    Afternoon all! Sorry if this has been posted already, I didn't see it. Seemed like a good price for an extra gym bag

    Off to IKEA tomorrow, DH needs a desk as he's hoping to quit work and do his business full time in the next few months! :eek::j:eek:

    Just hoping the boxes all fit in the car (fiesta :rotfl:) but it also means I won't have to worry about tea as the 50p hot dogs will do nicely :D

    Check you Email inboxes as there are NCG soup coupons being sent out....:D

    Cant see coupons, but can see a code for half price soup boost :o
    I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it. :)

    I cannot find a coupon on the internet, with the e-mail you have to put in a code. I hope they bring the £1 off coupons back.... DS2 is currently eating a big bowl of NCG soup!

    I am approaching £600 of N3ctar :eek:. I really must investigate what to spend them on to get the best deal :).

    I had four 200 bonus when you spend £10 vouchers come out with the same number on different transactions. As they had the same number K assumed they were duplicates but as I was buying stuff I scanned them anyway on different transactions - result, all :cool:

    Not as good as double up, but suppose you could slowly turn into cash by spending points in store, then putting aside the cash you would have spent on the shopping (in a bank account or a pot).

    That's what I did a few months ago with some S gift cards, then with the cash I bought a Gtech:)
    I think they have made it that you can't spend gift cards on petrol now, but I think you can spend points on petrol ;)

    Is the code for soup or the soup boost? thanks

    Is double up the best opportunity to spend them?

    I have used for Vue and Pizza Ex when they had the offer and did one double up in 2015 (they gave me 2000 back :)).

    I think I have a fair amount sitting in what was Airmiles too as never could work out the best way to spend them :o.

    T CC I have over £200 worth but they are earmarked for L3goland family passes (if you get part/half way through the summer holidays you can cover two summers with one annual pass ;)).

    Afternoon all

    I've not been here much because my little cat has been ill.
    He is on antibiotics at the moment but the vet said that there is a lot going on.So I'm feeling sad because he has to go for his final appointment within the next couple of weeks.

    Hardly any wombling this week because it has been so damp but I did do a target shop this morning.

    Apeaking of stuff I have posted. I recommended that people switch their electric and gaz to SSE a month ago. Well my switch took place last week, and got the letter today with my £100 Love2shop voucher. My £90 Quidco has also also tracked....best thing is, I can now switch again if I wished, and only pay £50 to do so, so £140 profit even if I only stay with them for these 4 weeks :beer:

    Hi DM
    I did the switch last month to SSE I received my £100 Love2shop this week, how did you get the £90 quidco, I thought it was £66, mine never tracked so I had to put a claim in
