    :)

    Had to go & get my ticket for a Laura Ashley Reunion on Saturday.

    Laura Ashley's children are attending :)

    It is for original staff from the beginning & onwards, the pattern designers, the printers, the cloth cutters, the machinists, the order takers & despatchers :) When everything was done here in Mid Wales all those years ago before the company went PLC & everything is now imported from China :(

    We will have films, photos, memories & a grand time :D

    Thanks for this, I've just ordered one at £72. Does it come with any coffee???

    Yes, they normally come with a selection of about 12 different single capsules, so you can try a few before buying (they come in sleeves of 10 when you buy).
    The blue machine you have bought is nicer than the orange one I got this morning :T:T Hope mine does turn up - it is on a delayed delivery, I will be sorry I didn't just pay £5 more and get the blue one if mine ends up cancelled.
    The £75 credit comes as 3 lots of £25.
    You can either order the coffee online (there is usually a postage fee though) or buy instore in Nespresso boutiques. I go to one in a Selfridges not too far from me, so I normally stock up when I go there. You also get a free cup of coffee in the boutique with your Nespresso card (free when you register the machine). HTH.


    Edit:you can also get compatible capsules in Lidl and M&S, amongst other places. The Lidl ones are the cheapest, especially when on offer. Not as nice as the Nespresso, but still good. M&S sometimes have them on 3 for 2 and have quite a good selection. Hopefully the £75 will keep you going for a while though!

    Oh my goodness, I'm so excited !! Thanks for that, I have been disappointed with the Tassimo and much prefer the coffee from nespresso. I'll have to call it an early Christmas present to justify it, but if I try hard enough, I'm sure I can convince my DH that its free with the coffee vouchers!! Ha ha :j

    Probably already mentioned, but Gordon's gin is £13.50 for a litre at W.
    No use for comparison, as that price is with W card.

    *EDIT: As long as you are not a confused FB user.

    Havent tried the TBG think since the voucher was produced instantly when you get your shopping yet. A' and M's are much nearer to me. The facebookers on that page were complaining that they got 13 packets of alpens expecting to get about £20 back, but only get cb on 6 of them. Not sure what other shopping was involved though. (yes think I am one of the confused lol )

    I am also convincing myself it is free!
    I was going to gift the machine at Xmas, as I already have one, but I need to register it in my name in order to get the vouchers, so can't see a way to gift it after that!
    I think I will take the machine to use at work, and use the aeroccino as a stocking filler for DS1 to use at uni, as my kids love the frothy milk in hot chocolate :)
