    Morning everyone have you missed me, I've been in Norway for a week :)

    Please can someone catch me up :j something must have happened as we are on a new thread again!

    Nothing much seems to have happened. I've looked at the MOC thread, newspapers, mags, grabbits, freebies - nothing earth shattering.

    I checked my Topcashback and Times went to paid :T so I converted it already to CC points :D
    All of my !!!!!! mailings arrived but I've yet to contrive a list using all of the vouchers - that should be fun :rotfl:

    What else - I had a dispatched email from the telegraph rituals offer, no idea if it has arrived and is at one of the neighbours, try and chase it up on Tuesday

    Also 2 letters from the tax man - I was a very good girl and completed and posted the short tax form a couple of weeks ago. As suspected our tax code was wrong so HRRC have sent a new code plus the second letter was the workings out and we have overpaid over £3 hundred :T - I gave the bank details so possibly this will come back as a cheque

    We were paying an extra £40 a month in tax which didn't make any sense - have to see what happens next pay day.

    My head is full of cotton wool and will be for days yet.

    I was at his speech therapy session on thurs. Within the space on 3 minutes he had rammed his finger up his nose, stuck his hand down the front of his trousers whilst sitting back in his chair going "ahhhhh" he then stood up and scratched his bum shouting "my bums itchy" then proclaimed loudly that he had a booger stuck on his finger :eek::rotfl:
    It's never dull here :D:rotfl:

    Morning. Can I ask about the 3V visa cards, please. Are they treated like credit cards when you spend them? Just wondering if I can use them when there is a charge for credit cards, like flights or tax disc for car and whether it would incur a charge? TIA

    Treated as a debit card so no charges generally. However, not everywhere will accept them as they have lots of restrictions.

    Good morning. I wonder how many of us are having M&S chickens for Sunday lunch?? Mine is from January out of the freezer as have not done a shop yet.
    think i may have to go get another chicken from m7s & use 1 of my cheap paxo's from a's :D i'd have to do with yorkshire puddings & special gravy (turkey gravy with cranberry sauce in it) as that's DS3's favourite :rotfl:

    Thanks.

    Found this on their site, but obviously not strictly true then!

    What is 3V?

    3V is the easy way to get a prepaid Visa number for online shopping. All you need to do is purchase a 3V Activation Code to the value you want and then enter it on this site to view your unique 3V Prepaid Visa Number. You can then use this Visa number to make purchases anywhere online that accepts Visa. It's that simple.


    Tempted to get some to boost my points, but doesn't sound straightforward spending them. Is there also some issue about having to spend the full amount at once, too?
