    Hello everyone, just to let you know.

    Decided to sort Oliver the dogs missing Nectar points out for the train journey he booked for New Years Eve. Anyway, noticed that the terms and conditions have altered again on the "swipes promotion" today. The line 'Offer available on one transaction per store per day' has been removed.
    Fed up with Nectar, too much effort/time involved keeping track/chasing missing points

    Good to see the progress checker is back :j

    Now to screenshot that and the t&cs and email them to myself with a subject line of "X points due by 29/3"
    Apparently, everybody knows that the bird is [strike]the word[/strike] a moorhen

    You don't, but it says when opened you should keep in the fridge.

    Given you are all still posting, evidence suggests that no harm will come to you if you keep in the cupboard :).

    i have just read my hp sauce, it only says "store cap down" no mention of being kept in a fridge

    Makes me smile when I see people are getting low on deodrant.
    9 years ago when I was diagnosed with breast ca and was about to undergo radiotherapy, I was told I cannot use "normal" deodrant but can use a crystal deodrant, which is basically rock salt. I bought one off ebay and it arrived with a broken cap so emailed the seller and they sent me another one. I carried on using the one with the broken cap as the actual crystal salt bit was ok. Carried on using it after treatment finished as it was doing the job of keeping odour at bay ok. Only just started using the 2nd one as it lasted so well. I use it night an morning and it works so well. :)

    I started using these years ago when ordinary deodorants began to make me itch :( they do last for years. I only had to replace the last one because I dropped it on the bathroom floor and it shattered. It doesn't stop you sweating but does destroy any odour, so in my opinion much healthier too. :)

    I do use sensitive deodorants occasionally if the need arises but even these irritate me.

    I must be in the very minor minority because in my house, ketchup, brown sauce and mayo all live in the fridge :D
    Same here. think it stems from when I worked in a nursing home and we had to keep them in the fridge. Also had to put a sticker on them with the date they were opened and after 6 weeks after opening chuck it out :eek:

    Cupboard :D

    :j:j

    Waiting for my train home but just got my mark back for general portfolio. Got a First! I strongly suspect that I've got the highest mark in the class because I know the marks of 3 others, 2 of them possibly the strongest in the class.

    1 down 4 to go!

    Should add that this was potential downfall as it was a range of genres and I only consider myself a landscape photographer.
    Well done you!!

    Not just you, I thought it too :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:



    Cupboard here too.


    My reducing the toiletry stash is going as planned. Since we started, I forget theatre now doh, I've used a sachet of Garnier and a blob of eye cream. Bed time I've used. Blob of eye cream and scooped out some Body Shop night cream. It's my normal routine, only difference is I'm not buying anymore, I've got some pots of face cream that I'll move onto after the sachets.

    Make-up, I won't need to buy any either :j. All systems go.

    Oh, I've just clicked on SoPost for a sample of eye cream, only one :rotfl:
    I am trying so hard to use stuff up and like you actually using night cream!! (How does it know if it is day or night?)
    I started slathering myself in body lotion (before my fall) and was in danger of slidding out of the other side of the bed.
