    Afternoon all,big thanks to op about nectar points.
    Started yesterday with a very poor 28p in points :o:o
    Put my last coupon through with just a cauliflower as I didn't want to spend any more cash, total points in cash £27.75 :j:j
    I got 2000 points, 1000 points, 3x 500 and couple of 200 really pleased. I've put a total of £30 in petrol so that's almost paid for itself and 1 lot of 15 pack carling so will get that back for Free pack on
    Ipint.

    Come at good time too as mil is in hospital again, different one this time and takes us 1 hour to get there.
    And it's my turn on visiting today and I'm taking my mom, I will be stir crazy by the time visiting is over. :rotfl::rotfl:

    Well I dont have a clue whats going on with it.
    Yesterday I uploaded 2 reciepts. A free 4-pack of cider (£3) and a free 20-pack (£11)
    It says that I have uploaded 2 x free 20-pack, a free 4-pack of cider, a £1 off a 20-pack.
    But then it gets stranger. I checked this morning, and I had received £1, I have just checked again, and I have received another £9?? Have not got a clue what they have paid out.

    Check your Notifications Centre in the app tomorrow, they tend to update it with details of what offers they've paid out

    Sadly they don't say "we gave you £4 for this free pack, £14 for this free pack" I just worked it out by how my balance moved, but at least you'll know which offers have been used (chances are they've paid you the £1 off and awarded 2xfree cider at £4 each)

    huh

    maybe you got 2x£1 off and 2xfree packs (at £4 each)

    I actually like the lack of transparency because it gives you a defence for not realising you were paid too much :money:

    When redeemed in your voucher wallet it says "redeemed". In notifications it shows which are redeemed and if you click on the notification it then goes through to the offer you redeemed in your voucher wallet.

    They should tally with what you have claimed - if not and you are under, email them. If you have received more than you claimed ... keep schtum :D or let them know :A.

    Sewing tin - mine is a 1993 St Michael biscuit tin, octagonal in shape, about 10 inches across and 3 and a half inches deep. It's dark green with a gold coloured swirly design to all eight sides, and the lid has a two inch border and a central inset octagon with a design of floribunda roses.

    Reels of cotton can stand upright and it houses all the usual bits and pieces like tape measures and pin boxes and scissors etc. It's pretty enough to be on display, so it sits permanently on an old oak ottoman in the living room so it's always handy. The lid is tight enough to deter curious little ones.

    In the (distant) past I've had those 'proper' sewing boxes, with tapestry lids and compartments but they are too cumbersome and ugly so this has been in use now for 20 odd years. If I go to DD's to use her fancy machine, I just take the entire tin with me!

    TMI probably, but until today I have never really fully appreciated my lovely and useful tin, so thank you for asking!

    Only one person sews in our house - DH, so he keeps all his sewing stuff in a builders toolbox :rotfl::rotfl:

    Early Sunday lunch at local pub over and now back home with a 'special' coffee. The local now does a carvery and omg I am stuffed. Fantastic selection of veggies 10 maybe 12 :eek: I certainly couldn't something of everything on my plate :). For a small establishment they do a damn good meal :)



    Wanders off for a cigarette :o and coffee :)
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    There's an old saying that goes 'Never tell anyone that you can sew' which I blithely ignored and twice in my life it has bitten me - once when DD was in Brownies and Brown Owl mentioned they needed new curtains for the hall (6 pairs plus kitchen) and DD told everyone that her mummy was good at making curtains :eek: and I had to wriggle out of that one... The second time was when an elderly friend asked if I could sew and I said yes without thinking and the next thing was I was given some heavy-duty cord trousers to put new zips in :eek::eek: and it was impossible to get out of doing those.
