The ELITE Eggstra Easter thread

Imdebtfree

spending my day off playing bingo...
dyed my hair, using loreal color creme - unfortunately a full price one i bought ages ago. Will hopefully get to sada later to see if they have any reduced ones.
Hoping DSS1 may be discharged from tomorrow after Fridays emergency appendix op. I've not been allowed to visit him due to OH's ex's paranoia which made me very upset at the weekend when he was really ill, but i've spoken to him on the phone and now i know hes on the mend i can wait til the weekend when he'll be staying with us anyway! (so long as he's out...)
We had thought about me going to visit anyway without her agreement, but it would be the boy who gets the grief, and its not fair on him, even though he kept asking where i was. OH has spent every night this week sleeping at the hospital so we have barely seen each other this week, but going for an indian buffet this eve, with DSS2, as a special treat for him. DSS1 has nut allergy, so DSS2 doesnt get to go out for meals very often, OH can then give him back to his mum at the hospital later.

Bingo got 98p left... dont think i'm going to repeat the success of many of the Elite :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

May I ask - Is there a limit on how many Tesco CC vouchers you can turn into Avios? Is it a good return?

Say if you could get £100 of CC points for £65 what would that work out at pence per Avios please?

AFAIK it's unlimited by Avios so that would be 30K T CC points per period (T's limit).

Conversion rate matters in answering your second point.

Normally £2.50 in T = 600 Avios. Therefore £100/2.50 x 600 = 24,000 Avios @ your £65 cost = 0.2708333p/ Avios point (very good).

But there have been two bonus exchange periods so far, one at £2.50 T = 900 A, one at £2.50 =1000 A.

Using 1000 bonus rate, this gives £100/2.50 x 1000 = 40,000 Avios. @ your £65 cost = 0.1625p/ Avios (excellent).

Feel free to PM me with the method of turning £65 into £100 T

And yes - we Avios bods are all waiting for the next bonus conversion period with T points just sitting there unconverted. Currently Virgin Airmiles is on bonus, as soon as that finishes it'll probably be Avios' turn again.

Always wear your reading glasses

A few weeks ago while shopping in Iceland I noticed they had for sale fish in Parsley sauce £1 for a packet of 4, which I thought, was a fantastic bargain so I bought 3

Last night I decided to have mashed potato, peas and carrots and the fish I always have two so once cooked I snip the corner to pour the parsley sauce over the veg then complete the cut and put the fish at the side I have two because I then have a good covering of parsley sauce and of course more fish

Well to my horror when I snipped the packet and poured the parsley sauce over the veg I fully cut the packet and there was no fish and this happened with the two of them I thought maybe the fish had disintegrated into the sauce anyway I ate my meal and realized there was no fish.

So first of all I am fuming thinking that was no bargain I have been stitched up then revenge came into my mind I thought Watchdog then vouchers popped into my mind if I informed Iceland what had happened I may have an apology and some free vouchers as compensation.

So I wrote an email to Iceland which I must admit was an understanding email just saying it was probably a production fault and I don’t hold to store to blame but I would like to be compensated for the inconvenience so I went to my freezer to get the barcode number with my reading glasses on and this is what I saw
4 individual packs of Parsley Sauce just add to your favourite fish!
WELL I ROARED LAUGHING

Lol. My wife done this a few weeks ago.
She didn't write an email though!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

On my phone so can't add links but look at the sanex zero shower gels.... On sada website it says they are 2 for £3...but on msm it shows them not on offer but £2.20 each... Therefore if it did worked and compared with sainsbobs ...then the two products would give you a return of £2.22 plus 10% on a £3 spend ... To add this has NOT been confirmed xxx

I agree with this one, we hired a skip once and next door were having their house decorated the cheeky decorator just dumped all his old tins of paint in our skip. I was more annoyed that he didnt ask, I would have said yes but he just did it. Skip hire is sooo expensive

We had a skip outside once and happened to be looking out of the window in the middle of the night as you do lol and saw someone who lives at the top of the cul de sac come merrily down wheeling a wheelbarrow, dumped all the stuff in our skip then merrily went back home again. Job done, Cheeky Bu@@er.

This made me laugh a few months ago I bought some apple and blackcurrant juice which didnt taste right after trying it quite a few times (half a 2.5 litre bottle lol) and even asking the kids to try it we all agreed it didnt taste normal so I rang Robinsons and they couldnt appoligise enough she asked me to read out the codes on the bottle and it wasnt until I turned it round again I noticed that it was actually summer fruits :rotfl:

No offer on Mullers showing for me on MSM signed in or out. My bet is these are going to work, but can not try until tonight when hubby comes home with the car.

a few years ago a friend of mine, newly married, made a batch of individual pies and put them in the freezer. they included some with apples from their tree and some meat pies.....

New hubby was well impressed with his apple pie, mash and gravy :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
