    Did everyone else already know that quidco has loads of places you can upload a receipt for cashback (like Bodysh0p, Fragranc3 Shop)?

    Some of them are also on Snapnsave :money:

    https://www.quidco.com/in-store-cashback/

    I always thought the "in-store cashback" was all done through registered cards

    But in store cash back wouldn't pick up the payments made with vouchers/ phone offers etc - learning from you!

    I am very worried.

    OH said this morning the smell is mainly in the front bedrooms which is no help as we have one of the boys home for Christmas this week.

    So I am going to open wide all the windows upstairs today to give it a good blow through and then no one can say its residual smell - so the house will be freezing today.

    This is just the latest of a very long line of minor irritating problems we have had with this neighbour. basically he is a person who does not realise he is sharing the planet with anyone else.

    Mostly its things that you can just get used to and ignore eg very bad music payed too load (one brick walls) the dryer running for hours on end most nights, the dog tied to a string outside on nice days yapping away for hours and spoiling the quiet, walking around the garden in his dressing gown, the huge car parked outside so its hard to get off the drive, the bonfires of paper and the burnt smell when you have a nice summery day ....
    Others a bit more annoying like the dog running onto our garden and frightening the cat or leaving poo, the endless succession of parcel vans - I won't take in parcels now, won't be used as an unpaid parcel depot.
    And now the paraffin heater burning at night.

    Do you own or rent? Maybe you or your landlord could consider improving the wall. You can internally clad walls, that would improve heat retention and noise.

    I am sorry to hear this, I would phone my local fire station and tell them of your concerns, I am sure they will help. The neighbour sounds like a complete D... and I wouldn't give him a second thought. But very easy for me to say I know, and I really hope your situation improves.

    :)

    Been to Ts & bought a red Samsung Galaxy tab 3 for £99. I was only one there :eek: Lovely SA got all 3 colours out for me to choose from.

    Piles of the £19 Senseo & the Samsung 39" TV but no customers.

    Then went to Drs for 8.30am fasting blood test

    Then to Argos to pick up the divine Winnie The Pooh dog bed for £5.99

    At last I'm home & shattered :o
