    just checked the nectar accounts - still a bit soon for any additional points :(

    But its worth checking the bonus points list as there are new things that need activating.
    Mine has a link for inputting your insurance renewal dates for 100 points - I've done this before so I don't know if you get them again if you change your dates???
    Also a virgin trains comp which just needed activation to enter.
    There was also a link for Sainsburys life insurance - if you apply after 5 months you get £70 of sainsburys vouchers. I went through the quote for £5 a month for one year term so that's £60 over the year. The questions they ask though are very searching but don't let it put you off, you should still get some sort of cover for £5 a month :D

    On both OHs and mine we both got the extra 100 points for buying anything in Sainsburys local - a lot of people got this last week so I thought we had missed out this time so don't give up hope yet.

    RL a bit overwhelming at present so sorry not to post. Thinking of all those struggling with ill health.

    It's worth complaining. I've just had a letter from Virgin trains with £100 :eek::eek: worth of vouchers in it! The funny thing is that I can't remember what on earth I complained about...

    Is it from a complaint or maybe its a competition win? Or were you on a delayed train and did you fill in a form?

    Check your nectar account - there is a Virgin trains sale about to start and nectar accounts get early access :D

    AJ :wave: Have you been for your drive yet? ;)

    I've been and have been diagnosed with bronchitis. :o

    Been given a steroid inhaler now, pharmacist told me the type I have been given is new on the market and very effective, can't remember the word he used but got the impression not cheap or prescribed often. :eek:

    Fingers crossed this knocks it on the head, Dodo came round earlier and I got out of puff just chatting to her. :rotfl:

    She went off with some loo rolls and suncream. :D She has been slacking. :whistle:

    Bet your pleased bubbs and I pestered you to go back to doc :D. At least you stand a better chance of enjoying your holiday and having more energy, not so breathless. Thank you for going Tiny.

    I didn't go for a drive as it was raining plus I only had about 2 hours sleep. DH told his eldest that we weren't going to make it. We don't think he was very happy as it ended up quite a shirt phone call. I got upset and it played on my mind and couldn't sleep. Won't drive if short on sleep so will go tomorrow probably to Diss auction.
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    also on Quidco on the clcikty snappy thingy there seems to be new dates for uploading any receipts for 5p starting today - another 3 allowed - yippee another 15p :j

    I did all of mine last week and Morrisons was clean and tidy this morning.

    Not checked COS yet to see if that is the same, new dates.

    In Aldi yesterday on the shelf by the window where everyone packs there bags up were laid out various nice flat small receipts so I tidied them all up, just hoping that I can still upload them to COS - cant remember how many receipts I've added to what account now :o

    Don't thank me it should be me thanking you both for keeping on. :o

    I knew I still wasn't right but didn't want to waste anyones time but you two gave me kick up the behind I needed to make sure I went sooner rather than later. :) Bubbs is such an :A she always remembers when anyone is poorly and asks after them. :)

    You did right not going if you didn't have much sleep, I drove DD2 to Heathrow last week after only having couple hours sleep if that, I was so stressed about the motorway closure I am sure I just watched the clock go roun. Was ok going there but on way back I felt it and was glad to get home. You would have tensed up more if you were tired. Make sure you have that Horlicks earlier tonight. ;)
