    morning all - still wet and miserable, the weather that is, I am dry and miserable :D

    Please can I ask what is everything using their HSamuels fivers for? are you putting it towards something bigger or just getting the best that you can as close to a fiver?

    There does not seem to be very much for a fiver

    My cancellation email came in very late, Sunday evening, well after everyone elses and it said nothing about the £5 e card. So I was going to have a proper look at the email this morning and there it was -the e voucher came in on Friday.

    I changed mine for a £5 gift card More time to spend it :D. Had to go all through the houses to get it as they didn t know how to do it . So in the end I told them . I bought something for £7.50 then gave it straight back to them and in the end I got the £2.50 back on my cc and a £5 gift voucher Clever Susie lol

    I'm chasing up those nectar points for shopping in a Sainsburys local in Liverpool the other week Do you remember. I emailed them about a week ago and no reply so I did the online chat , she wasn t much good. Had an email yesterday pm asking for ALL the details and he will check it for me. I shouldn t have to do all this it's their job and I told him. I even sent pics of my receipts. I always have to chase everything up anyway so I'm used to keeping receipts . This is also x2 as hubby s got an account.

    Picked up a soaking wet receipt from Asda yesterday dried it out and got tadaaaa £8.03 back .Best ever and I don't do many.

    Good Morning everyone . Off to see the film Legend tonight with my sister. Should be interesting. Did I say I used to be a gangsters moll in a previous life :D

    Same date as mine Tiny!

    I rang about 3 weeks ago to cancel. Was very easy, and they sent me a confirmation email saying it would be running til 22nd.

    It was great for free. I might have considered paying to renew if they hadn't upped the minimum value of the shop to £40. That's just too high for me. :o

    I see Asda is also a £40 minimum with their deliver saver, which is a shame. Guess I'll just stick to their £1 slots. Online grocery orders really been a lifeline to me whilst I've been ill.

    Easy to cancel online too :)

    also can I ask has anyone cancelled a Boots order and how long does it take for the money to go back into your account?

    Yes, its possibly a bit soon, not done a Boots order for donkeys.
    I did a Boots order on Saturday to be delivered on Sunday into store but overnight they cancelled the vital bit of the order so when I pooped in on Sunday I asked for everything to be cancelled.

    They took the revised amount even though I didn't actually collect what was left of the order.

    Yes I ordered the over priced toothpaste that was mentioned on the dark side, convinced myself I needed it but inevitably they cancelled it despite it being on the shelves in my small Boots - I don't suppose there is any point in making a barbed comment on their FB page :(

    Not doing very well with online orders

    You pooped in there :eek::D That's my job but usually at bootsale sales .;)

    Same here HG nearest used to be Bournemouth have happy memories there birthday meals using CC tokens even my mum came one time. :A

    It's shut down now so closest is Southampton over 25 miles away. I did think about booking as we will be coming home on the Monday from an early birthday present for Mr TS a living social deal stopover so will drive past S'ton. But I know he will want to leave early to carry on with party preparations at home, no way would I keep him out until 6.30 after being away all day Sunday. Embarrassingly I didn't realise the deal was over 3 hours away from home. :o

    I looked as soon as it appeared yesterday but there were no spaces in either of the Southampton Bellas.
