    Just been to mr T's Brigh**se emporium and found the nik naks. They are 52p and bogof but there is no shelf edge label. Got 8 packets but left plenty for anyone else.
    Does anybody want to swap a packet for an olympic torch ?

    Just remembered I've got a fuel coupon that expires today
    Anyone know if the petrol kiosks close at 4 as well?

    The petrol station in my local extra is 24 hours, after a certain time you have to pay at the pump, think it might be 11pm. I guess you couldn't use the 5p off at the pump I'm not sure but you should be able to use it from 4pm to 11pm IYSWIM.

    Do bear in mind though you only get about 75p off in a £20 spend on petrol so it might not be worth going unless you live next door - and if you do - I'm so jealous!!

    in most [STRIKE]some[/STRIKE] cases it means picking up a odd discarded till reicept in the hope of a few extra clubcard point or just the diffence.

    i say most cases, a few people have gone to the extreme and nicked the whole bin :eek:

    Oh no what a shame my £4.50 is expiring first on 30th June :(

    Thank you for you help :A

    Dohhhh I hate letting cond spends go to waste but all my plans are failing :p:o:(

    I'm such a novice!!! :o:o:o:o


    I don't know if this has been answered yet, but as you don't have enough to double up, and you don't seem to want to spend it on something specific...
    Why don't you look at exchanging for a voucher (any will do) for instance exchange £2.50 for a restaurant voucher. The remaining £2 will go back on your account as points. You'll get them in the next statement. Then when your restaurant vouchers arrive you can send them back to get the £2.50 reinstated, again you'll get them in the next statement.
    I admit it's a bit of a faff, but you'll not miss out on your points, as when they come in August they will have a 2 year expiry date and you've got plenty time to choose.

    It's only a game

    Nice to read your updates 3Dogs, I have missed those! Sending hugs your way, you are doing a brilliant job, you have my utmost respect.

    Thanks for the info Celebrate RE batteries, trying to avoid DTD in there plus have a few batteries left over from the last glitch. Most of the CS aren't too bad but yes there are a few that can be very very scary, and without sounding awful they are the ahem older ladies!

    Feels strange walking round tesco and not having a clue what to look for beside what I actually want to buy haha :)

    Everything will be ok in the end, and if it isn't ok then it isn't the end :)
