    Good morning everyone:)


    Reading through the weekly email noticed this for Amex cardholders(if you live in/near London anyway) spend £50 in London on your Amex get £25 back

    http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/news/shopping/2012/11/amex-offers-25-off-big-london-purchases-this-weekend

    Not sure if any good for jeferey or BL as dependant on being near London
    No good for me I'm afraid - I live 'oop North. But that offer isn't so good, you actually have to spend some of your own money ;). I am enjoying the Shop Small though - £60 of free stuff so far and still got the rest of the month to go :D

    Morning all :)
    If at first you don't succeed, try, try, try - oh bu99er that just cheat :D

    How are you finding the small shops Jeferey? TBH all its confirming to me is that little shops are very, very expensive. Tried a men's clothes shop yesterday but it was £10 for a pair of socks and £50 for a bog standard, should be £5, T-shirt. Left that one empty handed.
    "Bought" a Yazoo in a cafe yesterday and it was 12 days past its use by date :eek: - good job I checked while in there.
    Got a lovely bracelet for DD yesterday. It was such a funny little shop - there was only me and one other customer and the owner but it was soooooo narrow we kept bumping into each other :rotfl::rotfl:

    Me put linky on my post - here it is again: linky - just put in your postcode and also anywhere you are going to as well.
    I've been to 2 x florists twice (me have 2 cards - £5 on each :D) - me in good books with OH
    I've been to a jewellers - lovely bracelet for OH - paid for over 2 cards
    I've been to butchers - had some of the lamb steaks last night - excellent. He got me £10 worth and split shop over my 2 cards :D
    I've been for a meal at our local - food on 1 card, puds on other - another £10
    etc.

    I did go in one shop that had loads of posh pictures - way over my £5 or £10 budget but that's been only one I've tried so far I've been empty handed.

    Good luck!

    Lol - I meant finding as in experiencing!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Someone else is doing it in my town - store owner told me yesterday a lady bought a £25 necklace and "paid" for it with 5 cards!!

    Jeff - do you and your OH have separate accounts or are they on the same account?
