Thanks for this mhoc. I've just done this :beer:

Can't believe the credit limit they gave me though :eek:

PTS is new website to me so I'll be obsessing over that one as well now

Back in the good old days of huge amounts of freely available clubcard points and being able to use any coupon even if you didn't buy the product it was a fantastic website, and I was on there multiple times a day (a bit like here now!). Now its very slow, although I do still check in at least daily.

Its a lot smaller than mse, so easier not to miss things, and there is a lot of good advice on there in regards to avios, credit card points etc. The owner of the head for points website is a regular poster on PTS, and was on there long before he started his own website. He is really helpful and I have pm'd him quite a few times in regards to my upcoming holiday in terms of questions about avios, business class, lounges etc.

Not sure if anyone has posted this from HUKD
http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/ariel-clean-compact-liquid-asda-2204231
Ariel £1 RTC, I think it is 24 washes, full price shows as £3.97, best compares against !!!!!! 3 for £10, works out a net 3p per bottle, needs to be confirmed though.

I checked out an ariel earlier in week I had read on here scanning £1 think it was same one you and David. have mentioned today but it scanned £3.97.

I have written on my little scrap paper I took with me ariel clean & compact 1200ml, looks like one on hukd.

Your card has been declined. Come on, up you get.

Labour took it all on buy now pay later.

Now we have to pay it back with interest.

Basic business. The Uk is a business after all.

Now can everyone just get back to normality.

You know that I only have to say "wombles are useless", and then the next one offers quite alright.

It's very item that I thought would lose has done it:

6 x Total 0% Fat Authentic Greek Yogurt (170g)£6.00£4.50

£1 yogurts - I thought it would be the immediate fail but, no, it's helped - even if it's vs Sains:rotfl:!

Savvy you are well loved and your post are very detailed but I posted about cadbury bars then other day and you missed it x

1. We have a first past the post voting system - everyone standing for election stood on this basis. Everyone voting voted on this basis. They are the rules, the result is the result whether you agree with it or it went your way, or not.
2. If people are not happy with the results, get more people to support and vote for the manifestos for the other parties and they will then be more likely to be voted in.
3. Given the opportunity, the British electorate voted to keep the existing voting system and rejected the proposed alternative. If you didn't vote to keep the current system, the majority did as they were not convinced by the alternative.
4. I thought we were moving on!

Just because everyone else is talking Politics, I will throw a few thoughts of my own in too:

Look at all the election results over the last 40 years at least ...

NO PARTY has ever got more than 50% of the vote - the highest is 42/43%. So you could say that in EVERY election, the 'winning' party was NOT wanted by the majority of the electorate - including every Labour government elected.

The 1997 Labour "landslide" - 57% of the electorate did NOT want Labour. They got 40% more votes, but got 2 1/2 times the seats (compared to the Tories).

So let us not be selective about voting results and seats - it works both ways.

If we had Proportional Representation, you would still have a 'ruling' party that most people did not want (in the first instance), but it would most likely be less stable, as you would always need some form of coalition.

Having First Past the Post at least gives relative stability, especially with a majority of seats. It allows a clear period to put in place policies, and see if they work or not. If they don't, then just vote that party out at the next election.

If we had PR, then the SNP would have very few seats, and UKIP would have loads - twice as many as SNP, more than the LibDems, and just under half of Labour.


And finally, forget all the fancy theories - a basic economic fact is surely that you can't go on spending more than you earn, by borrowing and borrowing. No different at Household level, Company level or Country level. Eventually you will go bust.

The fact is, to have a generous Welfare State costs money, and if no-one is paying into it, bar a few 'rich' people, it will fail. Surely Welfare should be for the poorest few only, that really can't afford the basics, not for so many that seems to be the case now. Poverty is relative - we really don't have the slums and poverty of 50 / 60 years ago or more. And Poverty does NOT mean not having flat screen TV's and mobile phones, or enough money for 40 cigarettes a day. Basic sensible household economics could sort a lot of issues (not all of course ... ). But the fundamental fact is that work and earning should be the aim and the norm, not benefits.

And the world we live in is such that success breeds wealth, and that pays for all the things we all want. If you discourage success, where is the wealth going to be generated from that pays for all these 'free' things you want ?

If you stifle success, by taxing it out of existance, you will have no growth, and no success.

Despite what they say, Government DON'T create real jobs (and I don't mean Civil Service jobs that create and produce NOTHING, just a cost to the country). Only businesses do, from Self Employed, through Micro, SME and big Corporations. Stifle those, and the economy will not thrive.

There will always be 'Fat Cats' - but I see no-one calling for the 'Fat Cats' of Sports (eg overpaid, underworked footballers, paying little tax probably ??) or entertainment (overpaid self-engrosed 'Celebrities', also avoiding tax ?) being called to task - actually, they are worshiped by most of the country. So let's not have one opinion for one and one for another.

No doubt some of my comments and opinions will get slated. So be it - we all have the right to an opinion in this country - but you can't say the same in some countries, where there is genuine poverty and suffering (even though there is often great wealth and resources, just that it is kept by corrupt ruling groups).


Anyway, a few things to ponder over, so off my soap box now ... .
