  • I forgot to say my £10 Argos voucher from sun perks arrived today :j the hubby received an email confirming his £20 tesco voucher (from 10ways offer) would be coming soon as well. Well happy :T

    I also picked up some lizzie shaw and more yogurts today. I used mountains of T's coupons :D, free biscuits, £1.30 off anchor, extra points on cheese etc. the cashier was very impressed :D

    I was really happy with everything till I walked outside and found my bike with a flat tire:(. I had to catch the bus (after a 20 minute wait)
    I was having pants day anyway so that really topped off my morning

    My very lovely but complete Pratt of a husband went out last night for a friends birthday. He in his infinite wisdom decided it was a good idea to bring them all home with him at 2am. I wasn't shy about telling them to all sod off. (I wasn't as polite as that:D) he is now in my bad books, and I am absolutely shattered.

    I'll have to keep a look out for those, thanx for that :)
    I never shop in Ms as I nearly always hit As or Ts so I may just blow the voucher on some bits I'd never normally buy :D
    Luckily Ms is only a couple of miles away so I can poop in next week :j

    Can you use them to buy branded store cards? (And get money off fuel in the process )

    Oooooh that is genius! :T
    It doesn't say anywhere on it, it can't be used to buy GCs :D
    Actually it doesn't really say a lot on it at all :)
