore the BS body butters/scrubs they always smell so nice. But as ordered gift sets will be great as prezzies even better peeps will think I have been very generous for very little cost. Quite often I have used stuff got in BS glitches for teachers prezzies also;). But for this glitch looks like you have to be a very early bird they obviously haven't worked out at their HQ how this works to stop properly:D they just keep trying to stop you ordering the LYB card:rotfl:. Wonder if it will work again tomorrow they put a block on my card processing today but got 2 orders yesterday & 2 today before they blocked it. Just hope they actually get delivered now
