    My store def accepted 4 u&g MOCs but I got 5 boxes - this is very puzzling.

    was it green label tomato soup you got - its matched the sada 50p price - I was confused as mysupermarket said it did not stock them but obviously it does

    Are people printing the U&G MOC from the metro or originals from the paper newspaper? And if printed, are they scanning and processing now?

    Many thanks

    This is quite a radical suggestion.

    I had a vast array of assorted ciders from various free cashback offers, mostly undrinkable :D but I had one of the mr !!!!!! mysterious twine boxes going spare so I put 12 in it

    on the Olio FB page I noticed that someone had offered their left over party booze in exchange for a charity donation so I thought I would try this as well - put a photo up and a description of the contents and asked for a donation to Princes trust (their website seems to be down at the mo so I cant give the link)

    I had several responses and I eventually chose a chap who collected the box the following Friday afternoon. I went online and donated £10 and I gave the chap the receipt so he could see it had been done.

    Its another job for during the week but I think I have more random beers and cans that need to be rehomed so I might give this another go next week

    Why do I still keep getting C4rling ...? I have plenty but free is free and devices had the free 4 packs lined up :D.

    I just need to work out how to get through th m without turning into an alcoholic - there is only so much family will accept, Christmas fairs are an option for tombola - any other ideas?

    How long after BBE would they be okay to dribk?

    After the free 4 packs they now have £1 off - when kogged out it is £5 9(( 12/15 packs then free 4 pack again, assuming that then came up after claiming the £5 voucher. I wonder if the reason why some of us got )1 instead of the full free pack claim is due to the front and back end showing different offers (so we see and claim free 4 pack, system is seeing )1 as that was the next voucher lined up before we logged out to claim)?

    Thanks

    If it is now open, switch an account in and claim the Cashback - keep it open a year and then get another £50 (T&Cs apply). Incentive should be based on date of application, not of opening :). I mentioned before that last year I got the switching incentive even though the account wasn't opened due to complaining :D.

    Is there a time limit between the account being opened and when you can switch in to qualify.
    It took so long for mine to open I gave up and saved none of the details

    Sainsburys have another 25% off 6 bottles of wine. This is a good everyday drinking wine and the label looks most impressive.

    normally £4 a bottle but after the 25% discount it works out at £18 for 6 bottles

    I don't think so but as you have to phone up to action the switch, tell them you are taking up their offer for £150 now, £50 in a year for switching. If they say you don't qualify, complain. Nothing to lose and if their complaints team looked into how long it took I strongly suspect they would uphold your complaint. :).

    I've been reading about Walnut the whippet. So, so sad but what a lovely thing to do :)
    We listened to Walnut's owner on Jeremy Vine yesterday talking about this. Very moving.
