    Can you please confirm where the Knorr coupons are to be found ?

    Metro
    Does the Nectar swipe and win start today ?
    Is is in " my offers " this morning.

    No

    That's just an ad but it could be clearer that the offer starts tomorrow

    Morning :wave:

    Good luck today JTS, hope it goes as well as it can

    Glad you're back at home now bubbs, hope you've wotsitted down the hatches, it's very windy and wet out there (well it is up in brizzle anyway)

    I had to put petrol in my car this morning, but hopefully just enough to be comfortably in the red zone tomorrow when I rock up at s

    Got a till spit for 360 points for wolfblass, and have exactly the same offer in nectar offers, but it is £8 - bit of a dilemma as I already have plenty of twine to keep me oiled, but I suppose it might be good with the swipe and win (minimum 920 points back in total so I suppose if I double up it's still more than free) - that's that decided then! :D

    Box of 24 weetabix free on TCB S&S (first 500 to claim)

    Just £1.50 in A but £2+ everywhere else (ie profit on a TvA shop)

    Or you could take a chance the offer is still on tomorrow and use it towards the £10 spend in S

    Good morning all....

    I've been beaten with details for Durham about the broken cooker door...the website that jackie o posted about is very good and one of a few that do either genuine replacement parts or very good compatibles....we have used them many times when odd bits get broken off things by tenants in our properties.

    One thing I would add though is strange as it seems check the price of a new cooker,sometimes if its a big part gone it does actually work out more cost effective to replace the whole unit.

    Have you accidental damage on home insurance...again if the excess isn't too bad and it wont impact furture premiums it might be something to look into.

    I've been to the dentist this morning...check up all good but she did give me a sample size toothpaste so I need to log that as an item in....but it will get used soon as we are on the last of the toothpaste stash once this full tube is used.

    Jer....thoughts with you today.

    Rhos...I hope the viewing on the property goes well this afternoon....I'll confess to have bought at least 2 properties that way...so be warned!....I just love something with potential.

    tweets...I read with interest what you say about your mum...you really do have my sympathy...my sister and I endured many years of challenging behaviour from our mum...low level in the early stages of her illness but more intrusive as it progressed.We learnt to separate the words she said from our feelings towards her as we knew thats all they became...words.
    You do a wonderful job in looking after her and sadly as some people get older they don't always recognise that with thanks and gratitude and will even pass it off as a divine right of passage.
    My sister and I always got the rough end of her tongue...our brother always got the charm.
    But mum was mum and we loved her even though her final years did challenge us greatly and at least we know that we always did our best.
    Give our Poppy an extra hug this evening and please dont let it all get to you x

    Have a good day all x
    frugal October...£41.82 of £40 food shopping spend for the 2 of us!
