Fc. Hope your feeling a bit better and hope the results come back quickly and give you positi e news xx at least watergate Is over For ds 2 now or is he still worried about it. X

Morning

I'm just a bit tender The water crisis is over as I told him it would be He's just a bit hyper in general today so he can come to work with me. I think OH is a bit exhausted after yesterday and I won't leave him to test anyone else's patience.
The lads at work are brilliant with him, so that'll keep him out of mischief I'm just waiting on a lift. I don't think the leg attached to my bruised bum could make an emergency stop should the need arise.

I hope you manage to get your sofa inside :rotfl:

Well our fox or foxes seem to have moved on, only seen some legs running away.

On the plus side we have opened the patio door to let a cat in to find the hedgehog on the lawn stuffing himself with cat food - too little to put the security light on by itself

Hedgehog then trundles off when he is full - cats are fascinated with him, I don't think they really know what it is - fortunately they stare from the safety of the living room

That must have been an interesting sight watching legs running away

And every woman's dream all I have to do is ring this bell and a man will come running.

A question - does anyone buy their spring bulbs online and if so where from?
I've just been planting the very un exciting Home Bargains or B & M selection - cheap but the choice is limited

I usually buy from Thompson and Morgan or J Taylor's. I get bored with the usual daffs and tulips too. The only killer is the postage. Sometimes they send emails with money off or free postage. I just ordered anyway this year and paid postage. I think I was feeling reckless :rotfl:
They sent 100 free crocus bulbs with my order which I planted all over the front lawn.

Hi mhoc How long does it take for bonus points to be added on please ? I went to Liverpool on Saturday and use mine and hubby's 200 points extra for buying something from Sainsbury s local . I ve got the normal one point but not tho bonus ones yet.

I had a hot chocolate and a scone with jam and cream in John Lewis.

I think the ones that appear on your nectar page take quite a while to show up - this reminds me I've got to chase a couple of mine up as well - one for 320 for cat food def needs looking at
I resorted to ringing them up yesterday, absolute nightmare but eventually I was put through to another department and the basket points from mycoupons I was chasing have appeared today (and also the new ones I only got the email about yesterday!)
ON PTS someone was saying its far easier to message them through FB but it needs to be at least 10 days after the transaction before they will do anything.

I've taken now to writing on the receipts what points are due and keeping them on my desk until it happens. and now I am going to mark 10 days later on the calendar for chasing up.

There is going to be a lot more Nectar offers coming up, rumour has it so we need to be on the ball with these.

Incidentally checking nectar this morning my OH has also got the 200 points for going to a local - new one must have appeared in the last day

occasionally we have the odd escaped dog running through so if you see legs you have to check to see if its a fox or a runaway dog

Morning all

Big thanks to SNAP ANT!

I applied for tickets for Mrs Browns Boys when you posted up the link. I wasn't successful, but I also applied on my best friends behalf and I got a text from her this morning saying she'd got tickets :j

Just need to work out the logistics of how we can get down for it now!

Thanks I ll wait a bit longer then but it's a job remembering everything to chase up . I regard you as the Nectar expert here lol. Did you have the offer for 250points for doing a survey. I did the one and the 250 points showed up straight away.

Spoilt for choice this morning either get my large hot chocolate from cafe Nero with Nectar points or buy a £1.80 tray bake .... The muesli ones quite nice... And get a free regular drink with 02. Think it ll be the Nectar one though.
