Entertaining Lovely Information Travels Elegantly

Looking at nectar, trying to work out the BM rules, wondered if mhoc realised that the Crewe store don't participate!
I thought that everyone did apart from major London branches...

Nectar have sent me £10 0ff £50 vouchers, may be worth using.

Hi Izzy, think I'm up to 18 or 19 now, have lost count! :eek:

Look up Post Operative Cognitive Dysfunction (POCD). Most of the stuff talks about this in conjunction with over 60's, but its definitely a thing. Like you I've been joking about it, but being back at work has made me realise that actually its not funny.

OMG -19!

I def had this POCD after I broke my wrist, my brain was a total fog and it went on for weeks - only in my 40s

I am also a notebook carrier, everything had to be written down, otherwise its in one ear and out of the other.
Yesterday I was looking for a present which I'd last seen only a week before in the wardrobe. I took everything off the shelf and out of the wardrobe and still could not find it, twice I did this. I went downstairs and looked in other odd places but still no joy. OH came home and by this time I was frantic and almost in tears. So I went though the wardrobe for a third time and found it.
What I should have done is write in my notebook
Eldest child's birthday - arriving Saturday
Present a - on the desk in the letter tray
Present b - in the wardrobe, right hand side at the back
Other ideas

So now everyone is getting a page in the notebook with their names and location of whereabouts I've hidden their birthday presents as I get them so I don't end up in the state I got myself into yesterday

I just got a 1kg bag in Lidl, 7 apples in it, lovely apples too.

I picked up a bag of apples in aldi the other day, got home and what should have been a pack of six was actually six and A HALF!

Yep, someone had gone to the trouble of chopping one right down the middle and putting it in the bag :rotfl::rotfl:

I hope they don't find your notebook mhoc or that will spoil all the surprises.

Back to my soup making:)

CREWE is a little local Sainsburys as is Alsager - both difficult to get at so to go to a Sainsburys local it's easier for me to go to the one outside Liverpool lime street or the one in Chester.

It's the massive main store sainsbobs outside the next big town I use.

BM - you need at least 10 items but it came be one branded and 9 own brand. Prices are matched Sainsburys against Asda and the BM is capped at £10 and lasts 2 weeks - so ideally use your BM straight away to get your muggle shopping. You can use SS tills to get a BM but usually the SSS needs to type in the BM to pay for shopping.

The potential shop with Shopotize cashback items I was thinking about mid week worked nicely and I got £2.97 BM. My idea was to upload my receipt and get it processed and then this weekend do the same shop for OH Shopotize.
Needless to say I had the usual receipt problems and my receipt has gone for review, this is the 4th receipt now. I also emailed Shopotize and again no reply so it will be Tuesday now - a repeat performance of last weekend

I did £15 of shopping and used a 240 points bonus till spit and a triple points - these are being issued like confetti now every shop you get issued with one. I had 2 items for my coupons and these have been added now so another 80 points - so that's 365 nectar points, £2.97 BM for next time and £2.90 in cashback if and when it's processed so not too bad for a little £15 shop of useful odds and sods.
The till spits I've got this week are interesting as well. I've got 2 more of the spend £20 on household cleaners etc get 7p off fuel and also 200 points bonus for every £20 shop or multiples
Also 120 points for buying any Covent garden soup - very useful.

Very good point - everyone knows about the notebooks and knows I have them in my bag or next to me on the desk ...
