I do all of my spending on credit cards and try to take advantage of as many credit card offers as possible especially signing up for cards through TCB/Quidco for cashback.

Needs some keeping track of and a good credit score though and DW gets very confused when trying to understand which cards are in current use and which shops each card should be used for!:rotfl:

Sounds like DH.
He has to ask me before he fuels up which of the cards he can use this time to pay on :rotfl:
There's a reason he's not let loose with the shopping

David. The receipt I put in last night for the crsips produced an APG for £6.10 and crisps compared as we wanted them to against M's.
When I put the receipt inthis morning, the crisps are coming up as n/a against M's but the APG is still showing as £6.10...if that makes sense?

Morning everyone. I did an A v M shop also with the crisps last night. I woke up at 11:30 pm input my receipt... Shop compared to M for apg of £4:56.. This morning receipt details on input show n/a against m.. Now against w ... Looks like it was a quick glitch??

I still owe the bank of Dad for my entire new heating system from over a year ago.
Where else can we get interest rates that low when we need them

Whilst on the subject of fillers it reminded me of something that made me laugh yesterday.

One womble I picked up yesterday had 3 items described as Filler and were on offer at 3 for £2.50. Wondered if Mr A had introduced a special range of products to make it easy for us:rotfl::rotfl:

Not a those prices though:eek: Anyone know offhand what they are?

Me too, I live close to Ts but As is a fair trek (but I do go near it every once in a while) so I only make a special journey if the glitch is worth it (the mullers were recently )
I think I remember the 3 for £1 boxes of fruit if you got the same as me. It was those little blackcurrent buttons (looked like jelly tots), we ended up with about 20 boxes in the end and DD took them to school for ages

Yeah, they were the ones Made a great little treat

Glad to hear things are a bit better this morning On the cleaning front - in future if you are tired but still worried about bugs etc, is it worth getting one of the anti bacterial sprays and just squirting a bit around? Minimal effort and plenty of germs killed.

Not sure how effective the sprays are, just thought it might be worth a go. (of course, getting the OH to do it is a much better option )

One of my BS orders has just arrived complete, the one with the gift sets got cancelled so there is just one outstanding. Wonder what will turn up

I use Milton sterilising fluid diluted in a trigger bottle instead of anti bac cleaners. It's cheaper and it's the best cure for my OCD fear of germs and bugs

Maybe those sandwich filler type chilled tubs; Chicken and sweetcorn, Tuna mayo and the like? Sound a bit pricey though :eek:

I did initially think polyfilla but that'd be nasty in sandwiches
