    Is it everybody's birthday this weekend?

    Bloomin Sagittarians:)

    I'm one too.:) mines Tuesday.
  • OK I've done my shop and only managed the desserts in Sains as they didn't carry any of the hair stuff & we don't drink.

    However for those of you that do I've added a few items.

    I spent £23.08 - £20 double up Nectar + a £3 off £20 shop. Had to rush to get a moam bar to go with my whoopsies otherwise would have been less than £23. I spent 8p in hard cash:j
    OK I bought 4 Ben & Jerry + 1 magnum =£21 to use the £20 voucher. Got some excellent whoopsies too and had a BM for £9.04 back. Therefore my £10 of Nectar points predoubling turned into a shop that cost me pence for actually about £30 of shopping.
    The hair deals could work out even better IF your shop has them!

    How to turn your worthless (almost) Nectar points into BM - losing little & buying yourself some treats - for almost free!
    I've got a shed load (£130 quid!) of Nectar points & am really disappointed that I can only spend £20 doubled up in 4 categories. Don't drink so that leaves me 3 categories.
    Just got to thinking about brand match & wondered if it's possible to get your spend back? It virtually is!
