    things for cashback - aero and kettle chips for TCB - maybe something off the Shopotize list?

    postie has finally been :D

    He brought a set of Tesco conditional spends for £20 shops, this time in my name. If we eat the BNIs then this would be fine but my !!!!!! shops now are so small ...

    on the plus side I sent a grovelling letter to Wallkers - thanks to the OP for the address, waited a few weeks and today a postal order for £20 arrived for the 5 vouchers that went OOD :j

    I was wondering this week about the odd bits of interest from current accounts and other stray bits of money that don't have much significance so I've opened an account for them - just 0.9% and only 5 withdrawals a year - so I will add this £20 to it. I'd like to see how much accumulates in it, might be enough for weekends/midweek break or a late January trip to Whinefeld - it will have £16 roughly a month from various nationwides and another £5 will go in from TSB to start with.

    I'm still hopeful for a shop that I did at around 12:30 today, but obviously won't have the results till just after 15:30. It is an A v M, part of which didn't work for someone this morning but I am hoping that there may have been a lunchtime update which might have happened that might make it work for me.

    I have also bought a few other things too, so if you can hold off for another 90 minutes or so I'll let you know.

    Keep everything crossed..:D

    Bless you SFSB....I've a few wombles that could be used too so whilst I dont mind taking the hit if your hunches dont work I probably could hold out.....are we talking rice or pasta pots?

    We managed to get a large number of the pasta pots some months back as they were being handed out free at an event we went to....they were not bad..but it might be a little too soon to reintroduce them at the moment.

    I'm a bit slow on how glitches work and in awe of those who find them:T
    My question is the fruit shoot are now showing £2 on A,com and I know mys is only a guide, but on there they are still 2 for £5, so will they still work??

    Don't get me wrong..I love hearing about everyone's holidays and seeing the pictures whether that be whilst they are away or afterwards....I just don't share mine until we get home....

    I guess a computer/laptop and phone are all things that are part of my life here and have never played a part in it when we are away.

    I wouldn't be spending anytime on mine if Mr TS was here. I've been grateful for a bit of adult company with the Elite while the girls have been doing things. I don't think many people want to talk to a lady on her own here. :o

    I did finally meet a lovely couple earlier today to chat to. :T

    Nope, it is neither rice nor pasta pots..:p
