I had a little read back over the weekend,and notice that TM had the first drink of the year....

Have to ask what did it taste like....?
I've been doing the dry every other day thing and I am noticing a real difference....on the days I dont have a drink I have a hangover and on the days I have a drink,I'm enjoying it less and less to the extent that perhaps I sometimes struggle to drink a whole glass....which is very unlike me.

OH has a theory that its all to do with habit rather than the need to be drinking wine etc so has gone out and bought a bottle of bottle green cordial and now gives it to me in a wine glass on non drinking days....he is convinced its all about presentation rather than what you actually drink!

I think I enjoyed the anticipation more than the drink itself. We had both gone about 6 weeks and could possibly have gone longer but I needed white wine for a recipe so poured a glass for myself. Mr TM still hasn't had a drink yet.
I had one large glass and really enjoyed it. The next day, I had a headache and was generally not myself. I haven't finished the bottle yet. It's in the fridge. I'm not even bothered about it. I feel much more alert and upbeat without it. Plus I hate having headaches:o However we have some nights out coming up so will partake I guess.

Bubbs, it was on my app under offers. I had to link my account to my Nectar card and it seems to think I am a business so I didn't tell it I wasn't. Search for xxxxx and it comes up. It didn't work with a one4all card but does seem to work multiple times though only one per order.

I couldn't find the right Optiwell yesterday and bought the larger size using my MOC for a free one. COS has just accepted it and credited me £1 so I am very pleased.

Thanks will look and well done:T:T
LEJC sorry you are feeling that way but you are doing something to combat it , well done you:T:T

so you got the one litre long life Optiwell from the long life milk shelves rather than the one in the chilled fridge?
And it just says Optiwell on your receipt?

I've had the long life ones before when they were free but I am still in search of the little chilled ones ...

That is a shame that you cannot order that item with giftcards (I note that it is a catalogue number not a voucher code).

Now out of sheer curiosity, I wondered if all the cards are the same? I had tried 3 x £10 Black and 3 x £10 Pink and they didn't work . So I thought what about 3 x £10 Thank You ... and the order has gone through :cool:. Also just had another look and 3 x £10 Spend Here cards also go through to checkout.

Now to see what arrives/gets credited... nothing lost in trying .

Don't forget QC/TCB.

I found little chilled in my T yesterday in the fridge (but can be stored in the cupboard - only need to be in the fridge once opened). The CoS app has a map showing which T and S in theory stock them (if I recall, claimed them now so no longer showing!).
