My complaint to Oh was that his clean underwear and socks were still littering the radiator in the downstairs bathroom.
He said some of it was not yet dry
After 3 days I said.? In which case why does my underwear dry overnight on the upstairs radiator overnight I asked and then gets put away first thing in the morning
OHs reply was that his underwear is thicker so takes longer to dry.
Does anyone ever despair of their OHs
Mine has a bad back, except on a Sunday morning, when he plays golf!0 -

I was told today at CS, that all vouchers would be sent to nectar to be checked and only allowed if the purchase was made from the same nectar card!curl girl with a space - even though there is no space in my cupboard!!!0 -
Can I ask if everyone's running totals are correct for their nectar point please.
Mine was correct up until last night, then all bonus points have disappeared from the receipt when I went again today!
TIA
I can't help you there curl girl as I have only joined in today and the last lot of petrol I got the 2 lots of 1000 are still showing as added.
Did you only get yours added at Customer Service or when you shopped? Wonder if that will make a difference. I did hear a SA saying to another customer something about they may take 28 days to go on but when I saw mine had added straight away I though she must have been talking about something different.0 -
Thanks Qoc....good days and bad days and just a gentle re adjustment.
Your dress is beautiful...
Thank you

Tinyshoes, thanks for replying.
Yesterdays were added and showed on receipt last night.
I have been again today but the points had all disappeared from the balance on the bottom of the receipt.
I just wondered if this had happened to others??curl girl with a space - even though there is no space in my cupboard!!!0 -

I'm late to this Sains thing:o - I've also just noticed as to what it is:o:o.
I've concluded that it's not worth getting groceries from Sains as I am most likely to get a coupon for 200 points - in other words just £1 off a £10 spend (which, even if reduced to about £5 by comparing against A) is just not enough percentage discount for me. (And of course I still end up paying them the £10 in any event, the rest is then coupons that has to be spent at Sains, so they always end up with the £10 it just affects how much you get from them for that spend.)
It is far easier and far more worthwhile to pick up wombles from A, which are often in excess of £1 and do not require any minimum spend to obtain them!
However, I have decided that Sains petrol is certainly worth going for. I can't spend wombles against petrol - would therefore have to pay A (or somewhere else) the full fuel bill and Sains, even though they are almost always exactly 0.2p per litre more expensive:mad:, getting a "£1" coupon back off a £10 spend, which I would do anyway, would be more than I would get at A.
And, here, Savvy was finally leading up to the point (having set out all the detail in a logical manner:rotfl:) - am I correct in thinking that the Swipe & "Win" coupons, which I may spend on Sains groceries by 21 February, require no minimum spend and therefore the 200 points coupon is exactly equivalent to £1 cash to spend in Sains? (I think the 'confusion' for me, although it does not say anything about 250 points redemption, is that a Nectar card has to be swiped when redeeming the coupon - I associate Nectar points redemption with 250 points redemption - where I am getting the other 25p (50 points) from (should I "win" 200)? The Swipe and Win coupons say 200 points or whatever yet those 200 points are not actually added to my card? The coupon is just like a voucher for £1 off? That I can use it against a £1 shop, with my Nectar card being swiped in validation of it, without any further ado and pay them no cash for that shop at all? I do not have to spend 250 points divisible amounts? There is no minimum spend on the redemption shop? TIA.)
What I am not doing is spending £10 on petrol, getting a 200 points coupon (most likely) and then spending a £10 grocery shop in Sains against which I use that 200 points and have to pay them £9! Can someone confirm that, indeed, I can get my £10 petrol tomorrow, which is only about 2p more expensive than A, due to the 0.2p per litre extra cost of S, get 200 points coupon or whatever and then spend that against a £1 grocery shop in S - no cash needed? The "minimum spend" is £1 as that is the value of the coupon. TIA.0 -
