    What a cow! Everyone deserves a treat no matter what your circumstances. I hate that attitude. 'Them'. Honestly. That could be any of us with a bit of bad luck :mad:

    Anyway :) I made myself this wonderfulness for lunch

    A reduced warburtons brown wrap, tomato, (slightly caramelised) red onion, spinach and goats cheese. Heaven!

    The wrap goes really crispy and makes an excellent 'pizza' base

    Thanks Llovelies.

    Fourp & his brother are resigned to the fact that Mrs Fourp will die soon.
    She is just wasting away before their eyes :(

    He wishes it was sooner & quicker for her ♥

    Such a long drawn out ghastly time in all their lives

    Here's hoping it isn't drawn out much longer for poor Mrs Fourp and you all :(

    I'm so sorry. Lots of love xxx

    We had a mouse :(

    The contents of my chocolate and biscuit cupboard had to be trashed. :angry:

    Plus a pest control bill.

    Can't find definite entry point, which is worrying.

    How much damage has been done.


    You can buy bait from DIY shop. Clear out cupboard of food and anything from the floor. Wear gloves and put bait in tray.

    Leave overnight. Check in morning. You will be able to see if bait eaten.

    Make sure you wear gloves and there are no pets to eat bait.

    I don t have a bpca certificate but our pest control company report to me every week and I am responsible for resolving issues for our company.

    Live update from my morries - staff had been told to.take down points from fox's biscuits as I was getting mine. Going through till now- will update if works still in 5 mins :-)

    I bought 10 packs about half an hour ago lol and a couple of other things , silly Susie forgot to spend £15 though. So I went to the cs desk and said I want ed to give them back as I forgot I needed to spend £15 for the m & m to work. My spend was £12.29.

    She said you haven t seen it on facebook have you where they pay 69p for loads of fox s biscuits . I said no because I hadn t lol. So she had the mither of refunding them all while I dashed back for 3 £1 packs of butter. Then she did it all again for me. FairPlay to her she was fine about it . :)

    At SS tills the M&M vouchers come out of that little unit on top of the till, not from where the receipt comes out; watch out for the little amber light to start flashing after the 'Please take your receipt and change' message (and while holding out your hands whispering 'Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!' - that helps too:D)

    ... and if you have done a few biscuit shops, get ready to catch the vouchers as it can be like one of those prize machines at the seaside :eek: :cool:.

    If you have fixed your energy tariff and have some time to go before it runs out (or even a few months), it is still worth checking your tariff now using the MSE Cheap Energy Club (and check other comparison sites too). There have been significant changes in tariffs for new customers (greater savings than the announced cuts over recent weeks). I was on a First Utility fix which doesn't run out until the end of April, but the projected savings with the S Discount Fixed Tariff February 2016 of £360ish for our use (only on MSE Big Switch - the S Fix on other comparison sites is slightly more expensive) make it more than sensible for me to pay the £60 exit penalty (offset with the £30 MSE cashback) and switch now.

    Sometimes it makes sense to pay an exit penalty (from energy, or mortgage) for greater savings.

    I totally agree regarding mortgages. My son s 7 years into a 10 year fixed but fixed at 5.9 :eek: with a £5,000 fee for finishing early. I can see his point for staying with them till the end of it but I can t help thinking he could get another deal cheaper even with this £5,000 penalty. I don't know for sure though.:o

    Did my first biccy shop this morning (thanks AAU for the lists).
    Shopped at about 11.15am, and 20500 points were showing on the app around 12.30pm.

    Can you buy something cheap to get the voucher as soon as the points are showing on the app?

    Yes a 7p banana . That's what I buy to get the vouchers, then go round and do my shop then.
