Morning all :hello:

Is it just me who always forgets shopping bags until I'm at the store

Handy tip: always buy something you don't want, then when you return it, you have remembered your bag :cool:

I walked out of tkmaxx with an armfull of clothes! Must make it hard to tell who has paid and who is shoplifting

OH has got the 50 points for petrol - this is going to take some figuring out - his nectar card, the main car as the other one has small tank, a fuel save voucher and ideally we have to wait until he gets back his mycoupons basket item - 900 points wys £30

I've got the 200 points wys in a local and all the extra grocery items -penn state pretzels and nature valley popcorn - waiting for these to go on offer sometime in the next 3 weeks. I've also got reduced sugar fridjj which was £1 last week - only 40 points but even so.

on mycoupons I've still got my basket item, spend £10 get 200 points which will get nicely with the till spit spend £10 on catfood get 150

I have 50 points on a £30 petrol site spend

The mrs has 250 points on next spend at a petrol site

So I'll swipe my card when I fill up to take advantage of the bonus 50 points on top of the current 10 nectar points per litre promo (and I'll also be using my 8p off a litre voucher that I got when I spent £20 in clothes at the same time as I used a £2 off £20 and 800pts wys £20 on clothes :money:)

Whilst I'm there I'll buy a wham bar and swipe the wife's card to get 250 the bonus points

Thanks I will have a look, we are a little anxious about him living there at the moment, I ended up reading Amnesty International and other web pages and nearly had a heart attack. It is beautiful but scary!

What it is like to be young and carefree! x

is there a British embassy and if so does he know where it is and how to get there?

also has he got adequate travel or backpackers insurance?

do you have a scan or a file with a copy of his passport on so you have the numbers and details incase of passport problems?

other than that, that is about all we can do for them - all 3 of mine are the same, terrible itchy feet, always wanting to be somewhere else, the youngest is by far the worst

worst still it is all my fault. I always encouraged them to do all the school trips, scout weekends away and camps, all of the ATCs summer camps and sporting and exercise weekends away, student exchange programmes - all they have ever know is being in a constant state of flux, getting ready and planning to go somewhere

very neat

we have both got maynards wine gums £1 for 40 points.:T

in store I am doing very small shops ideally £1 at a time to bring down my average spend and hopefully trigger some more conditional spends.

Ive also got a tills pit for a £10 pet food spend but I am going to hang onto this for as long as possible

those are very good.

I've got one for a £20 spend on bedding.
But then this week I noticed one sheet has gone bobbly so really needs replacing. When I washed it I noticed that it was a Mr !!!!!! Florence and Fred one :eek: so its definitely going now.

but I am going to hang on a bit until OH gets his basket mycoupons back - 900 points wys £30
- unless he needs petrol first in which case I will get £20 of Tu but use my nectar card as that will at least give me 200 points and a 8p fuel save with a tills pit.

its quite complicated jungling nectar offers and tills pits

You've got a good point there. We always consider hotel rooms as just a place to sleep, why should this be any different? And if it doesn't really make any difference to the noise level then it may be worth keeping the money to spend elsewhere

If we do do it then I will give all the information when we get back

I agree with MHOC Personally I prefer an inside cabin as I felt the light filtered in on the mornings and i did not want to be awake at 5am

Enjoy
