    Hi
    When I go to Ts or As I have to pass a nice wee coffee shop and this is what they sell...just lovely with loads of squirty cream on top.

    So, it costs me petrol and coffee every time I go glitching!!


    Really, I didn't know they sell it. I thought it was a specialist products. Yes my sis, BIL & their 3 boys love to make coffee from the coffee machine & squirt cream with decoration on it. They all went for the course on how to make coffee:rotfl:

    That will save me from using my amazon codes. Even cheaper if I can get it from supermarket.

    oops I think I read it wrongly. You are talking about ready make coffer from the cafe. I thought you were talking about the coffee beans.:rotfl:

    Hi Everyone :)

    Just dropped in for a catch up.

    Couple of things which you probably all know about already:

    1) M & S are giving out £5 vouchers if you take in any old shoes or handbags as part of their Shwop scheme;



    Had to buy some shoes anyway and also had 20% off voucher and £12 credit card vouchers :j


    2) You can use Nectar points in Sainsbobs to pay for gift cards.




    Night All :wave:


    Hi
    I've just applied for a M&S credit card ( 15mths free spending...I will be wise!!!). Now what I am wondering is - will I receive vchs for my spending on the card?

    Thanks all'

    How about debenhams store card? apply for it & you get £20 voucher to use.

    http://finance.debenhams.com/cards/store-card/benefits/

    Yesterday we went to Debs, I pick to cuff links from the designer store, went to pay it using £20 voucher (to be use in conjunction with the store card) and my debs gift card.

    Cashier : That will be £36 please
    Me : Here you go I have this £20 voucher. And can you deduct the rest from my giftcard please.
    Cashier : err, I am sorry I can't.
    Me : Why
    Cashier : You have to pay the balance using store card.
    Me : Ok, I tell you what. Void my transaction and I'll pay separately.

    I was about to choose wrapping paper £3 each or 3 for 2.

    Cashier : No, its alright, I can over-ride it for you.
    Me : Oh ok ;)

    Now that I have used up the voucher, the card can stay at home its not coming out with me. Me use sada money card with cashback.
