Perfect, thanks Aesop!

Almost a no spend day for me today, but someone on Facebook was selling a couple of the packs of nappies that DS2 is in, unopened, for £1.25 each I usually wait until they are on offer at Boots, usually 2 for £12 ish, and then I get discount off that, but still only about 1/4 of what I would have paid - and they were unopened, just that she'd stocked up on too many and her baby had grown out of them. So very pleased with that, and was well worth breaking my NSD for - particularly as she was only a 2 min walk away

Finally got around to closing my old savings acc and ISA with Halifax... sum total of £10.55!

And stopped my Equifax which had been costing £2.99 per month.

Hi Aesop, I thought I read somewhere that the gift vouchers automatically come off your next eligible purchase? I haven't added my vouchers to my account as one is a gift and I want to use it for something special (once I think of something), and not accidentally use it up on a gift for someone else (as that's mainly what I use Amazon for).

So can you, in your experience, definitely add vouchers to your account but then not use them on your next purchase??? I.e. keep them stored up?

Thanks - sorry, always asking you questions! :rotfl:

It does say you will be offered whether to you want to use them.
But as I am only new to collecting like this, I'll leave the definitive answer to others.
£10.08 to add from the shopping. Must find the receipts for the previous two weeks... Getting it delivered is saving us so much money - the DH can't put anything extra in the trolley and he can't spend hours reading the magazines if he's not actually in the store. He might actually get some house work done

don't worry about asking questions, it is good to ask, you don't know how many people might be lurking thinking the same thing

Yes, when you go to buy something, it will say to you, something like using your gift card/vouchers as part payment/full payment.

But if you add another payment method, ie debit card, you can select debit card, and it will not touch your vouchers.

In fact I have 2 accounts set up. One for my gift vouchers as I am saving for a kindle, and the other with my debit card details. It saves me accidentally using my gift cards. But you need another email address.

It's my lucky day, lol. I just won £5 on Fab's Daily Pleasures, I then played two Bingo games in Paris to enable me to keep playing it (you have to have played £2 within the last week to play), I spent £3 on the games and won £3.05 back on the last game I'll not add anything until I withdraw, not sure when that will be, I've been keeping the account mulling over since the big craze when we all signed up. I withdrew everything at the time, but have been playing the free game, and the occasional bit of bingo and chat games - I now have £35 in there.

I've also got my two SP sausages! :j:j:j One is my mum, and the other must be from the sausage board. Would love to thank her, but haven't got a clue who it is, lol, as they haven't left their sausage on the board yet.

I have another little SP question - why does it tell me that I've got more friends than I have? I've got 2 friends but it says I have 5 - It says I've got 4 friends 1 degree away (i.e my friends), and one 2 degrees away. I definitely haven't got 4 referrals as only two show up, and I was under the impression that you can't have 'friends' only people linked to you through sausages?

I also saved myself £15.58 yesterday. We had to buy a new Xbox controller, then ended up nipping to a friends house on the way back - he told me that I wouldn't need a whole new controller, and that I could get away with just buying a charger thingy. I managed to find a cheap one, and it worked! So could take the controller back. I'd thinking about buying a charger anyway, so I'm pretty happy with that. It's got two in the pack, so I can charge both controllers at the same time

ok, will try to explain this to you, this is my account

my network shows as 25 friends. I don't have 25 friends on superpoints

this is how it is made up:

my actual friends are 9 - 1 degree away.

this means they are 1 step away from me.

then one on my friends has 8 friends in her network - 2 degrees away

so these are 2 steps away from me, so they are added to my friend network.
(although this doesn't look right at the moment. I know one had several people signed up, it now shows only 1 signed up. )

Then in my friend's friend's network - they have another 8 signed up under them, so they are 3 degrees away

so 3 steps away, I have another 8 friends....:rotfl:

now katied-d who I signed up under shows as having xxx in her extended network. which means the people who signed up under her, have people signed up under them, which is all added to her network.

confused? :rotfl:


hmm reread your post, even people who don't fill in a basic profile show on your network. it shows their name and puts level none.

Unless 2 more people used your referral to sign up and then decided not to complete anything?
