Drumroll: the car is fixed :j

Good stuff! I must admit, I cheat on pastry - I use a crumble whenever I can :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Well done on the cooking and the clothes and the car. I've not mastered quiche yet so I'm impressed, I make a mean chocolate brownie though

Quiche sounds good, do you have a recipe?

Glad to hear your car is back on the road.

The car is grateful for all the well-wishers on here Havent actually chanced driving it yet in case there is something else up. Saving that for the weekend.

In financial news I got an email from nectar - was about to bin it when I checked my points - I linked a business account to the scheme and discovered I have just shy of £200 worth of points. This has been building up for some time.
If only there was something I wanted to buy! All this decluttering means there isn't much I actually want that is available from ArgOs which seems the only place I can spend the points!

Can't you just use the nectar points for buying groceries at Sainsburys?

Will have to look it up (quiche). No idea what it'll turn out like with me having ... probably into a joint effort between my wife and I. :rotfl:

You can indeed use Nectar in Sainsburys. In true tight northerner style, we use our Nectar points to buy food for Christmas food hampers which we send to in-laws etc as gifts. Probably sounds a rather rubbish gift but they are the type of people who won't have a piece of chocolate all year, so it seems to work very well.

The food is probably the best plan but I will be nice to Mr Watty first. A quick check of the website means I am going to ask Mr Watty if he would like to replace the upstairs TV. I never watched it so happily used it for the CCTV system but Mr Watty did. He has never minded, but, if we can replace it for free it might be a nice gesture on my part to find out if he would like to (especially as we have just over £300, I made a mistake on earlier post).
I think food is the best plan as I could just switch that money to the overpayment pot - but - it is a bonus freebie as it were and I will be nice first

Definitely the food - that was a great job to link the business account, by the way - just shows how this builds up
