    Yes Charlie, it will be rude of us not to do any shop today.;)

    So far I have collected (after today's final shop) :

    7 cans of cif mousse
    2 Viakal (heard so much praise from you all that I decided to get 2 today)
    2 Mr mustle oven
    3 Buster plughole ( 1 used & I no likey it)
    1 domestos
    2 cif oven

    Thats about it for household. Don't need alot of them like BP since we are not OCC (obsessive compoulsive cleaner:p).


    I also bought other cleaner stuff £1 each for office use & this is a new promotional stuff on its aisle. Will it compare or not we will just have to wait another 2 hrs to find out.

    21 Sep 2012 myparceldelivery

    paid : £14.55 (ex.vat)
    £0.02 tcb bonus
    £2.91 cashback

    I think MPD only pay us once & if we use them for the 2nd dely onward tcb does not pay cashback ( according to users reviews)


    off to ebay now to see what I can get cheap cheap

    Does that include this weeks points? I have just redeemed a £25 tesco card and that leaves me with 80 points in one account and I redeemed a £25 M&S in the other which leaves me with about 85 points in that. I think I might stop doing it now or just see if I get any points from papers from the pub etc. I am not gonna buy the paper anymore.

    From the DM thread

    Not logged on to the website yet but according to the magazine to get a £5 voucher will cost 2000 points - last time you only needed 1500.

    Also to get a £25 voucher is now 9500 points but last time was only 6800 as I was saving up to get this.

    I guess too many people were signing up to the club and it was costing them money.


    I also note that if you enter a code in for Mon-Fri of the same week they give you an extra 50 points so a potential 100 to come during the week and 250 at weekends.


    No haven't entered today's so far.....:o But even if I enter for today and tomorrow, there will be huge balance remaning in my a/c after withdrwing just £10...oh well can't complain as it was nearly free LOL...Many thanks to you for continuing it...;):A Might continue it to use up my balance...

    Hiya Gil,:wave: nice to see you posting here. How are you doing???:AHope you continue posting here...:)

    So before I head to A's for cereal and cleaning shop, just wanted to make sure,

    For Cereal,

    1 ambro 38p one + 2/ 5 cereals + fillers

    For Cleaning, same as above????

    And both are against W???

    Not planning for any other poo/ dental or any other shop. But just incase if I want to get detal, I can combine in the same shop right??? with 2/ 5 items...

    Sorry for too many questions but my head is paining.....:o:eek:
  • well went and did an ordinary shop (strange feeling:rotfl:)

    used 2 APGS highest being £10.10
    1st SA buzzes to ask if she can take it (message back yes cap £15)
    next i was getting my purse out but didn't pick up APG receipts quick enough and Sa starts looking at them:eek:
    notices previous APG use
    says sorry need to check this and buzzes for supervisor again
    who comes over , looks and says yes ok.
    proceeds to say cap now is £15 as theres a glitch in them system

    my reply:
    oh is there:rotfl:

    but got the didtinct impression if APG had been over £15 they would have refused it.
