    Gorgeous doggie. Is he a cockapoo. Looks like my Tessa. She also loves to throw cushions from the chairs and then jumps on said chair :rotfl:

    voted. I think you're looking into it too much :o- could just be that the owner of Kruso is doing exactly what you are doing - by putting requests out for FB votes etc. (plus Kruso does look cute in his glasses:p). He has over 6,000 votes and Daphne isn't too far behind. Third place is way behind at 1,100..

    Yeah think maybe you're right :o
    Sun shining now. Need to get off this computer and take Tessa for a nice long walk :D

    Sunshine stacey has come up trumps again... I've just bought mum's Xmas present:j :santa2::xmassign: She will absolutely cry bucket loads when I tell her on Chrsitmas morning. I'm taking her to Reykjavik and hoping we get to see the Northern Lights. She's wanted to do it for years and years. We've got 4 nights (in the cold and dark :cool:) to see them.... :rotfl:

    So that's 6 months that i have to keep a secret ;)
    Tiger :cool:

    Morning all.


    I use germolene on splinters - put on overnight and should be easy to remove in the morning (and has the added bonus of smelling nice!!)


    Good news chez hornets. All being well, this young lady will be coming to live with us in her forever home in a couple of weeks time :)

    Aaaw yes. Can see now that he is a bit bigger than the average cockapoo. However saying that I know a Harley that is training to be a hearing dog and is a cockapoo but it so big he gets mistaken for a labradoodle :)

    Given my dh's negative attitude to the time I spend trying to shop the Elite way already, I'd also be grateful for answers to a few other questions on this topic:
    Does everyone find ST, VS & CoS are really worth doing?
    How much do you save via them in an average month v how long does it take to do?

    Hi Nenen,
    I've only recently started doing this. I have only used it for stuff I would buy anyway so not really considered glitches etc.
    I usually look at the offers, make a list of what I'd buy with the amount back and which app, then I look at mysupermarket to see where to get them.
    I am fortunate in that all the biggies are within 10 mins of me so it's not a hassle. I then double check that the cheapest is the one with the offer and do my shopping.
    The only one I've done recently that was above and beyond as it were was a treat run as there were some great deals on snack stuff and they were all cheap in Ms. So I got crisps, biscuits etc for a couple of quid after savings, total spend about 10. My dh was happy with that as I normally only buy junk if I have money left. 😊
    Clicksnap -the quidco one, is the one I find easiest and best paying. It is easy to use and you can do online or receipts. Shoptize seems to be the next best, imo.

    As for clicksnap problems, they are super slow at replying to emails. I sent an enquiry on 28th May and only just received a reply which is fairly useless as the offer has expired! But they are good for tracking, payment and range of offers I think.

    As for amount, with CS I've been doing it for 2 months and received 27 and just waiting on confirmation of one receipt. Bearing in mind it's all on stuff I would buy usually, I think I've done well. 😀
    Hth.

    Hello everyone, please help!

    Does anyone have the friends and family discount coupon from IKEA (staff coupon) (15% off ) as I am getting a new kitchen .
    I think the card is given to employees every 4 months to give it to friends and family.
    Please help!
    Your help will be very much appreciated.
    Thanks.
