First attempt at an APG shop tonight. I think I got a couple of fillers wrong, but got a wee APG anyway.

APG for £3.84. I paid using some previous APG vouchers, so cash cost would be £1.22 once I take off the APG.
Not bad for my first attempt!0 -
I just wanted to share my good news. My mum is 100 today & we've had a wonderful day with her. She's in a nursing home but we were given exclusive use of a lovely lounge, which I decorated. We had lunch, courtesy of the home & then a party for the wider family at tea time. Wonderful food from M&S, glitchy Martini Asti & 2 beautiful cakes. It was a day to remember x
Congrats, salutations and well done to your mum. Hope I get to 100 and have someone who will bring me cake and wine :T:D
Even if I have to have it through a straw and it hurts my gums coz I've got no teeth

Somehow though I think my liver would have given up long before then...Hic ! Hic ! :beer:0 -

I haven't done any of these cash back shops for ages and could kick myself at how much I could have been making from wombles
In about half an hour I've "made" nearly £8 including £1.80 on Q from Carling.
I am such a nugget:mad:
I wouldn't care but I never even womble at T's and today there must have been a dozen long receipts I could have picked up:o
