Oooh my Freddos have tracked on quidco:D

Still no reply to my email with regard to my Up and Go etc being declined

Well I'm pondering........

Wanted to recycle all the Xmas wrapping paper and read that you should remove the sellotape, which I did.

But then read that can't recycle laminated or glittery, so that had to be separated. Difficult to decide with some, but did my best.

Then read that some wrapping paper doesn't have enough fibres to recycle - presume that means the cheapie stuff I use.

So, is it better to try to recycle but maybe put some wrong stuff in or is it better just to put it all in general rubbish bin??

I too am really looking forward to the nectar promotion again. Dont think I will be tempted with instore spending as nothing I really need. I have hardly spent anything this month keep missing the whoopsies in
asda. My downfall like trulymadly is milk. Last year often managed to buy it in wilkos and asda whoopsied but they seem to have got their act together so now it is a £1 spend (which is big money for me) and oh often has a bowl of cereal in the evening. Obviously my dinners are filling him up. That shredded wheat i bought this morning also soaks up the milk.

I didn't look into it that closely lizzie:o. It all went into our recycling bin....after I took off all the bows and stuff that I can use next year. I got some lovely wine bags this year which will get used throughout the year. One contained a bottle of whisky which no one here drinks so that's already gone in the present stash for next christmas:)

Sorry cant help

Do you do cashback matty?.........I suppose that's the other thing...get the stuff on cashback from S to the value of £10 to get your swipe and win then you have the cashback to claim too.

Or get some of the basics range flour etc that will get used eventually
