    I've drawn the short straw.

    500points once one of my items sells in the Oxfam tag scheme:o

    6 visits to a local to get 200 points.Not worth the petrol

    Also I can get £2.50 worth of goods in Argos when I use 500 points.......eh?

    I had the Oxfam one once but it takes so long for anything to sell you don't ever get your 500 points.
    I also had the buy 6 items at Sainsburys local but I didn't bother - mind you at the time COS was giving 10p for bananas so I wished I'd bought 6 bananas on seperate receipts - worth the risk - nectar points bonus if it worked and/or 60p COS whatever

    The Argos one - hasn't that finished now?

    I disconnected them when we moved over to Virgin, so haven't got a router on my modem.



    DS1's school would only post out if you had left a s.a.e. otherwise you had to collect or they would be waiting on first day of new term.

    Thanks will just have to wait and see.

    They are quite solid - possibly like sausages are supposed to be in the olden days. But the packs of 6 suit us fine - 2 is the max i eat anyway.

    No I'm definitely not bothering with the Oxfam one...I'd have to pay to park. Nor the S local one....just not worth it.

    The Argos thing is just what's always been available ...it's not a bonus at all:o
