Good Morning kind folk

WEll I'm up in time to get myself over to Peterboro to see that free film, thanks to Berry barking for her breakfast :rotfl: I could so easily have stayed in bed

Had a lovely day yesterday with the gang visiting. The lads got my other big armchair out (had to saw the top of the back off like other one to get it through the doors which is a pity as they were both lovely chairs, just too big) so I now have much more space in my lounge and two smaller but higher chairs so much better for me. And with them cut down like that, they were able to get them in my car and take one at a time to the tip, with a couple of other bits I had to go there :T

And Kit got to work on my kitchen, with my supervision to stop her throwing too much out, and it is so bright and clean in there, especially as I can see all my worltops now :j

A tiring day and my back and legs are aching even with the little I did, but so pleased with what got done. So we went to F & Benn's for a lovely fun filled meal afterwards, before they left for the drive home to Hampshire. They dropped Kit off in Portsmouth around 12.45 and the lads got home 1.45. I waited to hear that they got home OK before I wet to bed

Looking forward to seeing Hidden Figures, thanks to OP, as I've seen the trailers and it looks my sort of thing, but it will be first time I've been to cinema on my own

See you all laters then

Have a good day everyone

Hope tweets can load our Poppy's pic so I have that to look forward too

I go put it on her facebook for you 3Dogs

Its already open, been open about a month. Its meant to be massive, but never been yet.

The penny has dropped. I was in the new one....the old one had people in stripping the shop fittings:o

I did wonder why this beautiful Lidl was being replaced. It was heaving. The Asda and Sains were very quiet although that could be deceptive as they are much larger stores.

Lidl and Aldi are certainly doing it right at the moment

I'm struggling getting my S vouchers put onto my Nectar account. CS desk are point blank refusing and the till can only accept one of each denomination at a time. I have lots of 200's

I can see me buying lots of 5p carriers:o

Morning luvlies, mention on the dark side best nectar virgin trains west coast offer yet 1,500 pts for any journey. Not on either of my accounts but may help someone

While I was checking on my app I happened to flick to my loaded offers. Both mine and DH collect points on each of your next 10 swipes at Sainsbobs were both full, showing green and ticked on Friday when I last checked. Our accounts are both showing amber, DH now needs 4 more shops to complete and I need 7 :eek:. What's happened, has anyone else had this happened please? We both swiped many times each last weekend.

Mines still showing Congratulations...you've completed ....however I need to have a good check through later as I'm certain I'm missing points from both my coupons and extra points coupons sent in the post:o

re Sainsbobs, I did 2 shops earlier in the week and put 200 points in each card. After that the ss till would not accept any so I had to go to Cs to get another 2 put on. This could be a very long job.

Did anyone share my feelings reading what George Michael will be buried in?:o

I'm sure I'm not the only one who cringed when a Gucci watch was mentioned:o

The tabloids are totally void of any social responsibility:mad:

Thats the gist of it!...depending on who you use. HL dont like you closing the account, so you need to keep 1k in it, but they say Virgin is ok with it. I think it has got to be worth a shot?....

Still thinking this morning. 3 thoughs occur
SIPPs have been around a long time so why have the Elite not figured this out before.
2ndly - it just seems too simple and easy, everything we do requires effort even getting 200 nectar points added to our accounts:)
3rdly - these funds are based on share value so they go up and down surely.

Also is it best to put in your max ammount £2*** for non earners close to the end of the tax year eg February and March?
And the do the withdrawal after HMRC have added their bit,,say July.

I think I would leave the account open with £1 rather than be a serial opener and closer.
