Hi Fairclaire,
I hope you don't mind a reply.
Why don't you suggest your son takes an extra bottle of water on the first day of school, that he can leave the spare one at school incase he forgets to take one in ?

I think he's just in one of those moods where if I find a suitable solution to his problem, he will find another problem He's angsty about it being the end of the holidays I think. He gets very annoyed at having to start back mid-week and always has done. He'd rather forgo 2 days holiday and start back on a Monday. I guess he just needs something to grumble about.

Rhos....re the results...did ds sit several different papers in the science exams,each paper or practical examination will be marked and graded separately (usually the module grade is shown in lower case) and then the exam is given an overall mark (usually upper case)

hope that makes sense but if you need any further guidance....

Well done to him for sitting early....and if he wants to retake next year at least he knows what type of thing to expect,exams can be daunting but once you know the format and whats expected sometimes the extra year working on the subject will make it feel easier for him next year.

I have downloaded the nectar app to try for the nero vouchers.
when it states enter code to redeem, they have not sent me a code, can you tell me what I am doing wrong, as I am new to this!!!
thanks.

Hi I don't know what you are doing wrong but for me the code was in an email they sent straight away I then entered the code on the nectar app and bought some vouchers which came immediately in emails one for each one bought lol Hth.

This is good news about the Argos Nectar points - I had the 17th in my head as a possible date
Not checked mine this morning fingers crossed, the timing is very good.
I am trying to figure out how many visits to Nero I might do in the next month - maybe one trip to town in the week and one trip out somewhere at the weekend - so maybe I would need 8 - or 10 as a just incase I end up in town twice in a week or go 2 places on a weekend .....

Hi mhoc did I read you get points for various food items from Sainsburys if so where are they please as I can't find them on the app Thanks

are you registered online on

nectar.com

you can either go via the app or I just go to the website. It asks for your card number and password.
The app was updated last week and nearly everyone is having difficulties with it - except me - :eek: - yes this in itself is a minor miracle, last week I was updating passwords all over the place, no website liked me
I am assessing nectar via the ipad as it seems to be more set up for mobile devises and Ive got the details saved so it autofills, just put in the first few numbers.

Then when you are into your account the home page has a series of picture boxes and Neros was the first one last right and just click on it.

I've not done a free drink one yet but if its the same as the cinema and Pizza Express double up offer it is very straightforward process and you get an email sent to your registered address almost straight away - so make sure its a dress you recognize.
The email will have a code on it, show it to the counter staff in Neros.
but I might print my codes off so I don't get confused as to which ones I've used .

In theory for this week anyway you can do it all actually in Neros, log onto nectar, get a drink code, show it to the staff - there is public wi fi in Neros - but has anyone checked to see if its limited to one drink per account per day???

I just took a pic of all the codes on my iPad. Actually I'm in there now and have had my first one bit of an issue as to whether you get a stamp for it. The girl said I ll do it this time but will check. So could do with some proof if we are entitled to a stamp lol. You get one with 02 so why not with nectar.

I really must look into these Amex cards that give so much of certain shops . Mhoc what is yours called please ?

I also got last night the code from Amazon for £10 to be spent before November - I've not idea what to spend it on.
<snip>
I read the MSE article on this offer, clicked on the link and ordered £40 gift card which arrived yesterday afternoon, wasn't sure what was going to happen next.
Quite relived that its worked as I didn't get any email from Amazon about the offer.

Hi
I was also showing as eligible on my Amazon account so I also bought £40 of gift cards from Amazon, following Martin's tip.

This was the day before yesterday, and although I received the gift cards, I haven't received the free £10 code. It is supposed to arrive within 24 hours.

(I've checked my spam mail, and also my online Amazon account. Nothing.)

Is anyone else having this problem?

my code came in just after midnight this morning - I also had various emails to say it was dispatched and en route - I got a physical gift card sent by snail mail
