    Haven't read back yet but lots of pages :T:T:T

    Just a random piece of news


    We might have an ex Vogue cover model staying over one night this week:D

    How on earth will I stop myself staring at her:rotfl::rotfl:

    And will she like my corned beef and onion pies?

    Well I have been busy chasing up people and various companies lately and am pleased to announce they have complied with what I've said.

    1) Zeek , after a lot of emails back and too ( at least they're free) have given me £5 bonus and have said they will refund the £22 I paid for the Pizza Express voucher...those of you who read what I put.

    2) M & S , finally got an e voucher for hubbies missing £5 birthday bonus .

    3) QKR, finally got a reply telling me when my £10 credit runs out . First £5 is on the 9th of Feb and the second £5 a week later. Plus I have an offer of a free burger etc from Ed s diner so looks like another trip to Liverpool is in order. Dinner there then later go somewhere for a pudding and drink to use up the QKR money .

    Happy days :D

    I use Ed's diner at Euston quite regularly and in January got a 50% off food email which I used happily. Last week I was there again and the server told me it could be used again. He was brilliant -- just produced a voucher (to save me hunting on my phone) and re-did the bill. I was most impressed!
  • Sorry been busy and not read back. missing a couple of days of posts.

    I had a good day today:

    MORNING
    Managed a free McD loyalty coffee.

    AFTERNOON
    9 piece chicken noggets fwom Boogers from App 99p normally £2.09 (last day of offer tomorrow, hopefully another will replace it)
    Passing Gweggs noticed them handing out WHOLE savoury sausage rolls, thank you I said. Worth about £1.00
    Went to Caffè Nerd, 2 double expresso fwee using O2 App and two phones. Normal cost £3,60
    NEXT....
    Mr Shoes and 6 shamboos for £4.50 and got a total of £6.00 points.
    FINALLY
    El Colonel for a fwee chippies side and a fwee coffee ( alright for free)

    Feeling stuffed and FULL of caffeine.
    Net cost . No.... there is a net profit 51p and stuff to value of over a tenner.

    DOH!! Have not realised you can collect loyalty points from Nerd using O2 App, also just read on O2 thread about getting 2 stamps for using own cup. PLEASE thank the op on that thread,

    One go per account :D

    I popped one into the food bank the other day, got me up to a conditional spend to save £3, hope someone has a use for pants like that.

    Enterprise, I was just wondering if it was limited to one per computer. Thank you! I wonder if S sells them as they might be very useful at the weekend. :)

    Food banks are very useful for excess toiletries by the way everyone.

    At last, I've finally got what I consider some helpful information to contribute to the Elite, albeit only small....

    If you take your own travel mug to Caffe Nero for your drink you get 2 loyalty stamps. And having tested it today - you can do this when getting your free O2 drink!!!

    Thank you so much for this. Very helpful information!

    tweets...a HUMAX recording box....over my head!!!
    ....I have heard of netflix but the closest I've been to it was going to the cinema to watch the first 2 episodes of The Crown screened free.

    Sometimes I think technology passed us by.

    I have a Now TV box which turns my TV into a smart TV. There is a one off cost and then it just uses your wifi. I can't recommend it too highly.

    Advance warning to anyone who still has their decorations up - it is Candlemas on Friday so you can take them down on that day. :D

    It's also Swipe and Win weekend.

    I personally hope it rains on Friday.

    Oh yes you have! Thank you OP (sorry, running late so can't look back to see who it was) for saying it was under the 'revive your lunch life' tab. Then scroll down and find out more about one of the soups. (I clicked the chorizo one.) Lo and behold, the coupon pops up. Fill your boots and your freezers folks, one per email address.

    skinny goan and spiced chicken soup £1 in S if it is still there at the weekend...

    No, no, no.

    Lasagne or Spag Bol on a Wednesday night not a Tuesday :eek::D:rotfl:
    Something unexpected happened which made me smile and still continues to make me smile.
