    I need to do 3 more swipes by 19th for 100 bonus points apparently.

    Wonder if I'll manage to do that ...:D

    I got 190 pts if I buy some lamb, 300 if I spend £15, and 7p off a litre if I spend £15 on household (which is doubtful as S is a bit pricey on household)

    Today I got my first new £5. :j

    My only grocery spend today was 75p bread.

    for the swipe x times promo I just went through SS tills and did one item at a time or £1 worth - soon got to the total :)

    Hi, can anyone help.

    The vouchers/prizes that spit out at the till. Do they have to be added to the same nectar card that was swiped?

    My nectar card has been cancelled because I haven't used it for over 12 months :eek: maybe I could use a friends card to swipe while I wait for replacement card?

    I'm gutted

    Pick up a new one instore?

    Morning all :wave:

    But waiting for a confirmation email to collect my £5 freebie vest from M&S. Will wait till 3pm then go to S if M&S email not arrived.

    It's just a cover for something altogether more sinister:o:(

    Very true!
    i had a bit of a money dilemma this week. I was very kindly given a cheque by someone I'm doing some work for, but I'm paid by my company to do this persons work. It was a very generous payment compared to the work I've done :o I tried to decline it but was told that I should keep it :A the cheque is still waiting for me to decide whether I should bank it or not :o:o

    Are you working as an escort again??

    Does your contract allow you to accept it QoC?

    Years ago Mr TS was left money in one of his clients will, a substantial sum too would have made such a difference to us at the time. But there is a clause in his contract that he is not allowed to accept gifts etc. In the end he was allowed to accept but then had to gift straight to the charity he worked for.

    Probably different circumstances to you but the client could not understand the help Mr TS was giving him he was already getting paid for. He did try and explain. The solicitor contacted Mr TS direct and said his client hoped he could accept it. I guess in the end he has indirectly benefitted by it going to the company who pays his wages....
