    What is the benefit of buying dozens of razorS? I'm just not getting it, am I missing something?

    serious question :)


    I don't have dozens.... just about 15, one of the girlfriends has acquired one, I have one.... 13 in store it will last me a whilst!

    Good to know for next time

    So did you get your bonus points very soon after completing the transaction?


    Yes quite quickly, about a week, but dated the day after my order date.

    I was going to post about the 5000 code but it disappeared just after. But if anyone finds a code it's worth changing the bonus amount on the end of the code to see if there are any more.

    It looks like we will have to throw ourselves on the mercy of the Nectar customer services team.

    My conversation ended tonight with Nectar intending to "speak" to Viking tomorrow.

    Sorry AJ...I didn't have the time to reply this morning but wanted to say......ENJOY:D

    I know it's really difficult at first but think of the positives...... your shower will stay cleaner, your bills will fall and the place will be tidier. It used to amaze me, how when we came back after being out a while, everything was still as you left it:rotfl: Meals are easier to plan too and shopping less demanding. Make the most of it:D

    On a positive note, I've bought some goodies for the fridge and I now know they'll be there tomorrow :D. They'll still be there on Saturday :cool: and they'll be gone on Sunday as I'll have them for my tea :T

    Seriously though, I know exactly what I'm going to miss. Or not. A class example is to be told he's fed up with gravy dinners :eek: he'll cook for himself, that's fine son. Now he's a very good chef, don't get me wrong but I start to hear moaning that there's not enough tea for him :eek: and what is it he's missing out on I hear you ask. Liver and onions with mash and fried onions and GRAVY :rotfl: :rotfl:
    Quite funny, one positive that came out of DD moving out is that she suddenly found out how much sugar she and her fianc!e got through, I used to have to buy a bag a week, now I buy maybe two or three a year :eek: And DD has gone from having 5 (yes 5!!) spoons of sugar in her coffee to none, and her fianc!e now has sweeteners!!

    Oh I think he's already noticed a few things E. not so much grocery prices but the price of packs of toilet rolls, the air freshness that we use here and the price of a jar of Nescaf! :rotfl: :rotfl: he reckons it'll be cheaper to drink ground coffee all the time. We shall see :cool:


    Right, I've been hand sewing curtains as haven't got a sewing machine, can't use one :eek: my hands are stiff and painful, I'm tired and off to bed.

    Good night Elite xx
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.
