Sparks members check your email I just had one for a free drink. :beer:

Thought it was going to be a tea or coffee at my leisure....but it's a glass of fizz from the picture and only at the CP store for me which is miles to drive and only tomorrow night.

I'm feeling a bit like this. :eek: :rotfl:

Afternoon :wave:


Just about surviving the school holidays... Mixed emotions about the start of term next week. Sad to see the youngest go off to reception but desperately need some routine back and a break from the constant bickering and shouts of 'MUUUUUM' :rotfl:

Popped to Ts this morning for the Fruit flakes and lurpak as the boys wanted to do some baking. Uploaded to COS but rejected as last number of receipt ID missing as ripped off by checkout lady Have emailed them but not holding out much hope.

Got stocked up on some breakfast cereals as some RTC in that aisle. Got Ts own fruit and fibre for 42p per 500g box and Scottish Porridge Oats 500g for 16p. Worked out cheaper than the everyday value we normally buy

Home from horrific play date this afternoon where my two whined and wouldn't share... My BM order had arrived though. A mustard coloured shirt that fits ad doesn't look like something my Mum would wear Plus a couple of scarves all for £6

Yes I've got the email now as well - too far to go for just some fizz but it looks like if anyone is closer you might be able to wing it even if you have not had the email as long as you have a sparks card.

Marks had the strange idea that Cheshire Oaks was my nearest big store rather than Chester or Liverpool that I have def used the card in. MY OH took me to the shiny new one at Wolstanton and now Marks seem to have a better idea of where I live.

Stafford has a shiny new store which I am aiming to steer OH in the direction of this weekend. My strategy is going to be to do small purchases using both of our Sparks cards so hopefully we will get invites for Stafford now instead.

This was the one. It looked very promising in the picture. Mind you it's a bit daft of them showing it modelled under an extra layer. They say my review won't show for 72 hrs...

Nice pattern too I thought. Pity.

:o:o Nope different one, mine was this one - a huge square with cuffs

Phone the store and get a reprint as i think they can only reprint on the day. Of course you can then pick up at CS anytime.

Good evening, lovely Elite :wave:

Good evening everyone, hope you are all well. Off for a catch up

Just been shopping for the 'modest' party on Saturday. Mum had 3 £6 off £30 spend MOCs for Waitrose.
So had to ask SA to tell us when we reached £30. Paid & carried on. Then used next MOC...
Off to Ts to price up their lamb (DS making lamb with fig jam...) & found magazines... but no HIPP
Haven't purchased the drink - wish I had known before hand as could of done something with the 25% off etc in Ts a while back.
We went to Majestic :eek::eek::eek:
Luckily persuaded DS to think about the booze

So we need a 'toast' fizz. Some white & a few reds, beers & glasses on hire.

Any ideas?

Many thanks
